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) 11:05, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

Large number of images you recently uploaded are unfree
[edit]They are unfree because the flickr user doesn't actually own the copyright of those images. Getty Images is the actual copyright holder.Chrishmt0423 (talk) 22:57, 4 April 2013 (UTC)
- I have kept to the upload terms. It is not my fault if the pictures are wrongly declared on flickr! Kochel86 (talk) 23:24, 4 April 2013 (UTC)
- No, I am not blaming you. I am just letting you know. I reviewed the images you uploaded recently and most unfree ones are from flickr user dannyb, who often uploaded images not owned by him. A tip to distinguish unfree image is to look at the description. Sometimes, it says where the images actually come from (photograph companies or media, like Getty Images in this case). The flickr user often neglects to remove it.Chrishmt0423 (talk) 00:45, 5 April 2013 (UTC)
File:Mark Cuban 2011.jpg has been marked as a possible copyright violation.

If you are the copyright holder and the creator of the file, please read Commons:But it's my own work! for tips on how to provide evidence of that.
The file you added has been deleted. If you have written permission from the copyright holder, please have them send us a free license release via COM:VRT. If you believe that the deletion was not in accordance with policy, you may request undeletion.
