Tip: Categorizing images
[edit]
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.BotMultichillT 05:46, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

Dear user, you need a written permission from those companies (e.g. Emirates Sunland Group) which clearly says that they are willing to release this images under one of licenses accepted in Wikimedia Commons they can be used freely for any porous, you should send this permission to OTRS (permissions-commons@wikimedia.org) so we can verify your permission. also some of your images don't have source information, please add them. and about your question, I don't know what you mean by "two pages edited reverted back to their incorrect original status" please tell me which page you are talking about. for more information please see:
• Commons:Licensing
• Wikipedia:Example requests for permission
• Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission
Regards. ■ MMXXtalk 03:35, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
- Dear User, thank you for your reply, do you mean response from Wikimedia Commons? please notice that you will not receive any specific reply from OTRS, you should just wait until your permission get verified by OTRS members.
If you have forwarded the written permission to OTRS (permissions-commons@wikimedia.org) you should also add {{OTRS pending}} template to your images, so everybody can understands that you are waiting for your permission to get verified by OTRS members.
About those pages that you asked (Palazzo Versace Australia and Palazzo Versace Dubai) I don't know exactly what happened there, it's better you ask the user which made those changes or post a comment on article's talk page
If you need any help please do not hesitate to ask, best regards. ■ MMXXtalk 17:38, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
