Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, Snurre86!

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.

What am I doing wrong here?

Trying to redirect from "Category:Osteroybrua" and "Category:Osterøybrua" to "Category:Osteroybroen" but not have them as under categories ... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Snurre86 (talk • contribs) 16:16, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

Redirects do not work with categories like they do with pages. You can use {{Category redirect}} template in some cases. --Apalsola ^{t • c} 22:15, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

Please use sub-categories

---

When categorising files, please avoid placing them into several categories that are directly linked within the same tree (e.g. a parent category and a child category – like Category:United Kingdom and Category:London), to prevent over-categorization of files and over-population of categories. Usually, only the most specific category should be used. See Commons:Categories for more details. Thank you.

{{Rename}}

For å rette navn på en fil som er opprettet med feil navn merker du den bare med denne malen, File:Breiviktunnelen - Road signs P1.jpg merker du for eksempel med

{{rename|Breivikatunnelen - Road signs P1.jpg|incorrectly named}}

Jeg er ikke admin. her på Commons lenger, så det går akkurat like fort om du merker dem selv. Filen blir normalt flyttet i løpet av et par dager. Vennlig hilsen Finn Rindahl (talk) 18:49, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

Takk skal du ha Finn. --Peter Kaino Jensen (talk) 19:41, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

Det du mener er at det går akkurat like tregt om jeg merker de selv. Et par dager var litt optimistisk... Ser ut som commons mister en bidragsyter etter at jeg har lastet opp noen bru bilder som var ment for commons, men jeg ennå ikke har fått lastet opp. Dette er for nedverdigende eller i værtfall unødvendig trasig. --Peter Kaino Jensen (talk) 04:47, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

Re: ZooFari

I'm not really sure what's causing CA. It is usually the lens unable to focus all colors on the same plane, but other times it's the contrast. CA is very common is wide angle lens and appear at the side-most portions of the image. The only way to prevent CA is to buy new lenses/camera or dedicate some time in image software to reduce it.

Pay attention to licensing

Wikimedia Commons only accepts free content: images and other media files that can be used by anyone, for any purpose. File:Firefox 13 in Windows 7 - no.wikipedia.org P2.png seems to be free (or it would be proposed for deletion), but it was identified as having a wrong license. Usually, it is because a public domain image is tagged with a free license, or because the stated source or other information is not sufficient to prove the selected tag is correct. Please verify that you applied the correct license tag for this file. If you believe this file has the correct license, please explain why on the file discussion page.

The reason given by the user who added this tag is: See below.

Hallo Snurre86, you are not the author by taking a screenshot. See Commons:Screenshots how to license correctly. Please also try to use some temporary Image hosting service (e.g. http://imgur.com/ or http://bayimg.com/ ) instead of Commons (if the images are just used once). Cheers --Saibo (Δ∇) 00:25, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

Not my fault the upload system here suck, look at all the other uploads like this one. Need time on this, its like I am talking to computer. --Peter Kaino Jensen (talk) 00:28, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

Now I'am pissed off, just delete the images or fix it yourself. I don't care anymore. --Peter Kaino Jensen (talk) 00:49, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

Is that a free movie in the video player?

No, sorry, I cannot fix all screenshots myself (you can ask at COM:HD if someone wants to). Can you explain what does not work in the upload system? --Saibo (Δ∇) 00:55, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

Ah, I need to search myself in the history... Well, you know how it works. So you just have problems using upload wizard? The random characters used as description make your upload look very messy, sorry for not knowing that you know how to license correctly. Or just write in the description "i will fix the licensing directly after upload". I strongly recommend then to just use the plain old form. Plain and simple - my favourite. Cheers --Saibo (Δ∇) 00:59, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

Is that better? --Peter Kaino Jensen (talk) 06:04, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

Ryaforbindelsen

I made a new category for Rya Tunnel Construction. Please see if that sub category is added to right higher categorys. --84.48.87.63 12:59, 5 August 2014 (UTC)

Your new Images

I found your images under the name Helvete etc. were uncategorized so I put them in Category:Helvete I am not sure what country is associated so check the category and correct it if necessary Thanks WayneRay (talk) 02:06, 11 February 2016 (UTC)

"Helvete" simply means "Hell" - I suppose it's fair to say that the user was struggling a bit when he uploaded those images. Thanks for categorizing them anyway. I have put them in more proper categories now. Blue Elf (talk) 16:08, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

De siste bildene

Hei Snurre. Jeg skjønner at du har vært sint og lei og frustrert. Men du har tatt mange fine bilder, også flere av de siste er bra. Takk for at du lastet dem opp her, tross alt. Blue Elf (talk) 16:08, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

Bildene var tatt i 2009, 2010 & 2011 de var alltid ment for Commons, men var ikke lastet opp på grunn av synlig støv på linsa, ute av fokus eller andre (feil) på bildene. Etter noen år i en lagringsmappe for bilder med forbedringspotensiale ble de lastet opp i 2016 hvor de etter opplasting ble slettet lokalt på grunn av manglende interesse. Som du vet var ikke dette smertefritt og konstaterte min tilfredshet men å legge hele Wikimedia prosjektene bak meg. Snurre86
