Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, A.D.Hope!

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.

Cropping

Hello from the other site , noticed you're cropping a few images, such as File:Central Pier, Blackpool (Unsplash) (cropped).jpg, you may benefit from installing Commons:CropTool under your preferences-gadgets as it greatly speeds up the process (unless the tool doesn't work on an image every now and then) copying all relevant licensing, it also adds {{Extracted from}} and {{Extracted image}} to help attribution. You could also add {{Retouched picture}} to images you edit as a separate version showing what exactly was changed, although not sure if the template only applies to heavily edited images tbh. Or at least mention what you edited in the edit summary or image description, it is not obvious what just "edited" in the title means compared to the original. Thanks for transferring freely licensed images from Flickr etc though.

Oh hello! Thanks for the heads up on the CropTool, that will save a lot of time. Commons is a different kettle of fish to Wikipedia and I'm sure it's very obvious that I'm still trying to get my head around organising and attributing everything properly (both of which are very important, of course). I'm not doing any heavy editing, mostly just trying to make slightly dull images a bit more vibrant, but there's no harm in using the template to help make it easier to see what I've done. Cheers for taking the time to lend a hand, always appreciated! A.D.Hope (talk) 16:37, 30 July 2023 (UTC)
