Welcome!

Hello, and welcome to Wikimedia Commons. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

Currently, you are editing without a username. You can continue to do so, as you are not required to log in to Commons to read and edit pages; however, logging in will result in a username being shown instead of your IP address (yours is 2401:4900:5082:54BE:8571:D722:F8A6:581). Logging in does not require any personal details, and there are many other benefits for logging in, such as:

• Upload images, but please read this first.
• Edit semi-protected pages.
• Have your own watchlist, which shows when pages you are interested in have changed.

When you edit pages:

• Please respect others' copyrights; do not copy and paste the contents from webpages directly.
• If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
• Do not add unreasonable contents into any galleries, such as copyrighted text, advertisement messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Adding such content or editing pages maliciously is considered vandalism.

Also feel free to ask a question on my Talk page. I will answer your questions as far as I can! You are also free to ask a question at the help desk or village pump, you could otherwise add {{Helpme}} on your talk page to ask for help here, and a volunteer should respond shortly. We also have an intuitive guide on editing if you're interested. By the way, please make sure to sign and date your talk page comments with four tildes (~~~~).

Thank you again for contributing to the Commons. Aranya (talk) 13:17, 14 September 2020 (UTC)

Wikimedia Commons has a specific scope

---

Thank you for your contributions. Your image or other content was recently deleted, or will soon be deleted, in accordance with our process and policies, because it was not, or is not, within our scope. Please review our project scope, but in short, Commons is targeted at educational media files including photographs, diagrams, animations, music, spoken text and video clips. The expression “educational” is to be understood according to its broad meaning of “providing knowledge; instructional or informative”. Wikimedia Commons does not contain text articles like encyclopedia articles, textbooks, news, word definitions and such. Each of these other kinds of content have their own projects: Wikipedia, Wikibooks, Wikisource, Wikinews, Wiktionary and Wikiquote. If the content seems to fit the scope of one of those other projects, please consider contributing it there. Otherwise, consider an alternative outlet. If you think that the deletion was in error because the contribution really was in scope, you can appeal it at Commons:Undeletion requests, giving a reason why it fits our scope to help others evaluate the matter. Thank you for your understanding.
