User talk:Stuvio

Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, Stuvio!

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.

Project scope

Hi Stuvio, please respect that Commons has a project scope and that contributed images must be realistically useful for an educational purpose. Therefore please give useful descriptions and useful categories to your images so that every other user can find your images through the categories and can understand what you want to teach with the images through their descriptions. Note that Category:WWI for your images is wrong (look into this category!) and that Category:World War I is much too general and inaccurate for images of a certain object at a certain location. Therefore please always keep things educational: Always categorize as exact as possible the object and the location (frequently possible with one category) of what is visible in each image. Use the search tool fo find appropriate categories. For instance if you search for "Tyne Cot" you soon find Category:Tyne Cot Cemetery for your File:Memorial Wall Tyne Cot.jpg.

Editing

Hi, I just wanted to participate in the Wiki Loves Monuments thing but that clearly didn't work out like I wanted. I can't edit the information (it seems).
