Tip: Categorizing images

---

Hello, Dmeranda!

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.

Library Bookshelves

Oh, no - what happened to your website? I've been using the beautiful bookshelves you built in your library as inspiration for my living room renovation! Any way to get a picture back? - [April 2, 2010] Miriam Hill, rmiriam79@yahoo.com

Had a hard drive crash, and decided to rebuild the entire site from the ground up using new hardware and new software technology. It should be back up in the next couple days Dmeranda (talk) 05:23, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

Rainbow series

You mention with this photo (source says 'own work', so I am assuming you have the series?) that this is the complete series. Where can I find a complete list of these works?
