Several times I successfully obtained free licenses for images at Flickr for reuse at Wikimedia. This is a pretty difficult procedure.

Some images are sketches for software development, and are used either in documentation or in discussions at talk pages. I create these images using 'scrot' software for screenshots, and 'gimp' for drawing the sketches. These two wonderful tools are free, and run on Debian GNU/Linux platform. |

I am happy to not make maps anymore. For a few years now, the Kartographer extension is a powerful way to create them. It uses data from OpenStreetMap. Previously I found the {{tl|ODbL OpenStreetMap}} template useful for maps, and also {{tl|OpenStreetMap}}, {{tl|Map}}. But now they are not needed as much because not so many maps are uploaded. |

I like uploading images for Wikipedia, Wikinews, and Wikibooks. I like to ask photographers to release their work under a free licence.
I uploaded screenshots of maps before, but now I prefer to use Kartographer.
For re-uploading Flickr images, Flickr2Commons appears to do a good job. Thanks to Magnus Manske for writing and maintaining this useful tool.
I also own a second account, which I made to test the fact that newly registered users can upload straight away; I may continue to use that account for technical reasons such as to view the default settings for the Commons site that were active at the time of registration.
Instant save button script
[edit]- Copy code from this page to Special:MyPage/js/addInstantSaveToCodeEditor.js on the target wiki
- Add
importScript('User:YourAccountName/js/addInstantSaveToCodeEditor.js');to Special:MyPage/common.js, replacing YourAccountName with your username.
