Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, JefParker!

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 source is not properly indicated: File:DNC 2016 - Bill Clinton.jpeg

This media may be deleted.

A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:DNC 2016 - Bill Clinton.jpeg, is missing information about where it comes from or who created it, which is needed to verify its copyright status. Please edit the file description and add the missing information, or the file may be deleted. If you created the content yourself, enter {{Own}} as the source. If you did not add a licensing template, you must add one. You may use, for example, {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} or {{Cc-zero}} to release certain rights to your work. If someone else created the content, or if it is based on someone else's work, the source should be the address to the web page where you found it, the name and ISBN of the book you scanned it from, or similar. You should also name the author, provide verifiable information to show that the content is in the public domain or has been published under a free license by its author, and add an appropriate template identifying the public domain or licensing status, if you have not already done so. Warning: Wikimedia Commons takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. Please add the required information for this and other files you have uploaded before adding more files. If you need assistance, please ask at the help desk. Thank you!

Own work — Preceding unsigned comment added by JefParker (talk • contribs) 20:17, 27 July 2016‎ (UTC)

Once you confirmed that you created the photo yourself, I cleaned up the file description for you. Please do the same with your other uploads (assuming they are your own work). Thanks, —LX (talk, contribs) 20:33, 27 July 2016 (UTC)

Thank you so much. Hard to shoot in the moment, upload, and figure out the site all at the same time. Really appreciate any and all help. JefParker (talk) 04:49, 28 July 2016 (UTC)

No worries. Just out of curiosity, which app or site did you use for these uploads? It looks like whatever interface you were using wasn't providing as much guidance as we'd like, and I'd like to find the source of that problem if possible. —LX (talk, contribs) 08:25, 28 July 2016 (UTC)

I've been using my web browser and https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/. Is there something better I could be using? JefParker (talk) 12:01, 28 July 2016 (UTC)

The full desktop site provides more guidance. Most of the mobile interfaces are pretty lacking, unfortunately. —LX (talk, contribs) 12:41, 28 July 2016 (UTC)

Yeah, tough to schlep a laptop into this building if you don't absolutely have to. All the more reason I appreciate all the help from you and the community. JefParker (talk) 20:51, 28 July 2016 (UTC)
