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.CategorizationBot (talk) 11:37, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

File:Britain declares war--Daily Mail Aug 5, 1914.jpg
[edit]Hi Professor Jensen! Thanks for all the amazing work you do on here. Just pinging you about this photo-the history of printing and fonts is a big interest of mine and from details of the digital-smooth typesetting I'm certain that this file is a remake of the original article done after the 1980s, maybe from some commemorative volume with a title like The Daily Mail Through History. (I explain my reasoning on the file talk page.) I don't have a way to prove this as I don't have access to an archive with the right date, so I thought I'd alert you in case you do or wanted to source a replacement image if it's out of copyright in the USA.
