• If this concerns something new, it's probably best to contact me on en.wiki instead: en:User talk:Floquenbeam.

Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, Floquenbeam!

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.

Pepsi joke

No, I'm not joking at all. If the uploader had uploaded it over File:Pepsi logo 2008.svg, that would be vandalism. Uploading it by itself it not. And really, who's gonna take it seriously? Fry1989 ^eh? 02:02, 31 March 2012 (UTC)

I'd forgotten that Commons will keep anything if it's related to a penis. --Floquenbeam (talk) 02:07, 31 March 2012 (UTC)

I have been involved in DRs for numerous penis photos, and countless vagina photos, and other body parts on the side fo deleting it. I don't say "keep" to anything with a dick on it. But for you to call it vandalismwhen it clearly is not, is the real joke here. Fry1989 ^eh? 02:11, 31 March 2012 (UTC)

Please help

Need help on Wikimedia. Thank you in advance. Doorknob 747 (talk) 14:01, 4 May 2015 (UTC)

I think that the following images are considered as vandalism since, they do not show arrows or contain words describing any parts. ( which shows there is no educational purpose intended in uploading the photo. ). This also, counts as pornography, which is not allowed in Wikimedia. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Vagina#/media/File:Human_Vagina.jpg Doorknob 747 (talk) 14:06, 4 May 2015 (UTC)

You can't turn around without seeing rather pointless gratuitous sexual images on Commons, and in any case I am not active on Commons. If I was, based on your recent behavior on English Wikipedia, I would recommend you not be allowed to edit here either, so I guess that's just as well for you. I don't wish any further contact with you, so please don't post here or ping me; I would hate to have to turn off notifications on Commons. --Floquenbeam (talk) 14:16, 4 May 2015 (UTC)

Ok I will not talk with you. Doorknob 747 (talk) 14:33, 4 May 2015 (UTC)

Tagging copyvios

Hi, When tagging copyright violations, please inform the uploader. This is best done using the gagdet. See in your preferences. Regards, Yann (talk) 21:46, 7 January 2016 (UTC)

@Yann: OK, but I'm not clear which gadget you're talking about. I tried to add "QuickDelete" to see what it did, but didn't get any extra tabs. Anyway, thanks for deleting that. --Floquenbeam (talk) 21:53, 7 January 2016 (UTC)

Actually, i see there's a link in the sidebar. But it only works for deletion discussions, right? I don't think I can get that to do a speedy delete nomination? --Floquenbeam (talk) 21:56, 7 January 2016 (UTC)

It should add "Report copyright violation" in the left column. regards, Yann (talk) 22:00, 7 January 2016 (UTC)

Oh. Duh. I was looking at my talk page when previewing, and that only displays the "report copyright violation" link on a file page. Got it, thanks. --Floquenbeam (talk) 22:04, 7 January 2016 (UTC)
