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. 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).

Hi Grunnen, renaming (moving) files is disabled again on Commons and other Wikipedia projects because of some problems. Please reupload the file with the basic uploadform, simply c&p the imagedescription. Mark the bad named file with {{badname|Nl-schemeren.ogg}}. Another way is to use {{Rename}}, then a bot will do the reupload after a trusted user approved the rename, but this takes some weeks, creates work and creates a mess at the imagepage. --Martin H.

- Thanks, but please select a license. For your recording you gain copyright, you can (ok, for Commons must, but its your choice) select a free license. A free license allows everyone to reuse your work for every purpose. Commons has many licenses, the most common is multilicensing with GFDL and cc-by-sa-3.0. If you want to release your work under this license please place
- {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-3.0}}
- On the description page.
- However, if you want to release your work into the public domain please use
- {{PD-self}}
- In case you have any questions please aks. I can only recommend the above licenses, a collection of licenses can be found in Commons:License tags. --Martin H. (talk) 22:50, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
- Already done, ok :) --Martin H. (talk) 22:53, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
Tip: Categorizing images[edit]
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.BotMultichillT 05:55, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
