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) 10:43, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

Your renaming requests
[edit]Undoing my rename declines won't get you anywhere. Keep in mind that I have everything watchlisted. If you continue to simply undo my changes without providing a reasonable explanation and/or accounting for why the moves were declined, then I will report you at the appropriate forum. Logan Talk Contributions 20:11, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
- Arg, I just looked at the edit summaries. Never mind. I thought you were just undoing my changes. Logan Talk Contributions 20:12, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
- You may have declined my requests seeing that they were not reasons from COM:FR 1/2/3/4/5/6/7. But Logan, the guideline states that Currently there are seven widely undisputed uses for rename requests. But that doesn't meant that all rename requests should necessarily have a reason from the seven above. Please rename the files so that they make more sense. Reasons are stated below:
- File:Tour Solidor DSC 6316-1.JPG - The Solidor tower, Brittany, France - Expand name for clarity
- File:Stage 3 of Tour de l'Abitibi DSC 8979.jpg - Stage 3 of Tour de l'Abitibi - remove unneccessary "DSC 8979" to match File:Stage 6 of Tour de l'Abitibi.jpg
- File:Boscastle DSC 7402.jpg - Breakwater near harbour of Boscastle, Cornwall - I - Expand name for clarity. Boscastle is the name of a town in Cornwall and this is not a picture/panorama of the town.
- File:Boscastle DSC 8080.jpg - Breakwater near harbour of Boscastle, Cornwall - II - As above.
- File:Oberteuringen-DSC 3463.jpg - Apple for sale at a farm in Oberteuringen - Expand name for clarity. Oberteuringen is the name of a town in Germany and this is not a picture/panorama of the town.
