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) 13:13, 11 August 2011 (UTC)

File:LWE Commemorative Stamp.jpg has been marked as a possible copyright violation. Wikimedia Commons only accepts free content—that is, images and other media files that can be used by anyone, for any purpose. Traditional copyright law does not grant these freedoms, and unless noted otherwise, everything you find on the web is copyrighted and not permitted here. For details on what is acceptable, please read Commons:Licensing. You may also find Commons:Copyright rules useful, or you can ask questions about Commons policies at the Commons:Help desk. 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. (It is not necessary to request undeletion if using VRT; the file will be automatically restored at the conclusion of the process.) Warning: Wikimedia Commons takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

New Orleans pix
[edit]Hi. Are you based back in New Orleans now, or just passing thru? Either way, great to see more New Orleans pix being contributed. Also, are you the photographer of File:James A. Knight, MD.jpg? Do you have New Orleans pix from the 1990s you might share? I'd like to find a free licensed pic of Parasol's back before the porch blew off in Katrina! Ah, so many things I wish I'd photographed back in the day. Red beans & ricely, -- Infrogmation (talk) 01:38, 23 June 2012 (UTC)
- I just pass through NOLA, although I lived in NOLA for 23+ years. I probably have NOLA from the 90s that I could make available but I would have to do some digging to find suitable photos. With respect to Knight, that photo was a collaboration with his widow, who, incidentally, may qualify as a notable person herself. She is a woman of science.Nolabob (talk) 22:35, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

Copyright status: File:Jensen early career.jpg
[edit]Copyright status: File:Jensen early career.jpg
This media may be deleted. |
Thanks for uploading File:Jensen early career.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. |

Solari's
[edit]I started Category:Solari's, New Orleans. Should you be in the mood to start another New Orleans history article, Solari's may be a worthwhile subject, perhaps. Hope all's well with you. Cheers, -- Infrogmation of New Orleans (talk) 20:15, 11 May 2024 (UTC)
- By coincidence, having just finished the upgrades to the article about New Orleanian Edward Baquet, I was now thinking about possible next projects. Solari's may well be a good choice. Let me see what information I can pull together about this subject. I might be getting back to you. Thanks for thinking of me. Nolabob (talk) 01:41, 12 May 2024 (UTC)
- The Wikipedia article on Solari's is now complete. Thanks again for the suggestion. Nolabob (talk) 11:41, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
