Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, IrisAtma!

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.

categorizing

Please try to understand Commons:Categories before you go on. --Achim (talk) 18:58, 24 November 2020 (UTC)

I second that. Please do not add tens of general categories (like Art, The arts, etc.) to all your uploads, because it is very polluting, especially when you add files to meta-categories: someone has to clean it all up, so it gives a lot of work to others. Try to add one, two, perhaps three specific categories, that should normally cover the bulk of subjects. Thanks, Eissink (talk) 23:34, 24 November 2020 (UTC).

I find hard to understand the categories tree

I'm still learning. I want to contribute to a GLAM project. I had done a series of collaborations years ago, and now I am picking up and re-learning the process. A point that confuses me, is that I find it hard to understand the categories tree. To learn how it works, I plan on keeping on reading the tutorials and re-editing the already uploaded files before uploading more. IrisAtma (talk) 08:24, 25 November 2020 (UTC)
