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).

Hey. Some nice images there. For the Cork ones, can you consider categorising them under Category:Cork (city) (or any of its sub-cats). To help others find them? Cheers. Guliolopez (talk) 20:16, 27 July 2017 (UTC)

OpenStreetMaps edit
Hi Charlesolivercork, you've uploaded a great number of OpenStreetMap snippets, all with wrong license templates. Please use the {{OpenStreetMap}} template to do it properly. And please export the maps into SVGs which scale much better than PNGs which are rasterized. And finally, you do not need to upload maps of Irish towns to include them as here. Just click on the coordinates in the upper left corner of the article and the OpenStreetMap will pop up – at its most current version, not something outdated you've uploaded some time before.
