Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, Steve Icemen!

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.

Drew Doughty

Hello. If you create a new category for a person, as you did for Drew Doughty, please don't forget to switch all the categories that pertain to the subject from each of the individual images (e.g. Category:Ice hockey defensemen, Category:Los Angeles Kings players, etc.) to the new category, otherwise we run afoul of COM:OVERCAT. Thanks.--Skeezix1000 (talk) 13:41, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for your note! Usually I'm working on Wikipedia, and this is the learning curve in Commons yet. Please excuse my mistakes, I am willing to improve myself. With many thanks, best regards --Steve Icemen (talk) 14:35, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

No need to apologize. I've been here 5 years and it's still a learning curve. Cheers! --Skeezix1000 (talk) 18:41, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at its entry. If you created this file, please note that the fact that it has been proposed for deletion does not necessarily mean that we do not value your kind contribution. It simply means that one person believes that there is some specific problem with it, such as a copyright issue. Please see Commons:But it's my own work! for a guide on how to address these issues. Please remember to respond to and – if appropriate – contradict the arguments supporting deletion. Arguments which focus on the nominator will not affect the result of the nomination. Thank you!

I'm no expert on licensing, you can tell me what licenses are accepted by Flickr? I had transferred the file from the english Wikipedia to Commons, and thought this is desirable. Please help me, thanks. --Steve Icemen (talk) 08:46, 30 June 2011 (UTC)

Sorry, the above message is just the default when filing a DR. Nothing of this is your "fault", the problem are the conflicting statements by the Flickr user. --Túrelio (talk) 09:24, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
