I am Luistxo Fernandez, Basque wikipedian. My main contributions as a Wikipedian are in Basque, but from time to time I do edits in Spanish and English Wikipedias.

My contributions to the global Wiki community are more focused in Wikimedia Commons; here you have my Image uploads.

Also quite fond of my contributions to Wikidata: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Luistxo // and restricted to item creation.

Useful tricks

[edit]

Use CropTool to crop something from a wider photo.

Use WikiShootme to explore images located in a given area, and also the wikidata around.

Always add the infobox to Commons categoriesː

{{Wikidata Infobox}}

In case you can only precise a circa dateː

{{other date|~|1950|1960}}

I use the Commons Android app to upload images from my phone, and also as a tool to explore a given area when I'm out there.

How to ask for the deletion of a category.

My own trick with info panels

[edit]

I take pics of info panels so they document a given object or place. Then, in the summary description of both the panel image & described thing photo, I add a description line like

|description={{Other |FILENAME_OF_THE_OTHER_FILE.jpg|info panel description}}


Example: some paleolithic object here, and the panel describing them.
