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) 11:31, 13 June 2011 (UTC)

Overwriting existing images
[edit]Hi there,
Thank you for your useful edits you made to existing images.
I've reverted some of these and uploaded the changed versions under new filenames including
- File:PocketPC Compaq iPAQ 3630 (modified version).jpg
- File:InData DAI computer (left angle view) (T Conté) (white bg).jpg
- File:IBMPS1 (light background).jpg and
- File:SAM Coupé (white bg and shadow).jpg
Generally, when making significant changes to existing images (which in this case would include removal of the background and adding artificial shadows), it's a good idea to load them under a new filename.
The overwriting guidelines recommend that (in essence) anything beyond basic corrections- that don't make any material or significant changes to the image- be uploaded separately.
If you could do this for future uploads, that would be helpful.
Thanks again for the edits! All the best, Ubcule (talk) 17:40, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
- Additional; Nice editing on this one especially! Ubcule (talk) 13:37, 10 June 2020 (UTC)
