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) 10:49, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

File source is not properly indicated: File:Kotungallur thampuran.jpg
[edit]This media was probably deleted. |
A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:Kotungallur thampuran.jpg, was missing information about where it comes from or who created it, which is needed to verify its copyright status. The file probably has been deleted. If you've got all required information, request undeletion providing this information and the link to the concerned file (
[[:File:Kotungallur thampuran.jpg]] ).
If you created the content yourself, enter If someone else created the content, or if it is based on someone else's work, the source should be the address to the web page where you found it, the name and ISBN of the book you scanned it from, or similar. You should also name the author, provide verifiable information to show that the content is in the public domain or has been published under a free license by its author, and add an appropriate template identifying the public domain or licensing status, if you have not already done so. Warning: Wikimedia Commons takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

File:Seal_of_Kerala.jpg has been listed at Commons:Deletion requests so that the community can discuss whether it should be kept or not. We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at its entry.
If you created this file, please note that the fact that it has been proposed for deletion 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, such as a copyright issue. Please see Commons:But it's my own work! for a guide on how to address these issues. |

Re:Sanskrit Wikipedia logo
[edit]Hi Naveen,
thank you for the message and your kind words, I appreciate that! As far as the tagline in the logo is concerned, I included that wording simply because it was what Hemant wikikosh (talk · contribs) suggested to me, and it looked like the consensus achieved during the linked dicussion on Sanskrit Wikipedia.
Let me point out that I am unable—and unwilling—to get involved in this discussion due to not being able to read Sanskrit. I understand that having a correct logo is no laughing matter for a Wikipedia community, and I wouldn't like to have to change the tagline back and forth depending on the views of certain community members. I will refrain from making further changes to the logo until you can point me to a community consensus to have it changed; please discuss this (again) with the wider Sanskrit Wikipedia community before turning to me. शुभास्ते पंथानः संतु, odder (talk) 11:25, 8 April 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:कॊडुङ्ङल्लूर् कुञ्ञिक्कुट्टन् तम्पुरान्.png. 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.

[edit]You are receiving this message because you voted in R1 of the 2016 Picture of the Year contest.
Dear Naveen Sankar,
Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the second round of the 2016 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year will be the eleventh edition of the annual Wikimedia Commons photo competition, which recognizes exceptional contributions by users on Wikimedia Commons. Wikimedia users are invited to vote for their favorite images featured on Commons during the last year (2016) to produce a single Picture of the Year.
Hundreds of images that have been rated Featured Pictures by the international Wikimedia Commons community in the past year were entered in this competition. These images include professional animal and plant shots, breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historical images, photographs portraying the world's best architecture, impressive human portraits, and so much more.
There are two total rounds of voting. In the first round, you voted for as many images as you liked. In Round 1, there were 1475 candidate images. There are 58 finalists in Round 2, comprised of the top 30 overall as well as the top #1 and #2 from each sub-category.
In the final round, you may vote for just one or maximal three image to become the Picture of the Year.
Round 2 will end on 20 April 2017, 23:59:59 UTC.
Thanks,
