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.

Commons:Overwriting existing files

Hi. You recently overwrote a series of images like File:PR tertiary 301.svg. The guidance at the link would indicate that is not the way to update images where they significantly differ from the originals.  — billinghurst sDrewth 05:06, 21 May 2019 (UTC)

@Billinghurst: Hi! I apologize for the changes I made. The reason why I made those changes was because I currently want the files named PR_tertiary to be renamed to Ellipse_sign because the tertiary shields of Puerto Rico use the same design as the generic state shield of the United States. In this PDF of the DTOP (2003-2004) the tertiary shield is shown in a circular form and in this other PDF (2009) that same shield is shown in the elliptical form. Both versions exist today in Puerto Rico because the first generation of these shields was small and then the wide version came.

During the past days I noticed that Fredddie changed the PR_tertiary file name to Ellipse_sign, but long before that, I replaced the circular versions with the elliptical ones to adjust them to the version of the second PDF (2009). In that sense, there is no need to duplicate the shields that have the same functions to identify the roads of Puerto Rico. If you look at this discussion on the Wikipedia talk:WikiProject U.S. Roads, you'll see that the changes I made can be considered valid for such purposes. Yarfpr (talk) 15:04, 21 May 2019 (UTC)
