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) 10:48, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

Raja Ravi Varma images
[edit]Your images are certainly bigger, but I'm not too sure whether they're better (they seem to be more yellowish...). -- AnonMoos (talk) 16:54, 13 April 2012 (UTC)
- File:Raja_Ravi_Varma,_In_Contemplation.jpg someone enhanced the colours on this pictures I uploaded.I wonder if you could do that to the others.Linguisticgeek (talk) 05:31, 14 April 2012 (UTC)
- I loaded File:Varma Raja Ravi-Lady with Veena.jpg into Photoshop, but it was really beyond my abilities to improve its appearance significantly... The obligation is more on you to upload your images in a reasonably good-quality format -- especially when you're overwriting previous image versions. AnonMoos (talk) 17:35, 14 April 2012 (UTC)
User talk:Jbarta.He will help.he has enhanced the colours of File:Raja_Ravi_Varma,_In_Contemplation.jpg.Linguisticgeek (talk) 19:49, 14 April 2012 (UTC)
- I don't know whether enhancing just color will help them to get improved. They are bad scan, and each pixel is standing its own even after reducing their size :(--Praveen:talk 04:10, 15 April 2012 (UTC)
