Goodies, tips, and tricks Put Babel boxes on your user page so others know what languages you can speak and indicate your graphic abilities. You can find the files you have uploaded in your Uploads.

Your uploads in April 2010 (and before) referring to the fauna of Category:Tamil Nadu : Categorisation

Hi, please do not categorize your uploads (an example of your recent activity):

Category:Elephants +

Category:Mammals

Please save time and capacity on commons by categorizing:

Category:Elephas maximus (and for example Category:Mammals of Tamil Nadu, or Category:Birds of Tamil Nadu p.e. for birds)

Please use as far as possible the category of the regarding city/town/village or district (if there's no category), or, a localized better 'fitting' i.e. the 'most fitting"' category(ies), and, do not add - in addition - the categories of the city, state and country, too.

For further information on categories please read Commons:Categories referring to an accurate categorisation, simplifying your further uploads and categorisation in general. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the commons:help desk.
