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 (talk) 05:56, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

Why did you create a self-referencing template?
[edit]It does nothing other than throw up an error message: http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Ffd&action=history AnonMoos (talk) 02:22, 16 May 2009 (UTC)
Need some explanation as to why image should be deleted
[edit]As the original uploader of the file, you may have a little extra leeway in some respects; however, an explanation is still needed. AnonMoos (talk) 21:19, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
Please give a specific reason why the image should be deleted
[edit]Keeping piling on with redundant duplications of the same inadequately-explained template does very little to meaningfully move the process forward. AnonMoos (talk) 23:14, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
Stop flailing around making random edits to the image description page and explain yourself on Commons:Deletion_requests/File:Hogtie_00743.JPG instead. AnonMoos (talk) 22:37, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
