Hello Jimmarsmars!

Thank you for providing images to Wikimedia Commons. Please keep in mind that images uploaded to Commons should be useful to all users of Wikimedia projects. This is possible only if the images can be found by other people.

To allow others to find the images you uploaded here, the images should be in some place that can be found by navigating the category structure. This means that you should put the images into appropriate topic pages, categories, optionally galleries, or both of them (see Commons:Categories). To find good categories for your images, the CommonSense tool may help.

You can find a convenient overview of your uploaded files in this gallery.

The important point is that the images should be placed in the general structure somewhere. There are a large number of completely unsorted images on Commons right now. If you would like to help to place some of those images where they can be found, please do!

Thank you. BotMultichillT (talk) 06:02, 4 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that images should have a category. I tried to add them a while back as I filled out the form, but my attempt caused me to lose the information I typed in and did not get the category added. I've just tried to add a category to the bottom of the page, but I can't seem to get it to work. I'm having trouble with the vocabulary in the directions. In the past, I added categories to articles, but adding categories to images seems to be different and far more complex. I would like to add more images of Mars when I find them, but I do not want to make a mess for someone else.71.218.64.24 16:54, 10 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Categorization of Mars images

[edit]

Hi! Category:Surface features of Mars is getting overpopulated. I tried tonight to move images to more specific categories. I almost succeeded in getting all the files on one page, so that also all subcategories get displayed. It would be helpful if you would also use subcategories. Regards, /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 21:59, 2 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That sounds like a good idea. How would I find the subcategories? I tried looking for them a day or so ago, and could not find them.````
Some are listed at the top of the first page of Category:Surface features of Mars, and there are more on the second page. And of course there are othe categories in the category:Mars-tree (not everything is logically ordered). You may also need to create new categories. Have fun! /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 22:50, 2 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Better source request for Image:Slide14.JPG

[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:Slide14.JPG. You provided a source, but it is difficult for other users to examine the copyright status of the image because the source is incomplete. Please consider clarifying the exact source so that the copyright status may be checked more easily. It is best to specify the exact web page where you found the image, rather than only giving the source domain or the URL of the image file itself. Please update the image description with a URL that will be more helpful to other users in determining the copyright status.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source in a complete manner. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. If you have any questions please ask them at the help desk or me at my talkpage. Thank you. Magog the Ogre (talk) 05:17, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Adding categories

[edit]

Before adding descriptive categories to images, such as "Labyrinthi on Mars", check to see if the image is already part of that category through a parent cat. For example, with File:28370noctis.jpg, that image is in the category "Noctis Labyrinthus" which is already part of the Labyrinthi category. There's no need for such double categorisation...it just clutters those higher level categories. Let me know if you have any questions. Huntster (t @ c) 03:39, 7 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Jim, why did you readd the "Impact craters on Mars" category with this edit? It is already part of that category through Category:Asimov crater and is redundant. Please be more careful. Huntster (t @ c) 16:33, 8 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I'm just confused about the categories. I was trying to have as many as possible. 2601:1:9700:C51:480:4951:AD55:2327 18:56, 8 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Remember, categories are a means of navigation. If single images are in multiple categories in the same category tree, it makes navigation much more difficult. Always choose the category/categories that are the most detailed and focused for any particular category tree. Don't be afraid to ask questions if you're unsure of a particular best practice or how to do something. Huntster (t @ c) 01:54, 9 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Category discussion warning

The odd and beautiful of mars has been listed at Commons:Categories for discussion so that the community can discuss ways in which it should be changed. We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at its entry.

If you created this category, please note that the fact that it has been proposed for discussion does not necessarily mean that we do not value your kind contribution. It simply means that one person believes that there is some specific problem with it. If the category is up for deletion because it has been superseded, consider the notion that although the category may be deleted, your hard work (which we all greatly appreciate) lives on in the new category.

In all cases, please do not take the category discussion personally. It is never intended as such. Thank you!

This media may be deleted.
Thanks for uploading File:Mottled terrain ESP 080653 2255.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.
