Hi Irig19, I found that you mostly put the current (upload) date into the date_entry of the description of your uploads. That would be o.k. for freshly shot original photos, but surely not for reproductions of older photographies. Please enter the date (at least the year) of the original photography or work (in case of these drawings). In case you don't read english well or you prefer to communicate with a Hebrew-speaker, my admin colleague User:Matanya will surely help. You also have to check and likely correct your licensing, see User_talk:Matanya#Irig19_uploads. Regards. --Túrelio (talk) 11:09, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
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) 12:11, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
