Welcome
[edit]The welcome above is machine generated -- this one is personal. We're glad to have new editors as there is certainly plenty of work to be done.
I have just moved your My first page to User:Maria Elisabeta Salcuden/Sandbox, which is a better place for it.
Galleries -- pages without a prefix such as "User", "User talk", "File", "Category", and a few others -- are reserved for collections of images. Your User Page -- User:Maria Elisabeta Salcuden -- and subpages of it such as User:Maria Elisabeta Salcuden/Sandbox are available for your own use. There are some limits on this, but experimenting is a very good use of them. If you have any questions just drop a note on my talk page or go to the Commons discussion page and ask your question there. Jim . . . . Jameslwoodward (talk to me) 14:11, 2 December 2010 (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) 11:04, 3 December 2010 (UTC)
