Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, Florimagix!

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.

Watermarks

Hi Florimagix, please respect Commons:Watermarks and do NOT watermark your images. Greetings, -- Ies (talk) 10:57, 13 December 2014 (UTC)

Hi, I have made the watermark away from the main part of the image.

I understand the watermarking policy is under discussion, where watermarks are "discouraged" but not disallowed.and I think that this watermark is not obtrusive.  

The license is cc-sa, In fact any derivative work can easily edit it away without losing content. Hope this is okay. Florimagix

Hi,(Les) further to above, question comes, Is it a signature (attribution) or a watermark ? Plan to upload some more images, with labels of species-name and author-tag, in un-obtrusive position and under cc-by-sa license, not having any copyright logo.

 Hope this is not in violation of existing policy, even if discouraged ?

Categories

Please also respect Commons:Categories. In case of plants always categorize the botanical (latin) species name. Greetings, -- Ies (talk) 11:02, 13 December 2014 (UTC)

Hi. I agree botanical name categories would be useful; With a view to limiting the number of categories, perhaps the Genus name could be used. I am new user to Wikimedia, if the accepted practice is different categories for individual species, will follow it. Florimagix
