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.Hiàn (talk) 02:34, 13 April 2019 (UTC)
Sources?
[edit]Hi HurricaneGeek, I see you have uploaded a bunch of logos from Apple. These look great and thanks for your additions. Can you please provide more specific source information for these images? "apple.com" has quite a lot of content and it isn't clear where these all came from.

Thanks for taking the time to provide more accurate source information. - PaulT+/C 22:47, 27 April 2019 (UTC)
I took them from the respective websites of each. HurricaneGeek2002 (talk) 00:57, 28 April 2019 (UTC)
- Ok, can you please update the source information for these files to indicate the specific location where you found each image? Otherwise there is the potential that the files could end up being nominated for deletion. See {{Sourcefield}} and {{No source since}}. Thanks. - PaulT+/C 14:23, 28 April 2019 (UTC)
I’ve updated all of them to more accurately show where I got them from. HurricaneGeek2002 (talk) 14:35, 28 April 2019 (UTC)
