User talk:Tangerineduel

Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, Tangerineduel!

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.

Wikimedia Commons does not accept fair use content. We do this because Commons is a shared media repository. Downstream wikis have different policies based on local laws. Uses that are acceptable under US law, for example, may not be acceptable in many other countries with more restrictive rules. In addition, fair use is not compatible with our aim as a collection of freely distributable media files. Therefore, Commons cannot legally rely on fair use provisions. Non-free content that may be used with reference to fair use may be uploaded locally if your project allows this.

Notification about possible deletion

Some contents have been listed at Commons:Deletion requests so that the community can discuss whether they should be kept or not. We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at their entry. If you created these pages, please note that the fact that they have 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 them, 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!

Assigning genders to writers and artists

Hello, I see that you have been assigning gendered categories to writers and artists who were previously listed in ungendered categories. It seems to me that this could possibly offend the people concerned, since gender is a very emotionally charged issue. Is doing this something that you decided to do by yourself, or was it a decision that resulted from discussion with other editors? Could you please let me know of any pages where it was discussed. Sincerely, Nadiatalent (talk) 08:13, 21 October 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for responding. It does seem to be a matter that is handled individually by different editors. There is some discussion at Commons talk:Category scheme People, including one person saying that they think splitting categories into 2 is undesirable. Perhaps there will be a policy decision about this some day, but I can't see one now ... Nadiatalent (talk) 09:39, 21 October 2021 (UTC)

Thank you again for responding. Nadiatalent (talk) 22:06, 21 October 2021 (UTC)

Dear Wikimedian,

You are receiving this message because we noticed that you voted in Round 1 of the 2022 Picture of the Year contest, but not yet in the second round.

In this second and final round, you may vote for a maximum of three images. The image with the most votes will become the Picture of the Year 2022.

Tardis Wiki

Hi there Tangerine,

Sorry for having to contact you this way, but Fandom has certain rules that made it impossible to inform you on wiki. Just wanted to let you know that Tardis Wiki has moved to a new host, https://tardis.wiki, due to Fandom's introduction of more and more intrusive ads and involuntary features, which have made the site inaccessible to most of our readers. The majority of our regular editors seem to have moved over, but we're still hoping to see you, one of the most senior admins there.

Best wishes, Aquanafrahudy (talk) 12:06, 27 February 2024 (UTC)

Yes, I'm certainly feeling your absence, TD, since there aren't too many of the "old guard" still kicking around in general.

Hope all is well, in any case. So you know, the door is always open.
