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.
Thanks a lot for contributing to the Wikimedia Commons! Here's a tip to make your uploads more useful: Why not add some categories to describe them? This will help more people to find and use them.
Here's how:
1) If you're using the UploadWizard, you can add categories to each file when you describe it. Just click "more options" for the file and add the categories which make sense:
2) You can also pick the file from your list of uploads, edit the file description page, and manually add the category code at the end of the page.
[[Category:Category name]]
For example, if you are uploading a diagram showing the orbits of comets, you add the following code:
When picking categories, try to choose a specific category ("Astronomical diagrams") over a generic one ("Illustrations").
Thanks again for your uploads! More information about categorization can be found in Commons:Categories, and don't hesitate to leave a note on the help desk.

Bonjour ! Il faut créer des catégories avec le nom complet des personnes concernées, et pas seulement leur nom de famille. Rien ne dit par exemple qu'une autre personne connue, ou une commune dans le monde, ne porte pas le nom Cuvier ou Mansart : une catégorie comme Category:Statues of Mansart serait alors une source de confusion. Je vais donc procéder aux renommages. Jastrow (Λέγετε) 14:28, 30 April 2012 (UTC)Reply

Bonjour.
Merci de la correction (Étables et non Saint-Quay). Je me demande pourtant s'il ne serait pas envisageable de catégoriser sur les deux communes : la fiche Mérimée précise "anciennement commune de Saint-Quay", géographiquement le calvaire est dans le bourg de Saint-Quay et pa s dans celui d’Étables, et l'office de tourisme de Saint-Quay le mentionne parmi les curiosités à voir.
Bonne continuation.Palamède (talk) 07:26, 7 August 2013 (UTC)Reply
Bonjour,
Pour ce que j'ai pu en constater, cartographiquement, ce calvaire dépend effectivement, administrativement de la commune d'Étables-sur-Mer. Mais à son extrême limite, dans la continuité de l'agglomération de Saint-Quay-Portrieux. Quoi qu'on en dise, malgré les informations de l'office du tourisme (office municipal ou intercommunal ? Dans ce dernier cas, il est bien compréhensible qu'il puisse parler d'une curiosité dans la commune voisine...) et le fait qu'il soit situé dans le bourg de Saint-Quay, les catégorisations s'effectuent à la commune. A ce titre, j'aurai tendance, personnellement, à ne catégoriser qu'à Étables... D'ailleurs, je comptais entamer les démarches pour fusionner Category:Calvaire de la rue Louais (Saint-Quay-Portrieux) et Category:Calvaire d'Étables-sur-Mer en Category:Calvaire de la rue Louais (Étables-sur-Mer). Maintenant, je vais toutefois attendre un retour, et un agrément, de votre part avant d'entamer cette procédure. Bonne soirée, --Fab5669 (talk) 16:25, 7 August 2013 (UTC)Reply
Vous avez raison sur la catégorisation, le calvaire est dans la commune d'Étables et n'a pas à être catégorisé ailleurs. Je vous propose cependant, vues les raisons évoquées précédemment, une alternative pour le nom de la catégorie.
Il est vrai que la limite intercommunale est vraiment très proche. Mais considérant que la Liste des MH parle bien de Calvaire d'Étables-sur-Mer]], je crois que je vais conserver ma première intention... Bonne soirée, --Fab5669 (talk) 18:08, 8 August 2013 (UTC)Reply

Hello Palamède,
I am a bit worried that my comment on your picture could be taken negatively. I really like your picture - it is one of my favourites in this contest - and therefore tried if cropping would be an improvement while trying to select the three pictures I like best (a tough decision).

On the English and French Wikipedias we have articles about Henri Duponchel, a former director of the Opéra in the 19th century, but our portrait picture is not very high quality, since it ultimately derives from a Google Books scan of a reproduction in a book. According to some sources, the original oil (by Lépaulle) is on display in the Garnier Opera Library and Museum. Should you ever have the opportunity, it would be really great to have a good high-resolution photo of the original portrait. (By the way, he is sometimes referred to as Edmond or Edmond Henri. As far as we know he never himself used the name Edmond.)
According to Gérard Fontaine's Charles Garnier's Opéra: Architecture and Interior Decor, there is also a bust of him on display in the east corridor outside the auditorium at the level of the first lodges (couloir des premières lodges, buste 22). In the corridors and public spaces of the Garnier house there are busts of many other persons associated with the Opéra, for some of whom we do not have any images. For example, we do not currently have an image of the stage decorator Charles-Antoine Cambon (buste 35 in the Rotonde du Glacier, also on the east side). There are probably many other examples. We currently have the Category:Busts of Palais Garnier, but as of this moment, all the images are of busts on the exterior of the building. It may be difficult to get good pictures of busts on the interior. Lighting is always a problem.
Anyway, these are just suggestions for possible images currently lacking at Commons. Thanks again for your contributions and best regards, --Robert.Allen (talk) 00:50, 6 March 2014 (UTC)Reply

Bonjour Palamède.
La photo que tu as mise pour le concours est hors-sujet qui est un rapport de taille (grand/petit), pas d'action. Je vais donc la retirer pour cette raison. Par contre, le concept avec (presque) la même photo, en pose longue, avec deux (voire trois) couleurs du feu collerait bien à Light on the move.
Bon. Il me semblait que la formulation ("one contrasting pair of subjects (comparative concept) Big and small, thick and thin, fat and skinny, long and short... ") autorisait une certaine liberté. Peut-être en ai-je abusé en effet. Bonne continuation.Palamède (talk) 17:33, 6 September 2014 (UTC)Reply
La formulation première est exprimée en français et, si je ne m'abuse, tu es francophone ? J'ai traduit puis demandé à ce que ce soit corrigé si besoin, et je n'avais rien à redire sur la correction. Si tu es totalement bilingue, je t'invite à prendre le sujet en français et de me proposer une traduction plus proche de ce que j'ai exprimé ; je t'en serai très reconnaissant. Le comparative concept est dans la taille, comme l'illustrent les vignettes mises en exemples. Si ce n'est pas clair, je peux reformuler. --Llann .\m/ (Lie 2 me ...)18:03, 6 September 2014 (UTC)Reply
Pas de problème. Tu n'as pas à t'excuser : on peut tous faire des erreurs d’interprétation et, dans ce cas-ci, il n'y a vraiment aucune conséquence . C'est dommage, malgré tout, car je trouve ta photo très sympa, bien cadrée, bien lumineuse et déclenchée au bon moment. Dommage aussi que ne sois pas bilingue, ça m'aurait aidé : la majorté des autres utilisateurs ne le sont pas non plus vers le français et ça me crée, à moi aussi, des erreurs d'interprétation... Bon weekend/bonne semaine. --Llann .\m/ (Lie 2 me ...)14:42, 7 September 2014 (UTC)Reply

Bonjour et merci pour votre participation à Wiki Loves Monuments.
Cependant, la photographie File:Passerelle des Capucins (Audierne), 2015.jpg ne représente apparemment pas un monument historique protégé concerné par le concours Wiki Loves Monuments. Cette photographie a donc été retirée du concours.
Tout d'abord, je clarifie un point : la photographie n'est pas supprimée, elle est juste retirée du concours mais reste bien disponible sur Commons.
Ensuite, il y a effectivement une fiche Mérimée mais c'est une fiche sur un bien inventorié et non sur un monument historique. Tout ce qui est dans la base Mérimée n'est pas forcément un monument historique.

I noticed that you did an edit on Category:Books to be categorised by country yesterday. I am cleaning up Book Cats of all kinds. Especially ones where there are up to thousands of incomplete uploads such as the above mentioned Category most are in Category:Books by year. Should there even be single images in the above Category? They are not books. They are just photos and scans and pdf's and djvu files. If User:Fae's Bot Script did a better job they would be in a major book category already and not dumped at Category:Books to be categorised by country. If it had done a better Bot job all those 22,000 images would be the Book Cats to be cleaned up. It is my opinion that all these single images be deleted . Can I have your opinion if you have any say in major Commons matters? Thanks WayneRay (talk) 18:34, 11 February 2016 (UTC)Reply
{{Countries of Europe|prefix=:Category:Weather and climate in|suffix=by region}}: since this category is for a region, not a country, this template doesn't help.
{{Cat see also|Weather and climate in France by department}}: Since this category was for an individual region, not for all the regions, it also doesn't help here.
{{MetaCat|region|topic=Weather and climate|topic2=France}}: this category is not a metacategory, so this template should not be used.
Sorry for my very bad english. Regions of France are changing. It is usefull to have old (ie Bassse-Normandie here) and new categories (Normandie here) at the same time during this (long?) change. We have to make sure that no mistakes are done in moving categories (ie verify by other users). It is also the case for other categories and other regions of France. But "Basse Normandie" will desapear as soon as possible. Kind regards.Palamède (talk) 06:49, 2 November 2016 (UTC)Reply
Hi Palamède, please pardon me for not writing in French. Your English is surely better than my French. But please feel free to respond in French if this is easier for you. I can read French texts, it is just hard for me to respond in French.
Thank you for pointing out that Basse-Normandie is no longer an administrative unit. I did not know that and from fr:Basse-Normandie I learn that Basse-Normandie and Haute-Normandie were fusioned on 1 January 2016. Nonetheless I think that such a major reorganization requires a discussion at COM:CFD. See, it is not uncommon to keep using traditional geographic regions even when they are no longer administrative units. In Ireland, we have Category:County Dublin which is still used despite being administratively split into the city of Dublin, and the modern counties of Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown, Fingal and South Dublin. In Northern Ireland, we have since ages no administrative counties but Category:County Fermanagh etc. continue to be the used. The reason behind this is that nearly all scientific works for Ireland continue to use the traditional 32 counties as geographic divisions of the island. We have similar approaches for other countries as well. Take Category:East Frisia for example which is a region of the state of Lower Saxony with no administrative function (which it had in the past). In summary, we should follow the literature, not the ever-changing reorgs by the politicians. And on my table I've a work Les vitraux de Basse-Normandie, and there exists a similar work of the Corpus Vitrearum for Haute-Normandie and so many other traditional regions of France. There are so many other works which focus on these old regions like Basse-Normandie that we should hesitate before we quickly abandon them here at Commons in our category system. There is no problem with keeping categories for Nomandie with sub-categories for Basse- and Haute-Normandie. However, if you are still convinced that we have to abandon the old regions, please open a discussion first to get input from others before investing too much work in a reorganization of our categorization system.

Dear Palamède, You started this Category:Writers from the Netherlands to be categorised by name, and filled it with 470 images. I didn't like the category, because it hinders a clear structure and makes searching more difficult by placing files that could be placed in 1 category in 2 or even 3 categories. You did the same with Category:Writers from France to be categorised by name (880 files) -as with other countries. I see you are now creating a Category:Writers from the Switzerland by name. Is it possible to first finish off the categories in Category:Writers to be categorised by name, by either returning these files to their old category or by making categories for all these different writers (and filling them with only 1 photograph)? I sincerely hope you will clean up the mess yourself, and not leave that to others. I ask this because your categorization is not helpful in this way, and only creating difficulties. (And I see that these categories are also under discussion at the moment.) Vysotsky (talk) 15:26, 15 February 2017 (UTC)Reply

Dear Palamède, It looks as if you dislike useful categories like Writers from the Netherlands. You moved several photographs from this category to the category Writers from the Netherlands by type, which is both not logical and not useful. If you want to do so nonetheless, please start a discussion first. I will change the items back to their original category.

Bonjour Palamède, Je suis au regret de vous signaler que la Rue Rochelongue n'existe pas dans la ville de Montpellier. Cette dénomination très locale de quartier est en rapport aux chants des cigales en été mais sans appellation officielle, d'où la confusion dont vous avez été abusé au regard des quelques minutes que vous vous êtes accordés de manipulations. En effet, si les fichiers portent l'indication Rochelongue, leurs contenus s'adressent à un ensemble de rues faisant parties du centre historique de la ville. Je comprends bien qu'à la vitesse de vos modifications, visibles dans vos contributions, il est possible de faire des erreurs ou de se méprendre de certains sujets. Cordialement, —— DePlusJean (talk) 14:08, 27 October 2017 (UTC)Reply
You are receiving this message because you voted in R1 of the 2017 Picture of the Year contest, but not yet in R2.
Dear Palamède,
Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the second round of the 2017 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year will be the twelfth edition of the annual Wikimedia Commons photo competition, which recognizes exceptional contributions by users on Wikimedia Commons. Wikimedia users are invited to vote for their favorite images featured on Commons during the last year (2017) to produce a single Picture of the Year.
Hundreds of images that have been rated Featured Pictures by the international Wikimedia Commons community in the past year were entered in this competition. These images include professional animal and plant shots, breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historical images, photographs portraying the world's best architecture, impressive human portraits, and so much more.
There are two total rounds of voting. In the first round, you voted for as many images as you liked. In Round 1, there were 1475 candidate images. There are 58 finalists in Round 2, comprised of the top 30 overall as well as the top 2 from each sub-category.
In the final round, you may vote for a maximum of three images. The image with the most votes will become the Picture of the Year 2017.
Bonjour! Mon anglais aussi n'est pas trés bon et je n'ai pas compris mais ce n'est pas mieux mettre la Harry dans la catégorie Prix Femina? Merci bien pour une explication, je ne suis pratique de commons! --Frullatore Tostapane (talk) 07:06, 18 July 2018 (UTC)Reply
Alexander Alvina Chamberland is non-binary (not a she and not a he), so as long as we don't have "Non-binary writers from" then "Writers from" is the category most suited I guess. (But the category "Writers from Sweden" together with the category "Non-binary people" does the same work.) :) /Sofie Sigrinn (talk) 10:19, 12 September 2018 (UTC)Reply

Bonjour,
Il y a une incohérence sur Category:Château d'Obies. Cette catégorie utilise l’identifiant IA59000641 mais Wikidata utilise l’identifiant PA59000167. J'ai d'abord cru que les deux notices faisant référence au même château mais elles ont une adresse différence. J’ai l’impression que c’est une erreur de saisie et qu’il s'agit bien d'un seule et même château mais j'aimerais bien une confirmation. Pourrais-tu y jeter un coup d’œil ?
Bonjour, j'avais créé cette catégorie un peu à l'aveuglette car je ne connais pas ce château.
L'identifiant été ajouté ensuite par User:Havang(nl) (WMF), qui doit être plus compétent que moi pour apporter des éclaircissements sur la question.

Bonsoir, même si leur iconographie respective est assez souvent imprécise, il ne faut pas confondre saint Michel et saint Georges. C'est saint Georges (en général à cheval) qui terrasse le dragon alors que saint Michel pourfend le démon (le diable) dont l'apparence, il est vrai, est rendue par certains sculpteurs et peintres trop proche de celle d'un dragon.

Thank you for contributing to Wiki Loves Monuments 2020, and for sharing your pictures with the whole world! We would like to ask again for a few minutes of your time. Thanks to the participation of people like you, the contest gathered more than 200K+ pictures of cultural heritage objects from more than 50 countries around the world.
You can find all your pictures in your upload log, and are of course very welcome to keep uploading images and help develop Wikimedia Commons, even though you will not be able to win more prizes (just yet). To make future contests even more successful than this year, we would like to invite you to share your experiences with us in a short survey.

