Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, Tartanfan!

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.

I am trying to provide images that are not yet available on wiki and Google to improve readers' ability to absorb information. My images always have clear captions and content. However, you deleted them because I filled in a field where you asked for "Source". I'm not allowed to take credit here, am I? Or are only large websites allowed to contribute information and the wiki will never have more useful information added? Answer me what you really want. Tartanfan (talk) 07:24, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

On the other hand, your links are always in nofollow status, it has no effect on SEO. If you think it's too expensive to compensate a contributing author with such a link, confirm it and my community and I will never contribute anything to wikipedia again. Tartanfan (talk) 07:27, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

we're contributing, but we're not even being recognized, it's ridiculous. Tartanfan (talk) 07:28, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

why do you not answer me? Or are you embarrassed because you receive money to place links for others, so our natural attribution links are not allowed? Tartanfan (talk) 01:50, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
