Nice to see you here

Greetings from "Archivalia" --Historiograf 21:14, 30 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wonderful

Peacay, you've done wonderfully. One thing you can do in addition to creating categories is to create galleries (e.g., Gustave Doré) to organize (and optionally caption) each thumbnail in a set. It's useful for sets where order or subcategorization matters. Also, when you link to a Wikipedia article, you can use the prefix "w:" and create a wikilink rather than an external link: "[[w:Gustave Doré|Doré]]" results in Doré.

Hello, Peacay!

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.

more precisions on an Ethiopian icon

Hello,

I was wondering if you have more information about this icon

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/72/Baptism_-_Ethiopian_Biblical_Manuscript_U.Oregon_Museum_Shelf_Mark_10-844.jpg

Metadata says:

Description University of Oregon Museum of Natural and Cultural History, Shelf Mark 10-844 - Ethiopian biblical manuscript Date 20th century Source Hill Museum & Manuscript Library

Author Unknown author

But, do you have full reference of the manuscript that holds this icon? Where was it originally kept? Is this really 20th C.?

Thanks a lot,

It's 13 years ago. The only thing I can do for you is point you to the blog post I put together out of which the image you are interested in derives. http://bibliodyssey.blogspot.com/2007/11/ethiopian-manuscripts.html

Good luck.
