Question
[edit]Why did you make this edit? Please use edit summaries so I do not have to ask in the future. Thank you. --Gmaxwell 21:06, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
I did not understand why this is in WikiMedia. This can be on a personal website, not here. Why do you publish it here? It does not show anything you have to do with WikiMedia only some personal friends I think which are not of interest for the public. Wolfgang
- These are pictures of Wikimania 2006, a Wikimedia conference. Many of the pictures are of people I do not personally know, I posted them at the request of other wikimedians. --Gmaxwell 21:21, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
- I came to this page by chance. Neither the title (wm 2006 to me seemed to be something about the world soccer chanpionship) nor the (missing) text nor anything in the pictures showed to me that this has to do with wikimedia. Perhaps you should make this clearer. Wolfgang
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 05:40, 9 October 2009 (UTC)
