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) 10:37, 20 October 2010 (UTC)

[edit]Please provide exact sources as to where the images that you have composited come from (a link suffices in most cases). If no valid soures are available in seven days the file will be deleted. If you read this too late or if you didn't have time within seven days and the file is already deleted, please do not re-upload the same work. Instead, request undeletion of this one over here: Commons:Undeletion requests. In your request, please provide the sources. The file will than be available for use again. –Krinkletalk 16:10, 6 November 2010 (UTC)
