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) 11:09, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Out Of The Ordinary Logo.jpg. This media is missing permission information. A source is given, but there is no proof that the author or copyright holder agreed to license the file under the given license. Please provide a link to an appropriate webpage with license information, or ask the author or copyright holder to send an email with copy of a written permission to VRT (permissions-commons@wikimedia.org). You may still be required to go through this procedure even if you are the author yourself; please see Commons:But it's my own work! for more details. After you emailed permission, you may replace the {{No permission since}} tag with {{subst:PP}} on file description page. Alternatively, you may click on "Challenge speedy deletion" below the tag if you wish to provide an argument why evidence of permission is not necessary in this case.
Please see this page for more information on how to confirm permission, or if you would like to understand why we ask for permission when uploading work that is not your own, or work which has been previously published (regardless of whether it is your own). The file probably has been deleted. If you sent a permission, try to send it again after 14 days. Do not re-upload. When the VRT-member processes your mail, the file can be undeleted. Additionally you can request undeletion here, providing a link to the File-page on Commons where it was uploaded ([[:File:Out Of The Ordinary Logo.jpg]] ) and the above demanded information in your request. |

File:Edmund marriage.jpg has been listed at Commons:Deletion requests so that the community can discuss whether it should be kept or not. We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at its entry.
If you created this file, please note that the fact that it has been proposed for deletion does not necessarily mean that we do not value your kind contribution. It simply means that one person believes that there is some specific problem with it, such as a copyright issue. Please see Commons:But it's my own work! for a guide on how to address these issues. |

@Paul Bedson: I was wondering what the cross stands for. Thank you for your time. Lotje (talk) 14:56, 4 August 2018 (UTC)
- Hi Lotje, thanks for your interest. It was an illustration for John Marco Allegro's book The Sacred Mushroom and the Cross. Since my creation of that page, the image has been replaced with the cover of the first edition, which is a much more suitable image. This one can be removed from Commons if you like. It may be a nice additional illustration perhaps, however, I'm never going back to English Wikipedia so you'll have to suggest it's usage if you feel it appropriate there or elsewhere. Paul Bedson (talk) 17:44, 4 August 2018 (UTC)
- Images that have an educational (incl. Illustrative) value can stay, as there are more language versions of Wikipedia than English if an article gets written about the same subject "your" image could still be used, plus other websites (outside of Wikimedia) can easily use it. There is no need to delete it, personally I quite like it. --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 17:47, 4 August 2018 (UTC)
