Please link images
[edit]
Hello!
Thank you for providing images to the Wikimedia Commons. Please keep in mind that images uploaded to the Commons should be useful to all users of Wikimedia projects. This is possible only if the images can be found by other people.
To allow others to find the images you uploaded here, the images should be in some place that can be found by navigating the category structure. This means that you should put the images into appropriate topic pages, categories, optionally galleries, or both of them (see Commons:Categories). To find good categories for your images, the CommonSense tool may help.
You can find a convenient overview of your uploaded files in this gallery.
The important point is that the images should be placed in the general structure somewhere. There are a large number of completely unsorted images on the Commons right now. If you would like to help to place some of those images where they can be found, please do!
Thank you. Siebrand 21:20, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
Thanks
[edit]Thanks for the clean-up of File:Dome of the Rock, 1913.jpg; looking at the large image, it really is an impressive image. Sherurcij (talk) 01:07, 30 January 2009 (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.BotMultichillT 11:53, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

Tapa de American News
[edit]Hola Earthsound! Qué placer me da saludarte! Vi tu advertencia sobre (File:Tapa ANews America Economía.JPG). No hablo bien inglés por eso no entendí las explicaciones. Yo soy editor de la revista American News y esa foto es una tapa de esa publicación que había tomado de un PDF. La revista American News puede ser descargada desde la página web www.uamericana.edu.py. En todo caso si la imagen no te convence, la puedes borrar, porque yo no se cómo se eliminan las imágenes de Commons. Desde ya, gracias por tu interés y ayuda constante. Un Saludo! --FF MM (talk) 13:45, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

Copyright status: File:Fusion microcapsule.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Fusion microcapsule.jpg. I notice that the file page either doesn't contain enough information about the license or it contains contradictory information about the license, so the copyright status is unclear.
If you created this file yourself, then you must provide a valid copyright tag. For example, you can tag it with {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} to release it under the multi-license GFDL plus Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike All-version license or you can tag it with {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. (See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of license tags that you can use.) If you did not create the file yourself or if it is a derivative of another work that is possibly subject to copyright protection, then you must specify where you found it (e.g. usually a link to the web page where you got it), you must provide proof that it has a license that is acceptable for Commons (e.g. usually a link to the terms of use for content from that page), and you must add an appropriate license tag. If you did not create the file yourself and the specific source and license information is not available on the web, you must obtain permission through the VRT system and follow the procedure described there. Note that any unsourced or improperly licensed files will be deleted one week after they have been marked as lacking proper information, as described in criteria for deletion. If you have uploaded other files, please confirm that you have provided the proper information for those files, too. If you have any questions about licenses please ask at Commons:Village pump/Copyright or see our help pages. Thank you. |

Vulcan in a kids educational book
[edit]Hi, David.
I'd like to use your Vulcan image in a small, cropped version (less than 2 inches high) in the corner of a kids book page about volcanoes. Please let me know if this is ok. I'm fairly sure the Creative Commons says it's ok but I'd like your permission of course. Please find me at nyguide@gmail.com Thank you
Not Vincent but Theo van Gogh
[edit]Wikimedia Commons (User:Earthsound) already knew in 2011. But now it's officially recognized: in Amsterdam daily Het Parool, 29 Nov. 2018: 'Beroemde foto van Vincent van Gogh blijkt Theo van Gogh' ('Famous photo of Vincent van Gogh appears to be Theo van Gogh').
