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) 11:10, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

If you have a permission from Manuel Carbonell to publish this photo (he and his sculpture a visble), please forward it to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org . Thank you.
By the way, I hope I could answer some of your questions on Commons:Help desk#images and needed help in general.
I saw your article. The content is good but not the layout.
That's the way you create == Headings ==
or === Subheadings ===
.
It then looks that way:
Subheading
[edit]SubSubHeading
[edit]MediaWiki software will automatically create the table of contents for you from them and format the heading.
