Hello, JamesDoss!
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.

South Korean decoration

[edit]

G'day James, you have added the image File:Korean Ulchi Medal with Silver Star.jpg calling it the Ulchi Medal. This appears odd as the Ulchi (also transliterated Eulji) Medal's ribbon is Ulchi Medal.png (or in a faded/earlier? representation Eulji Cordon Medal.png) (see also here. There are four stripes in the ribbon of the Eulji Medal representing its position as the second class of the Order of Military Merit. The ribbon device is also that of an ancient Korean helmet. In the image you have supplied, there are three stripes which indicates the third class of an order and the underlying ribbon device is that of the Korean Yin-Yang symbol. This device is used in the medals (but not ribbons) for the Order of Merit for National Foundation (see here) and in the medals and ribbons of the Order for National Security Merit (see here). Thus the Cheon-Su Medal (Order for National Security Merit, Third Class) appears to be a close match for the ribbon, however the medal design is different. I have been unable to identify any medals that match the design in the image that you supplied. This indicates to me one of four possibilities for the medal in your picture,

  1. it is the Eulji/Ulchi Medal but the design of the medal and of the ribbon has subsequently changed;
  2. it is not the Eulji/Ulchi Medal but is the third class of the same order (ie the Chungmu Medal) and the design of the medal and of the ribbon has subsequently changed;
  3. it is not the Eulji/Ulchi Medal but is the third class of the Order of National Security Merit (ie the Cheonsu Medal) and the design of the medal has subsequently changed; or
  4. it is not the Eulji/Ulchi Medal and is the third class (most likely) of an as yet unidentified order.

In order to better categorise the file (and rename if appropriate), I would like to resolve what is actually going on. Can you provide any advise as to your sources for the description of the medal in the picture and how confident you are that it has been accurately identified?

Thanks for uploading File:Ed-Doss.jpg. I notice that the file page either doesn't contain enough information about the license or it contains contradictory information about the license, so the copyright status is unclear.

If you created this file yourself, then you must provide a valid copyright tag. For example, you can tag it with {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} to release it under the multi-license GFDL plus Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike All-version license or you can tag it with {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. (See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of license tags that you can use.)

If you did not create the file yourself or if it is a derivative of another work that is possibly subject to copyright protection, then you must specify where you found it (e.g. usually a link to the web page where you got it), you must provide proof that it has a license that is acceptable for Commons (e.g. usually a link to the terms of use for content from that page), and you must add an appropriate license tag. If you did not create the file yourself and the specific source and license information is not available on the web, you must obtain permission through the VRT system and follow the procedure described there.

Note that any unsourced or improperly licensed files will be deleted one week after they have been marked as lacking proper information, as described in criteria for deletion. If you have uploaded other files, please confirm that you have provided the proper information for those files, too. If you have any questions about licenses please ask at Commons:Village pump/Copyright or see our help pages. Thank you.
