File:Angusogduncan1908.jpg

Hello Carryanation, I suspect this file is not in Public Domain, since the author is Scottish and only died in 1945. If it gets nominated for deletion you may upload it at wiki-en under a fair use rationale, along with the other painting by the same author that is in the category. Cheers,-- Darwin ^Ahoy! 20:29, 26 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The one on wikigallery says it is! (So I just kind of assumed.) -- Carryanation

If it was published in the United States before 1923 it's public domain there (and you can safely upload everything from him at Wiki-en withouth bothering with fair use).-- Darwin ^Ahoy! 00:09, 27 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'll go with whatever you guys decide about all these. I can try again in a few years.--Carryanation

Hello, Queenmabtron!

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.
