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. 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. |

Technical tip[edit]
If you're planning to extract more images from the old newspaper scans at Chronicling America, you might be interested in the methodology I worked out, which allows the extraction of larger, higher-resolution versions. DS (talk) 21:47, 31 December 2022 (UTC)
- @DragonflySixtyseven - Thank you for your suggested method for old newspaper scans. I have not tried it yet, but I appreciate you reaching out to help me create better quality files. -- Ooligan (talk) 23:29, 4 March 2023 (UTC)
Flickr2Commons[edit]
I have just come across a few images you have recently uploaded from Flickr. I would appreciate it if in the future, you used the Flickr2Commons tool. This tool allows images to be moved to Commons from Flickr without having to download the images to your own computer. It also brings in the largest resolution of the image, as well making sure to list the correct license and url, making it easy for the automated Flickr Review system. Also, it is fairly easy to categorize images with this tool. To use it, you just need to go to the url and authorize it (where it says "authorise first").--A1Cafel (talk) 07:01, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
- Seconding this, please use Flickr2Commons so we can avoid duplicates.
- Upload Wizard sets the filename as "File:Secretary Blinken meets with women leaders.jpg" and Flickr2Commons names uploads as "File:Secretary Blinken Meets with Women Leaders (52722970067).jpg" with the image id.
- This leads to duplicates and then an admin, Túrelio in this case, has to go and set up a redirect.
- It would be great if we can avoid the extra work. Thank you! // sikander { talk } 🦖 22:25, 4 March 2023 (UTC)
- Is there any problems of using COM:F2C? You seem to ignore this message. --A1Cafel (talk) 07:43, 29 March 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Secretary Blinken Arrives in New York City.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.

"Actor"[edit]
Any basis for this? I cannot find any reference to him as an actor; according to [1] he was a tenor, mainly as a concert performer though sometimes in operas. Anyway, I'm making a category for him: Category:Theo Karle. If there is some basis for "actor" I'd like to know. - Jmabel ! talk 05:17, 8 March 2023 (UTC)
- A great tenor. His work on early Television was apparently singing, not acting. Thanks for not including that category in his new category. -- Ooligan (talk) 05:39, 8 March 2023 (UTC)

Round 1 of Picture of the Year 2022 voting is open![edit]
Read this message in your language
Dear Wikimedian,
Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the 2022 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year will be the seventeenth edition of the annual Wikimedia Commons photo competition, which recognizes exceptional contributions by users on Wikimedia Commons. Wikimedia users are invited to vote for their favorite images featured on Commons during the last year (2022) to produce a single Picture of the Year.
Hundreds of images that have been rated Featured Pictures by the international Wikimedia Commons community in the past year are all entered in this competition. These images include professional animal and plant shots, breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historical images, photographs portraying the world's best architecture, impressive human portraits, and so much more.
For your convenience, we have sorted the images into topical categories. Two rounds of voting will be held: In the first round, you may vote for as many images as you like. The top 30 overall and the two most popular images in each category will continue to the final. In the final round, you may vote for just three images to become the Picture of the Year.
Round 1 will end on UTC.
Thanks,
the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee
You are receiving this message because you voted in the 2021 Picture of the Year contest.

- @A1Cafel, I mean, it’s not a policy to upload through flickr2commons (AFAIAC), but certainly that would make others’ work easier. By the way, I came here to kindly ask Ooligan to categorize properly the files he uploaded portraiting Lula da Silva, if possible, as the versions I had uploaded and categorized were simply redirected by @Túrelio.
- Now everything is only located here, an inappropriate category, I’d say. Now there are some empty categories like Category:Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and Narendra Modi or Category:Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and Phạm Minh Chính.
- Sincerely, RodRabelo7 (talk) 03:28, 23 May 2023 (UTC)
- I know, but at least a simple response should be given, either yes or no are fine. I concur with the poor categorization by the user. It takes efforts for others to fix it. --A1Cafel (talk) 03:35, 23 May 2023 (UTC)

Flickr2Commons[edit]
I have just come across a few images you have recently uploaded from Flickr. I would appreciate it if in the future, you used the Flickr2Commons tool. This tool allows images to be moved to Commons from Flickr without having to download the images to your own computer. It also brings in the largest resolution of the image, as well making sure to list the correct license and url, making it easy for the automated Flickr Review system. Also, it is fairly easy to categorize images with this tool. To use it, you just need to go to the url and authorize it (where it says "authorise first"). Elisfkc (talk) 21:13, 19 June 2023 (UTC)
- @Elisfkc: Users already notified by two others about COM:F2C, so it is unnecessary to say this once more. --A1Cafel (talk) 15:10, 30 June 2023 (UTC)
Welcome, Dear Filemover![edit]
Hi Ooligan, you're now a filemover. When moving files please respect the following advice:
- Use the CommonsDelinker link in the {{Rename}} template to order a bot to replace all ocurrences of the old title with the new one. Or, if there was no rename-request, please use the Move & Replace-tab.
- Please leave a redirect behind unless you have a valid reason not to do so. Other projects, including those using InstantCommons, might be using the file even though they don't show up in the global usage. Deleting the redirects would break their file references. Please see this section of the file rename guideline for more information.
- Please know and follow the file rename guidelines.

What is your basis for presuming this is Jack Ackroyd in this 1920 stage production of The Better 'Ole? Not specifically saying you are wrong, but the newspaper page does not name him. Yes, he was in the film six years later. Do you have anything more than that? - Jmabel ! talk 21:56, 6 November 2023 (UTC)
- @Jmabel, I thought you might say hello!
- I found this little nugget tying the play and its actors to the later film by the same name. From an article by Wilbur W. Hendley in The Spokesman Review, dated 13 Apr 1919, Sunday on Page 37 via Newspapers.com
- Here: https://www.newspapers.com/image/568379615/?terms=%22The%20Better%20%27Ole%22%20play&match=1
- Quote = "The picture is made by the same cast that produced the play originally in England." Ooligan (talk) 22:29, 6 November 2023 (UTC)
- I can't see that without paying, but does that give reason to think that was who toured it in the U.S. in 1920? - Jmabel ! talk 22:30, 6 November 2023 (UTC)
- Oh, wait 1919. So was there a 1919 film as well as the one in 1926? - Jmabel ! talk 22:31, 6 November 2023 (UTC)
- @Jmabel, Also,
- Jack Ackroyd in the ad for the 1926 film looks very similar to the photo that appears in The Town Crier of April 1919. -- Ooligan (talk) 23:02, 6 November 2023 (UTC)

Holding category[edit]
Hi there, have you thought of using a holding category like Category:Holding for Elisfkc to tag images that need to be categorized and updated? For example File:Daiga Mieriņa tiekas ar Ķīnas vēstnieku - 53377430693.jpg and a bunch more I noticed that need additional work. Also, the language specified for the description is incorrect and that needs fixing too. Thoughts? // sikander { talk } 🦖 02:15, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
- @Sikander, you have not been on my talk page since you joined with A1Cafel in advocating for me to adopt the seriously flawed Flickr2Commons (F2C) tool. I still use "Upload Wizard," which is not perfect, but is much better at avoiding creating "duplicate" uploads, than the F2C.
- Thanks for your observations. The file you mentioned was uploaded about 1/2 day ago. I will add more categories in the coming days.
- Have you really looked at the contents in "Holding for Elisfkc" category? I checked all of the 66 files there. All these files were added to that "holding category" in 2019 or some even earlier- in 2017. They have been holding for years. I have even added categories to some of those files in the recent past as have other volunteers. Your example holding category shows it is not a substitute for just adding more categories, however thank you for your suggestion.
- I will update the specified language description on those Latvian files. Thanks, --Ooligan (talk) 04:02, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
- Ah, right! Infact I think it was Elisfkc who first pointed me to Flickr2Commons for easy uploads. The tool has issues, definitely, and fortunately good people are working on a new version: Commons:Flickypedia. The holding category idea is one I've found useful to easily find files that I want to work on later, and thought it might be useful to mention. Cheers. // sikander { talk } 🦖 05:11, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
- @Sikander, I see your holding category. I had added some categories to the many files being held in Category:2022 United Nations Biodiversity Conference back in July. Let me know, if you need some help, since they were uploaded in December 2022.
- Flickr2Commons will apparently not be used by the Commons:Flickypedia project as quoted here:
- "=== A tribute to Flickr2Commons === When we began to design the partnership, we had hoped to “adopt” Flickr2Commons and extend it. In June, we took a good look at the source code in consultation with Magnus Manske and figured out it probably wouldn’t stand up to being extended as it is without significant time invested to stabilise it. The preparation we did for this in June—trying and failing to run the source code locally, for example—indicates that it may be more robust to create a fresh version on the shoulders of Flickr2Commons."
