Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, YeshuaDavid!

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.

I'm sorry, I'm rather lazy while uploading images of that type. I'l change it. Connormah (talk) 03:12, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

There seems to be a problem regarding the description and/or licensing of this particular file. It has been found that you've added in the image's description only a Template that's not a license and although it provides useful information about the image, it's not a valid license. Could you please resolve this problem, adding the license in the image linked above? You can edit the description page and change the text. Uploading a new version of the file does not change the description of the file. This page may give you more hints on which license to choose. Thank you.

Tip: Categorizing images

---

Hello, YeshuaDavid~commonswiki!

Tip: Add categories to your files

Thanks a lot for contributing to the Wikimedia Commons! Here's a tip to make your uploads more useful: Why not add some categories to describe them? This will help more people to find and use them.

Here's how:

1) If you're using the UploadWizard, you can add categories to each file when you describe it. Just click "more options" for the file and add the categories which make sense:

2) You can also pick the file from your list of uploads, edit the file description page, and manually add the category code at the end of the page.

[[Category:Category name]]

For example, if you are uploading a diagram showing the orbits of comets, you add the following code:

[[Category:Astronomical diagrams]]

[[Category:Comets]]

This will make the diagram show up in the categories "Astronomical diagrams" and "Comets".

When picking categories, try to choose a specific category ("Astronomical diagrams") over a generic one ("Illustrations").

Thanks again for your uploads! More information about categorization can be found in Commons:Categories, and don't hesitate to leave a note on the help desk.

• Image:Henry Allingham in infancy.jpg is uncategorized since 16 July 2009.

File:Albino Jara.jpg

Is this realy a painting created in 1911? The images on that site are looking very similar, this looks like a painting collection created much later. Can you provide any evidence or proofe for that date? At best an artist/painter. --Martin H. (talk) 22:11, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

p.s.: Also on a painting the painter normaly makes his author sign. I dont belive that the author is unknown. --Martin H. (talk) 22:19, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

• Hi, no I don't have evidence of its date. I was assuming the paintings were made contemporary to the lifetimes of the presidents to mark their inaugurations, but I have no evidence of that and the site doesn't give any details as to their origin. At the very least, they must be replicas or adaptations of original paintings or photographs that were made. As for signatures, the images are of too low resolution to view that kind of detail. YeshuaDavid (talk) 22:25, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

A photographic reproduction is not the problem. Are this images from some gallery? Someone to ask? --Martin H. (talk) 22:26, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

I found the images on this website here. Having a search around though, they are also displayed on this website here and this website here. Not speaking Spanish, its very difficult to find their true origin. YeshuaDavid (talk) 22:30, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

A point to start is of course mre.gob.py, maybe they can help and maybe it worth to ask for a better quality reproduction to better represent the history or the country. --Martin H. (talk) 23:31, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

Would you mind contacting them for me? The email provided on the website is sistemas@mre.gov.py. I'm quite new to the Commons and I don't really know the procedure surrounding copyright laws and creative commons and all that, and how you go about representing this site.

Your account will be renamed

Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called YeshuaDavid. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name YeshuaDavid~commonswiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation
