Tip: Categorizing images

Hello, Rfdarsie!

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.

There seems to be a problem regarding the description and/or licensing of this particular file. It has been found that you've added in the image's description only a Template that's not a license and although it provides useful information about the image, it's not a valid license. Could you please resolve this problem, adding the license in the image linked above? You can edit the description page and change the text. Uploading a new version of the file does not change the description of the file. This page may give you more hints on which license to choose. Thank you.

Copyright status: File:Leonid_Pasternak_-_To_the_Relatives.JPG

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading File:Leonid_Pasternak_-_To_the_Relatives.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.

Beaverbrook Art Gallery

Bonjour Rfdarsie,

comme j'habite à Montréal (Qc) et qu'il m'est impossible de me rendre à Fredericton (N.-B.), je me demandais s'il vous serait possible de vous rendre un jour au Beaverbrook Art Gallery afin de prendre une photo de qualité que j'aurais besoin à propos d'une oeuvre spécifique. Il s'agit de l'oeuvre « Le Cumulus Bleu » (1913) du peintre québécois Ozias Leduc (huile sur toile, 92,1 x 61,6 cm). L'oeuvre fut achetée par le musée avec les fonds des amis du Beaverbrook Art Gallery en 1962. En fait, j'aurai besoin d'une photo de l'oeuvre, mais également de l'affiche descriptive située tout près. Merci infiniment à l'avance!! --Thomas1313 (talk) 05:01, 30 January 2015 (UTC)

Hi Rfdarsie,

I am a contributor from Montreal (QC) and because it is impossible for me to go to Fredericton (NB), I was wondering if it would be possible for you to go one day at the Beaverbrook Art Gallery to take a picture of a specific painting, picture I need for several articles on the French Wikipédia. The painting is "Le Cumulus Bleu" (1913) by famous Quebec painter Ozias Leduc (oil on canvas, 92.1 x 61.6 cm). This painting has been purchased by the Beaverbrook Art Gallery in 1962. (Actually, I would require the picture of the painting AND of the description besides of it) Thank you very much in advance !! (Sorry for my poor english) --Thomas1313 (talk) 05:01, 30 January 2015 (UTC)
