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.CategorizationBot (talk) 10:47, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

Wikimedia Commons does not accept derivative works of non-free works such as File:John Major Spitting Image.jpg. It only accepts free content, which is images and other media files that can be used by anyone, for any purpose. Reproductions of copyrighted works are also subject to the same copyright, and therefore this file must unfortunately be considered non-free. For more information, please read Commons:Derivative works and Commons:Freedom of panorama. You can ask questions about Commons policies in Commons:Help desk.
The file you added has been deleted. If you believe that this file was not a derivative work of a non-free work, you may request undeletion.

File source is not properly indicated: File:Gunwharf Quays night skylineimg.jpg
[edit]This media was probably deleted. |
A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:Gunwharf Quays night skylineimg.jpg, was missing information about where it comes from or who created it, which is needed to verify its copyright status. The file probably has been deleted. If you've got all required information, request undeletion providing this information and the link to the concerned file (
[[:File:Gunwharf Quays night skylineimg.jpg]] ).
If you created the content yourself, enter If someone else created the content, or if it is based on someone else's work, the source should be the address to the web page where you found it, the name and ISBN of the book you scanned it from, or similar. You should also name the author, provide verifiable information to show that the content is in the public domain or has been published under a free license by its author, and add an appropriate template identifying the public domain or licensing status, if you have not already done so. Warning: Wikimedia Commons takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. Please add the required information for this and other files you have uploaded before adding more files. If you need assistance, please ask at the help desk. Thank you! |

Hi @Jaguar: ,
I just noticed File:Star Fox interface (English).png ; unless I am mistaken, it is derived from File:Star Fox Interface Textless.svg that I made back in 2009? If so, would you mind attributing me as the original author on the file page?
Thanks! Jean-Fred (talk) 15:14, 30 November 2020 (UTC)
- My apologies Jean-Fred, I've added you as the original author. I never got around to using that image! Jaguar (talk) 17:56, 30 November 2020 (UTC)

Hi Jaguar, you should put author and source information for each of the images in this collage into the description, as you have done with File:Portsmouth montage.png. --Túrelio (talk) 19:03, 24 October 2021 (UTC)
