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) 10:58, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

The colour for Tripoli is wrong. It should certainly be green. Ghaddafi clearly controls this city since he allowed some foreign BBC journalists (Jeremy Bowen here) to visit it on Saturday to show them that he firmly controls the city centre and virtually all of its suburbs. Today the people in Tripoli are afraid of protesting some more since his thugs will shoot them a third time after Friday's massacre. That is why Ghaddafi remains in power unless someone shoots him or he is overthrown by an invasion from the east. But he controls Surt which makes it hard for the Eastern Libyans to attack Tripoli in large numbers at present.
- Yes, there is some clashes in Tripoli but Ghaddafi still rules the city at present. Without arms the people in Tripoli cannot do much against automatic guns, helicopter gunships and RPGs if Ghaddafi wishes. Tripoli is not like Sabratha, Zawiya or Misurata. If it falls, he is finished. That is why he will fight to the death to control it with his son's elite brigades and African mercenaries. Regards, --Leoboudv (talk) 06:22, 27 February 2011 (UTC)