Dear Palamède, In November you made several new categories with a typo, error. That may happen. You made new categories, now with the correct names. Good! But you forgot one thing: to ask for deletion of the error categories. This can be done as follows: go to the tab "Edit"/"Modifier", add at the top: {{speedydelete|reason}} and fill in the right reason (Like: category is empty, made a mistake). Publish your changes. That is all. A moderator will soon delete this catory. --JopkeB (talk) 14:00, 25 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

Bonjour, je ne comprends pas pourquoi vous êtes intervenu en supprimant la catégorie, n'êtes-vous pas d'accord qu'une plaque commémorative, ou une plaque commémorative, installée une certaine année n'est pas également un mémorial dans le sens qui est crédité ici dans Commons? On pourrait également faire valoir que la catégorie standardisée "monuments and memorials" est trop général et englobant, mais comme vous êtes un utilisateur actif de fr.wiki, vous savez que si la communauté décide qu'il s'agit d'une norme, vous pouvez la modifier si vous obtenez un consensus (...et là on sait qu'il y a bien plus d'anarchie que dans un Wikipédia...). pour revenir au sujet, si une plaque commémorative indique la date d'installation cela équivaut à connaître la date d'installation d'un monument au sens plus classique (sous-sol plus statue), qu'est-ce qui me manque?

L'objectif du concours est toujours le même : photographier le patrimoine historique. Les monuments admissibles sont les monuments architecturaux (présents dans la base Mérimée) et les objets (dans la base Palissy), qu'ils soient classés, inscrits ou simplement inventoriés.
N'hésitez pas à soumettre vos photos du 15 septembre au 15 octobre inclus. Nous sommes disponibles si vous avez la moindre question.
Bonne participation !

Round 1 of Picture of the Year 2024 voting is open!
2023 Picture of the Year: Incense plays an important role in Vietnamese life. It is considered as a sacred bridge to connect the visible life of human beings and the world of heaven, earth, and gods. Photo taken in Quang Phu Cau village, on the outskirts of Hanoi, Vietnam. In this picture, incense sticks are being set out to dry, after being dipped in the incense solution.
Dear Wikimedian,
Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the 2024 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year is the nineteenth edition of the annual Wikimedia Commons photo competition, which recognizes exceptional contributions by users on Wikimedia Commons. Wikimedia users are invited to vote for their favorite images featured on Commons during the last year (2024) to produce a single Picture of the Year.
Hundreds of images that have been rated Featured Pictures by the international Wikimedia Commons community in the past year are all entered in this competition. These images include professional animal and plant shots, breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historical images, photographs portraying the world's best architecture, impressive human portraits, and so much more.
For your convenience, we have sorted the images into topical categories. Two rounds of voting will be held: In the first round, you may vote for as many images as you like. The top 30 overall and top 5% of most popular images in each category will continue to the final. In the final round, you may vote for just three images to become the Picture of the Year.

[3], [4]: I am reverting these. In what sense is it appropriate to add a category for Hungary to a plaque in Bucharest? I hope this was an honest mistake rather than a deliberate provocation. - Jmabel ! talk21:06, 1 February 2026 (UTC)Reply
This is a deletion request for the community to discuss whether the nominated contents should be kept or deleted. Please voice your opinion in the linked request above. Thank you very much!
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!

You can view the full results and see where all your favorite images placed here: Full 2025 Results
I also want to highlight what an incredible turnout we had. In the second round, we saw a massive jump in both the number of users voting and the total votes cast. We had exactly 13,979 votes cast by 3,509 users! To put that in perspective, last year we had 7,403 votes from 2,837 users. It is amazing to see that level of growth and community engagement.
Thank you to everyone who voted, helped organize, and generally made the contest such a huge success this year!

Made a mistake?
. C'est dommage, malgré tout, car je trouve ta photo très sympa, bien cadrée, bien lumineuse et déclenchée au bon moment. Dommage aussi que ne sois pas bilingue, ça m'aurait aidé : la majorté des autres utilisateurs ne le sont pas non plus vers le français et ça me crée, à moi aussi, des erreurs d'interprétation... Bon weekend/bonne semaine. --Llann .\m/ (Lie 2 me ...) 14:42, 7 September 2014 (UTC)
. J'ai réparé cette petite erreur en créant la catégorie Cap Cerbère, ce qui a permis d'y glisser quelques fichiers supplémentaires.
