Categories
[edit]Hi, and thanks for contributing your work to Commons!
While working on keeping the top-level category Buildings tidy, I noticed some of your uploads popping up there, and I thought perhaps you could use some advice on how categories work here on Commons.
Categories are not like tags that you find on Flickr or on blogs. Instead, they represent a structured hierarchy of concepts, where top level categories are split into more detailed subcategories.
This means that instead of placing files in top-level categories like Buildings or Florida, you should place them in the most specific subcategories you can find, like Buildings in Jacksonville, Florida.
It also means that you should avoid placing files into parent categories of those specific categories. In other words, if you place a file in Jacksonville, Florida (or one of its subcategories like Buildings in Jacksonville, Florida), don't put it in Florida.
In addition to avoiding overly generic categories, you should also avoid placing files into redirected categories or disambiguation categories. For example, Renovation redirects to Category:Restoration (so use that instead, or even better: a more specific category like Restoration of buildings), and Historic buildings is a disambiguation category (so use a subcategory of one or more of the categories mentioned there).
For more examples of what this means in practice, you can have a look at the changes I made to Construction on Haydon Burns Library, and for more details, see Commons:Categories. (I also changed Art deco buildings to Mid-century modern, because that's how Hardwick's work in general and this building in particular seem to be described by various sources.)
I hope that's not too much information at once. Don't worry too much about perfect categorization, but if you're able to follow some of this advice, it will reduce the housekeeping workload and make your photos easier to find. Cheers, —LX (talk, contribs) 20:29, 8 December 2014 (UTC)
Wikimedia Commons does not accept derivative works of non-free works such as File:Pokémon Yellow Version on Super Gameboy.jpg. It only accepts free content, which is images and other media files that can be used by anyone, for any purpose. Reproductions of copyrighted works are also subject to the same copyright, and therefore this file must unfortunately be considered non-free. For more information, please read Commons:Derivative works and Commons:Freedom of panorama. You can ask questions about Commons policies in Commons:Help desk.
The file you added has been deleted. If you believe that this file was not a derivative work of a non-free work, you may request undeletion.
