Wikimedia Commons has a specific scope
edit
Thank you for your contributions. Your image or other content was recently deleted, or will soon be deleted, in accordance with our process and policies, because it was not, or is not, within our scope. Please review our project scope, but in short, Commons is targeted at media files including photographs, diagrams, animations, music, spoken text and video clips. Wikimedia Commons does not contain text articles like encyclopedia articles, textbooks, news, word definitions and such. Each of these other kinds of content have their own projects: Wikipedia, Wikibooks, Wikisource, Wikinews, Wiktionary and Wikiquote.
If the content seems to fit the scope of one of those other projects, please consider contributing it there. If you think that the deletion was in error because the contribution really was in scope, you can appeal it at Commons:Undeletion requests, giving a reason why it fits our scope to help others evaluate the matter. Thank you for your understanding. Kanonkas 19:28, 22 April 2008 (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 06:04, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for providing images to Wikimedia Commons. Please keep in mind that images and other files on Commons must be under a free license and should be useful to the Wikimedia projects. To allow others to use your files, some additional information must be given on the description page. Most importantly:
- Describe what it is about in a short sentence. (What does the image show?)
- State the author and the date of creation. If you made it yourself, say so explicitly. If it is from another Wikimedia user, link to the person's local user page. Best to use CommonsHelper.
- If you did not create the file yourself, state the source you got it from.
- Add a copyright tag - images without an appropriate license tag will be deleted.
- Add the image to one or more gallery pages and/or appropriate categories, so it can be found by others. To find out where an image belongs, you can use CommonsSense.
If you copied the file from another wiki, please copy all information given there and say who uploaded it to that wiki. Use CommonsHelper.
It is recommended to use Template:Information to put that information on the description page. Have a look at Template talk:Information for details of the use of this template.
You can edit the description page and change the text. Uploading a new version of the file does not change the description of the file.
Please add as much information as possible. If there is not sufficient information, the file may have to be deleted. For more information, follow the Commons:First steps guide. If you need help or have questions, please ask at the Help desk.
Thank you.

Picture of the Year 2013 R1 Announcement
editThank you for catching the flag color error
editI have reviewed the history of File:Flag of Georgia.svg. Your color correction was completely correct. However, how you handled this was a problem.
- April 9, you uploaded a new version, and the image description you gave was "Change red color to #FF0000". That was correct, but you did not explain why. A simple way to handle this would be to add "See talk" to the explanation, and give the reason on the Talk page. In fact, there was a prior version that had the correct color, and it is possible you could have just restored that. However, there may have been other problems with that version, I have not checked.
- You were reverted. That revert I understand. This was a widely-used image, and, as far as that editor knew, you were changing the color just because #FF0000 is prettier, or something.
- Without finding consensus, you again uploaded your version. You did explain this, but ... this is what you wrote:
- Crosses should be #FF0000 color. See Decree of the President of Georgia No. 31 of 25 January 2004 and welcome to Talk page.
- Please consider how this looked to the other editor: you were insisting you were right. However, your edit refers to File:Brdzanebuleba 31.pdf and the reference to #FF0000 is unintelligible on that page as it displays by default. So he reverted. I think he was not careful enough, and I'll tell him so, but my point is that how you handled this eventually led an administrator to protect the page.
- When you make a change to an image, please try to explain it as thoroughly as necessary to make sure it is understood. It is usually better to explain on Talk first, but it's acceptable to make the change with an explanation.
- If you are reverted, please do not insist and revert without discussion and gaining consensus. Even if you are right.
- There is nothing more you need do at this point. I will wait to see of there is any contrary comment , and, if not, I will request the page be changed under protection. If I have correctly analyzed the situation, you could simply state on the Talk page that you support the change. Because of the history, in fact, this is very obvious. A reference to that history would have helped, the first change might have stuck. It's a good idea to look through image history.
- Once again, thanks for catching this. If I may be of any assistance, please don't hesitate to ask. --Abd (talk) 03:31, 16 April 2015 (UTC)

editHello. I just wanted to let you know that I have granted autopatrol rights to your account; the reason for this is that I believe you are sufficiently trustworthy and experienced to have your contributions automatically marked as "reviewed". This has no effect on your editing, it is simply intended to make it easier for users that are monitoring Recent changes or Recent uploads to find unproductive edits amidst the productive ones like yours. In addition, the Flickr upload feature and an increased number of batch-uploads in UploadWizard, uploading of freely licensed MP3 files, overwriting files uploaded by others and an increased limit for page renames per minute are now available to you. Thank you. --Green Giant (talk) 09:31, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
