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, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

2011 "USS Ronald Reagan" photos
[edit]Hi, the photos you uploaded are not from the USS Ronald Reagan (CVN-76), but from USS Boxer (LHD-4), see [1] and [2]. Both ships were obviously at Hong Kong in 2011, but Ronald Reagan was off California in September 2011, arriving at San Diego on 9 September. Also, compare the other photos available of both ships, Ronald Reagan is almost three times the size of Boxer. I applied for renaming of the files. Cheers Cobatfor (talk) 18:33, 25 November 2012 (UTC)
Yes, You are right. The USS Ronald Reagan Aircraft Carrier and its three support ships arrived in Hong Kong on 13 August 2011, and USS Boxer LHD-4 has arrived in Hong Kong on 31 August 2011. So it was my mistake. Sorry for that. Please change the name. Thanks.--HK Arun (talk) 22:20, 25 November 2012 (UTC)
Thank You for the Wikipedia Picture
[edit]Hello, My name is Duane Hurst and I recently made a free (non-commercial) English web site to share information with people. I added links to your Wikipedia/Wikimedia freeware picture. I also gave credit to you on my web pages for your work. Thank you for sharing with the public. My website is:
http://www.freeenglishsite.com/
I add pictures such as yours to one of the following major sections of my site: 1. World section - contains information and over 10,000 images of every world country and territory. Link at: http://www.freeenglishsite.com/world/index.htm
2. USA section - contains information and images of every USA state and territory. Link at: http://www.freeenglishsite.com/world/usa/index.htm
3. English section - "Mel and Wes" lessons in conversation format. Stories are located in various USA states and world countries such as China, England, Germany, Japan, Mexico and Thailand. Each lesson has many slang terms and idioms, which I link to my Slang Dictionary. This eventually will have over 5,000 terms. Currently, it has about 3,000 slang and idioms. I regularly add new lessons and slang terms. Link at: http://www.freeenglishsite.com/english/lessons/index.htm Slang Dictionary link at: http://www.freeenglishsite.com/english/slang/Eslang_a.htm
Prior to retirement, I taught English at several private and public universities in the United States.
Please share this free site with your friends. I hope all will enjoy the pictures and find the English information useful. Sincerely, Duane Hurst in Utah, USA

Hong Kong International School photos , and November 3 meetup
[edit]Hi, Arun! Thanks for taking the photos of the Hong Kong International School. I looked at the photos but I'm not sure if they were of the Tai Tam or Repulse Bay campuses. Would you mind indicating which campus(es) each photo belongs to?
Also there is a meetup for Wikipedia on November 3 in Fo Tan, Hong Kong. Let me know if you're interested!
