Hello. I am a Scottish user, and have been for 16 years, 3 months and 12 days. I usually deal with tagging copyright violations, images and files outside of the project scope and I am trying to move into deletion discussions. However, I have been known to abandon Commons for long periods of time, as I focus on my role as an administrator on the English Wikipedia. I try to avoid drama as much as possible here. Hola. Soy un usario escosés, y he sido hace casi un año. Suelo trabajo con etiquetado violaciónes de derechos de autor, imágenes y archivos fuera del alcance del proyecto y estoy tratando de contribuir a debates de las supresiónes. Sin embargo, se me ha conocido a abandonar Commons para períodos de tiempo más largos, como yo se centran en mi papel como administrador en la Wikipedia inglesa. Trato de evitar el drama tanto como sea posible aquí. Foxj (talk · contributions · Move log · Statistics · logs · block log) |

"White Lies at Barfly" imageeditHi, just wondering, were you the original picture-taker-er of the above image? I'm looking to find out some information about it. Thanks! --SteelersFan UK06 (talk) 03:03, 27 November 2009 (UTC)

See what you think! =) Adam Cuerden (talk) 05:57, 23 May 2010 (UTC) POTY voteseditRemember that you can vote only once in the final round; I saw you voted for more than one image in the final round: I suggest you to remove all your votes and leave just one, otherwise none of your votes will be counted.

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

Your account will be renamededitHello, 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 WeBuriedOurSecretsInTheGarden. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name WeBuriedOurSecretsInTheGarden~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,
Round 1 of Picture of the Year 2022 voting is open!edit![]() Read this message in your language Dear Wikimedian, Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the 2022 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year will be the seventeenth edition of the annual Wikimedia Commons photo competition, which recognizes exceptional contributions by users on Wikimedia Commons. Wikimedia users are invited to vote for their favorite images featured on Commons during the last year (2022) to produce a single Picture of the Year. Hundreds of images that have been rated Featured Pictures by the international Wikimedia Commons community in the past year are all entered in this competition. These images include professional animal and plant shots, breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historical images, photographs portraying the world's best architecture, impressive human portraits, and so much more. For your convenience, we have sorted the images into topical categories. Two rounds of voting will be held: In the first round, you may vote for as many images as you like. The top 30 overall and the two most popular images in each category will continue to the final. In the final round, you may vote for just three images to become the Picture of the Year. Round 1 will end on UTC. Thanks, You are receiving this message because you voted in the 2021 Picture of the Year contest. Delivered by MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 09:15, 20 April 2023 (UTC) |
