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.BotMultichillT 06:14, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

Hallo Leute,
1. Das beanstandete Foto habe ich am 06.10.2019 um 15:48:09 Uhr im Militärhistorischen Museum der Bundeswehr in Dresden aufgenommen. Es ist unter IMG_6486 Kriegsflagge 1848.jpg in meiner Datenbasis abgelegt.
2. Ich habe das Foto auf Commons hochgeladen und in den Artikel über die Reichskriegsflagge integriert.
3. Wer hat den Dateinamen meines Fotos in "Marine Kriegsflagge von 1848 im niedersächsischen Landesmuseum Hannover.jpg" geändert? Ich habe die Datein nicht unter dem angegebenen Namen auf Commons geladen; wäre nie auf Hannover gekommen.
4. Das Foto zeigt eine der wenigen gut erhaltenen Flaggen aus der Revolutionszeit von 1848. Man hat sich damals bemüht gold statt gelb zu verwenden. Näheres zur Reichskriegsflagge von 1848 könnt Ihr hier erfahren: http://www.freiburgs-geschichte.de/1848-1870_Revolution.htm#Nationalversammlung
6. Letzlich ist zu klären, wer den ursprünglichen Dateinamen meines Fotos so einfach ändern konnte und (falsch) geändert hat.
Mit den besten Grüßen, Red_Baron_2 --2003:EB:1700:D900:2191:BECE:AC74:562A 13:38, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
Here is the English text of my query:
Hi folks,
1, I took the offending photo on 10/06/2019 at 15:48:09 at the Military History Museum of the German Armed Forces in Dresden. It is filed under IMG_6486 Kriegsflagge 1848.jpg in my database.
2. I uploaded the photo to Commons and integrated it into the article about the imperial war flag.
3. Who changed the filename of my photo to "Marine Kriegsflagge von 1848 im niedersächsischen Landesmuseum Hannover.jpg"? I didn't upload the files to Commons under this name; would never have come up with Hannover.
4. The photo shows one of the few well-preserved flags from the revolutionary period of 1848. they tried to use gold instead of yellow at that time. You can learn more about the imperial war flag of 1848 here: http://www.freiburgs-geschichte.de/1848-1870_Revolution.htm#Nationalversammlung.
6. Finally it has to be clarified who could change the original file name of my photo so easily and changed it (wrongly).

- Hallo, die Entwicklung deiner Datei kannst du in der Versionsgeschichte nachlesen, daraus geht z.B. hervor, wer wann warum umbenannt hat.
- I am not sure what you are trying to achieve here. Do you oppose to renaming your file from Marine Kriegsflagge von 1848 im niedersächsischen Landesmuseum Hannover.jpg to Kriegsflagge der Marine des Deutschen Bundes von 1848.jpg? Do you want to object to the deletion of the remaining redirect page after moving the file? Or do you simply want to research the history of the file's names?
- According to the log, you yourself uploaded the file, having named it Marine Kriegsflagge von 1848 im niedersächsischen Landesmuseum Hannover.jpg. The only renaming took place yesterday and it was renamed Kriegsflagge der Marine des Deutschen Bundes von 1848.jpg Regards, Willi P (talk) 15:23, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
- First of all, this is the file that I uploaded to Commons on November 12, 2019, with descriptions both in German and English and the caption Navy flag of the German Confederation: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Kriegsflagge_der_Marine_des_Deutschen_Bundes_von_1848.jpg.
- And to end the endless discussions: What I want to achieve is to insert the above photo into the article "Reichskriegsflagge" with the correct text. Would this be allowed? Red_Baron_2 --2003:EB:1700:D900:6D2B:638B:244F:358A 10:14, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
- Since there is no opposition, I have reposted the image of the 1848 German Confederation Navy battle flag with the corrected museum name. Red_Baron_2 --2003:EB:1700:D900:48FE:B35E:7DB:F688 17:17, 27 March 2021 (UTC)
