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) 10:49, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

Spelling error on Kings Island Windseeker
[edit]Hi. At the upper left of File:Kings Island WindSeeker from Eiffel Tower Break Down Modified.png, "countries" should be "country's". Best, --Stfg (talk) 17:45, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

- (talk page stalker) Go to either here or here and you can upload anything you find. Those two license searches are appropriate.--Astros4477 (talk) 05:02, 2 February 2013 (UTC)
- Does it have roller coaster photos? --Starship9000 (talk) 16:12, 2 February 2013 (UTC)
- Yes. You might not be able to find every roller coaster but there are a lot.--Astros4477 (talk) 21:42, 2 February 2013 (UTC)
- Are they compatible with our license? --Starship9000 (talk) 23:59, 8 February 2013 (UTC)

I uploaded one of Viper at Magic Mountain and Petronas Towers so should I keep them and I did not claim it my own work, I clicked the buttom "not my own work" and it is from flickr. Also, were can you find pictures of Legendary Pokemons because I want to upload one of cool Legendaries and also cool pokemons like Dragonite and Tryinator? I dont want to get it from bulbapedia. Thanks! And please respond below this message. --Starship9000 (talk) 16:30, 3 March 2013 (UTC)

Hey
[edit]I heard your friend D497 is going on MS Oaisis of the Seas. Is that correct? --Starship9000 (talk) 14:30, 6 March 2013 (UTC)
- How does this relate to Wikimedia Commons? TBrandley (what's up) 01:11, 7 March 2013 (UTC)
- My friend? I am "D497" (Dom497)!--Dom497 (talk) 23:27, 17 March 2013 (UTC)
issues I have been having on wikipedia
[edit]How can I solve my issues that I have been having on Wikipedia? --Starship9000 (talk) 01:23, 9 March 2013 (UTC)
- I'm afraid you can't. It's best to serve the block and come back in a year. I'd also advise you to stop using the IP address.--Astros4477 (talk) 22:10, 9 March 2013 (UTC)

More of a formality, as we already discussed this image at English Wiki. I have no idea, if French Wikipedia allows fair-use (?), or i would have replaced it there aswell. GermanJoe (talk) 20:03, 3 June 2013 (UTC)
speedy-tagging
[edit]Hi Dom497, when speedy-tagging files such as this, please do not write "url=" but "1=", because otherwise the rationale is not displayed and the processing admin needs to open the edit-window to read it. --Túrelio (talk) 06:40, 10 June 2013 (UTC)
- Oh ok, thanks for letting me know! That was my first time adding a tag like that as I hardly do things on the Commons :P .--Dom497 (talk) 21:04, 10 June 2013 (UTC)
