Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, Bmatilla!

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.

New Upload to Tropical Depression 1 .gif image.

18 April 2017- 16:41 EDT: Latest tropical depression 1 image upload adds links to datasets for both satellite imagery and MERRA-2 reanalysis, as well as a link to the Integrated Data Viewer. This upload also corrects a previously deleted version of the .gif image that did not justify the dataset locations and hence led to potential copyright violations.

Added a signature to the end of the talk point above. My sincere apologies for the confusion. Bmatilla (talk) 20:53, 18 April 2017 (UTC)Bmatilla

The time of this loop is not from 18 April 2017, the date shall be the one of the loop, not the upload time. I will have to correct that and rename it to a more descriptive name. Pierre cb (talk) 21:16, 18 April 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing this out. I have gone ahead and modified the date to reflect the runtime of the loop. Bmatilla (talk) 21:27, 18 April 2017 (UTC)

If you have all the data for the source(s) and the appropriate license(s) to use, then go to Commons:Undeletion requests and ask there - they will undelete the image - otherwise a bot will pick it out as a re-upload (even if name is different) and list it in User:SteinsplitterBot/Previously deleted files, and it might get deleted again.
