Artemonas/ Ano Petali

Hello; I think this photo is the village of Ano Petali (between Artemonas proper and Apollonia), although it belong to the municipal district of Artemonas. See the municipality site.--Phso2 (talk) 16:41, 19 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello again; it's notnecessary to put the "Islands of Greece" category on your pictures, it's included in the "Island name" category (every picture ine the Sifnos category belongs automatically to the "Islands of Greece" and other "mother-categories")--Phso2 (talk) 14:27, 22 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well, you're not to blame, it's still often refered to as "Thissio", it's the name of the neighbouring metro station and surrounding f. example.--Phso2 (talk) 15:06, 22 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Jcorelis!

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.

Do you have a better version of File:Rhodes05acropolis2.jpg?

Deutsch ∙ English ∙ español ∙ français ∙ magyar ∙ Nederlands ∙ polski ∙ português ∙ svenska ∙ suomi ∙ македонски ∙ українська ∙ 日本語 ∙ עברית ∙ +/−

Thank you for your submission of File:Rhodes05acropolis2.jpg. While all submissions are useful, do you think you might be able to supply a better quality version of the same, or similar, content? In many cases, the largest and highest resolution possible is the most useful version to have available. (MediaWiki has automatic resizing functionality, so there is no need for multiple versions of the same image at different sizes, users can select any size and the software will generate and cache the needed resolution on the fly.)

If you can supply the same exact image as File:Rhodes05acropolis2.jpg at a larger resolution (or media at a higher bitrate, etc.), please just upload it over the original, users will get the new higher quality version with no further effort on your part. If on the other hand, the content is only similar, it is best to select a new image name, as there may be uses already where some aspect of the existing media was key to the usage. In the latter case, if you can provide a crosslink reference to the new image in the older one and vice versa, that will be extremely helpful.

Again, thank you very much for your contribution, it is appreciated.
