Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, Good twins!

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.

deletion requests

Hello! Thank you for your contribution to Commons and your attention to copyright here.

Just one moment - there is practically no need to open DR (deletion request) if image is already nominated to deletion (for example, it has {{No license}}). Moreover, you can also use {{subst:nld}}, {{subst:nsd}}, {{subst:npd}} to mark images without source, license, author, etc. and you don't need to open DR in such obvious cases rubin16 (talk) 14:11, 27 May 2011 (UTC)

Re: Your Deletion Request usage

Hi. I'm contacting you because of what I consider to be overuse of the DR process here at commons. Most of the deletion requests you are opening are not needed, you can mark images with tags for No Source, No Permission, No Author, No License, etc, without opening loads of deletion requests. As my colleague Rubin16 says above, there is no need to open a DR in such obvious cases. Please consider tagging problematic images first. Thanks. BarkingFish (talk) 15:58, 27 May 2011 (UTC)

So why tell me again there is nothing conterversal or OTT since Rubin's message from me. Good twins (talk) 16:02, 27 May 2011 (UTC)

Well instead of starting a DR on this, you could simply have used {{Npd}} to mark it as not having relevant permission. You simply gotta look at stuff and decide whether to use a tag or open a DR. DR is only used in cases where it's not immediately clear why the image needs to be deleted. BarkingFish (talk) 16:11, 27 May 2011 (UTC)
