Tip: Categorizing images

---

Hello, Trace!

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.

2012 Picture of the Year: A pair of European Bee-eaters in Ariège, France.

Dear Wikimedians,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the second round of the 2013 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year will be the eighth edition of the annual Wikimedia Commons photo competition, which recognizes exceptional contributions by users on Wikimedia Commons. Wikimedia users are invited to vote for their favorite images featured on Commons during the last year (2013) to produce a single Picture of the Year.

Hundreds of images that have been rated Featured Pictures by the international Wikimedia Commons community in the past year were entered in this competition. These images include professional animal and plant shots, breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historical images, photographs portraying the world's best architecture, impressive human portraits, and so much more.

There are two total rounds of voting. In the first round, you voted for as many images as you liked. The top 30 overall and the most popular image in each category have continued to the final. In the final round, you may vote for just one image to become the Picture of the Year.

Round 2 will end on 7 March 2014. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Picture_of_the_Year/2013/Introduction/en Click here to learn more and vote »]

(See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of license tags that you can use.)

your deletion requests

Hi Trace, there is a problem with your 3 SD-requests. These images had been published by you 7 years ago and up-to-now all re-users had been requested to credit you under the given name. Which name shall re-users credit now? As all of them are currently in use on-wiki, simply deleting the file would break all these links. However, I can rev-del the original log-entries and thereby remove the name. But I would ask you to send an email to OTRS stating that these 3 files until today were requested to be credited to <unwantedname>, which was change today to <newname>. --Túrelio (talk) 06:30, 4 May 2015 (UTC)

@Túrelio: thank you for your reply. I would like those files to be credited to "Trace", that's all.

Excuse me to ask, but who shall I send the email to ? Is there a peculiar OTRS email address that deals with that kind of problems ?

All the best, Trace (talk) 21:39, 4 May 2015 (UTC)

I would choose permissions-commons@wikimedia.org or the French one permissions-commons-fr@wikimedia.org. I'll look into the files again tomorrow. Need to go to bed now. --Túrelio (talk) 21:41, 4 May 2015 (UTC)

Please check whether that is enough for you: File:AiguilleCrochedepuislesommetduVeleray.jpg and File:AiguilleCroche.jpg. For File:DomesdeMiage.png, you first need to upload a "new" version over the existing one (might be exactly the same file) just to create a new uploal-log without the real name. --Túrelio (talk) 06:57, 5 May 2015 (UTC)

@Túrelio: perfect ! Thanks a lot ! It is exactly what I wanted. I re-uploaded the file File:DomesdeMiage.png. Shall I also write to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org ? Thank you for taking care of such a minor problem that only concerns me and not the community. Trace (talk) 07:26, 5 May 2015 (UTC)

@Túrelio: I notice you also did it for the last file. I really appreciate. Thank you. Trace (talk) 19:03, 5 May 2015 (UTC)

Yes, to your question. I just want to be sure that when you and I may long have gone from Commons, a re-user who had used the old credit will not get into trouble. OTRS is the best way to have a safe, but (sort of) confidential record. --Túrelio (talk) 20:16, 5 May 2015 (UTC)

@Túrelio: now I understand ! I'll write to OTRS. Thank you. Trace (talk) 20:42, 5 May 2015 (UTC)

Autopatrol given

Hello. I just wanted to let you know that I have granted autopatrol rights to your account; the reason for this is that I believe you are sufficiently trustworthy and experienced to have your contributions automatically marked as "reviewed". This has no effect on your editing, it is simply intended to make it easier for users that are monitoring Recent changes or Recent uploads to find unproductive edits amidst the productive ones like yours. In addition, the Flickr upload feature and an increased number of batch-uploads in UploadWizard, uploading of freely licensed MP3 files, overwriting files uploaded by others and an increased limit for page renames per minute are now available to you. Thank you. ~riley (talk) 04:47, 25 March 2020 (UTC)
