Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, JustSomePics!

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.

Thanks for uploading File:Hoffmeister e010786144-v8.jpg. I notice that the file page either doesn't contain enough information about the license or it contains contradictory information about the license, so the copyright status is unclear. If you created this file yourself, then you must provide a valid copyright tag. For example, you can tag it with {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} to release it under the multi-license GFDL plus Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike All-version license or you can tag it with {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. (See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of license tags that you can use.) If you did not create the file yourself or if it is a derivative of another work that is possibly subject to copyright protection, then you must specify where you found it (e.g. usually a link to the web page where you got it), you must provide proof that it has a license that is acceptable for Commons (e.g. usually a link to the terms of use for content from that page), and you must add an appropriate license tag. If you did not create the file yourself and the specific source and license information is not available on the web, you must obtain permission through the VRT system and follow the procedure described there. Note that any unsourced or improperly licensed files will be deleted one week after they have been marked as lacking proper information, as described in criteria for deletion. If you have uploaded other files, please confirm that you have provided the proper information for those files, too. If you have any questions about licenses please ask at Commons:Village pump/Copyright or see our help pages. Thank you.

Autopatrol given

Hello. I just wanted to let you know that I have granted autopatrol rights to your account; the reason for this is that I believe you are sufficiently trustworthy and experienced to have your contributions automatically marked as "reviewed". This has no effect on your editing, it is simply intended to make it easier for users that are monitoring Recent changes or Recent uploads to find unproductive edits amidst the productive ones like yours. In addition, the Flickr upload feature and an increased number of batch-uploads in UploadWizard, uploading of freely licensed MP3 files, overwriting files uploaded by others and an increased limit for page renames per minute are now available to you. Thank you. ~ Nahid ^Talk 01:18, 25 June 2014 (UTC)

Re: NARA upload

Hey JustSomePics, this is a great find. Can I ask how you identified the ships? Ed ^{[talk] [majestic titan]} 04:27, 23 August 2017 (UTC)

Thanks. There was nothing in the caption to identify the ships, but one could use process of elimination. Those large hulls could only be dreadnoughts, and there were just a few of those under construction in Germany at the end of the war. The three in the photo were under construction at that Hamburg shipyard. The Bayern class hull has the characteristic 4 turret arrangement. The battlecruiser is larger than the Bayern-class, so that identifies it uniquely. The Salamis hull is less distinct, but the roofs over its hull indicate it was carefully mothballed, which fits the history of that ship, where construction was suspended at the start of the war. JustSomePics (talk) 12:46, 23 August 2017 (UTC)

That stands to reason - presumably Salamis would have been towed back to Hamburg after the war, since AG Vulcan would want possession of it there in the off chance that the Greeks could be made to pay to finish it. On the German ships, I've seen that photo before, with those ships identified - here is an example. Parsecboy (talk) 15:47, 25 August 2017 (UTC)

For what it's worth, I was looking through Aidan Dodson's The Kaiser's Battlefleet - this picture is included, and the hull in question is identified there as Salamis, so I think that settles it. Parsecboy (talk) 16:36, 9 March 2018 (UTC)
