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).

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.

Location?

Hi ImagePerson - could you add some details about where you took File:Tree against sky.jpg please? It will help a lot with identification and adding the right categories. Thanks! - MPF (talk) 22:20, 18 February 2022 (UTC)

The tree is on the ridgeline above Mossy Cave trail in Bryce Canyon Park. It is a limber pine, I think. I will update the entry. Paul Harrison (talk) 15:31, 19 February 2022 (UTC)

Excellent, thanks! From that location, it's a Ponderosa Pine (of the subspecies Pinus ponderosa subsp. brachyptera to be exact); the needles are too long for Limber Pine. - MPF (talk) 18:23, 19 February 2022 (UTC)

Duplicate images

Hello, ImagePerson! (Or do you prefer Paul?) I notice that a couple of Ottawa fire files you just uploaded look exactly the same, and that while both have the same pixel dimensions File:Fire hoses play on burning house 5241.jpg is several times larger than File:House Fire Sprayed by Fire Hoses 5241.jpg. The general default assumption is that the larger file should be kept, but here I wonder if the larger one might have been ‘inflated’ with extraneous data from the processing software (working channels, alternative formats, version history &c.) and therefore a waste of bandwidth to most prospective downloaders. Or does it perhaps have a greater bit-depth or use ‘gentler’ compression, making it potentially more useful? I could probably make a determination by downloading them, but I thought it easier just to ask … Please decide which is the redundant copy and tag it with {{Duplicate}} or {{SD|G7}}. If the better one has the less preferred filename, just let me know and I expect I can move it once the other is gone. Thanks!—Odysseus1479 (talk) 01:23, 28 December 2023 (UTC)

Thanks. Will review this in the next day or two and let you know. My view is that if I cannot see a difference at 100% the larger file should go. Paul Harrison (talk) 15:40, 28 December 2023 (UTC)

Delete the larger one "Fire Hoses play...". The smaller one actually has very light denoise and sharpen, was saved as a high resolution jpg, and looks slightly better. I think I have inserted the tag you asked for, but let me know if not. Paul Harrison (talk) 17:20, 28 December 2023 (UTC)

Yes, thanks, although you forgot to include the extension, which is needed in links. (I fixed it: if you look at the page now—if it’s not already deleted—you should see a preview in the yellow box. A red link like File:House Fire Sprayed by Fire Hoses 5241 indicates that the target does not exist—and if you think it should, there’s probably a typo.) Happy editing, and the best of the new year!—Odysseus1479 (talk) 20:13, 28 December 2023 (UTC)
