Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, Rahmo!

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.

Hello! :)

Hello Rahmo! I saw your question on Village Pump and you are more than welcome to participate! You already finished the first step in getting an account on Commons. Commons needs a lot more pictures, so grab your camera and shot! :-))) To get an idea of whats already on Commons, you might want to have a look at this category: Category:Egypt. Please try to upload files using the category system. If you are new to Wikipedia and Commons, you should read about what kind of images and licenses are OK on here. You find some information about Egypt's copyright laws here: Commons:Licensing#Egypt.

If you can't find the right category you might want to create a new one or just ask on Village Pump. You can always leave me a message as well, I'll answer as soon as I am back online.

You could also update your User page and leave some information about your language skills and stuff like that. Most important: Have fun! :-)) --Hedwig in Washington ^(Woof?) 07:18, 2 September 2012 (UTC)
