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.

Copyright status: File:Louis Sextius de Jarente.jpg

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading File:Louis Sextius de Jarente.jpg. I notice that the file page either doesn't contain enough information about the license or it contains contradictory information about the license, so the copyright status is unclear. If you created this file yourself, then you must provide a valid copyright tag. For example, you can tag it with {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} to release it under the multi-license GFDL plus Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike All-version license or you can tag it with {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. (See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of license tags that you can use.) If you did not create the file yourself or if it is a derivative of another work that is possibly subject to copyright protection, then you must specify where you found it (e.g. usually a link to the web page where you got it), you must provide proof that it has a license that is acceptable for Commons (e.g. usually a link to the terms of use for content from that page), and you must add an appropriate license tag. If you did not create the file yourself and the specific source and license information is not available on the web, you must obtain permission through the VRT system and follow the procedure described there. Note that any unsourced or improperly licensed files will be deleted one week after they have been marked as lacking proper information, as described in criteria for deletion. If you have uploaded other files, please confirm that you have provided the proper information for those files, too. If you have any questions about licenses please ask at Commons:Village pump/Copyright or see our help pages. Thank you.

Bonjour

Bonjour, beau travail héraldique, en revanche il est de bon ton de citer parmis les sources les auteurs chez qui ont a emprunté tel ou tel éléments. Par exemple sur ce dessin : , le réel auteur des deux hallebardes en arrière plan c'est moi, le bandeau de la devise et les pennons c'est Sodacan et les aigles des supports c'est Katepanomegas. Comme je vois que tu ne fais pas des dessins pour wikipedia depuis longtemps je vais faire directement la modification pour toi sur celui ci et pour ceux qui me concernent (notamment pour les ornements ecclésiastiques). Pour information tu as du remarquer le temps que prenez le dessin de blason, je ne parle même pas de la création de meubles ou d'ornements, donc la moindre des choses est d'indiquer l'auteur originel de l'élément. Bien cordialement et en te souhaitant bonne chance pourla réalisation de tes futurs dessins. Mathieu C. (talk) 14:51, 13 March 2013 (UTC)

PS : n'oublie pas de mettre une catégorie a tes dessins (par exemple : SVG coat of arms of France). Et un conseil supplémentaire, dans inkscape une fois que tu as terminé ton dessin, deux choses à faire, la première cliquer sur nettoyer les def (dans l'onglet fichier), ensuite aller dans l'onglet fichier, section "propriété du document" et cliquer sur "redimmensionner la page au contenu ...", puis sur "ajuster la page au dessin ou a la selection". Cela te permettra d'avoir un dessin sans marge autour.
