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) 10:58, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

Logos
[edit]Please upload non-free logos like File:LogoIRCP.jpg only on projects allowing copyrighted logos in their exemption policy (en. fr.), but not on Wikimedia Commons, which only accept freely licensed and public domain logos. --Dereckson (talk) 08:05, 1 August 2012 (UTC)
- I reuploaded it at fr:Fichier:LogoIRCP.jpg. If you know the date (is 2009-12-01 the file date or the logo creation date?) or author, don't hesitate to complete the description. --Dereckson (talk) 08:17, 1 August 2012 (UTC)
