User talk:Ryannay

Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, Ryannay!

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.

File:Viper on Final Exit.jpg

File:Viper on Final Exit.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!

Please sign your talk page messages

Hi, I'm JackintheBox – you might remember me from JetPunk with the same username. Just a reminder to sign your message (e.g. of talk pages) by simply adding four tildes (~~~~). This automatically leaves your username and timestamp following your message. Allow me to demonstrate: JackintheBox (talk) 07:13, 6 April 2019 (UTC)

I'm a noob that never uses Wiki but very rarely but okay I'll try. (72.83.176.136 07:49, 6 April 2019 (UTC)) Do you have to be logged in? Ryannay (talk) 07:51, 6 April 2019 (UTC)

You can also sign while logged out, but that produces your IP address instead of your account username. JACKINTHEBOX • ^TALK 15:57, 12 April 2019 (UTC)

Tips: Replying to other users

Just some helpful tips on Wikimedia: when replying to other users on a page other than their own talk page, you can use the Template:Reply to to notify them of your message. For example, to reply to me, use {{ping|JackintheBox}} to produce @JackintheBox: . If replying to multiple users at the same time, you can use {{ping|User1|User2|User3}} to produce @User1, User2, and User3: . Please note that ping is just my preferred word to use; you can replace it with re, reply or reply to (replyto also works), and they would all work the same way. You can also use {{u|JackintheBox}} to produce JackintheBox, without the @ sign or colon (however, this only works for single users, not multiple).

When you reply to another message on a talk page, please add a colon (:) just before your message to indent it. Someone else who replies to your message will place two colons (::) before their message to indent it a bit more, etc. etc. So if you want to reply to a message that already has three colons before it, then you will have to place four colons before your message in response. If the indentation starts to get too deep (e.g. when the previous message has five colons before it), you can outdent your next reply by placing the template {{od|:::::}} before it. (Note that there are five colons in that template, the same number of colons as the comment you are replying to. For instance:
