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.

Uploading a higher/ original/ full resolution

…is both a welcome and minor fix. So please feel encouraged to simply upload a new version of a file. You find the link for uploading a new version directly below the file revision table:

• Upload a new version of this file

If you are unsure, you can read our guideline at: COM:OVERWRITE (replacement with higher resolution versions of the same file is listed as an example of an acceptable situation). In case something went wrong with your upload (e.g. broken file [happens occasionally]) you will be still able to revert to the previous file.

Thanks in advance and happy uploading. This will save us admins time we have to spend processing duplicate files. -- Rillke^(q?) 14:34, 17 November 2012 (UTC)

Thank you very much for the information. I will keep that in mind. -- Pc3021 (talk) 13:44, 18 November 2012 (UTC)

Just to be sure, with the new files already here, would it still be helpful if I would upload new versions of the old file? I think I should then remove the duplicate tag from the original file and put it on the new file. Could you please confirm? Thanks in advance. -- Pc3021 (talk) 14:00, 18 November 2012 (UTC)

Hi. That's not required. If we would want, we could merge the history but in most cases the uploader does not matter so we can delete the old low-res-ones. In any case we must carefully check before deleting so it wouldn't add a huge time benefit. Thanks for your willingness to help. This is much appreciated. -- Rillke^(q?) 14:25, 18 November 2012 (UTC)
