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 (talk) 05:53, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

Foto des Ties in Bühren
[edit]Sehr geehrter Herr Hoffmann, vielen Dank für Ihre Bild-Beiträge zu Wikipedia! Leider musste ich das gerade erst von Ihnen hochgeladene Bild vom Tie in Bühren wieder entfernen, weil ein älteres Bild desselben Namens, das eine finnische Straße zeigte, mit dem neuen Bild überschrieben worden war und sonst verloren gegangen wäre. Es wäre schön, wenn Sie Ihr Bild noch einmal unter einem eindeutigen Dateinamen, unter dem es noch kein anderes Bild gibt, hochladen würden (z.B. "Tie Bühren.jpg" oder ein sonstiger Name, den es halt noch nicht gibt). Dann können Sie auch eine korrekte Lizenz angeben, was durch das Überspeichern des alten Bildes nicht möglich war. (Anmerkung: Da Sie offenbar sehr wenig Erfahrung im Umgang mit Wikipedia haben, schreibe ich ausnahmsweise in der hier völlig unüblichen Sie-Form). --Dehio (talk) 21:49, 20 March 2014 (UTC)
