Descriptions and categories
[edit]Hi Ethan,
I notice you've uploaded a large number of files with no categories. Some, like this file, also have descriptions that are not useful for our users. Please make sure to add useful descriptions and categories for all images you upload. (For categories, only use the most specific categories available - for example, for this file, you should add Category:Hynes Convention Center station, rather than Category:Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority or Category:MBTA Green Line.) Please do not upload any more files until you have added these categories and descriptions for the files you have already uploaded. Thanks, Pi.1415926535 (talk) 19:19, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
- Let me know if you have any specific suggestions as I go through and add them - I saw Franklin Street Footbridge. I had thought Flickr2Commons would carry over at least the tags as categories but I had that wrong. Ethanmlong (talk) 19:48, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
