Moving Your Files to Wikimedia Commons

Don't worry. He's watching your back. And yes, he's hosted on Commons.

Hello Duttpuneet!

First, thank you for your contributions to Wikisource. Any contributions are always very much appreciated. While searching around, I noticed that you have some files that you uploaded to Wikisource that would probably serve the community better if it was on Wikimedia Commons, a media file repository. You can view your files to see which ones I'm referring to. See the Image Guidelines for more information.

Why should you do this?

As an example, let's pretend you extracted a hard-to-find image from a book written in 1870. If you upload it to Wikisource, only Wikisource users can use it. What if a user from Japan is writing an article about a similar topic? If your file is on Wikisource, it's unlikely he'll find it, and if he's lucky enough to find it, he still won't be able to use it easily. However, if you uploaded it to Commons, it's much more likely he'll find it and be able to use it. (Files hosted on Commons are accessible from any sister project) The same goes for any PDF or DJVU files you upload as well.

• A guide to contributing content to Wikimedia Commons

Note: To "move" a page from Wikisource to Commons is simple, but somewhat confusing if you don't know how to. First, upload the file to Commons with the same file name as you did here. Add the same information, making sure you put in the correct license. I suggest adding the {{Wikisource image}} template to its Commons page. Then edit the file's page at Wikisource and add the template {{Now Commons}}. Soon an administrator will complete the "move" by deleting the Wikisource copy (as it's no longer needed). You don't need to change any tags on Wikisource as they'll automatically point to the new file. Awesome!

If you have any questions or concerns, don't be afraid to ask.

{{nop}}

May I add a welcome to you. Thought that I would point out that we use the template {{nop}} a little differently than you have been utilising. The template is used to circumvent a wiki quirk that will collapses a terminating end of line character when it transcludes pages. Accordingly we pretty well only use nop when we have a terminating paragraph and it goes on a new line after the paragraph mark, at the end of the section. This will produce a paragraph mark when we transclude the pages. If you have any general questions, we have a really supportive community that is happy to answer them at Wikisource:Scriptorium/Help. — billinghurst sDrewth 10:13, 8 February 2014 (UTC)

Hi billinghurst,

I am not sure what you're trying to explain to me. Can you provide me with more clarification?

Thanks, Duttpuneet (talk) 21:58, 10 February 2014 (UTC)

What Billinghurst means is that {{nop}} is used at the end of a page only if a paragraph ends on that page. When text is transcluded to the Main namespace, it automatically brings the last line of the page and the first line of the next page on to the same line. {{nop}} is used to mark the end of a paragraph and the beginning of a new one. Also, {{nop}} is used on a new line to make sure that the paragraph is ended. Regards,—Clockery Fairfeld ^[t·c] 07:56, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
