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. 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).

editSomaliland has seized Widhwidh but were repelled from Buhoodle, I will be updating the map, but I like to wait a bit before adding territorial changes as in Somalia, such territorial changes are often fleeting. Ingoman (talk) 18:33, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

Overwriting existing files
editIt is against Commons policy to overwrite an existing file with a disputed version, as you did repeatedly at File:Venezuela (orthographic projection).svg. Instead, you should simply upload a new version, under a different name. I've done this at File:Venezuela and claims (orthographic projection).svg. It's not our job on Commons to make editorial decisions about which map to use. Those discussions should happen on other projects like Wikipedia. Guanaco (talk) 15:03, 1 November 2017 (UTC)
