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) 10:59, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

Die Quelle gibt mehr her als du daraus machst. Es gibt eine höhere Auflösung (Link am oberen Bildrand), es gibt einen Autoren (Credit), die Quelle ist direkt verlinkbar (Einmal auf "Email this Record" klicken um Emailfenster zu öffnen, dort steht der Link drin), es gibt eine bessere Beschreibung als "Johnson Treatment", was die Quelle im übrigen so überhaupt nicht hergibt, es können bessere Dateinamen gewählt werden. --Martin H.

File tagging File:Hyatt-center.jpg
[edit]This media was probably deleted.
|
Thanks for uploading File:Hyatt-center.jpg. This media is missing permission information. A source is given, but there is no proof that the author or copyright holder agreed to license the file under the given license. Please provide a link to an appropriate webpage with license information, or ask the author or copyright holder to send an email with copy of a written permission to VRT (permissions-commons@wikimedia.org). You may still be required to go through this procedure even if you are the author yourself; please see Commons:But it's my own work! for more details. After you emailed permission, you may replace the {{No permission since}} tag with {{subst:PP}} on file description page. Alternatively, you may click on "Challenge speedy deletion" below the tag if you wish to provide an argument why evidence of permission is not necessary in this case.
Please see this page for more information on how to confirm permission, or if you would like to understand why we ask for permission when uploading work that is not your own, or work which has been previously published (regardless of whether it is your own). The file probably has been deleted. If you sent a permission, try to send it again after 14 days. Do not re-upload. When the VRT-member processes your mail, the file can be undeleted. Additionally you can request undeletion here, providing a link to the File-page on Commons where it was uploaded ([[:File:Hyatt-center.jpg]] ) and the above demanded information in your request. |

Recategorization Lyndon B. Johnson in x year images in specific sub-categories to the parent and redirecting the sub-categories
[edit]Hello,
I noticed that you recategorized the images within the sub-categories Lyndon B. Johnson in 1966, 1968, and 1971 back into the parent category Lyndon B. Johnson and redirected the sub-categories to the parent without explanation. I am not understanding why you would not want to make a large category (~200+ media) less, not more focused, by not allowing for specific year by year categories. Recategorizing these images to the parent makes it more crowded (diffuse) and less easy to navigate. People by year categories are appropriate to use and are in place among numerous categories.
To use a contemporary example: recategorizing all of the media in Barack Obama by year into the parent category Barack Obama would make no sense at all given that there are 1,000+ images in this subcategory. Lyndon B. Johnson is a smaller category, but the same principles apply. The specific year subcategories also fit into both the parent as well as the X person by x year categories - putting an image into both of these separately is not good categorization practice where a specific sub-category covering both would work. I have thus restored these 3 categories and created another one specifically for 1967. If you have other thoughts on this, please discuss, but I would consider recategorizing the images back again to the parent and redirecting the sub-categories a disruptive step backwards. Thanks.
