Thanks for uploading File:Stitch The Broken Heart.png. This media is missing permission information. A source is given, but there is no proof that the author or copyright holder agreed to license the file under the given license. Please provide a link to an appropriate webpage with license information, or ask the author or copyright holder to send an email with copy of a written permission to VRT (permissions-commons@wikimedia.org).

Tip: Categorizing images

---

Hello, Charlie4404!

Tip: Add categories to your files

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.

@Lord Belbury Thank you for sharing the tips. Will keep in mind to add categories to all the uploads. QQ - If multiple images uploaded by me falls under similar category, is there a way to select those images at once and add the categories at once? Charlie4404 (talk) 17:41, 3 March 2022 (UTC)

Good question! I don't do much batch uploading so I'm not sure, but if I wanted to categorise a lot of my already-uploaded images at once I'd use Help:VisualFileChange.js, selecting "append any text" and specifying added text of "Category:Paintings of fish Category:Paintings from France" or whatever. The Commons:Help desk may well have a better answer, though. --Lord Belbury (talk) 17:51, 3 March 2022 (UTC)

Thank you appreciate you quick response :) Charlie4404 (talk) 17:55, 3 March 2022 (UTC)

Looking into this a bit more, Help:Gadget-Cat-a-lot might be easier to use, letting you look at your contribution history and apply categories to individual files listed there. Interface seems a bit better for letting you roam around the categories to make sure you've got the best ones. Ping me if you have any questions! --Lord Belbury (talk) 18:00, 3 March 2022 (UTC)

Dear Wikimedian,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the 2022 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year will be the seventeenth edition of the annual Wikimedia Commons photo competition, which recognizes exceptional contributions by users on Wikimedia Commons. Wikimedia users are invited to vote for their favorite images featured on Commons during the last year (2022) to produce a single Picture of the Year.

Hundreds of images that have been rated Featured Pictures by the international Wikimedia Commons community in the past year are all entered in this competition. These images include professional animal and plant shots, breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historical images, photographs portraying the world's best architecture, impressive human portraits, and so much more.

For your convenience, we have sorted the images into topical categories. Two rounds of voting will be held: In the first round, you may vote for as many images as you like. The top 30 overall and the two most popular images in each category will continue to the final. In the final round, you may vote for just three images to become the Picture of the Year.

Round 1 will end on 1 May 2023, 23:59:59 UTC.

Click here to vote now!

Thanks,
the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee
