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 06:00, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

Your recent uploads: Categorisation
[edit]Hi, please do not categorize your uploads (an example of your recent activity):
Please save time and capacity on commons by categorizing:
- Category:Hindu temples in Kerala (and for example Category:Thrissur)
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.
Thank you for your assistance, Roland 18:52, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
Kerala photos
[edit][moved to your talk page] Thanks for improving some of the categories of photos I have uploaded. But in case of File:Vavu Bali.jpg, I feel that Religion of Kerala would have been an appropriate category. Culture is usually associated with dance, music, drama etc. Otherwise a new category "Customs & Practises of Kerala" should be created. Sarvagyana guru (talk) 07:36, 10 June 2010 (UTC)
- Hi, you're welcome. imho there too many cultural and religious categories already in use, maybe confusing other users, and imho there's no need for "customs and practices of Kerala" - culture, festivals etc. in general are usually fitting as good enough - but, please feel free to categorize that picture as "religion in Kerala" (or maybe better) to create "Hindusim in Kerala" (that one is really missing). btw: In general, "Religion" is within the commons category-tree used as a sub-category of "Culture". Best regards, Roland 10:12, 10 June 2010 (UTC)
Your flickr uploads on July 20/21, 2010, referring to Kerala : Categorisation
[edit]Hi, please do not categorize your uploads (an example of your recent activity):
Please save time and capacity on commons by categorizing:
- Category:Kovalam (and for example Category:Fishing in India) as "Kovalam" = "Beaches in Kerala" = "Tourism in Kerala"
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.
Thank you for your assistance, Roland 11:00, 21 July 2010 (UTC)
- Please refer to your posting on my "Talk Page" dated 21 July 10, Can you clarify, whether I over-categorised my uploads or did I under-categorise my uploads? Or may be I should not categorise my uploads at all? I did try reading the links but I have not yet understood what was the issue about. Thanks & Regards
- Sarvagyana guru (talk) 17:22, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
- Hi, for details please refer to your uploads on July 20, 2010, and the version-histories of that images.
- In principle, please categorize as above mentioned, i.e. the most "fitting" categories, but not too many and wrong/misleading and/or "parent" ("Kerala" etc.) categories) ;-) Regards, Roland 18:23, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
When you remove your own {{Delete}}, as you did at the subject file, it would be helpful if you also close the deletion request at Commons:Deletion requests/File:©India.Andhra Pradesh.Hyderabad.Rajiv Gandhi International Airport-13.JPG.

CommonsHelper bug
[edit]Sarvagyana guru: I'm trying to gather information about a CommonsHelper bug I'm seeing occasionally, specifically one that appeared in your uploads here: [1] [2]. Can you tell me which browser you're using, what your default language settings are, and which language version of CommonsHelper you used? Magog the Ogre (talk) 12:50, 17 August 2011 (UTC)

Category removes
[edit]Hello,
you removed the wrong categories from File:Nawab Safdar Jung Musheer-ud-Daulah Fakhar-ul-mulk II,by.Aun Mehdi.jpg and File:Nawab safdar jung musheer ud daulah fakhar-ul-mulk-aun mehdi's collection (2).JPG but leaved the files uncategorized. Please don't do this, every file has to be at last in one category. I added Category:Unidentified people now and hope someone (perhaps you?) can do it better.
