re: guidelines on maps cats category talk:Maps

I really don't care to yell... especially not after admiring your work! Can you generate something like this one (Nice work by the way!) for the drainage basin that drains Thuringia? Ideally with a little relief coloration showing the Harz range and Thuringer Wald and such. (Nice to meetchya!) // FrankB 21:18, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

Ping answer

(In brief-Thanks for Image:Harz_map.png, that's a really good start and will be a big help!)

• My interest in the drainage basin is focused more northerly and east however and is also renewed by the way. (The Hartz map will help with 1632 series which has two new novels to write up properly and the region is integral to the series geopolitics, so this map is great for some of that. Also can be used in articles about all the related pricedoms, duchys, et al which I also work on here and there. So I'm very happy with it! I've put it right into Harz Mountains)
  
  However, the 'drainage basin map' request was somewhat differently focused in a large sense... the Elbe has a tributary which drains the northfaces of the thuringerwald, but the drainage basin map I seek in general should be of great use explaining how the place name Saxony (See that maps dark green territories) has moved upriver over the years from the northwest corner of Old Saxony to the eventual Kingdom of Saxony/Duchy of Saxony and todays derivations such as Lower saxony / Saxony-Anhalt / State of Saxony, which is, iirc, the reason I asked for it, and can use it immediately. In short, I'm hoping explaining some of that history will be easier with a good map as helper. (My mention of relief features and the Harz was perhaps, unfortunate!)
  
  In brief: what was called "Saxony" has migrated over a thousand years, both eastward and southwards, so illustrating that by mapping the Elbe drainage should be useful in making historic relations like that clearer to some degree at least. Sorry my initial request was so unclear. Still interested? With the high usage of 'Saxony' (and derivations like 'Saxe') this can be used in a lot of articles, I would guess. After the basin map is 'put up' in sufficiently high resolution, it can be overlaid or excerpted to focus on the historical region of interest in the given time period. // FrankB 04:47, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

Hallo Omnidoom 999,

Beim o.a. Bild habe ich gerade zwei kleine Fehler in der Beschreibung/Discription entdeckt. Dort steht: „Diese Städte werden Austragungsorte der Fußball-Fauen-WM 2011 sein, falls diese in Deutschland ausgetragen wird.“ Die zwei Fehler sind zum einen das diese 12 Städte lediglich die Bewerbestädte/-Stadion und zum anderen das die WM-2011 der Frauen jetzt sicher in Deutschland ausgetragen wird ([1]). Daher würde ich dich bitten, nochmals drüber zu schauen; Wollte dir da nicht "rumpfuschen". Danke und Gruss — Manecke 15:48, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

Wäre an sich nicht so schlimm gewesen. ;) Ich habe den Satz nun weitgehend ausgebessert.

Hallo Omnidom, würdest du bitte den Namen "Rubinstern" auf deiner Sternkarte zur Position von 119 tauri entsprechend abändern?--Chicygni (talk) 20:47, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

File:Municipalities in DON.svg

Hi Omnidom, you have - according to your comment - made smaller changes to the above mentioned file. May I ask what exactly these changes were? If they're big enough it might be worth to adjust all the other locator maps in the district. Thanks for your reply. --Hagar66 (talk) 08:32, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

Tip: Categorizing images

---

Hello, Omnidom 999~commonswiki!

Tip: Add categories to your files

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.

Your account will be renamed

Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Omnidom 999. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Omnidom 999~commonswiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation
