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? Tag it as {{speedy|reason here}}. For more information read the deletion guidelines.

Re: Question

No, as long as they are of high technical quality. Also, QI must be created by Wikipedians (they can not be created by NASA or NOAA or something like that). Feel free to get involved with QIC if you like, and don't hesitate to ask me any more questions you have. --The High Fin Sperm Whale 23:13, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

Oh, I've done that before too. But there is nothing wrong with nominating a self-uploaded VIC, either. I've nominated two of my own, both of which got promoted. --The High Fin Sperm Whale 01:12, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

Pardosa glacialis photo is wrong

Dear Schuylar,

The photo you uploaded for the wiki page on Pardosa glacialis:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Arctic_wolf_spider.jpg

Is a photo I took and it is not a photo of that species. It should be removed from that page (I would have done this myself if I knew how)> Thanks, Derek
