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.

Please don't blank pages

Hi Drumzo,
Thank you for your contributions to Commons. I noticed you blanked File:Jonathan Rashad.JPG on Commons. I assume you meant for the page to be deleted, but blanking the page is not the right way to do this. I'd like to strongly recommend to use {{speedy| type reason here }} and add it on top of the page you would like to have deleted; This way it will be placed on a special list that administrators check regularly for deletion. Without this it might take a long time before it's noticed. Thanks again. –Krinkle^talk 23:56, 26 September 2010 (UTC)

I would like to feature one of your photos and ask you a few questions

Hi Drumzo,

My name is Frank and I'm a user on Wikimedia Commons and a long-term Wikipedian. I just started an outline for a Commons magazine for photographers. For the first issue, I would like to feature one of your photos that I came across. It's for the section The story behind the picture (capturing events in history) and it would be great if you could answer some short questions. The photo I was thinking of is this one.

This photo fascinates me because they're examples of Commons photographers being close to some events that changed people's lifes. With that said, I totally respect your anonymity and you choose whether you want to answer my questions or not. In case you're interested, you can answer the questions on my talk page or send me an email (kontakt[at]schulenburg[dot]biz). Here are my questions:

• What does the photo show? When did you take this picture? Where? (just in case some people here are not familiar with the background)
• How did you happen to be at this place at that moment?
• This picture is being used on five Wikipedia language versions. It's one of the main pictures about the revolution on the Arabic Wikipedia (being featured on the top of the article) and also by the fact that it's also being used on the English Wikipedia, you reached a huge audience across countries. What does that mean to you?
• What did you do after you took the picture?

Thanks in advance, --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 03:10, 6 November 2012 (UTC)
