Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, Jagulin!

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.

What have you done?

Why are there no contributions, no user page, nothing, for this user? History only shows " 07:58, 11 March 2015‎ Wikimedia Commons Welcome talk contribs‎ m 229 bytes +229‎ ". Have you erased everything else? If so, why? Why is there nothing here...? Is this a real user? Best Regards, from Jan --Janwikifoto (talk) 19:54, 1 December 2020 (UTC)

Hi Jan! Your curiosity was unexpected, but I understand that it comes from my earlier comment about copyright notice.

Although the different Wikimedia sites have a central login now, there is no central user page. I created one here now, I didn't think anyone to be interested earlier. In my opinion and experience, discussions should focus on topic rather than person.

I'll leave judgement of "real user" to others, but the account was created and maintained by a living person. The history of this talk page seems accurate, but is hardly relevant. Anyone looking for a current list of my contributions to Commons should instead look at a link like this. It may not be extensive, but doesn't look empty to me.

Är du svensk? Med tanke på hur litet WP är på svenska, är ett bra och starkt förslag att aktiverar dig personligen, ser till att personligen blir känd, titta in på WMSE kontor, bygga en riktig identitet. Helt inte bara en online - sådana kan vara fake - utan riktig. Ett annat tips, är att läsa CC Licenese Conditions, alltså läsa VILLKORE, inte sammafattningen. Tänka, flera dagar, på vad meningarna betyder. Läsa svensk lag om copyright. Kanske några univ-kurs böcker. Först därefter, är man kanske mogen att diskutera de finer points in the legal deed. Observera även att 90% av alla mina bilder är betalda av WMSE, resekostnader, dvs för Varje bild du eller någon annan icke-påläst lyckas ta bort, skadas WMSE... Jag vore tacksam om du kunde hålla efter vandaler som vill ta bort, ta bort, bara för att de inte förstår licenser och villkor, in i minsta detalj. Jagönskar dig lycka till med dina juridik-studier!

I've thought about it for "several days" now and I'm writing only to close this misled discussion. I would have hoped that Jan read my initial suggestion instead of coming here to question my intentions and my account. Note that I just asked for more clear copyright notes, I never (so far) questioned his rights or asked for any file removal.

In my world, Wikipedia is built by all volunteers together. There is of course no reason to ask for a law degree and office-visits. Though some credentials may be positive, anyone is welcome to engage with good intentions. I'd question any assumption that the work of the many not taking payment from WMSE should be brushed off as less valuable or "vandalism". Better would be for those very engaged to make sure their copyright claims are clear for everyone and respect the need for references to be easily checked. Jagulin (talk) 16:44, 8 February 2021 (UTC)
