Welcome!

Hello, Pepijntje~commonswiki, and welcome to Wikimedia Commons. I hope you like it here and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

• First steps - will tell you everything you need to know about how to upload, what licenses are OK and what information to include in your image summary
• Babel guide - Commons is truly international, here's how to handle some multilingual issues
• Commons FAQ - has some answers to common Commons questions
• The Community Portal - help us organise and improve our files
• A Gallery of your images - please correct any that are untagged or orphans (put them in a category)

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Commoner! If you haven't already done so, you might also want to open an account on a Wikipedia in your preferred language, or one of the other Wikimedia projects. Please be sure to sign your name on Talk and vote pages using four tildes (~~~~) to produce your name and the current date. If you have any questions, drop a note on the village pump, the Help desk, or contact an administrator. I look forward to your contributions!

Hello, Pepijntje~commonswiki!

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.

Bedankt voor het uploaden van alle fotos van oa Utrecht en Dordrecht. Zou u de fotos een categorie mee willen geven door onder de foto bijvoorbeeld [[Category:Dordrecht]] toe te voegen? Hierdoor worden de fotos ingedeeld in categorieën, waardoor ze beter gevonden en gebruikt kunnen worden. Alvast bedankt.Deadstar 11:29, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Hello Pepijntje~commonswiki!

Thank you for providing images to Wikimedia Commons. Please keep in mind that images uploaded to Commons should be useful to all users of Wikimedia projects. This is possible only if the images can be found by other people.

To allow others to find the images you uploaded here, the images should be in some place that can be found by navigating the category structure. This means that you should put the images into appropriate topic pages, categories, optionally galleries, or both of them (see Commons:Categories). To find good categories for your images, the CommonSense tool may help.

You can find a convenient overview of your uploaded files in this gallery.

The important point is that the images should be placed in the general structure somewhere. There are a large number of completely unsorted images on Commons right now. If you would like to help to place some of those images where they can be found, please do!

Thank you. BotMultichill (talk) 12:58, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

Luidklokken Utrecht (Schema)

Hello!

You made a great scheme from the bells in Utrechter Domtoren! But you should change – if it is possible – bell 7 with bell 8. Bell 8 is Agnes minor; you can see that in that video I made in the belltower: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8zmPV7YxB0. No. 8 (eis'), No. 10 (gis') and No. 11 (ais') are ringing there. Agnes minor (8) is ringing behind Magdalena while Salvator could be seen on the left side. Agnes maior (7) is hanging on the other side to Magdalena. I hope you could understand me. Thanks and greetings from Cologne. —Andreasdziewior (talk) 07:58, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

File:Meester uit Utrecht.jpg

 

Pay attention to licensing

Wikimedia Commons only accepts free content: images and other media files that can be used by anyone, for any purpose. File:Meester uit Utrecht.jpg seems to be free (or it would be proposed for deletion), but it was identified as having a wrong license. Usually, it is because a public domain image is tagged with a free license, or because the stated source or other information is not sufficient to prove the selected tag is correct. Please verify that you applied the correct license tag for this file. If you believe this file has the correct license, please explain why on the file discussion page.

To be more precise, I find it hard to believe that this work is entirely your own. It seems to be a detail of a (probably PD) work. Qwertyus (talk) 14:44, 13 February 2014 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed

Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Pepijntje. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Pepijntje~commonswiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation

Renamed

This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can log in using your previous username and password for more information. If you do not like this account's new name, you can choose your own using this form after logging in: Special:GlobalRenameRequest. -- Keegan (WMF) (talk)

File:Mariakerk Utrecht.jpg

File:Mariakerk Utrecht.jpg has been listed at Commons:Deletion requests so that the community can discuss whether it should be kept or not. We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at its entry. If you created this file, please note that the fact that it has been proposed for deletion does not necessarily mean that we do not value your kind contribution. It simply means that one person believes that there is some specific problem with it, such as a copyright issue. Please see Commons:But it's my own work! for a guide on how to address these issues. Please remember to respond to and – if appropriate – contradict the arguments supporting deletion. Arguments which focus on the nominator will not affect the result of the nomination. Thank you!
