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.

Photo request

Hello Geetanjalidhar - thanks for adding a new species Buteo burmanicus to Commons collection! Perhaps what you didn't realise, you also added a second new species at the same time, Pinus bhutanica in the tree it is sitting in. Would it be possible for you to get some more photos of this tree, please? Photos showing the whole tree, and close-ups showing the foliage and cones, if possible. Many thanks! - MPF (talk) 17:46, 19 March 2014 (UTC)

Excellent, thanks! - MPF (talk) 21:52, 20 March 2014 (UTC)

Locations

Nice to see your photos here, Geetanjali! Do include the location information and dates in the description field of the photos - you can edit and add the extra info which is very useful and vital in some cases. Shyamal (talk) 18:00, 20 March 2014 (UTC)

File tagging File:Sykes's Lark 2.jpg

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading File:Sykes's Lark 2.jpg. This media is missing permission information.

File:Scaly Thrush 2.jpg your own photo?

Hello Geetanjalidhar, is File:Scaly Thrush 2.jpg really your own photo, or do you have a permission? There is no Exif data ... otherwise go to Commons:Deletion requests and read, please. --LudwigSebastianMicheler (talk) 18:32, 24 March 2017 (UTC)

I just discussed with Geetanjali (who I know in real life) and she notes that she found it convenient to download her photos from Facebook on her mobile phone and upload using the Wikimedia mobile app. She thinks all this is too complicated and is fine with all her images being deleted here.
