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 05:43, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

File:467375960 blb 3666-5(rev 0).jpg -- The Importance of Being Earnest photograph from preformance
[edit]Hi,
Thanks for adding the above photograph, very colourful! I was thinking about using the picture in the Importance of Being Earnest article on wikipedia, and noticed how lacking it is in information. If you added some exact details about the date and location of the preformance, as well as the theatre it might help readers have some more context.
Noticing your username, if the account represents the offical account of an organisation it would be good to point this out. In To using a photo like this one, some-one might be concerned that the theatre or actors had not consented to their image being used. Best, --Ktlynch (talk) 08:47, 2 September 2010 (UTC)
