Hello, Ginge1420!
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.

Over-categorization

[edit]

Hi Ginge, please don't over-categorize your images. For instance in your File:AppleGreen.JPG

For further information please read Commons:Categories and particularly paragraph Over-categorization. -- Ies (talk) 14:29, 21 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]


Hi Ginge, don't you understand the meaning of over-categorizing? I wonder why you over-categorize again here. Btw, File:Sultanas2.JPG might better be categorized as raisins. -- Ies (talk) 15:44, 21 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]


Hi Les I uploaded a number of images at the same time so had not received your earlier message. BTW we call them sultanas here in Australia rather than raisins, hence the reason I called them sultanas. I did not even know they were the same thing until I read the article.


Hey

File:PsychedelicArt_-_Skewed_Life.jpg has been listed at Commons:Deletion requests so that the community can discuss whether it should be kept or not. We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at its entry.

If you created this file, please note that the fact that it has been proposed for deletion does not necessarily mean that we do not value your kind contribution. It simply means that one person believes that there is some specific problem with it, such as a copyright issue. Please see Commons:But it's my own work! for a guide on how to address these issues.

Please remember to respond to and – if appropriate – contradict the arguments supporting deletion. Arguments which focus on the nominator will not affect the result of the nomination. Thank you!
