Image Tagging Image:Grammy2.PNG

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Grammy2.PNG. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikimedia Commons (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page. If the content is a derivative of a copyrighted work, you need to supply the names and a licence of the original authors as well.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag, then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{self|cc-by-sa-3.0}} to release it under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license or {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find all your uploads using the Gallery tool. Thank you. --Filnik 07:00, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

File:H1N1 North America Map.svg

Can you add Greenland to the map? It's part of North America. 76.66.202.139 07:51, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

Map H1N1 USA Map by cases

I just saw that you change the numbers of the colors, but i was wondering if you used the same numbers of the CDC, because the numbers you put there dont match the color of the states, that's why i changed it to the origiginal numbers (1+, 5+. 50+ 500+). I was going to upload the map yesterday but i saw that you already uploaded so i just update some minors changes, and i used those numbers to colored each state map. Anyway, i think that it way easier to read those numbers than the one u put. Let me know if you agre or nor, and maybe we can decide in whether we put another estimate for those states since the numbers are increasing each day.--Vrysxy (talk) 20:09, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

Oops i was almost finish when u oploaded the map, because i accidentally colored in red Washington and NY (wich are under 500), btw are we going to use the CDC numbers?? Because AR now has 5, and MS has confirmed 3 cases, i already have the map colored for those states, and Connecticut has now over 50 (47 on the CDC website). --Vrysxy (talk) 23:28, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

Tip: Categorizing images

---

Hello, Collegebookworm!

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.
