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 irc:wikimedia-commons #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}}

Hello, SaveRivers!
Tip: Add categories to your files
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.

Okay, I messaged the author of the File:Dr. Andrew McLain Office & Drug Store Salem Alabama.jpg image - she agreed to relicense it so Wikipedia can use it.
Next time, please make sure the images you upload from Flickr have compatible licenses.

Thank you very much, SaveRivers :) - I am now adding the pictures to the articles WhisperToMe (talk) 23:22, 3 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, WhisperToMe (talk) 15:56, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much for the Opelika pictures!

As for Lee County Schools, I checked again and found that the school district indeed has its human resources and accounting offices at a place addressed as 100 South 6th Street, Opelika, AL. The district shows the mapquest location in this map

  • Do you remember checking to see if this building is 100 South 6th Street? - I can't read the sign on the billboard, but it may not hurt to see if that building is 100 South 6th Street - If you want I could call Lee County Schools and ask at what intersection the accounting/HR office is at

Lee County Schools has its superintendent in a separate building, at 2410 Society Hill Road Opelika, AL 36804. Their mapquest map is here.

I once went out to the Houston suburbs to find a Pakistani consulate along Jones Road. I became surprised when I went up and down Jones Road and couldn't find it! I later found out that it was actually a little bit off of Jones Road, at this location. The good news is I eventually got the photo, and it's on here now :)

More photos?

Hi Rivers! Do you want to do more photo requests?

If so, I have the:

A glass of milk
For your photo contribs, especially NRHP sites. Thanks! :) Ebyabe (talk) 18:48, 28 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

More thanks for photos, and a bit about categories

[edit]

Continued gratitude for taking and uploading pictures of NRHP sites. It's fun seeing these historic places, ain't it? Though also a bit sad, when you run across ones like this old train depot. I've run across more than a few like that in my travels. You take the sad with the good though.

On categories, you needn't add parent categories. For example, if a site is in "Category:National Register of Historic Places in Randolph County, Alabama", it doesn't have to be in "Category:National Register of Historic Places in Alabama" and "Category:National Register of Historic Places" as well. Anyhoo, keep up the good work, and enjoy the travelling. :) --Ebyabe (talk) 01:03, 17 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Photo request: Montgomery Academy

Hi, Rivers! It's been awhile! Is it okay if you photograph en:Montgomery Academy? It is at: 3240 Vaughn Road Montgomery, AL 36106
