File formats
[edit]Hi PERod and welcome to Wikimedia Commons. Are you into a science project, where several of your colleagues or fellow students are uploading similar images of molecule structures? To an outsider the pattern of uploads looks rather strange. Could you (or your teacher) please explain the context in a few words? The JPEG format used for these line drawings is not the best choice of file format. If you're putting all this effort into this project, you could pick a better format such as SVG or PNG. --LA2 (talk) 19:05, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
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.BotMultichillT (talk) 06:11, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
