Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, Regomaniq!

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.

Some policies

Hi Regomaniq, welcome to Commons.

• File:Hendrick van Balen (I) 001.jpg - You shouldn't have requested a rename here. The user doing the rename made a mistake here. We don't rename to improve file names. You can find the policy at [[Commons:File renaming]
• File:Balen, Hendrick van - Diana Turns Actaeon into a Stag - c. 1605.jpg - Don't overwrite existing files. For artworks it's only acceptable to overwrite if someone uploaded a low resolution version and the same source also provides a high resolution version of the same photo. In this case it's a completely different photo, please uploaded it under a new filename. You can find the policy at Commons:Overwriting existing files

PD-Art

Please read Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag. When uploading an image such as File:Peter Casteels (III) - Still life of flowers in a gilt urn on a stone ledge.jpg, where you obtained an image that is a 'faithful reproduction' of a 2D work of art from a third party source, you should use {{PD-Art}} around the public domain license tag, so as to specifically indicate that US law (and Commons) does not recognize any copyright claim to the photo itself. It's not the 'end of the world' if you do not, but it's a better practice (it also changes how the image is categorized, so we can track such 'claims'). Thanks.
