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) 10:45, 3 April 2010 (UTC)

Your maps
[edit]I've noticed you've uploaded a lot of colored maps, without properly indicating where you got the blank map to fill in. For example, did you really create the entire Massachusetts townships map on your own? Or the West Virginia county map? This is important because we need to have the right license. Please respond, or eventually I'll have to mark the maps as unsourced and they'll be deleted. Magog the Ogre (talk) 23:27, 26 November 2010 (UTC)
Could you tell me how to do that? Because I am unsure of how. Jajhill 16:58, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
