First steps tutorial

Our first steps tour and our FAQ 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. You don't need technical skills in order to contribute here. Be bold contributing here and assume good faith for the intentions of others. This is a wiki—it is really easy.

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 (direct access). You can also contact an administrator on their talk page. If you have a specific copyright question, ask at Commons talk:Licensing.

Goodies, tips and tricks
  • Put Babel boxes on your user page so others know what languages you can speak and indicate your graphic abilities.
  • All your uploads are stored in your personal gallery
  • Please sign your name on Talk pages by typing ~~~~
  • Use the CommonSense tool to find good categories for your files (then other people can find them too!)
  • To link to an image page without embedding the image, type: [[:Image:Foo.jpg]], which produces: Image:Foo.jpg
  • If you're copying files from another project, be sure to use the CommonsHelper
Made a mistake?
  • Did you want to rename or move a file? Simply upload the file again and mark the old one like this: {{bad name|correct name}}
  • For more information read the full deletion guidelines
(P.S. Would you like to provide feedback on this message?)

Vandalism

edit

please dont reveret the CIA maps as the CIA clearly recognises (if I may say so) Kosovo (look at the source I gave you), and since you claim that UN doesn't recognise it so it cant be on their maps than according to you it can be on the maps of those who recognise, e.g CIA, European Union (most of it at least, but majority is over minority, right?) and some maps of countries who do recognise, otherwise you will contradict yourself and actually prove that you are vandalising, have a good day --Cradel (talk) 20:50, 15 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

Pleas comment here --Cradel (talk) 17:28, 16 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

Edit warring

edit

Please stop with your edit warring, continuing to do so will result in a block. Try to discuss with the user instead of reverting each other, you don't get anywhere with that but discussing it with the user can. Best regards, --Kanonkas(talk) 13:16, 22 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

Kosovo on maps

edit

I've written out a small proposal on how to treat Kosovo on maps here: Image talk:Continental-Europe-map.png#Kosovo - a solution. I'd like your feedback. Thanks! Hoshie (talk) 11:04, 27 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

Image:EU on kosovo independence.png

edit

Hi,

I have protected this image because of a editwar. Since you worked on this image i would like to hear you opinion about what version should be used. The discussion can be found at Image talk:EU on kosovo independence.png

Thanks, Sterkebaktalk 17:12, 16 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

Blocked

edit

I've blocked you for 3 days because you are making obviously inappropriate image replacements despite past warnings. If you are willing to stop, I'll lift the block early. If you continue after the block, it will simply be extended. It is your choice whether to contribute constructively here - please work with other editors on this issue rather than imposing your own view and thereby destroying the work of others.  — Mike.lifeguard 00:13, 9 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

I hope you blocked User:Turkish Flame as well. As they say, "it takes two to tango". In fact, User:Turkish Flame has reverted more than just me on these maps, as evidenced by his user history [1] --Tocino 06:38, 18 March 2009 (UTC)Reply
No, why? He only reverted files to their initial version. If you can not reach a consense to change the image permanently (you did not even try this) and you like to have different versions on Commons you should upload them under a differnt filename. There is not the "one and only" truth at Commons, Commons provides a lot of maps from all points of view. So there is a place here for your maps and others, but apparently not under the same filename. --Martin H. (talk) 07:02, 18 March 2009 (UTC)Reply
So it's perfectly fine for him to revert multiple users, not just me, 7 different times in just a couple of days? He hasn't made any effort to reach consensus either. --Tocino 07:09, 18 March 2009 (UTC)Reply
No, i can not follow your point. The images i observed, the locator maps, were initially uploaded by him depicting Kosovo as a separated teritory or country. He did not do anything wrong by reverting your uncommented edits. He seems to have some havy problems with copyrights, but thats another concern. --Martin H. (talk) 09:12, 18 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

This media may be deleted.
A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:BlankMap-World.png, is missing information about where it comes from or who created it, which is needed to verify its copyright status. Please edit the file description and add the missing information, or the file may be deleted.

If you created the content yourself, enter {{Own}} as the source. If you did not add a licensing template, you must add one. You may use, for example, {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} or {{Cc-zero}} to release certain rights to your work.

If someone else created the content, or if it is based on someone else's work, the source should be the address to the web page where you found it, the name and ISBN of the book you scanned it from, or similar. You should also name the author, provide verifiable information to show that the content is in the public domain or has been published under a free license by its author, and add an appropriate template identifying the public domain or licensing status, if you have not already done so. Warning: Wikimedia Commons takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

Please add the required information for this and other files you have uploaded before adding more files. If you need assistance, please ask at the help desk. Thank you!
