Tip: Categorizing images

---

Hello, Cosmosd!

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.

Auteurs et licences

Bonjour Cosmod,

Tu as importé File:Vue du Chateau de Monceau proche la Sambre.jpg et File:Château de Reinhardstein original.jpg en précisant qu'il s'agissait de travaux personnels et que l'auteur était François Bellin (je suppose qu'il s'agit de toi). Tu as utilisé les licences GFDL+CC-BY-SA pour ces œuvres.

Or, je remarque qu'il s'agit de reproductions en 2D d'œuvres en 2D de Remacle Le Loup et Mathieu-Antoine Xhrouet. Dans ce cas, il est communément admis que l'acquisition de ces œuvres (par un scanner ou un appareil photo) ne constitue pas un travail original.

Il conviendrait mieux d'indiquer « Remacle Le Loup » et « Mathieu-Antoine Xhrouet » comme auteurs et de sélectionner la licence {{PD-old}}, ces travaux étant clairement dans le domaine public.

Je te laisse corriger.

Bonne continuation sur Commons. Bien cordialement. Peter17 (talk) 15:18, 30 May 2010 (UTC)
