Hello, Randolph.hollingsworth!
Tip: Add categories to your files
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.

Photo(s) of Lily May Atkinson

[edit]

Thanks for leaving the message concerning the issue with these images on my talk page. Firstly I've gone and removed the two images from the Lily Atkinson article. I'm now going to place a request with the WikiCommons administrators that both images be renamed with the correct name of Amy Kirk. Thanks for your research and for letting me know!

Own work

Don't upload other people's photos and claim it as your "own work". Obviously, you were not the photographer of this 1946 shot. Schwede66 23:18, 8 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate your work in clarifying this issue. Randolph.hollingsworth (talk) 00:59, 9 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]


I Just came here to say the same thing. If you do not know the name of the original photographer, studio, or artist, you can use {{Unknown photographer}} or {{Unknown}} (e.g. {{unknown|artist}}). Please also note that merely uploading, scanning, or cropping an existing image created by someone else does not grant you new copyright (just as taping a song from the radio doesn't grant you copyright or ownership of the song). You are not the copyright holder for File:Rev Thomas Buddle 1866.jpg for instance, which is public domain under {{PD-New Zealand}} and {{PD-US-expired}}, and the image should not be given the misapplied and more restrictive CC-by-sa-4.0 license (which restricts how others can reuse the image, e.g. falsely implying that you must be credited). See Help:Public domain and Commons:Copyright rules by territory for mre info. If you have additional questions on which licenses or public domain templates to use for particular images, you can ask a question at Commons:Village pump/Copyright.
