Question from Ramekin99

Hello Calliope! I am confused on the process of uploading a photo from Wikimedia Commons, I would like to upload a photo, but it always asks me if I created it. Which is a problem because I am trying to use a photo someone else created on Wikimedia Commons.

    Massively appreciated -Ramekin Ramekin99 (talk) 15:16, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Ramekin99 and apologies for the delayed reply. Do you mean that you are trying to add an image (that is already on Wikimedia Commons) to an article on Wikipedia? Calliopejen1 (talk) 16:23, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that is exactly what I am trying to do. The photo is on Wikimedia commons already, and I am trying to add it to an article on Wikipedia. Ramekin99 (talk) 15:06, 3 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ramekin99, hopefully this page has what you're looking for: Help:Introduction to images with VisualEditor/3. Let me know if you have any questions! Calliopejen1 (talk) 20:05, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oh hello! I was more so trying to upload the photo directly from Wikimedia Commons. Is that possible? Ramekin99 (talk) 23:47, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ramekin99 If an image is already in Wikimedia Commons, it should be just loaded from there. Very few images should be uploaded directly to English Wikipedia (pretty much only fair-use images or images that are in public domain in the US but not in their country of origin).

Question from Ozzycode (21:11, 5 August 2024)

What should I do if I think an article should be deleted? I can't seem to find any information online about this topic: http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Reverse_DDM and it seems like the original author was describing some sort of USB port management, and it seems like they just invented the term Reverse DDM. --Ozzycode (talk) 21:11, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Ozzycode. For this I recommend the proposed deletion process described here: Wikipedia:Proposed deletion. Basically, in source-editing mode, paste {{subst:prod|The reason the article should be deleted}} at the top of the article. If someone contests the proposed deletion, you could use the WP:AFD process. Let me know if you have any questions, and good luck! Calliopejen1 (talk) 19:44, 6 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much. Have a nice day. Ozzycode (talk) 20:15, 6 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Jamee49 (16:26, 6 August 2024)

Hey, I'm an artist on spotify. I only have 1 song so I don't have a page on here, but that 1 song has reached over 160k listens in just a month so I was thinking it would be cool to start a page here. I just dont know how, can you help please? --Jamee49 (talk) 16:26, 6 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Jamee49, sorry, but autobiographies are strongly discouraged here. You probably also do not qualify for an article at this stage of your career - see WP:NMUSIC. Calliopejen1 (talk) 19:45, 6 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
