Tip: Categorizing images
[edit]
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:
[[Category:Astronomical diagrams]]
[[Category:Comets]]
This will make the diagram show up in the categories "Astronomical diagrams" and "Comets".
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.BotMultichillT 05:35, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

Your mushroom images
[edit]Hi. Just thought I'd let you know, this, this, and this are not shaggy inkcaps (Coprinus comatus) but rather Shaggy parasols (Chlorophyllum rhacodes). Regards, --The High Fin Sperm Whale 17:03, 5 November 2010 (UTC)
Location and Source
[edit]Hi Accuruss, Thanks for your many panorama uploads to Commons. One small thing though, I noticed you currently put the location and source in the Description field. As done for you here please use the Source-field for the source and the {{Location}} or {{Location dec}} to specify the location for the image. –Krinkletalk 23:29, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
- PS: You can use tools like this one to generate the template for your if you're getting the location by browsing the map yourself. If you have the coordinates already you can put them in {{Location dec}} directly. –Krinkletalk 23:31, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
Categorization
[edit]Hi Accuruss,
Thanks for all your great panorama shots - they're really beautiful. I am hoping, though, that you can try to be more specific in your categorization. If you add Category:Kelowna, you don't need to add Category:British Columbia or Category:Canada, because Kelowna is already a sub-category of British Columbia, and British Columbia is a sub-category of Canada. The more specific you can be, the more useful your pictures will be on commons, and the less cluttered the categories will get. For more explanation, please see COM:OVERCAT. Thanks again. - Themightyquill (talk) 03:38, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

For your information, i definitely did create these images last night using adobe after effects and photoshop, processing video source imagery and running each frame through about 50 different steps of filters. i have the original files and scripts used to generate that i made over here if you would like me to show you them.

Thanks for uploading File:Francis wolf.svg. I notice that the file page either doesn't contain enough information about the license or it contains contradictory information about the license, so the copyright status is unclear.
If you created this file yourself, then you must provide a valid copyright tag. For example, you can tag it with {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} to release it under the multi-license GFDL plus Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike All-version license or you can tag it with {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. (See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of license tags that you can use.) If you did not create the file yourself or if it is a derivative of another work that is possibly subject to copyright protection, then you must specify where you found it (e.g. usually a link to the web page where you got it), you must provide proof that it has a license that is acceptable for Commons (e.g. usually a link to the terms of use for content from that page), and you must add an appropriate license tag. If you did not create the file yourself and the specific source and license information is not available on the web, you must obtain permission through the VRT system and follow the procedure described there. Note that any unsourced or improperly licensed files will be deleted one week after they have been marked as lacking proper information, as described in criteria for deletion. If you have uploaded other files, please confirm that you have provided the proper information for those files, too. If you have any questions about licenses please ask at Commons:Village pump/Copyright or see our help pages. Thank you. |
