Hello, Mtaylor848!
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.

Categorization

Thanks for the comment. I tend to load up images first with any obvious category (or obviously useful) category and add more categories later. So further thanks for doing this for me. The categorization tool I don't find particularly helpful. I was not aware of some because of the variation between e.g. pubs and public houses, religious buildings and places of worship.

Thank you for providing images to Wikimedia Commons. Please keep in mind that images and other files on Commons must be under a free license and should be useful to the Wikimedia projects. To allow others to use your files, some additional information must be given on the description page. Most importantly:
  • Describe what it is about in a short sentence. (What does the image show?)
  • State the author and the date of creation. If you made it yourself, say so explicitly. If it is from another Wikimedia user, link to the person's local user page. Best to use CommonsHelper.
  • If you did not create the file yourself, state the source you got it from.
  • Add a copyright tag - images without an appropriate license tag will be deleted.
  • Add the image to one or more gallery pages and/or appropriate categories, so it can be found by others. To find out where an image belongs, you can use CommonsSense.

If you copied the file from another wiki, please copy all information given there and say who uploaded it to that wiki. Use CommonsHelper.

It is recommended to use Template:Information to put that information on the description page. Have a look at Template talk:Information for details of the use of this template.

You can edit the description page and change the text. Uploading a new version of the file does not change the description of the file.

Please add as much information as possible. If there is not sufficient information, the file may have to be deleted. For more information, follow the Commons:First steps guide. If you need help or have questions, please ask at the Help desk.

Thank you.

Featured picture candidates

Hello,

I'm sorry, but I had to oppose to your three nominations. No image of these nominations meets the guidelines for featured pictures. You can find the complete guidelines here. The picture are valuable for the wikipedia, but featured picture means something special. Thanks for supporting the community. MatthiasKabel (talk) 20:25, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

Location of "Main street, Menston"

Good day Mtaylor,

Been having a viddy at your recent uploads. Have I got the location right here? Ottre 10:47, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

Leeds images

Hi Mtaylor, thanks for the kind comments and support. I have added more categories etc and have uploaded about 30 Leeds images so far. I took the pics last weekend on a flying visit. Best wishes. Ardfern (talk) 21:45, 19 September 2009 (UTC)

FPC

Have you read the guidelines for FPC at all, as it was suggested in may by Matthias Kabel? With your recent nominations, you have 10 Featured Pictures Candidates nominations that have unanimously been considered below standard, including 7 FPX! Don't get me wrong, I really do think your hundreds of photos uploads on commons are wonderful, independent of their individual qualities, and I do not question your work outside FPC at all. But, as for FPC contributions, comments like yours here and here indicates that you do have some critical judgment towards photography, which is not reflected at all on your nominations. So, take some time to read the guidelines, to compare your future nominations with existing FPs and to ask questions to regular users (I might be a bit harsh on the FPC battlespace, but I'm really not that bad when you talk with me on the side. I'd help you if you'd ask for it, no problems) before nominating other images, and you'll easily break the spell that overshadowed all your nominations up to now. --S23678 (talk) 01:23, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

Nominations for Featured Picture

From tim green aka atoach:

I would really appreciate it if you did not nominate any more of my flickr pictures for Featured Picture, and if you withdrew the nominations you have already made.

I despise competitions and never enter them; furthermore I do not like self-appointed critics dismissing my pictures in a public forum.

I am sure you meant well but was angry and upset when I stumbled across the fact that my pictures were being dragged over the coals behind my back. Tdgreen (talk) 11:14, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

Category:Churches with spires

Hi, i saw "your" Category Category:Churches with spires. With which pictures do want to fill the category? I think there are enough others, where the pictures could be categorised. So the Category is not relevant?

Best greetings ;-) --++gardenfriend++ (talk) 21:38, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

Public footpaths in Leeds

Did you intend to create a gallery with this name or did you create it by mistake before creating Category:Public footpaths in Leeds?

  • If you intended a gallery, add some images or it will be deleted.
  • If it's a mistake, then blank it and add {{badname|Category:Public footpaths in Leeds}} and it will be deleted by an administrator. (And don't worry about the mistake --it happens to all of us.). . . . Jim . . . . Jameslwoodward (talk • contribs) 13:10, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

Blanking

Hi Mtaylor848,
Thank you for your contributions to Commons. I noticed you blanked Category:2010 in Salford on Commons. I asume you meant for the page to be deleted, but blanking the page is not the right way to do this. I'd like to strongly recommend to use {{speedy|reason here}} and add it on top of the page you would like to be deleted; This way it will be placed on a special list that administrators check regulary for deletion. Without this it might take a long time before it's noticed. Thanks again. 16:42, 19 April 2010 (UTC)–Krinkletalk

Walworth Castle images

Bother - I'll have to go back and correct all the dates now. Yes, you're right, and I thought I had dated it correctly. I'm copying and pasting the main form for the lot, and there are loads of them (in categories Walworth Gate and Walworth, County Durham). Botheration. But thank you for kindly letting me know before I do any more.Storye book (talk) 12:06, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

All corrected now. Sorry if it caused you inconvenience, and thanks for the timely alert. Storye book (talk) 12:46, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

  • On closer inspection you're probably right. I shall make the ammendment when I get a minute, but I've a million and one things to do on commons and about a similar number of images to upload. Thank you for pointing out this ommision, I have only worked with turbine meters, orifice plates, venturi tubes and ultra-sonic metering devices before, hense my failure to notice its type.

Category

Hi,

It appears that you've added some misleading categories to some of the ultimate pages I've downloaded since most of them are not related with the city of Rome but some distinct cities in Lazio. It would be great if you could double-check that. Bye.--LPLT (talk) 18:15, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

Edinburgh Castle photos

HI, Yes, the dates in the metadata are correct! The hour is one hour off however. Thus 8h00 (Central European Summer Time) was 7h00 local time. I did not add dates because these are in the metadata. AdMeskens (talk) 16:58, 4 September 2010 (UTC)

please stop spamming with categories

Hello, please stop spamming old buildings with categories 2010 in... sept 2010 in.. Those are a completely distorted categories for these images. --Havang(nl) (talk) 15:21, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

I sense it as category spamming: please don't do that. 2010 is completely outdated for these buildings; 2010 is used for events, these are buildings, look for appropriate architecture dating categories if you want to put dates. --Havang(nl) (talk) 16:08, 14 September 2010 (UTC)
I know those categories. Do you really think you can filll in by hand such categories? If the wikipedian community wants those, a bot finds date stamps and can add tenth of thousands of images to those categories in a nighttime; but those categories are not for putting picturs by date in it; these are for dated events. Yiou mayt ask a bot, they won't do this the way you do it five or ten at a time. You are wasting your time (and mine). The dates of the pictures are already fully searchable, see e.g. statistics at pages like http://toolserver.org/~reports/?wiki=commonswiki_p&report=wlm_uploaders concerning september uploads wikilovbes monuments, so there is no need for the type of photo date category you apply.

File:Ferry at Birkenhead and ferry at Pier Head - DSC00659.JPG

Hello Mtaylor848,

Firstly, you've tirelessly added date categories to many photos uploaded by me. Thanks very much for your dedication and hard work!

Regarding this file File:Ferry at Birkenhead and ferry at Pier Head - DSC00659.JPG. I'm not sure what would be the correct date category - it's not straightforward. I don't think "September 2010 in Liverpool" is completely incorrect as I was indeed standing at Pier Head, Liverpool when I took the photo.

However, the ferry on the left of the shot "DFDS Seaways", is at the Twelve Quays ferry terminal in Birkenhead, which is not in Liverpool. (as you may know) The Mersey Ferry on the right of the shot has just departed the Pier Head ferry terminal and is therefore technically in Liverpool, so the cat is correct in that respect.

However, it could be argued that "September 2010 in Merseyside" would be a more appropriate cat for this one as the whole shot is at least in Merseyside (The boundary between Liverpool and Wirral metropolitan boroughs runs along the middle of the River Mersey at this point), but it's not really that important.

I just thought I'd let you know part of the shot is not in Liverpool (so theoretically someone familiar with Liverpool/Merseyside could take it upon themselves to remove your added cat), and also of course I wanted to take the opportunity to thank you for your previous work,

Please leave the cat if you think best, I'm happy to let you decide.

Cheers!, Green Lane (talk) 15:38, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply. To be fair, my current description of that image is also potentially misleading as I haven't got around yet to updating the descriptions of this latest set of photos (As usual, I'll probably be doing that in a few days or so). I agree with your decision, Regards. Green Lane (talk) 15:52, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

Manchester September 2010

You have dated a couple of images from my latest uploads. Special:Contributions/ClemRutter I am uncertain as to how you find your target images, or whether you use a bot. If you are short of new images, then please have a look at my contribution list- there are usually many images taken in one spot in the space of a couple of days- which ought to make hunting a lot easier.--ClemRutter (talk) 23:03, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

Re: montages

Hi, the only montage that I have made for the commons is File:Sheffield montage.jpg. I used Adobe Illustrator to do it, but you could probably use just about any image editing software package (you might even be able to use something like powerpoint). The most difficult part for me was choosing a selection of photos that would represent the subject well but also fit together nicely in a rectangle. Once I'd chosen the images I downloaded them and loaded them all and placed them in an illustrator artboard, moving around and resizing as needed, and then exporting as a jpg. In order to get all the images to fit some of them are cropped a bit in the montage; particularly the panorama at the top. —JeremyA (talk) 18:09, 12 October 2010 (UTC)
