Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, Kurcke!

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.

Repeated rename requests

Your request has been declined by several filemovers. You can post at the administrators noticeboard and see if they want to do it. If you keep just trying to find a filemover who will do it, you'll be reported for edit warring. Geoffroi 22:29, 17 December 2025 (UTC)

The arena's actual official name is in French (which is clearly labelled on the building), like almost every non-governmental organisation in francophone Quebec. Quebec is not an English-speaking province, French is the sole official language of the province, and every street sign, address, signage in public transport and government institution are labelled in French only.

Yes, but the French word order is reversed in English. File renaming guidelines prohibit renames just to switch languages. They have an English version of their site, which I've linked on the files, so why is a file with that English version a problem? Geoffroi 22:50, 17 December 2025 (UTC)

Because its original official name is in French. Why does the original French name of an institution from a place which is not English-speaking have to be translated into English? Kurcke (talk) 22:58, 17 December 2025 (UTC)

I've posted about this at Commons:Administrators' noticeboard#File:Videotron Centre 6.jpg so we can get guidance on this from administrators. Geoffroi 23:08, 17 December 2025 (UTC)

Please do not edit war

---

You currently appear to be participating in an edit war. Users are expected to collaborate with others, and once it is known that there is a disagreement should discuss the issues on the relevant talk page rather than repeatedly undoing other users’ contributions. If necessary you can ask for more input at Commons:Dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to ask for temporary page protection. If you continue to edit war, you may be blocked from editing – even if you are right about the content issue.

File:Language families of Asia.png has been reverted back to the version indicating Semitic language family for the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Please do not revert this again with an inaccurate map. Bastique ^{☎ let's talk!} 21:57, 15 June 2026 (UTC)
