Question about File:Median_age.png
[edit]is the File meant to reflect data from 2009 or can it be constantly updated? Also the last edit there was made by a user who lowered Mexico's median age to 20-25 range when all data says its even higher than it was in 2009 (27). Do you know of any other source he may have used?Grmike (talk) 08:18, 5 June 2011 (UTC)grmike
I don't know the source or if the image is accurate. I just noticed that many of the islands had a different colour from the mainland portion of their country. DOSGuy (talk) 13:06, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
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) 12:51, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
