Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, BrandonBigheart!

First steps tutorial Our first steps tour and our frequently asked questions 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 (Wikimedia Commons only accepts free content). 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. 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 (webchat). You can also contact an administrator on their talk page. If you have a specific copyright question, ask at the copyright village pump.

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? Tag it as {{speedy|reason here}}. For more information read the deletion guidelines.

User rights

You now have rollbacker, confirmed user and file mover rights. PumpkinSky talk 15:31, 12 June 2013 (UTC)

Thanks very much. I think this will help with image file management. --15:39, 12 June 2013 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by BrandonBigheart (talk • contribs)

Odder removed your rights. Please see User_talk:PumpkinSky#BrandonBigheart. If you wish to have these rights restored, please try requesting them back at Commons:Requests_for_rights. --Michaeldsuarez (talk) 01:54, 18 June 2013 (UTC)

Discussion affecting you

This is to notify you of a discussion at Commons:Administrators'_noticeboard#User_rights_of_User:BrandonBigheart that affects you. PumpkinSky talk 20:29, 18 June 2013 (UTC)

Sorry

Hi BrandonBigheart,
I am just another admin on Commons and I want to say Sorry for the somewhat bad welcome you have got, though you hadn't done anything wrong. No doubt, PumpkinSky meant well, but did not really follow our policy about advanced user-rights. You are already auto-confirmed, which is more than a mere starter. As has been explained by Russavia, currently we are a bit hesitant with file-mover rights as this has quite some "potential" and because CommonsDelinker is down since weeks. Though I wasn't involved, I regret the unnecessarily heated discussion on PumpkinSky's talkpage. This has nothing to do with you. Tensions on Commons are a bit too high in the moment, probably due to ongoing interwiki conflicts, recent unwarranted attacks on our most trusted volunteers and some of us are simply overworked. Again sorry, and happy editing/uploading. --Túrelio (talk) 20:59, 18 June 2013 (UTC)

+1. Take it light. Sometimes we are like rats in the hands of cats, while dealing with some so called admins. JKadavoor Jee 13:04, 19 June 2013 (UTC)

Thank you both. I'm not offended by the actions of odder. Every part of life has people like him. I'm happy to be here and able to help out with the projects I can improve. As I said in another page, this is the first person I have encountered of this type on the wiki. I chalk it up to a "goderator" complex. Some people wield power to do good; others wield power to satiate some psychological need. Cheers. --BrandonBigheart (TALK) 13:16, 19 June 2013 (UTC)
