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?

Tip: Categorizing images

---

Hello, Pratyeka!

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.

Re-uploading major changes in a picture as a new version, not overwriting it

Hello, I see you had made a major change and replaced the original file of File:Buddha_Seguntang_Palembang.jpg, File:Avalokiteshvara_Srivijaya_Art_Chaiya.JPG, and File:Maitreya_Komering_Srivijaya_Side.JPG. It was a major change that remove the detail, background and color. So I have to undo it. If you wish to make a huge change by cropping, removing background, or removing colors, please reupload the new version in a different name, thus not overwriting the original file. I reupload your works (removing color or background) in differnt names. Next time, if you made a huge change of other's works, please reupload it in different name. For example File:Buddha_Seguntang_Palembang_(grayscale).jpg, File:Avalokiteshvara_Srivijaya_Art_Chaiya_(background_removed).jpg, and File:Maitreya Komering Srivijaya Side (background removed).jpg. Gunkarta (talk) 20:27, 19 November 2017 (UTC)

• Sorry, what's the point in keeping a noisy background? Pratyeka (talk) 02:31, 20 November 2017 (UTC)

Thank you for cropping the background and providing grayscale version. However, keeping the original file is a wise dicision and a good idea. Not all people need the cropped or grayscale one as the one you had made. Maybe some people need the color version, so by overwriting it will deprive others to access the original version. The improvement deserved to be overwrite upon the original file is minimal edit one (improved contrast, sharpen or saturation). Any major changes (color removal, cropping, removing background) should be re-upload in another version as the example I've provide you.Gunkarta (talk) 12:26, 20 November 2017 (UTC)

• 1. First of all, nothing is deleted, old versions always remain, nobody is "deprived access".
  2. Regarding colors, in the one desaturated image, there was no actual color data there, it is just a yellow color cast. That's why I made it black and white, and increased the contrast. If you look carefully, you will see that the resulting file is clearer (more easily visible detail) and also smaller. Therefore, I do not understand why keeping the color has any point.
  3. Removing the background increases clarity and reduces file size. It takes a lot of time to do and you have wasted all of this time I invested to improve the experience for users.

Amazing. So a public notice which threatens the individuals has been deleted for copyright violation? I don't know who you are but you are not editing in the public interest. Nationalism has no place on Wikipedia. I will be making a complaint about this. Pratyeka (talk) 22:20, 17 October 2022 (UTC)
