Hello, Tony Castle!
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.

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.

Usefull categories please!!!

[edit]

Hi Tony Castle, please keep in mind that only well categorized images can be found by other users. Unfortunately you are categoring very bad. For instance in your File:BAVIERA. Füssen. Cascada del río Lech.jpg not any of the categories works - as the red links show!

I urgently suggest to stop uploading for a while. First read Commons:Categories and learn how to categorize!!! -- Ies (talk) 17:30, 1 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Usefull categories please!!!

Why do you keep on categorizing wrong even after I explained you are wrong? Stop and think! -- Ies (talk) 17:54, 1 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Categories on Commons

[edit]

Hello Tony!

Thanks for uploading images on Commons. I see that you are quite new here and the categorization system is not the most obvious thing here - but very important.

The basic language on Commons is English. For the beginning: Please use only the correct existing categories. I suggest it would be the best if you put all your photographs of Munich in Category:Munich and photographs of Bavaria in Category:Bavaria. After that you can brows for better categories, or others can do this.

Thanks in advance for helping and uploading.

Your photos are good and welcome. Please consider to continue uploading. Greetings, High Contrast (talk) 19:06, 1 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
