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).

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?

Tip: Categorizing images

Hello, Kildwyke!

Tip: Add categories to your files

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.

Copyright status: File:Aurora-treasurehouseofwisdom.jpg

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading File:Aurora-treasurehouseofwisdom.jpg. I notice that the file page either doesn't contain enough information about the license or it contains contradictory information about the license, so the copyright status is unclear. If you created this file yourself, then you must provide a valid copyright tag. For example, you can tag it with {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} to release it under the multi-license GFDL plus Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike All-version license or you can tag it with {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. (See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of license tags that you can use.) If you did not create the file yourself or if it is a derivative of another work that is possibly subject to copyright protection, then you must specify where you found it (e.g. usually a link to the web page where you got it), you must provide proof that it has a license that is acceptable for Commons (e.g. usually a link to the terms of use for content from that page), and you must add an appropriate license tag. If you did not create the file yourself and the specific source and license information is not available on the web, you must obtain permission through the VRT system and follow the procedure described there. Note that any unsourced or improperly licensed files will be deleted one week after they have been marked as lacking proper information, as described in criteria for deletion. If you have uploaded other files, please confirm that you have provided the proper information for those files, too. If you have any questions about licenses please ask at Commons:Village pump/Copyright or see our help pages. Thank you.

File:Ibn Umayl The Silvery Water.jpg

Hello Kildwyke, I wonder about the date of your image (you mentioned 1339)? I only know a print version of it from Topkapi Sarayi Ahmet III Library, Istanbul, with an earlier date, dating 608H/1211. (See: M. Ibn Umail: Book of the Explanation of the Symbols. Kitab Hall ar-Rumuz. Psychological Commentary by Theodor Abt, Corpus Alchemicum Arabicum (CALA) 1B, Zurich 2009, p. 16-17.). I would be happy to know about the source for the date you mentioned! - Or should the date be corrected to the one mentioned by Abt? Many thanks in advance for your reply! Sincerely, --BineMaja (talk) 10:54, 2 May 2017 (UTC)

• Thank you. Yes it is a photo taken of that document in Topkapi Sarayi Ahmet III Library, Istanbul. I am sorry the photographer forgot to note the date so we estimated it, I forget now why we chose 1339, maybe the date it was collected for Orhan Gazi ? I will just check it against the other dates on the page and change the date to 608H/1211. Thank you. Kildwyke (talk) 18:04, 2 May 2017 (UTC)

• Thank you for your quick reply! --BineMaja (talk) 10:05, 3 May 2017 (UTC)
