Fixingup
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. 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. |

Single-purpose account
editThank you for your message about the maps. Judging by the recency and scope of your edits, as well as your familiarity with specific Wikimedia regulations, I suspect that you are not a new user. In fact, you are acting like a Single-purpose account/sockpuppet established by someone who has been active on this site in the past. If that is the case, I must warn you that involving administrators may not be in your best interest as you may yourself end up being blocked as a sockpuppet. I ask that you reconsider your language of threats and stop your disruptive edits using single-purpose accounts.--Satt 2 (talk) 22:35, 16 February 2017 (UTC)
- I'm not threatening you. I've been looking at Commons regulations for a long time without having an account. I'm not a professional file creator so I never had a need. Now that I see someone like you ruining so many maps, I actually have a reason to have an account. If you think that me directing you to commons policies is threatening you then you have a very wrong take on editing here. --Fixingup (talk) 22:40, 16 February 2017 (UTC)
- Funny to read these comments from Satt_2, a user from en wiki indef-blocked/banned for disruptive editing. I see many map overwrites with either no upload comment or wrong/false ones. Looks like you try to harm the community in retaliation for your ban.--Denniss (talk) 00:20, 17 February 2017 (UTC)
- @Denniss: I have no reason to harm the community. Yes, I have had bans, but that makes me all the more qualified to give Fixingup the kind of advice that I gave based on my personal experience.
- That being said, I changed the colors/borders on the maps because what they depicted was not in line with the title. Iraq/Morocco/Tunisia etc, are irrelevant on maps pertaining to Europe. I've noted that where appropriate. --Satt 2 (talk) 03:40, 17 February 2017 (UTC)
- Very often maps of Europe colour in surrounding countries. It shows more information. In a few maps you also tried to delete regions that are in Europe which absolutely ruins the maps. --Growupon (talk) 04:26, 17 February 2017 (UTC)
