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.

Hello, GrapedApe!

Thanks a lot for contributing to the Wikimedia Commons! Here's a tip to make your uploads more useful: Why not add some categories to describe them? This will help more people to find and use them.

Here's how:

1) If you're using the UploadWizard, you can add categories to each file when you describe it. Just click "more options" for the file and add the categories which make sense:

2) You can also pick the file from your list of uploads, edit the file description page, and manually add the category code at the end of the page.

[[Category:Category name]]

For example, if you are uploading a diagram showing the orbits of comets, you add the following code:

[[Category:Astronomical diagrams]]

[[Category:Comets]]

This will make the diagram show up in the categories "Astronomical diagrams" and "Comets".

When picking categories, try to choose a specific category ("Astronomical diagrams") over a generic one ("Illustrations").

Thanks again for your uploads! More information about categorization can be found in Commons:Categories, and don't hesitate to leave a note on the help desk.

Your request of Transparency for text logo it's been  Done now, please have a look. Ivan Akira (talk) 09:38, 30 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Because the compression is so heavy on this image, I've decided to pull the colours from http://www.itsportsnet.com/leagues/7711/graphics/acha.gif, which seems to be a more exact logo.

The blue interior is:

The red interior is

Also, check out http://www.nattyware.com/pixie.php, which is a fantastically small stand-alone colour-picker program. Really good for situations like this.— Huntster (t @ c) 06:13, 16 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You requested for the file "File:CityCountyBuildingPittsburgh.JPG" to be renamed. However, I note that the English Wikipedia article "Pittsburg City-County Building" refers to the building by the name "Pittsburg City-County Building". Can you provide some evidence (e.g., a link to an official website) to show that the building is actually called the "County Office Building"? — Cheers, JackLee ^–talk– 07:39, 23 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! There was a single ticket (#2006061810007652) from June 2006 giving permission for images from asergeev.com to be used under GFDL (and given when it was issued, these can use the "migration=relicense" parameter. Do you have any images in particular that this may apply to? And regarding the Cornell image you mentioned, the applied OTRS ticket is the correct one. I've gone ahead and cleaned it up a bit. If there's anything else I can help with, let me know. — Huntster (t @ c) 10:42, 5 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I fixed the syntax in the template to make migration possible. --MGA73 (talk) 06:53, 13 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Thank you for uploading Image:Arts Quad and Goldwin Smith Hall.jpg, however the license that you have uploaded it under has been deprecated. Please could you select a new free license that describes the rights of the image correctly? If you are not able to do this, the image will be deleted in 7 days.

For more information on licenses that can be used on Wikimedia Commons, please see Commons:Licensing. If you have any questions, please ask at the village pump. Thank you for your patience and consideration. This is an automatic message by Nikbot.--Filnik 14:37, 5 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again. Did you really mean to overwrite your previous upload of this file, now File:Jefferson Medical College anatomy ticket 1865.jpg?   — Jeff G. ツ 12:38, 16 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Yes, I think that was a mis-upload. See File:Anatomy Ticket 1842.jpg. Thanks for checking though,--GrapedApe (talk) 03:52, 17 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I work a lot of RfD a day, and always try to judge them with objectivity, honesty and good faith. In this process I admit there's room for errors, but frankly I see nothing copyrightable in a Justice's scales. Anyway you're free to resubmit it for deletion and I wouldn't take part in the new RfD. -- SERGIO ^{(aka the Blackcat)} 11:51, 10 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Being new to commons - I am not sure what you think is problematic with the works you nominated for deletion? They were not only painted/sculptured by Dvora but also modified and uploaded by her. The uploaded photographs are therefore duly licensed for use in wikipedia. Please point me to any policy stating otherwise - since she has voiced an interest in upload new versions of some of these images as well as some new pictures.

If the category is up for deletion because it has been superseded, consider the notion that although the category may be deleted, your hard work (which we all greatly appreciate) lives on in the new category.

Hi GrapedApe, thanks for your application to be an image reviewer. The application has been removed as successful, and you've been added to the list of reviewers. You can review all kind of image licenses on Commons. Please see Commons:License review and Commons:Flickr files if you haven't done so already. We also have a guide how to detect copyright violations. Backlogs include Flickr review, Picasa review, Panoramio review, and files from other sources. You can use one of the following scripts by adding one of the lines to your common.js:

importScript('User:ZooFari/licensereviewer.js'); // stable script for reviewing images from any kind of source OR

importScript('User:Rillke/LicenseReview.js'); // contains also user notification when review fails, auto blacklist-check and auto-thank you message for Flickr-reviews.

You can also add {{User reviewer}} or {{User trusted}} to your user page if you wish. Thank you for your contributions on Commons!--Morning Sunshine (talk) 02:10, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

On Wanderlustering's page you told them "that these images were encyclopedic"[2] when saying that you had removed them. I think you meant to say unencyclopedic. I mention it because the editor has continued to upload altered images. I have asked them to stop editing images, but I did not know if you wanted to correct yourself.

Hi GrapedApe, I saw too late that there was the deletion discussion about this picture. Could you please briefly grant me access to the picture, so I can check if it can be used in a non-English Wikipedia? From what I remember, it meets the requirements of the German Wikipedia, and then I'd like to talk to the experts there and check if we can safely upload it there and continue using it. Thanks, Ibn Battuta (talk) 11:50, 8 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
