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) 15:10, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

It only accepts free content, which is images and other media files that can be used by anyone, for any purpose.

New URL for OgreBot's old version filemover
[edit]Hello. I've identified you as a user who has previously used OgreBot's old version filemover. Please note the new URL: toollabs:magog/oldver.php. Thanks. Magog the Ogre (talk) (contribs) 23:40, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
Hi, I have created the file description page. You are now able to edit it. Plese add the {{Information}} template and a valid copyright tag. -- Rillke(q?) 10:20, 17 January 2014 (UTC)
- Thank you! Levdr1lp / talk 00:32, 18 January 2014 (UTC)
you reverted my edit?
[edit]File:WMMS Presents Cat Stevens - 1976 print ad.jpg
You reverted my edit , why? Pallap (talk) 20:59, 18 January 2014 (UTC)
- @Pallap: I think I made my reasons clear in the edit summary. Levdr1lp / talk 18:09, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
Deletion of File:WXXIAMFMTVHeadquarters.JPG
[edit]Could you expand upon your legal theory given that 90% of your uploads are unmodified copies of others' logos? -- DanielPenfield (talk) 08:10, 16 September 2014 (UTC)
- @DanielPenfield: Consider reviewing Threshold of originality and Public domain. Levdr1lp / talk 18:31, 20 September 2014 (UTC)
- In other words, when you copy it wholesale and upload it, it's automatically "just a bunch of lines and letters that anyone could come up with". But when I photograph a building to which the owner has affixed a logo, then the entire scene--street, sidewalk, clouds in the sky--is automatically "a precious work of originality." -- DanielPenfield (talk) 10:52, 21 September 2014 (UTC)
- @DanielPenfield: Was your upload deleted? No, because an administrator concluded that the "PBS Kids" logo, while non-free, is sufficiently small to qualify as De minimis. If the logo covered a larger portion of the image, then it very well may have been deleted (see Commons:Derivative works for a detailed explanation). As for my own uploads and why I chose to upload them, again, I suggest you either review the links I already posted above, or review this list of PD licenses for images which fall within the scope of the Commons. Levdr1lp / talk 06:59, 24 September 2014 (UTC)
- Sorry! I forgot that you are the ultimate authority as to what is and is not copyrightable. Therefore, anything you upload by your command "consists of simple geometric shapes and/or text" and therefore is automatically not copyrightable because it was uploaded by His Copyright Majesty. But when I upload a picture of a building with a logo that "consists of simple geometric shapes and/or text" that logo is automatically copyrightable and copyrighted because I am a lesser creature than His Copyright Majesty. -- DanielPenfield (talk) 01:03, 25 September 2014 (UTC)
- @DanielPenfield: Look, I thought your upload was possibly a copyright violation, so I nominated it for deletion. But an administrator decided to keep it. So what's the problem here? Files get nominated for deletion every day; some are deleted, others are kept. Don't take it personally, and please at least try to AGF. Feel free to stop the name calling while you're at it.

- Yes, Your Copyright Majesty! May every peasant bow to Your Imperial Wishes for You are the Ultimate Authority on What Is and What Is Not Copyrightable! File:PBS KIDS.png -- DanielPenfield (talk) 07:37, 25 September 2014 (UTC)
