Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, Clovermoss!

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.

Notify uploader

Hello, please notify the uploader when you mark their file for speedy deletion, such at User talk:Wjamcd81. 0x0a (talk) 00:56, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

@0x0a: Oh, okay. I'm used to Twinkle doing it for me automatically on the English Wikipedia and I didn't even think to check. We discussed this on my talk page there so I don't think it would've been that surprising: [1]. Is there a commons equivalent to Twinkle or do I need to leave such messages manually? Clovermoss (talk) 01:13, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

Hi, you can enable the gadget "QuickDelete" at Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-gadgets to mark those file and notify users automatically. The tool will be positioned in the left sidebar of the page. 0x0a (talk) 01:29, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

User:I'm not your i'm ypur empress

I'm not your i'm ypur empress would be unable to edit their userpage because they are globally locked :). I took care of it (and you shouldn't run into the abuse filter again, since I made you autopatrolled.) Best, —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 04:36, 29 August 2024 (UTC)

@Mdaniels5757: Oh, okay, thanks. Clovermoss (talk) 04:39, 29 August 2024 (UTC)

@Mdaniels5757: Thank you for your informative comment over at Commons:Deletion requests/File:Anti-bullying poster at Oshawa Centre.jpg. It got me thinking, the only time I uploaded a file of a sign, it was File:Oakes Park rules sign.jpg. I asked around at the help desk at the time to see if it was okay and they said it probably would be because the text is minimal. But if it's not, I want to be held to the same standards as everyone else. Clovermoss (talk) 22:10, 30 August 2024 (UTC)

I think that sign is fine to upload. The text is mostly composed of a list of things that are not allowed, which does not attract copyright. The remaining text also does not require enough "skill and judgment" in writing to be copyrighted. The city logo may be copyrighted, but if it is, it is probably de minimis. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 02:06, 31 August 2024 (UTC)

@Mdaniels5757: Okay, good to know. I appreciate the second opinion. Clovermoss (talk) 02:07, 31 August 2024 (UTC)
