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.

Bitte nicht überkategorisieren!

Hallo Sven, bitte überkategorisiere Deine Bilder nicht. Die Kategorien, die schon für Category:Burgruine Lobenstein (Oberpfalz) aufgeführt sind, dürfen zu Deinem Bild File:Burgruine Lobenstein01.JPG nicht noch einmal wiederholt werden.

• Category:Burgruine Lobenstein (Oberpfalz): i.O.
• Category:Observation towers: i.O. da ein Unterschied zu anderen Bildern der Ruine.
• Category:Zell (Upper Palatinate): nicht i.O., überkategorisiert, denn so ist schon Category:Burgruine Lobenstein (Oberpfalz) kategorisiert.
• Category:Bayerischer Wald: nicht i.O. und gehört gar nicht hier hin. Da nicht nur der Teil der Ruine, den Dein Bild zeigt, noch die gesamte Ruine, sondern der ganze Ort Zell im Bayerischen Wald liegt, sollte also der Ort und nicht die Ruine oder Dein Bild der Ruine so kategorisiert werden.

Weitere Infos zum Kategorisieren bekommst Du hier: Commons:Categories. Gruß, -- Ies (talk) 18:29, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

Alles klar. Werde ich in Zukunft beherzigen.

Tip: Categorizing images

---

Hello, Sven-121!

Tip: Add categories to your files

Thanks a lot for contributing to the Wikimedia Commons! Here's a tip to make your uploads more useful: Why not add some categories to describe them? This will help more people to find and use them.

Here's how:

1) If you're using the UploadWizard, you can add categories to each file when you describe it. Just click "more options" for the file and add the categories which make sense:

2) You can also pick the file from your list of uploads, edit the file description page, and manually add the category code at the end of the page.

[[Category:Category name]]

For example, if you are uploading a diagram showing the orbits of comets, you add the following code:

[[Category:Astronomical diagrams]]

[[Category:Comets]]

This will make the diagram show up in the categories "Astronomical diagrams" and "Comets".

When picking categories, try to choose a specific category ("Astronomical diagrams") over a generic one ("Illustrations").

Thanks again for your uploads! More information about categorization can be found in Commons:Categories, and don't hesitate to leave a note on the help desk.

Autopatrol given

Hello. I just wanted to let you know that I have granted autopatrol rights to your account; the reason for this is that I believe you are sufficiently trustworthy and experienced to have your contributions automatically marked as "reviewed". This has no effect on your editing, it is simply intended to make it easier for users that are monitoring Recent changes or Recent uploads to find unproductive edits amidst the productive ones like yours. In addition, the Flickr upload feature and an increased number of batch-uploads in UploadWizard, uploading of freely licensed MP3 files, overwriting files uploaded by others and an increased limit for page renames per minute are now available to you. Thank you. INeverCry 19:02, 3 June 2013 (UTC)

Quality Image Promotion

Your image has been reviewed and promoted Congratulations! Lochstein Veldensteiner Forst.jpg, which was produced by you, was reviewed and has now been promoted to Quality Image status. If you would like to nominate another image, please do so at Quality images candidates. We also invite you to take part in the categorization of recently promoted quality images. Comments Can pass as QI. However, for this kind of landscape photography, you should have observed the rule of old school photography: "The sun is bright - aperture eight"; and the branches of the trees were sharper. --Cccefalon 00:31, 29 April 2015 (UTC)

Welcome, Dear Filemover!

---

Hi Sven-121, you're now a filemover. When moving files please respect the following advice:

• Use the CommonsDelinker link in the {{Rename}} template to order a bot to replace all ocurrences of the old title with the new one. Or, if there was no rename-request, please use the Move & Replace-tab.
• Please leave a redirect behind unless you have a valid reason not to do so. Other projects, including those using InstantCommons, might be using the file even though they don't show up in the global usage. Deleting the redirects would break their file references. Please see this section of the file rename guideline for more information.
• Please know and follow the file rename guidelines.

Liste der Naturwaldreservate in Bayern

Hallo Sven-121, in dieser Liste ist das Naturwaldreservat "Mannsberg" erwähnt. Zu diesem Gebiet suche ich ein Foto. Da Du im Dezember 2015 die dortige Karst- und Tropfsteinhöhle Category:Mannsbergloch (A 60) besucht hast, könnte es evt. sein, dass Du auch Fotos von der Umgebung der Höhle gemacht hast, die das Naturwaldreservat zeigen. Ich wäre Dir sehr dankbar, wenn Du mal nachsehen würdest. Herzlichen Gruß --I. Berger (talk) 15:32, 19 August 2017 (UTC)

Hi @I. Berger: , sorry für die späte Antwort: leider hab ich mich völlig auf die Höhle(n) am Mannsberg konzentriert, hab also leider nix vom Wald. Da ich aber noch nicht alle Höhlen dort gefunden habe, bin ich mit Sicherheit noch öfters dort, und werd dabei deine Anfrage im Hinterkopf behalten und ausnahmsweise ein paar Bilder ausserhalb der Höhlen machen ;) Gruß, Sven-121 (talk) 16:17, 6 September 2017 (UTC)

Hallo Sven-121, während der Sommermonate dauert's auch bei mir etwas länger :-). Danke, dass Du bei Deinem nächsten Ausflug auf den Mannsberg auch an das Naturwaldreservat denken willst. Lass' es mich bitte wissen, wenn's soweit ist. Viel Spaß beim weiteren Erkunden der Höhlen. --I. Berger (talk) 12:41, 14 September 2017 (UTC)

Important message for file movers

A community discussion has been closed where the consensus was to grant all file movers the suppressredirect user right. This will allow file movers to not leave behind a redirect when moving files and instead automatically have the original file name deleted. Policy never requires you to suppress the redirect, suppression of redirects is entirely optional.

Possible acceptable uses of this ability:

• To move recently uploaded files with an obvious error in the file name where that error would not be a reasonable redirect. For example: moving "Sheep in a tree.jpg" to "Squirrel in a tree.jpg" when the image does in fact depict a squirrel.
• To perform file name swaps.
• When the original file name contains vandalism. (File renaming criterion #5)

Please note, this ability should be used only in certain circumstances and only if you are absolutely sure that it is not going to break the display of the file on any project. Redirects should never be suppressed if the file is in use on any project. When in doubt, leave a redirect. If you forget to suppress the redirect in case of file name vandalism or you are not fully certain if the original file name is actually vandalism, leave a redirect and tag the redirect for speedy deletion per G2.

The malicious or reckless breaking of file links via the suppressredirect user right is considered an abuse of the file mover right and is grounds for immediate revocation of that right. This message serves as both a notice that you have this right and as an official warning. Questions regarding this right should be directed to administrators. --Majora (talk) 21:36, 7 November 2019 (UTC)

Danke

Hallo Sven, einfach mal Danke für deine unzähligen tollen Fotos von Höhlen. Ich bin wirklich beeindruckt von deiner Arbeit! ich bau grad einige deiner Bilder in den Listen der Bodendenkmäler in Bayern ein. z. B. in Liste der Bodendenkmäler in Hirschbach (Oberpfalz).
