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.BotMultichillT (talk) 05:36, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

Ram Narayan
[edit]Hallo! Ich habe die tollen Diabilder von indischen Musikern gesehen, die du hochgeladen hast. Hast du vielleicht auch ein Bild von Ram Narayan? Ich suche schon länger aber finde kein freies Bild. Vielen Dank. Hekerui (talk) 11:37, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
- Ich weiss, dass ich mal auf einem Konzert von ihm war. Möglicherweise habe ich da auch noch undigitalisierte Bilder. Ich kann mal bei Gelegenheit nachschauen. --Alephalpha (talk) 16:05, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
- Hast du schon einmal nachgeschaut? Noch ein Bild würde gut in den Artikel passen. Danke :) Hekerui (talk) 12:51, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

This file is flipped left-to-right. Alla Rakha was right-handed, and played the smaller of the two drums (the tabla) with his right hand.
