Hello, Bobskol854!
Tip: Add categories to your files
Tip: Add categories to your files

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.

Stanford Medical Center

[edit]

Hi, the City of Phoenix, Arizona is preparing a publication on commercial architecture built between 1945 and 1975. It focuses primarily on Modern architecture but also includes Roadside architecture. We would like to include your photo of the Stanford Medical Center in the publication. This is a non-commercial publication, and we will credit you for the photo, so I believe we are OK to proceed, but will you please verify? Our e-mail address is historic@phoenix.gov. Thanks - Kevin Weight, Senior Planner, City of Phoenix Historic Preservation Office, 200 W Washington St, 17th Floor, Phoenix AZ 85003. Ksweight (talk) 21:46, 9 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
