Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, Michael2552!

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.

Sources

Can we talk about the source here or on the picture's talk page rather than repeatedly re-uploading the same image to Wikipedia? Banak (talk) 17:21, 2 October 2015 (UTC)

Of course. Will you please upload the URLs of your most current sources to this talk section? - Michael2552

Gonna cross-post this here from Banak's talk page - I think that in the interest of transparency going forward, it might be best to post the sources you use to update the map directly to the image's talk page in the future. Seems like it'd minimize confusion - I myself couldn't find any of the sources, and commentary on the maps seems scattered across multiple wikis anyway (making it hard to find the latest discussion). 206.223.166.51 19:52, 2 October 2015 (UTC)

Banak, are these the sources to which you were referring? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Cities_and_towns_during_the_Syrian_Civil_War. Assuming they are...Michael2552, Banak's edits are justified and the map should in fact be updated. 206.223.166.51 21:05, 2 October 2015 (UTC)

This discussion appears to have moved to Commons:Administrators'_noticeboard/Blocks_and_protections, though my userpage now contains links to the modules. Banak (talk) 04:15, 4 October 2015 (UTC)

Notice

I believe you should know there is a case in progress against you here. Apparently we're the same person. 206.223.166.51 20:47, 2 October 2015 (UTC)

New vector maps!

Hello! Just wanted to notice that the vector versions of the current civil wars maps ,except Iraq and Syria, has been uploaded. As you may know vector images can take much less size than other types of images (.png) and can be zoomed without quality loss. If you want to make any updates please make sure to apply them on new vector maps .
Thank you!:) Ali Zifan 08:08, 21 February 2016 (UTC)
