Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, Caddyshack01!

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.

Notification about possible deletion

Some contents have been listed at Commons:Deletion requests so that the community can discuss whether they should be kept or not. We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at their entry. If you created these pages, please note that the fact that they have been proposed for deletion does not necessarily mean that we do not value your kind contribution. It simply means that one person believes that there is some specific problem with them, such as a copyright issue. Please see Commons:But it's my own work! for a guide on how to address these issues. Please remember to respond to and – if appropriate – contradict the arguments supporting deletion. Arguments which focus on the nominator will not affect the result of the nomination. Thank you!

Thanks for uploading File:Peter Heenan MIKAN 3216661.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. If you created this file yourself, then you must provide a valid copyright tag. For example, you can tag it with {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} to release it under the multi-license GFDL plus Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike All-version license or you can tag it with {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. (See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of license tags that you can use.) If you did not create the file yourself or if it is a derivative of another work that is possibly subject to copyright protection, then you must specify where you found it (e.g. usually a link to the web page where you got it), you must provide proof that it has a license that is acceptable for Commons (e.g. usually a link to the terms of use for content from that page), and you must add an appropriate license tag. If you did not create the file yourself and the specific source and license information is not available on the web, you must obtain permission through the VRT system and follow the procedure described there. Note that any unsourced or improperly licensed files will be deleted one week after they have been marked as lacking proper information, as described in criteria for deletion. If you have uploaded other files, please confirm that you have provided the proper information for those files, too. If you have any questions about licenses please ask at Commons:Village pump/Copyright or see our help pages. Thank you.

Autopatroller

Hi, Caddyshack! You have done a lot of good work and your edits do not need to be patrolled anymore, so I just made you autopatroller. Thank you for your work and happy editing! Taivo (talk) 10:41, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

File:Ross, King, Bult, Mcbride and Dryden.jpg

Hi, Can you please tell more precisely what is unidentified in File:Ross, King, Bult, Mcbride and Dryden.jpg? If someone is misentified, please specify the issue. The "unidentified" category is unlikely to be of much use on this image without an explanation of what identification problem users are expected to look for -- Asclepias (talk) 16:53, 11 January 2023 (UTC)

Uploading over existing images

Hi Caddyshack. While providing higher resolution versions of existing images is appreciated, as you did with File:HaiseandFullertonEnterprise.jpg, it is critical and necessary to provide the source of these images. Please remember to update the source in the description when you provide updated images. — Huntster (t @ c) 06:53, 22 March 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for the notice, I will make sure to do that in the future. I am getting all of the higher resolution nasa images from searching the Image and Video Library (https://images.nasa.gov/) - Caddyshack01 (talk) 15:50, 22 March 2023 (UTC)

Very much appreciated, thank you! — Huntster (t @ c) 19:09, 22 March 2023 (UTC)

@Caddyshack01, hello again. I need to caution you against overwriting files as you did with File:1989 s34 Galileo Deploy2.jpg. When the target file has completely different dimensions and differences in colouration, the new file needs to be uploaded under a new filename. Check out COM:OVERWRITE for more information. That's why it and File:Galileo spacecraft & IUS deployment sequence in OV-104's payload bay on STS-34 (S34-71-000AK).jpg were separate files in the first place. As an example, sometimes different cropping is intentional (though I'm not saying it is in this case), so if overwritten it could be disruptive to the end user. Just be mindful in the future. Thanks! — Huntster (t @ c) 18:58, 25 March 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for the notice. I looked at that one and you are correct, the Galileo is at two slightly different angles, as well as the different coloring and cropping. I will be more careful in the future. My goal was to update some of the lower quality images (generally uploaded between 2006-2012) with higher resolution images from the NASA Image and Video Library. - Caddyshack01 (talk) 22:22, 25 March 2023 (UTC)

And I absolutely support that initiative. Just don't upload over images if they aren't simply lower resolution. If they differ in color, shade, or dimension, they really should be uploaded as separate files. — Huntster (t @ c) 05:26, 26 March 2023 (UTC)

Great work on NASA pictures

Hey Caddyshack. I've noticed your great work on NASA pictures in my watchlist. Thanks and keep it up! Cryptic-waveform (talk) 13:52, 24 March 2023 (UTC)
