Hello, ZxxZxxZ!
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.

Added category

[edit]

Hello. I see you added "Category:Politicians" to File:Saddam rumsfeld.jpg. I wonder why. I see the image already has categories for "Donald Rumsfeld" and for "Saddam Hussein". Is the category for one of the other men seen in the background? If so, do you know their name? If not, why do you think this category should be added here? Thank you for your time. -- Infrogmation (talk) 11:59, 10 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Yes, the person on the right is Tariq Aziz. In this video, he appeares in the first milliseconds (the one who raises his hand) as well as seconds 40–45, and, since Saddam shaked hands with that American person next to Rumsfeld (see the video), I thought he may be a politician. — Z 15:20, 10 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the reply. I see we didn't have a category for Tariq Aziz, so I've started one. Cheers, Infrogmation (talk) 16:02, 10 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Quranic Manuscript Writtern by Ali (as)

[edit]

Hi, do you know whether there is any picture of the Qur'anic manuscripts that are thought to be written by Imam Ali (as) in com.wiki? Regards, Taha (talk) 04:30, 12 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Taha, as far as I know there are two manuscripts believed to be the Mushaf, one is in the Library of Imam Ali Shrine in Najaf and another one is in Astan Qods Razavi museum,[1] we can't upload the latter because of its permission (unless we take a picture ourselves), but I found two image of that of Imam Ali Shrine's Library and uploaded them here and here (Btw we can crop the image and remove those writings later) --Z 13:14, 12 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Perfect. Thanks. I'll crop and use them. One more question: After croping, should I upload in Commons or Fa.Wiki? Taha (talk) 15:19, 12 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
No problem, in Commons (click on "Upload a new version of this file" at the end of file's page) --Z 15:31, 12 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Done. Sorry, one last question: Regarding the captions for the pictures: do you have a reliable source saying the manuscripts date back to 1st century AH? Because Mahmoud Ramyar says many of the manuscripts known as Mushaf Ali can't be authentic. Taha (talk) 15:39, 12 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Unfortunately not (I just wrote that based on the information here) --Z 16:32, 12 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
No Problem. Thanks.
BTW, there are a couple of other manuscripts (incorrectly) thought to be written by Imam Ali, like the one in Egypt. You can find a list of them in Ramyar's book. Taha (talk) 22:16, 12 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Arabic architecture in Indonesia

[edit]

Hello, I wonder why you have redirected this category. There has been a trend in Indonesia since the 1980s to impose Arabic architecture on new mosques. You can see that there is a vernacular Islamic architecture with indigenous features. Today only mosques built by the government retain the traditional three-roofed Indonesian style. Not all Muslim in Indonesia, especially the educated ones, are happy about this "arabisation" of Islam in Indonesia. This sensitivity has to be taken into account. This is why I created the category. By removing it, you are only vindicating those Muslim in Indonesia who want to "arabise" Islam in the country, Humboldt (talk) 20:41, 21 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, you're right, forgive me for the mistake. --Z 20:48, 21 November 2012 (UTC)

Well, I suppose that being Iranian, you understand the issue... :-) Humboldt (talk) 20:51, 21 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No, red categories are absolutely not necessary at all! Please check my blue categories of File:Kunstobjekte aus Iran, Susa, 1 Jts. v.C. (2).jpg, to which you added very similar red categories. In some occasions it might be necessary to add a new category, which is initially red but should be made blue by adding the appropriate higher level category. --NearEMPTiness (talk) 18:01, 12 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Reliefs

Hi ZxxZxxZ! :) Two little questions:

  1. Do you have sources for dating (254 AD) of Bishapur relief II and Bishapur relief III? I found a source for the first one.
  2. Does Persian Wiki have articles of these reliefs?

Excuse my laziness, but I don't want to spend time for searching now. Anyway, even if they don't have articles, and if you give me some proper refs, I'll make comprehensive Wikidata items as soon as possible, like I recently did for Sar Mashhad relief and Sarab-e Bahram relief. --Orijentolog (talk) 18:16, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Wikimedian,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the 2023 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year will be the eighteenth 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 (2023) 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 are all 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.

For your convenience, we have sorted the images into topical categories. Two rounds of voting will be held: In the first round, you may vote for as many images as you like. The top 30 overall and top 5% of most popular images in each category will continue to the final. In the final round, you may vote for just three images to become the Picture of the Year.

Round 1 will end on UTC.

Click here to vote now!

Thanks,
the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee
