Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, Msadler13!

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.

Astronomy images

Hi there. Thanks for contributing your spectacular astronomy images these fascinating images like these!

You opted to release them here with a CC BY-SA 4.0 license, but it looks like some of them have already been published elsewhere (for example, the eclipse image is also here). Since first publication is important for copyright purposes, and because all rights are reserved by default, Commons requires additional verification to confirm that the uploader is, in fact, the copyright owner, and that you consent to release the images with that CC license.

One way to do this would be to mark the images as CC BY on your website in some manner. These instructions can help with that. Since it's not clear whether you have control of the sites they appear in, the other way would be to go through this release generator, which will bring you through a series of steps and present some email text for you to send in to our volunteer team who deals with licensing issues. It will eventually be attached to the files on the back end. You can read more at COM:OTRS. As the judging process for the science competition is underway, please let me know ASAP if this is something you'll be able to address. Thanks again. — Rhododendrites ^talk |  01:36, 11 December 2017 (UTC)

Hi Michael. It looks like the eclipse image was tagged as having been released via email. Thanks! It does not look like the other images you uploaded were released at the same time. That may have been intentional, but I'm leaving this message to ensure it wasn't an oversight or just a delay due to them being released via a separate email. Thanks. — Rhododendrites ^talk |  18:42, 20 December 2017 (UTC)

Wiki Science Competition 2019

Logo for Wiki Science Competition

Dear uploader of European Science Photo Competition 2015 and Wiki Science Competition 2017, we would like to remind you that Wiki Science Competition 2019 has started in the whole world. It is now completed in Russia (active in May), Ukraine and France (active during November), but it's still open in all the other countries.

If you want to take part where WSC2019 is still open, please consult this page. Only some national categories are associated to competitions with local prizes.

If you are an expert user, please consider that images uploaded within the deadline can be included in any case in their national category even if not uploaded with the main interface.

Please keep in mind that there is a new category this year, i.e. "nature and wildlife".

If you already took part in a country that has completed its upload phase, please consider improving the description in English of your files (click on the edit button), since such description is what the international jury will use to evaluate them. World finalists will be finalized after March 2020.

Sorry for bothering you and have a nice wiki.
