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.

Re: How to retire my contribution?

Hi Henriku! If I understand your request correctly, you would like to see your pictures deleted, right? Usually, putting media on Commons is irrevocable but we sometimes make an exception as a courtesy. First, it depends on your reason for such a request. It also depends on whether the file is used or not, and whether a replacement image exists. Unfortunately File:Nathan Shaham in Beit Alfa.jpg is used on the Hebrew WP and File:Israeli writer Amos Kenan in his apartment in Tel Aviv, November 2000.jpg is subject to a derived work (File:Amos Kenan, November 2000.JPG) which is also used on the Hebrew WP. Moreover both files have no replacement candidates, therefore I highly doubt your request would be fullfilled. May I know why you would want to see these files deleted? (you can answer in French if you are more comfortable with it) — Xavier, 23:41, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
