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.BotMultichillT 06:19, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

Hello. I noticed you changed the source and author of File:Cranfield University Birdseye view.jpg, but left the {{self|cc-by-sa-4.0}} intact. I'm not sure if this was deliberate, or if it's a proper way to use {{Self}}, so I replaced it with the usual {{Geograph}} template that Commons uses for pictures from Geograph. Obviously you're quite entitled to offer a different licence on Commons from the standard Geograph one, so please revert the change if I did the wrong thing. --bjh21 (talk) 12:16, 17 January 2020 (UTC)
