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?

You reverted some edits on the category blackface. that category "Blackface is a form of theatrical makeup". So I changed 'cosmetics' to the more specialised category 'make-up'. Cosmetics also involves parfume etc and that is not the case here. I removed 'caricature' as only certain theatre plays involve caricatures. Please put images related to blackface in minstrelsy shows to the underlying category "Blackface ministrelsy' as that is especially focused on the use of blackface style from ministrel shows in American theatre culture. --Hannolans (talk) 13:09, 28 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

We're already discussing your misunderstanding of blackface on your talkpage so let's keep the discussion there. World's Lamest Critic (talk) 15:11, 28 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

ok --Hannolans (talk) 00:38, 29 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

In this edit] you're calling me a racist. It could be that in your culture that is not offensive, but in my culture this is really offensive and criminal. I'm really upset that you use such language to me in what should be a collaborative project. --Hannolans (talk) 21:22, 1 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

If your actions suggest that you're a racist, you will probably get called a racist from time to time. You should get used to it. World's Lamest Critic (talk) 22:01, 1 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

If you are against a categorisation, you can discuss it with arguments, but not this inhuman behavior... --Hannolans (talk) 00:24, 2 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You are acting in an uncivil manner. Please remain civil and don't resort to making personal attacks or instigate edit wars. If your behaviour is not moderated, you may be blocked from further editing.

Calling others racist as you did above is unacceptable in this project of ours. Wikicology (talk) 08:34, 2 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I will try to control myself the next time I encounter a racist editor. Thank you for the warning. World's Lamest Critic (talk) 15:24, 2 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, please don't remove licenses. If you think there is a copyright problem, please nominate for deletion instead. Jcb (talk) 17:14, 12 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Jcb: why have you restored an invalid claim of public domain? This is not the work of Navy personnel. Why would I nominate for deletion rather than hope that someone knows the correct license template? World's Lamest Critic (talk) 23:36, 12 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Because you are creating unnecessary maintenance workload. If you don't know where the general {{PD-USGov}} template is, please ask in the village pump instead. Jcb (talk) 15:24, 13 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Jcb: if something is has an invalid claim of public domain, I don't think that should be ignored. User:Geo Swan's incorrect use of the PD-USGov-Military-Navy template necessitated the "unnecessary maintenance workload" but I'm sure it was just a simple mistake. Do you plan on fixing the template, or should I nominate it for deletion as you first suggested? World's Lamest Critic (talk) 16:37, 13 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

For your information, several users have been blocked in the recent past for removal of licenses they disagreed with. If you remove a license this way, this is much more time consuming for maintenance volunteers than if you start a DR. We are already quite understaffed, nobody is in need of even more workload. Jcb (talk) 16:41, 13 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Why on earth would you block users for removing licenses that are obviously incorrect? How does that help Commons or our users? I'm not sure would you bring up blocking in this discussion at all. Are you threatening to block me? World's Lamest Critic (talk) 16:49, 13 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I told you about the blocking to emphasize how disturbing this removal of licenses is. I hope I am clear enough, because I am not wasting more precious time on this single file and discussion. Jcb (talk) 16:54, 13 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Jcb: as a volunteer you choose what to spend your time on. As an admin, I would expect a better explanation than a threat of blocking. World's Lamest Critic (talk) 17:01, 13 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'm interested in getting another opinion. World's Lamest Critic (talk) 17:15, 13 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I'm not sure, but does the Public Domain Day not calculate here? Regards, ptjackyll (leave a message) 21:44, 31 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

If it did, wouldn't that mean it wouldn't be in the public domain until January 1, 2019? World's Lamest Critic (talk) 00:28, 1 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

"The year after 50 years". You're right. Sorry, my mistake. Thanks for your vigilance. Regards ptjackyll (leave a message) 18:20, 1 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I just made you autopatroller, because you have made a lot of good work. Taivo (talk) 07:30, 2 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. World's Lamest Critic (talk) 13:51, 2 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! Regarding https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:JusticeJillani.jpg, the picture you linked here https://www.pakistantoday.com.pk/2014/06/24/chief-justice-tassadaq-jillani-retiring-next-week/ features a full-size copy of the photograph I took, which precedes this article by about half a year. If you still think there's any copyright violation, do let me know how to fix it. Hope this is helpful. --Salman Dawood (talk) 03:40, 17 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Salman Dawood: You may have taken the photograph, but who holds the copyright? Was the image previously released under a public domain or open license? If you are also the copyright holder, please read Commons:OTRS. Thanks. World's Lamest Critic (talk) 03:52, 17 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You are very right, oversight on my part. Have provided sourcing - I am the copyright holder, and the image was released previously under Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 2.0 license. --Salman Dawood (talk) 04:45, 17 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You had best better explain yourself without posting any additional information that could be considered private or personally identifiable. As of right now, in light of your additional oversight block on the English Wikipedia, I'm seriously debating on just revoking talk page access and being done with it. --Majora (talk) 22:09, 16 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure how to respond to that. I was accused of "libel" by an IP in regard to something I posted on User:Drmies talk page. I posted the contents of a publicly available message from a public Wikimedia mailing list to back up what I had said. Then a brand new account came along and deleted it. The name of that new account also implied that I was libeling someone, so I posted the same message on their talk page and asked them to identify the libel. They removed it. I did not restore it. And now we are here.

The person involved was a prolific vandal and sockmaster on Wikipedia. They were banned in 2007. In 2014 they were unbanned after appealing to ARBCOM. They have violated the conditions of that unban from the very start. More recently, they were involved in sockpuppetry and conflict of interest editing regarding their business. In relation to the latter, I overestimated the amount of leeway given about "private information" in COI investigations. I was blocked for that (and I understand why). I am happy to provide evidence for all of these claims if you will allow me to name accounts and post links. World's Lamest Critic (talk) 23:04, 16 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

What occurred at enwiki is really none of my concern. Bringing enwiki problems here is also not something that people should be doing. If there are issues that have to be dealt with please bring it to the attention of administrators at the appropriate board, COM:ANB or COM:ANU. For all intents and purposes, what you posted was not acceptable and you did it not once but twice. Public mailing list or not that is using information posted outside this site to out someone when they have not personally stated such information here, on this project. Doing so will not be tolerated. Period. This isn't a game of connect the dots. You cannot use outside information to post personally identifiable information. I am willing to give you one more chance provided you promise that you will never do that again but that is it. If you break this promise I will reblock you indefinitely but this time it will be with talk page access revoked. Do we have an agreement? --Majora (talk) 04:29, 17 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
