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.CategorizationBot (talk) 16:05, 14 September 2011 (UTC)
- Image:Apollonio di Giovanni, Tod des Laokoon, Deckfarbenminiatur Florenz Riccardiana Cod. 492 fol. 78 v.png was uncategorized on 13 September 2011 CategorizationBot (talk) 16:05, 14 September 2011 (UTC)
- Good joke. If you wouldn't be a bot, you would have seen that I missed to categorize one (!) image while all other ones are categorized properly. Πυλαιμένης (talk) 09:57, 3 October 2011 (UTC)
Missing pictures
[edit]Dear Πυλαιμένης,
You uploaded a beautiful allegory of Music from a manuscript of Martianus Capella's "De Nuptiis". I cannot find any other illustration by the same painter. Especially the allegories of Dialectic, Geometry, and Arithmetic are very interesting for me. Do you have any information about them and if possible, to upload them?

New Request
[edit]Thanks to information you have given I found the publication of the manuscript. However, the resolution I was able to reach downloading the reproductions was only 1,200x1,700 while the picture you uploaded was 2,388x3,301. How did you achieve this? I am Vladimir Sotirov from Bulgaria and my e-mail is vlsotATmath.bas.bg. Thank you in advance!
- @VladimirSotirov: It has been a while since I worked on that file. Can you send me a link to the image where you tried to download it in full size? Best, Πυλαιμένης (talk) 22:26, 21 March 2020 (UTC)
- Hello Πυλαιμένης I am also looking for more than one folio of the Navigatio Sancti Brendani that you uploaded and I can not find. Can you help me with more images of the same source for a project? I am interested in the folios that contain the chapter 25 of the Navigatio and there are no more images online rather than yours. Help! 5.12.174.113 13:11, 31 March 2023 (UTC)
