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.

Thank you for your effort in contributing Commons! Please note that the term "vehicles" has a broader meaning than just "automobiles". Please categorize related categories with "vehicles" as the parent category, and that with "automobiles" (and other else such as "vans" and "boats") as the child category, regards.廣九直通車 (talk) 07:35, 9 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

廣九直通車 I have seen what you mean. Thanks for letting me know. --Dreddmoto (talk) 14:51, 14 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Dreddmoto, Regarding your suggested category changes on my talk page here: User talk:Ooligan#Advice regarding File:"Butch", a Doberman Pinscher Marine War Dog stands guard as his partner, Pvt. Rez Hester, of Liberty, N.C., snatches a few winks in a sandy foxhole on Iwo Jima. (49482847102).jpg.

You have made over 2,000+ category changes or additions on Commons, since you joined about 10 years ago (September 2014)-Special:CentralAuth/Dreddmoto. The time you spent to give me your opinions about category changes would have been more beneficial to the Commons Project, if you had just made those category changes yourself. Respectfully, -- Ooligan (talk) 20:54, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Ooligan, thanks for your reply and the link which I had not seen. I realise that I can just go ahead and make the edits but I thought I would ask you if you wanted to do them, out of respect. --Dreddmoto (talk) 17:52, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I see you got some help regarding categories. From experience I know that the Commons are hard to figure out. You can ask all sorts of question at the Commons:Help desk. Also some users are very helpful. e.g. User talk:Jmabel. And looking at the histories of categories you are interested, you can often get an understanding of the category system and also the names of other editors that are interested in your subjects. Do read the rules about categories etc. Good luck! Krok6kola (talk) 14:08, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Krok6kola. --Dreddmoto (talk) 03:01, 8 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
