Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, Paradoctor!

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.

Tip: Categorizing images

---

Hello, Paradoctor!

Tip: Add categories to your files

Thanks a lot for contributing to the Wikimedia Commons! Here's a tip to make your uploads more useful: Why not add some categories to describe them? This will help more people to find and use them.

Here's how:

1) If you're using the UploadWizard, you can add categories to each file when you describe it. Just click "more options" for the file and add the categories which make sense:

2) You can also pick the file from your list of uploads, edit the file description page, and manually add the category code at the end of the page.

[[Category:Category name]]

For example, if you are uploading a diagram showing the orbits of comets, you add the following code:

[[Category:Astronomical diagrams]]

[[Category:Comets]]

This will make the diagram show up in the categories "Astronomical diagrams" and "Comets".

When picking categories, try to choose a specific category ("Astronomical diagrams") over a generic one ("Illustrations").

Thanks again for your uploads! More information about categorization can be found in Commons:Categories, and don't hesitate to leave a note on the help desk.

Re: Commons:Deletion requests/Laminate

I was primarily referring to the image captions (which are something that cannot be provided in a category).--Nilfanion (talk) 12:05, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

Ok, thx for the info. Paradoctor (talk) 12:35, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

Be civil

This is not an acceptable language. Please refer to WP:Civil and [1].--Mbz1 (talk) 05:09, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

European Union definition

Hello. While you may disagree with it, the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights has, as its working definition for antisemitism:

“	Antisemitism is a certain perception of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred toward Jews. Rhetorical and physical manifestations of antisemitism are directed toward Jewish or non-Jewish individuals and/or their property, toward Jewish community institutions and religious facilities.	”
—European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights, [2]

Calling it a hoax can be construed an attack or insensitivity by people who have suffered, directly or indirectly, from antisemtism, even if you certainly didn't mean it as such :(. Thank you for understanding. -- Avi (talk) 05:30, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

While I'm here, do you think you could come up with a 'sensitive' alternative that still expresses precisely my opinion about the draft? I you do, I'll gladly use it. I don't think that's possible, but I may not be entirely objective here. ;) Paradoctor (talk) 17:37, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

Reactions

I'm sorry if you feel that I am attacking you, that is not the case. My original intention was to 1) explain the vehemence of MBZ1's reactions and 2) to try and point to the official EU documentation as opposed to an advocacy website. Continuing, I was merely pointing out more recent data for you. I'm not certain why you are so defensive, but, at least from my perspective, you shouldn't be. Sorry. -- Avi (talk) 17:08, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

"attacking": Avi, you really need to be more rude, at least to me. I have no idea why you think that I think you attacked me. There is no problem, nothing to apologize for. Least of all for expressing your opinions.

"vehemence": If you check up her talkpage's history, you'll see that we had a rather pleasant exchange yesterday. Besides, while I do try to understand the people I'm with, it usually influences my arguments only in matters of tactics, and tactics is something I try to avoid.

"defensive": Avi, we two see me in totally different lights. I think I'm argumentative, occasionally bordering on "overly combative".

Regards, Paradoctor (talk) 17:32, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

In that case, I'm glad. As I said, there is enough bad feeling running around that I do not want to be the cause of any more. Thanks for clearing that up. Oh, and I don't intend to be more rude to you or anyone -- Avi (talk) 17:37, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

Thank you

Hi Paradoctor . I'd like to thank you for finding and bringing up The Simon Wiesenthal Center report. Warm regards.--Mbz1 (talk) 16:46, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

I'm only amazed that with all the energy spent on debating the issue, so little of it went into research facts. I admit I spent several hours reading ~150 pages, but that doesn't seem to be much in comparison to the manhours already spent on this controversy. Ah well, whatever the reasons, you're welcome. :) Paradoctor (talk) 16:55, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

Autopatrolled

I've marked your user account to have the autopatrolled user right. If you want to have the "patroller" one instead (useful if you actually want to do edit patrolling), let me know and I can fix it. Killiondude (talk) 22:37, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

Wow, fast work. And thanks for the offer, but I spend too much time on WMF already. ;) Paradoctor (talk) 22:56, 16 March 2010 (UTC)
