Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, Sara Thomas (WMUK)!

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.

Hi

I have just deleted two duplicates of building photos with just a street name - it would be very very useful to have the locality in the commons category as well - could be anywhere on the planet for some - if its glasgow - edinburgh - please put it - thanks JarrahTree (talk) 13:16, 21 May 2018 (UTC)

@JarrahTree: Hey there, thanks for those deletions, appreciated. I'd uploaded these as part of an event using the WikiShootMe tool, which I thought uploaded all the metadata including coordinates... worth knowing that we need to come back to categories. Thanks!

• n.p. - I am doing dumbo flight across the category space and am not trying to look at any meta data - its what keeps things from being exterminated in wp en for a start - qualifier item to know whether it is in glasgae or not ... very well worth trying to keep on top of categories wherever JarrahTree (talk) 13:30, 21 May 2018 (UTC)

@JarrahTree: Agree! Will be adding this to the instructions for partner orgs... Sara Thomas (WMUK) (talk) 13:34, 21 May 2018 (UTC)
