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.

Ganz verstehe ich dich nicht..

• Es ist eher unerwünscht, dass man mit einer Sockenpuppe an QI oder FP teilnimmt
• Was hältst du davon, dass du es insgesamt etwas langsamer angehst?
• Es wäre sehr nützlich, wenn du deine Exif-Infos nicht verschleierst.

Viel Freude noch, aber bitte mit offenem Visier. --Hubertl 04:31, 15 August 2016 (UTC)

How to alert other editors

When someone is posting on your talk page you get an automatic notification. That notification is a small sign followed by a long yellow box at the top of your page (for most browsers and settings). In all other cases you have to alert the other editor in some way, either by "ping" or by mentioning them in a link. This will result in just the notification sign on top of that user's page. So even if you respond on your talk page you still have to alert the editor you are addressing. If you want to get hold of me you write {{ping|W.carter}} resulting in @W.carter: or [[User:W.carter|W.carter]] resulting in W.carter and sign with the four "squiggles" ~~~~ at the end and hit "Save". There are some more, but these are the basics. And when you ask something on someone's talk page, you also create a new section so your question don't get entangled in some other conversation. If you are having a conversation with another user on some page, it is also customary to add that page to your Watchlist in case someone in the discussion forgets to alert.

The policy is to leave an answer on the same page as the question, keep the conversation intact unless there is some reason for moving it elsewhere. If there is something you don't understand you can always ask me. On the English Wikipedia, I'm one of the editors who help newcommers find their way around the site. w.carter-Talk 13:14, 15 August 2016 (UTC)

Comments Too much of the clouds are blown out. W.carter 18:45, 14 August 2016 (UTC) Thanks, I updated the exposure in the left-top. Keep in mind a lot of close-to-white pixels reside there, but that was the nature of the scene. --Soloneying 19:45, 14 August 2016 (UTC) Ok, that takes the pic over the threshold for QI. Even if it was the nature of the scene that does not mean anything when judging the result. If the clouds are blown, they are blown and that's not QI. And could you please provide a geo tag so that we know where on the castle the picture was taken. W.carter 21:30, 14 August 2016 (UTC)

But it could really do with some more categories, like what kind of window and maybe the paintings on the wall. W.carter 21:33, 14 August 2016 (UTC)
