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 06:34, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
- Image:George Tiller cropped.jpg is uncategorized since 1 June 2009.
- Image:John Dillinger grave.jpg is uncategorized since 6 July 2009.
Please don't simply revert my work without good reason. If you want to make the unprocessed image available, take it from the upload history and upload it separately. Thank you. ~ trialsanderrors (talk) 10:56, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
- Excuse me, but "your work" took the original photo and made changes to it, including removing the border that is the benchmark that helps the viewer identify it distinctly as a photograph unique to the photographer. I'd have to ask why you couldn't be bothered to upload your touched up photo to different page instead of obscuring the original photograph from ready use? Too much effort? Wildhartlivie (talk) 19:21, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
- What I've been doing is so common there are even templates for it: {{Retouched picture}} and {{Remove border}}. The border that you attribute to the original photographer was in fact added by the Library of Congress photographer who took a repro copy of the original print, which, as can be clearly seen, came without border. As regarding "too much effort", I actually put the extra effort in to include the snapshots in the upload history so that users can review the restoration process. If I don't upload the original as a separate file it's because I consider it too flawed to provide separately. You may disagree, but don't just simply revert my work and accuse me of lack of effort, but upload the image in the version you want to make accessible. ~ trialsanderrors (talk) 12:00, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
Glad to see things worked out
[edit]The closure of that deletion request turned up on my watchlist. It's good to see it worked out reasonably. Best wishes, Durova (talk) 19:49, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
[edit]Hello,
The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.
Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Wildhartlivie. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Wildhartlivie~commonswiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.
Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation
