First steps tutorial

Our first steps tour and our FAQ 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. You don't need technical skills in order to contribute here. Be bold contributing here and assume good faith for the intentions of others. This is a wiki—it is really easy.

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 (direct access). You can also contact an administrator on their talk page. If you have a specific copyright question, ask at Commons talk:Licensing.

Goodies, tips and tricks
  • Put Babel boxes on your user page so others know what languages you can speak and indicate your graphic abilities.
  • All your uploads are stored in your personal gallery
  • Please sign your name on Talk pages by typing ~~~~
  • Use the CommonSense tool to find good categories for your files (then other people can find them too!)
  • To link to an image page without embedding the image, type: [[:Image:Foo.jpg]], which produces: Image:Foo.jpg
  • If you're copying files from another project, be sure to use the CommonsHelper
Made a mistake?
  • Did you want to rename or move a file? Simply upload the file again and mark the old one like this: {{bad name|correct name}}
  • For more information read the full deletion guidelines
(P.S. Would you like to provide feedback on this message?)

Testing on Image:Vanessa Carlton 2 by David Shankbone.jpg edit

You can't nominate a photo for deltion because the artist doesn't like it. Evrik 19:09, 9 June 2008 (UTC)Reply

  • thank you. what would be more common and acceptable reasons? Is there any way I can get a photo up in that main spot? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Luvinstarzz (talk • contribs) 19:17, 9 June 2008 (UTC)Reply
    • You can only nominate it for deletion if there are copyright problems. As for what happens on wikipedia, come up with a better "free" photo. If you are in contact with the artist, ask here for a photo. Keep the emails and forward those to the OTRS desk. Evrik 19:24, 9 June 2008 (UTC)Reply


I have a picture that was sent to me to put up. I've uploaded it to commons but it says I don't have enough information. I'm an intern at the publicity company. Anything you could help me with would be gratly appreciated.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Luvinstarzz (talk • contribs) 19:17, 9 June 2008 (UTC)Reply

Your recent edits edit

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button   located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! Evrik 19:41, 9 June 2008 (UTC)Reply
