Hello, Fivebills!
Tip: Add categories to your files
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.

Pay attention to licensing
Wikimedia Commons only accepts free content: images and other media files that can be used by anyone, for any purpose.

File:Sir Edward Bullock.1.JPG seems to be free (or it would be proposed for deletion), but it was identified as having a wrong license. Usually, it is because a public domain image is tagged with a free license, or because the stated source or other information is not sufficient to prove the selected tag is correct. Please verify that you applied the correct license tag for this file.

If you believe this file has the correct license, please explain why on the file discussion page.

Hi I took the photo of an ancient painting - so the photo is my own work and not the painting. Please amend the licence if I have got it wrong! thanks Fivebills (talk) 21:15, 20 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
The licence belongs in this case to the painting, i changed it. Do you know more about the painting? Who is the painter, where is the painting? It would be great, when you can add more info to the file, best regards --AtelierMonpli (talk) 23:44, 20 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

File:Barbara Lupton.jpg has been listed at Commons:Deletion requests so that the community can discuss whether it should be kept or not. We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at its entry.

If you created this file, please note that the fact that it has been proposed for deletion does not necessarily mean that we do not value your kind contribution. It simply means that one person believes that there is some specific problem with it, such as a copyright issue. Please see Commons:But it's my own work! for a guide on how to address these issues.

Please remember to respond to and – if appropriate – contradict the arguments supporting deletion. Arguments which focus on the nominator will not affect the result of the nomination. Thank you!

File:Joseph Lupton.jpg

[edit]

You claim File:Joseph Lupton.jpg as "own work", but you can't have taken a photo in 2011 of someone who died in 1894. Would you please change the licence to something more appropriate. It appears from the deletion request above that a number of your files labelled as "own work" may not be. --David Biddulph (talk) 08:44, 14 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks - see my other post on this re family photos Fivebills (talk) 22:01, 14 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
