  • All your uploads are stored in your personal Gallery
  • Please sign your name on Talk pages by typing ~~~~
  • Use the CommonSense tool to find good categories for your files (then other people can find them too!)
  • To link to an image page, write this: [[:Image:Foo.jpg]], it makes this: Image:Foo.jpg
  • If you're copying files from another project, be sure to use the CommonsHelper
Made a mistake?
  • Did you want to rename or move a file? Simply upload the file again and mark the old one like this: {{bad name|Correct name}}

(P.S. Would you like to provide feedback on this message?)

Hi Tom! I'm reverting your edits on Image:Diademed Sifaka (Propithecus diadema).jpg because one must put medias only in distinct categories. Read Commons:Categories (and more specifically the over-categorization section) to understand why. Thanks! — Xavier, 20:34, 17 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, and by the way, you must put medias in categories that exist (or else create them). — Xavier, 20:36, 17 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Proposal concerning User PH-n templates

[edit]

Hi, there is a proposal and vote concerning the {{User PH-0}},...,{{User PH-3}} templates, that you may be interested in. --Tony Wills 10:56, 18 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Your own category

[edit]

Hi Tom. I've noticed that you'd like to tag your own images with something like "Photographs by Tom Junek". Here is the best way to do it:

  • Add the line [[Category:Photographs by User:Tom Junek]] to your images
  • Create Category:Photographs by User:Tom Junek (click on this red link) and just add the line [[Category:User galleries|Tom Junek]] into the source.

Now you have your own category with your pictures inside it. For more information, see Commons:User-specific galleries, templates and categories policy. Regards. — Xavier, 21:48, 21 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

In case you didn't notice, my answer is on my talk page. Bye. — Xavier, 11:53, 22 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Tom Junek!
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.

Hello Tom Junek,

Thank you for your beautyful giant elands! Would be useful, to know, where they were taken. Was it in Niokolo-Koba? Regards,--Altaileopard (talk) 01:21, 10 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ditto to Altaileopard! Do please add locations to all your photos, it will increase their value markedly. Thanks! - MPF (talk) 23:21, 6 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
