PRC flag
[edit]You were not blocked, but given how many times the file is used, it had to be locked so instead of users going back and forth over colors (like what has happened in the past), we can decided then change. User:Zscout370 (Return fire) 15:51, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
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) 10:55, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

Presumably you want a white bacground, not transparent... AnonMoos (talk) 10:25, 12 February 2011 (UTC)
- Yeah, you're right. But I don't know how to make the background white, sigh Andyso (talk) 11:42, 12 February 2011 (UTC)
- Just add a white rectangle the same size as the whole image... AnonMoos (talk) 18:52, 12 February 2011 (UTC)
