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.

A few words from France

Good afternoon. -- I read on this page that you're a newbye, as I was a month and a half ago on the photographic pages. I was then welcomed by two French users who helped me with some good advices. I would like to do so with you. I've seen your photos of flowers you uploaded last week. One of us told you that a part of a mushroom vas out of focus, another one that the DOF was insufficient. I think this is the main problem with such photographs : the depth of field is very important and we must be very careful with it. Every part of the flower/ fruit/ bird... has to be focused and sharp (not too much : look at one of my photos uploaded on the 29th of june ==> declined !). -- So to get a good DOF, try to use small apertures (f/11 or f/16, even f/22 if your lens is good), that means a lot of light not to be obliged to use a too slow speed... (I don't know anything about flash-units). -- Second point : if you use the binomial name of a flower, write it in italics. Even if it's already in italics in the file description, it isn't after you've used the bot "Nominate this image for QI". So you just have to add latin name when you definitely nominate your photo. I'm learning nature photography and I'm trying to learn it as well as I can ; I'm also an old man and I used to be a teacher, that's probably why I'm trying to help you. I hope these few words will do so. -- Sorry for my English. Best regards. JLPC (talk) 14:52, 2 July 2012 (UTC)

• +1 to JLPC. And, are you using a close up glass in front of lens? -- Jkadavoor (talk) 06:28, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for your suggestions, I wanna try to implement them in future, even if I have not a great expertise with the technique of fotography; I am not trying to make pictures with a professional quality...; what is a close up glass? Is it a close up lense? If it is: no I do not use one... --Danny S. (talk) 09:11, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

OK; then I didn't understand why this much shallow DOF event at F8. Try smaller aperture as suggested by JLPC. Please don't be discouraged by the current criticism. We all went through it. -- Jkadavoor (talk) 07:32, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

Move request

I don't quite understand the move request for these two files. Are these not Aconitum napellus? This is a bit confusing as the description still indicates that these are Aconitum napellus, while the category says they're unidentified? INeverCry 19:49, 11 August 2012 (UTC)

No, not A. napellus. Sorry, I will change the description. --Danny S. (talk) 19:57, 11 August 2012 (UTC)

 Done Changed. --Danny S. (talk) 20:08, 11 August 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the quick response. I've moved both files. INeverCry 20:16, 11 August 2012 (UTC)

All right. Thank you! --Danny S. (talk) 21:54, 11 August 2012 (UTC)

Location?

Hi Danny - do you have photo location data for File:Germer-0275.JPG and File:Germer-0276.JPG, please? Also, I can confirm they are Veratrum album and not Gentiana lutea. Thanks! - MPF (talk) 23:42, 12 August 2012 (UTC)

Hey! Took the photos at Monte Baldo, Lake Garda, Italy. --Danny S. (talk) 19:50, 13 August 2012 (UTC)

Thanks! - MPF (talk) 10:48, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

Also for this one, please! File:Pteridium aquilinum by Danny S. - 001.jpg - thanks, MPF (talk) 13:00, 28 August 2013 (UTC)

And for your Atropa belladonna photos, please! Locations greatly increase the value of the photos. Thanks! - MPF (talk) 11:43, 17 January 2014 (UTC)

I really don't need to publish the locations I visited ;-) --Danny S. (talk)

File:Katadolon® by Danny S. - 001.jpg

Hello. This product patented to you? Hindustanilanguage (talk) 07:11, 14 February 2013 (UTC).

No, is that a problem? It's patented by AWD Pharma... --Danny S. (talk) 07:59, 14 February 2013 (UTC)

"by Danny S." means this photography is taken by me; not that this product is patented by me. --Danny S. (talk) 08:01, 14 February 2013 (UTC)

It is perfectly okay. I was looking for the "promotional aspect". Keep up the good work that you are doing and all the very best to you. Hindustanilanguage (talk) 09:23, 14 February 2013 (UTC).

All right, thanks. --Danny S. (talk) 10:47, 14 February 2013 (UTC)

Misidentified image File:Sedum acre 137.jpg

Hi Danny S., your image File:Sedum acre 137.jpg shows very probably Sedum sexangulare, not Sedum acre because of the leaf form. Can you please tell me, in which area the photograph was taken? Thanks --Robert Flogaus-Faust (talk) 13:02, 10 March 2013 (UTC)

Ich glaube das tut leider wenig zur Sache, da es sich um ein künstlich angepflanztes Exemplar handelt. Die Aufnahme entstand in Südwestfalen, NRW. Liebe Grüße, --Danny S. (talk) 17:22, 10 March 2013 (UTC)

Dann dürfte wohl Category:Unidentified Sedum die beste Wahl sein. --Robert Flogaus-Faust (talk) 19:04, 10 March 2013 (UTC)

Ich habe das jetzt einfach selbst erledigt. --Robert Flogaus-Faust (talk) 11:51, 17 March 2013 (UTC)
