Tip: Categorizing images

---

Hello, WES1947!

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.

Wiki Loves Monuments 2014 - Wiki4Alps edition

WLM CH (Deutsch) Liebe/r Teilnehmer/in des Wettbewerbs Wiki Loves Monuments CH 2013, Die Ausgabe 2014 des Wettbewerbs Wiki Loves Monuments hat Montag 8 September begonnen. Dieses Jahr fokussiert sich der Schweizer Wettbewerb auf die Region der Alpen. Die vergangenen Wettbewerbe haben ermöglicht, dass mehrere tausend Fotos von Schweizer Denkmälern gesammelt werden konnten. Dank euch hat es auf Wikimedia Commons Bilder von zahlreichen Denkmälern. Jedoch haben wir festgestellt, dass die Denkmäler, welche sich in den alpinen Regionen befinden, dabei nur sehr gering vertreten sind. Aus diesem Grund fokussiert sich der diesjährige Wettbewerb spezifisch auf die Alpen, um auch diesen Lebensraum auf Wikimedia Commons besser dokumentiert vorzufinden. Denkt daran: Hochgeladen werden können die Bilder vom 8.September bis und mit dem 8.Oktober 2014. Um am Wettbewerb teilzunehmen, könnt ihr jedoch auch Bilder hochladen, die ihr zu einem beliebigen Zeitpunkt gemacht habt. Die Fotos müssen nicht während der Wettbewerbszeit entstanden sein. Wikimedia CH organisiert mehrere Wikiexpeditions während dieser Wettbewerbs-Zeit, um Fotos von Denkmälern zu machen, die nur sehr spärlich auf Commons dokumentiert sind. Wenn ihr an diesen Wikiexpeditions teilnehmt, habt ihr auch die Möglichkeit, die Drone von Wikimedia CH im Einsatz zu sehen: Commons:Wiki4Involvement. Habt ihr ausserdem bereits darüber nachgedacht, in euren Familien-Archiven zu stöbern? Vielleicht entdeckt ihr ja den ein oder anderen Schatz aus den 50iger Jahren. Oder habt ihr noch hunderte von Dias, die man digitalisieren könnte? Kontaktiert uns, wir helfen euch gerne dabei! Auf der Wettbewerbsseite http://wiki4alps.ch findet ihr alle notwendigen Informationen, oder ihr könnt euch auch gerne an info@wikimedia.ch wenden. Mit den besten Grüssen, Das Organisationskomittee

Cette année le concours suisse se focalise sur la région des Alpes. Les éditions précédentes du concours ont permis de collecter plusieurs milliers de photos concernant les monuments suisses. Grâce à vous Wikimedia Commons comporte une image pour de nombreux monuments, mais nous avons remarqué que les monuments se situant dans les Alpes sont particulièrement peu représentés. Wikimedia CH organise plusieurs Wikiexpeditions pendant le concours pour aller prendre des photos des monuments peu illustrés dans Commons, en participant à ces Wikiexpeditions vous aurez l'occasion de voir en oeuvre le drone de l'association. Plus d'informations Commons:Wiki4Involvement. Rappelez vous que pour participer au concours, les images peuvent avoir été prises à n'importe quelle période, pas seulement pendant le concours! Avez vous déjà pensé à fouiller dans les archives familiales? Peut-être avez vous quelques trésors de photos datant des années 50! Des centaines de diapositives à numériser ? Contactez-nous, nous pouvons vous aider! Vous trouverez sur le site web du concours http://wiki4alps.ch ou envoyez un e-mail à info@wikimedia.ch.

The previous editions enabled to collect thousands of pictures related to Swiss monuments. Thanks to you, Wikimedia Commons has a picture for many monuments but we realised that the ones located in the Alps were under represented.

Remember that to participate, the pictures may have been taken at any point in time, not only during the present time of the contest. Have you already thought of searching in family archives?

Ricordate che per partecipare al concorso le immagini possono essere prese in qualsiasi momento, non solo durante il concorso! Wikimedia CH organizzerà diverse Wikiexpeditions durante la gara per catturare le immagini di monumenti poco illustrati in Commons, e partecipando a queste Wikiexpeditions si avrà la possibilità di vedere il drone dell'associazione.
