Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, Michael Snow!

First steps tutorial Our first steps tour and our frequently asked questions will help you a lot after registration. They explain how to customize the interface (for example the language), how to upload files and our basic licensing policy (Wikimedia Commons only accepts free content). You don't need technical skills in order to contribute here. Be bold when contributing and assume good faith when interacting with others. This is a wiki. Getting help More information is available at the community portal. You may ask questions at the help desk, village pump or on IRC channel #wikimedia-commons (webchat). You can also contact an administrator on their talk page. If you have a specific copyright question, ask at the copyright village pump.

Goodies, tips, and tricks Put Babel boxes on your user page so others know what languages you can speak and indicate your graphic abilities. You can find the files you have uploaded in your Uploads. Please sign your name on Talk pages by typing ~~~~. To link to an image page without embedding the image, type: [[:File:Foo.jpg]], which produces: File:Foo.jpg. You may enable gadgets (custom features) for your account. There are several tools to upload files. Have you edited Wikipedia before? This guide might be useful. Made a mistake? Do you want to have a file renamed or moved? Use the move link and wait for an authorized user to rename it. Do you want to have your recently uploaded picture removed? Tag it as {{speedy|reason here}}. For more information read the deletion guidelines.

Babel and red link

Hiho :)

I didn't like the red link and on Commons everyone should have a babel box. Please amend as needed :). Cheers, notafish }<';> 10:03, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

Commons talk:Sexual content

Hi Michael. I've been working on issues regarding sexuality (including legal aspects) since November of '09. I would like to invite you to participate in the ongoing discussions on the new proposal. I understand that the Board wishes to allow the community to set standards, however there's a growing frustration at the lack of involvement from the Board and the legal department and progress toward final approval has been halted because of this. - Stillwaterising (talk) 06:01, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

Interwiki collaboration

Hi. The Commons and other projects (Wikibooks, Wikiversity), etc. could use more help.

Please see:

• mw:Project:WikiProject Interwiki Integration
• en:Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals/Cross-wiki collaboration

I noticed you write and design online courses. So you might be interested in integrated watchlists and other ways to implement cross-wiki collaboration by many more editors. Editors who could help out at editing tutorials and courses, etc.. --Timeshifter (talk) 21:28, 4 June 2010 (UTC)
