Calmet

Hallo Demut,

warum lädst Du so etwas File:Calmet – Gelehrte Verhandlung der Materi, Von Erscheinungen der Geistern, Und denen Vampiren in Ungarn, Mahren etc – Teil I – 002.jpg als farbiges Bild hoch. Die Farben sind übrigens völlig daneben. Würdest Du beim scannen unter die jeweilige Buchseite schwarzes Papier legen, würde der Text auf der Rückseite weniger durchschlagen.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen

Ist nicht von mir gescannt. Das hat die Unibibliothek Kiel so gemacht. Und das einzig wichtige ist für mich nur, dass der Scan für die Wikisource-Transkribierung gut lesbar ist und nicht wie die Farben aussehen. Wers besser haben will, soll hinfahren und es selber machen (vorausgesetzt, man kriegt das Werk überhaupt ausgehändigt). -- Demut (talk) 12:38, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

I have clarified the licensing of File:Braulio_Rodríguez_Plaza.png with a {self} copyright assignment, as I did not take the picture but it was fully transferred to the archive I maintain of the Archdiocese we both work to, and we all agree with the licensing and publishing. I hope the {no source} tag can be removed now. Thanks, Jemori (talk) 22:13, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

Tip: Categorizing images

---

Hello, Demut!

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.

Important message for file movers

A community discussion has been closed where the consensus was to grant all file movers the suppressredirect user right. This will allow file movers to not leave behind a redirect when moving files and instead automatically have the original file name deleted. Policy never requires you to suppress the redirect, suppression of redirects is entirely optional.

Possible acceptable uses of this ability:

• To move recently uploaded files with an obvious error in the file name where that error would not be a reasonable redirect. For example: moving "Sheep in a tree.jpg" to "Squirrel in a tree.jpg" when the image does in fact depict a squirrel.
• To perform file name swaps.
• When the original file name contains vandalism. (File renaming criterion #5)

Please note, this ability should be used only in certain circumstances and only if you are absolutely sure that it is not going to break the display of the file on any project. Redirects should never be suppressed if the file is in use on any project. When in doubt, leave a redirect. If you forget to suppress the redirect in case of file name vandalism or you are not fully certain if the original file name is actually vandalism, leave a redirect and tag the redirect for speedy deletion per G2.

The malicious or reckless breaking of file links via the suppressredirect user right is considered an abuse of the file mover right and is grounds for immediate revocation of that right. This message serves as both a notice that you have this right and as an official warning. Questions regarding this right should be directed to administrators. --Majora (talk) 21:35, 7 November 2019 (UTC)
