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?

About categories

Hello. Apparently you're not totally aware of how Wikimedia Commons works. Categories can also concerns themes. For instance, File:Demonstration against Mugabe.JPG doesn't show Robert Mugabe but this picture deals with him, it shows an aspect of Mugabe as a theme. But of course you can also create new subcategories, for instance Category:Demonstrations and protests against Robert Mugabe (as for Category:Demonstrations and protests against Vladimir Putin) or Category:Places named after Robert Mugabe (as for Category:Places named after Nelson Mandela). But don't forget something : when you add a category that doesn't exist yet, create it ! Indeed, it was a good idea to add Category:Evo Morales in art instead of Category:Evo Morales for File:Evo Morales Homage by David Shankbone.jpg but you forgot to create it ! --TwoWings * to talk or not to talk... 09:27, 24 August 2017 (UTC)

@TwoWings: Thanks for pointing me out to my error. I've just missed it.--Alexander Hug (talk) 14:15, 27 August 2017 (UTC)

And you repeated the same mistake by forgetting to create Category:Places named after Robert Mugabe... --TwoWings * to talk or not to talk... 14:41, 27 August 2017 (UTC)

And now, why are you removing Category:Baskets from many files where we clearly seen one or several baskets ?! --TwoWings * to talk or not to talk... 16:19, 27 August 2017 (UTC)

Tephritis neesii -distribution map

Hello, you wrote on File:Tephritis neesii.svg that it is an inaccurate distribution map. But according to Fauna europaea, the file is correct. Could you give me your source? Thanks in advance. ----Abalg (talk) 19:30, 28 October 2018 (UTC)
