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.

Hi TaraMacphail, thanks for your uploads.
You missed to add a license template at File:120411 - Timothy Antalfy - 3b - 2012 Team processing.jpg. Also, when completing the description template, it should read

== {{int:filedesc}} == {{Information

instead of:

== {{int:filedesc}} == {{Australian Paralympic Committee --Túrelio (talk) 09:32, 11 August 2012 (UTC)

Good afternoon Túrelio. Thanks for your message and the other one. Hopefully I can address some of your concerns from your other message. Firstly, a template for the Australian Paralympic Committee really does exist! You may view it here: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Australian_Paralympic_Committee Secondly, thank you kindly for noticing the duplication of the headline Summary - I had already noticed this discrepancy too! I have noted it to the APC so it will be up to them to fix it in their template if they so wish. I can not edit the template. If you have any further concerns I am happy to put you in contact with them. Thank you for your time and I hope you have a great Tuesday :) --TaraMacphail (talk) 04:14, 14 August 2012 (UTC)

Autopatrol given

Hello. I just wanted to let you know that I have granted autopatrol rights to your account; the reason for this is that I believe you are sufficiently trustworthy and experienced to have your contributions automatically marked as "reviewed". This has no effect on your editing, it is simply intended to make it easier for users that are monitoring Recent changes or Recent uploads to find unproductive edits amidst the productive ones like yours. In addition, the Flickr upload feature and an increased number of batch-uploads in UploadWizard, uploading of freely licensed MP3 files, overwriting files uploaded by others and an increased limit for page renames per minute are now available to you. Thank you. INeverCry 00:29, 7 December 2012 (UTC)

Thank you INeverCry! Have a great Friday. --TaraMacphail (talk) 00:36, 7 December 2012 (UTC)

I've just messaged both the user who tagged the image and the admin who deleted it. Graham87 (talk) 14:59, 17 August 2013 (UTC)

Thanks Graham, this photo was supplied by the APC prior to the 2012 Paralympics as there was no 2012 Team portrait available of Brad --TaraMacphail (talk) 11:10, 18 August 2013 (UTC)

Category:Images from the Australian Paralympic Committee

"Sport the library": are they the APC? I was hoping to talk with the Canadian Paralympic Committee, and try and coax them into releasing some of their photography library as CC-BY, but I was wondering if you have advice. -- Nick Moreau (talk) 00:19, 9 May 2014 (UTC)

Just realizing that yes, they are APC images, but yeah... was it just a cold call/email? -- Nick Moreau (talk) 00:19, 9 May 2014 (UTC)

Hi Tara. Tony asked me to delete the category Nathalie Cardowiner, as it is misspelt. Hawkeye7 (talk) 02:43, 5 January 2016 (UTC)
