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.

Sorry just saw your note on my talk page. Unfortunately, email registration keeps failing for me as the email never arrives. So I don't get any notifications unless I log on. Sorry I missed the deadline would have loved to help with the preliminary voting. My German is not up to scratch but Ich lerne. Did you want me to upload my images onto the Kölner Dom wiki page? I fairly new to wiki and don't really know my way around. Thanks.Peniole (talk) 14:28, 17 October 2017 (UTC)

@Peniole: Thanks for your message. Indeed, if your picture suits better to the Kölner Dome pages, you may add it yourself. Unfortunately, we only have a German how-to for that. But if you need further help, please don't hesitate to contact me. Best, Martin Rulsch (WMDE) (talk) 16:23, 17 October 2017 (UTC)

Wiki loves Monuments

Hallo Martin, ich weiß nicht, ob Du auch in diesem Jahr mit dem Projekt Wiki loves Monuments beschäftigt bist, kannst aber vielleicht trotzdem helfen oder meine Reklamation an die passende Stelle weiterleiten. Dieser Tage habe ich zwei Bilder in der gewohnten Weise hochgeladen, doch seit gestern komme ich nur noch bis „Lizenz wählen“; danach bzw. wenn ich angeklickt habe, dass ich das Foto selbst aufgenommen habe, gibt es nur „Zurück“ und kein „Fortfahren“. Viele Grüße -- Lothar Spurzem (talk) 10:25, 27 September 2018 (UTC)

@Spurzem: Ich hab es mal hierhin weitergegeben. Martin Rulsch (WMDE) (talk) 12:03, 27 September 2018 (UTC)

Danke und noch mal herzliche Grüße -- Lothar Spurzem (talk) 12:05, 27 September 2018 (UTC)

Thank you. Still nothing from Italy this year. if you had informed before the final result I could have made a "hopeful post" now it's not going to be as popular but let's try. Are you doing it again next year or it was just a special thing because of the European year initiative?--Alexmar983 (talk) 13:07, 13 February 2019 (UTC)
