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.

File:H.H. Baselios Marthoma Mathews III.jpg

Hello! One of your images, File:H.H. Baselios Marthoma Mathews III.jpg, appears to have been uploaded almost simultaneously with this Facebook post. While typically this would result in a copyright violation deletion, I noticed your image does not have a watermark while the image on Facebook does. If you are a professional photographer working for the MOSC, please disclose this through the appropriate templates and provide clearer copyright information in your descriptions. Otherwise, images that you have the right to upload to the Commons may be errantly tagged for deletion. I will not be tagging any other images that overlap with those of this Facebook page until you reply or a week has elapsed, as I believe you are not behaving in any improper way; your images just need more verification information. If these are your photos, thank you for your high-quality images! ~ Pbritti (talk) 16:17, 21 October 2022 (UTC)
