Hello, Umezo KAMATA!
Tip: Add categories to your files
Tip: Add categories to your files

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.

File:LSE Aldwych and D Building.jpg‎

[edit]

File talk:LSE Aldwych and D Building.jpg‎ can't be used here as it can only be used for Noncommercial (On Flickr it's copyrighted as Creative Common Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike [CC-BY-NC-SA]) use however Commons is a free-use repository, meaning that photographs, images, sound and video files can only be uploaded if they're in the Public Domain (PD), Creative Common Attribution (CC-BY) and Creative Common Attribution Share Alike (CC-BY-SA) and if they meet Freedom of Panorama. If you're unsure if you can use an image use the Flickr upload page which has the list of what you can and can't upload on Commons but if you still need help you can use one of these bots (Flickr web tools or Flickr2commons bot) or if you like leave a message on talk page.

I've placed this in you talk page so it will not get deleted in which the Image talk page will. No need to apologise as you're new here so you're not really going to know what you can and can't upload here. Well Commons is non-profit foundation (As is the whole of Wikimedia). Files here have to be free as they will be used in the Wikimedia project (Wikipedia, Wikibooks, Wikinews just to name a few). You may want to check out the welcome and licensing pages. Bidgee (talk) 13:19, 21 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Well files that are licensed as Attribution-NoDerivs (BY-ND) and Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs (BY-NC-ND) can't be uploaded as it's restrictive (IE: No Derivative Works) which means we can't make derivative works from the file with Commons main aim is to have files that are freely available, that can be edited and used as derivative works. With files that are Attribution-Noncommercial (BY-NC) and Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike (BY-NC-SA) can't be uploaded as it's restrictive (IE: Commercial websites can't use the file[s] even if they are not using the fire for Commercial-gain.) which means no commercial website can use the file. None of the Wikimedia project sites are commercial but commercial websites do use the content (An example: Encyclopædia Britannica using a photo of the Hampden Bridge which can be found on Commons as File:WaggaWaggaBridgeOverMurrumbidgee.jpg [original photograph]). So in other words is that if Commons allowed restrictive files here it would make it harder for us or anyone else to make derivative works or use it on a commercial site, so by only letting what we call "free-use" images (as they are not restrictive as long as the licensing conditions are followed) everyone can use the files here. I hope that helps. Bidgee (talk) 04:48, 22 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Image renaming

[edit]

I saw that you tagged a image for rename but your not on the checkpage for the bot (Commons:MediaMoveBot/CheckPage) Please go to the the talk page and put your name up for approval so that the bot can automatically rename your request instead of waiting for someone else on that list to confirm for you.
