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).

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.

Please avoid nonsense categories as you added for this image. Before you proced categorizing images you urgently need to learn how to categorize useful! -- Ies (talk) 17:55, 12 September 2017 (UTC)

There was nothing wrong with the way I categorized this file. If you have a problem with it, tell me why you think I did something wrong, instead of simply calling the categories I tagged "nonsense." If you think I need to learn something, point me to a resource instead of simply chastising me and reverting my edits. Also, when you reverted, you removed a perfectly fine English translation, so now there is no English description for this file. Instead of simply making wholesale reversions of edits you don't like and throwing out the baby with the bathwater, you desperately need to learn how to act like a helpful human being. Since I practice what I preach, here's some information on how to do that. Dylan38 (talk) 08:42, 13 September 2017 (UTC)

I'm sorry if you feel insulted but there was everything wrong with the way you categorized this file.

• Category:Tombs was wrong because there is no tomb.
• Category:Monuments and memorials was wrong because the entire crypt was already categorized as this (Category:Monuments and memorials in Leer (Ostfriesland), Category:World War I memorials in Lower Saxony, Category:World War II memorials in Lower Saxony) and you only over-categorized it in a single image. Moreover this category for all monuments and memorials in the world is way too general for every certain object.
• Category:German language for everything in the world that has to do with the German language is also way too general and therefore simply nonsense in this certain case.

Sorry, but it's just annoying if there is someone like you tinkering with unuseable and inappropriate categories. Please learn that you have to read and understand the rules first before you contribute. Nobody is responsible for this but you. And there is nobody responsible for teaching you the rules you can easy access yourself if you only want. This is true for Commons and the entire life. Well, here are the categorizing rules: Commons:Categories. You might have noticed another rule: Continue a discussion where it started, not at another user's page. Btw, there are about one hundred thousend images I made and uploaded to Commons without a perfectly fine English translation. I'm certain that nobody will miss this perfectly fine English translation in this very image! -- Ies (talk) 06:29, 14 September 2017 (UTC)

@Ies: Be as annoyed as you want, there's certainly no rule against that. But when you revert legitimate edits simply because you disagree with a couple of categories that I added, that is destructive and not helpful. I don't care how many files you have uploaded without English translations – others can add translations over time. But there was no need to remove a translation that is accurate simply because you disliked the categories I added. You could have just edited the file and removed or changed those categories.

I'm not going to argue with you about the categories themselves. "Crypt" is a synonym for "Tomb," so whether you like it or not, that category was correct. Also, I marked it German language because the image contained *gasp* text in the German language! How irrational of me...

When it comes down to it, this is just a matter of ego on your part. You don't go around correcting other people's "nonsense" categories; you only reverted edits on this page because you happened to upload the image file. Go check out the book I linked to previously and get over yourself.

This is my last response to you on this matter. Dylan38 (talk) 10:50, 14 September 2017 (UTC)

The point is not that I disliked the categories you added. The point is that they were nothing than wrong, unuseful and inappropriate. When you added "Tomb" as synonym for "Crypt" this was wrong and something you seemingly still don't understand: Over-categorizing an image does not comply to the categorizing rules. See Commons:Categories#Over-categorization. Your translation "Here lie the citizens of Leer who died during both World Wars" was wrong as well. It should read "Here commemorate the citizens of Leer the victims of both World Wars" what is a quite different meaning. So I did right when I reverted all your edits. You call your wrong translation a perfectly fine English translation, you get very excited when an edit by you gets reverted, you ignore rules and you refuse further discussions. Who of us is really the one with an ego problem? Think about this. -- Ies (talk) 15:55, 14 September 2017 (UTC)
