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.

Tip: Categorizing images

Hello, Nealmcb!

Tip: Add categories to your files

Thanks a lot for contributing to the Wikimedia Commons! Here's a tip to make your uploads more useful: Why not add some categories to describe them? This will help more people to find and use them.

Here's how:

1) If you're using the UploadWizard, you can add categories to each file when you describe it. Just click "more options" for the file and add the categories which make sense:

2) You can also pick the file from your list of uploads, edit the file description page, and manually add the category code at the end of the page.

[[Category:Category name]]

For example, if you are uploading a diagram showing the orbits of comets, you add the following code:

[[Category:Astronomical diagrams]]

[[Category:Comets]]

This will make the diagram show up in the categories "Astronomical diagrams" and "Comets".

When picking categories, try to choose a specific category ("Astronomical diagrams") over a generic one ("Illustrations").

Thanks again for your uploads! More information about categorization can be found in Commons:Categories, and don't hesitate to leave a note on the help desk.

Suggested rename of World population increase history.svg

I've had to replace your file-rename suggestion on the page File:World population increase history.svg, because I disagreed with it slightly, so I wanted to point people to the discussion on the talk page. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a way of adding another instance of {{Rename}}, or altering the original (or, indeed, making any edit to the page), without losing the attribution to the original editor (you). (In other words, the template is not implemented well, so I made the change in as unobtrusive a way as I could, given the limitations of the template.) - dcljr (talk) 20:23, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

Deviation of day length

Many thanks for your work with the "File:Deviation of day length from SI day.svg" in "Leap Seconds". It would be interesting to see an updated version? Is Earth's spin-rate continuing to speed up? Thanks in anticipation, --DLMcN (talk) 18:31, 18 August 2023 (UTC)

My pleasure! And thanks for the reminder. I just did so. Nealmcb (talk) 22:03, 21 August 2023 (UTC)
