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 file of yours to fix please!

Greetings! Please take a look at File:ACU_Combat_Infantryman_Badges.JPG and see if you can categorize and describe it a bit better? It ended up in a catch-all category. While you're at it, if this is an U.S. insignia, you'll need the PD-USGov tag as well because the patches themselves are not your own work. Cheers!! Ellin Beltz (talk) 22:36, 11 November 2014 (UTC)

question

Hi, I see you added the image "Current structure of the 20th NG SFG(A)". Could you add one for the 19th NG SFG(A), so that we can complete the Special Forces (United States Army) article? Thanks Thewolfchild (talk) 03:48, 23 December 2017 (UTC)

Deleted files

Hello. If the images you post are regularly deleted, there is a reason for that. If you are the author of an image, it is a bad practice to include a copyright notice in it, especially if the name in the copyright notice is:

1. Different from your user name on Commons;
2. The name of a website.

It is a common pratice for admins to delete on sight images which include copyright notices with names different from the name of the uploader, because 99% of them are copyright violations. For more information about the good practices to identify your work, please see Commons:Enforcing license terms#Tools for identifying your work. If you could stop including such copyright notices in your images, this would avoid the loss of time and energy. Up to now, there is no proof that you are the author of these files. Your message is not enough to prove it. Usually, I would have asked you to submit an OTRS ticket before restoring your files (this is the usual practice for similar cases, where the authorship is doubtful). Nevertheless, in this case, I will restore them because I eventually think that they contain no original work that is protected by copyright (it is just a collage of insignia that are simple geometry), so it does not really matter if you are really the author or not.
