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 06:27, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

Watermarks in photographs
[edit]Hello!
Please do not add such big watermarks of your usernames in your images. Such edits reduce the quality of the images that would be great contributions for this project. The encyclopedic maybe affected negatively due to this. Greetings and happy editing, High Contrast (talk) 08:14, 4 December 2010 (UTC)
- Плюсую. Если на большинстве фото водяной знак ещё прозрачный в пределах нормы и не бросается в глаза, то вот это явный перебор с непрозрачностью и контрастностью. Если б он был куда меньше и в углу, не загораживая основной объект, или прозрачность была высока чтоб цветность не искажалась больше чем на несколько цифр в диапазоне 0-255 по каждому из 3 цветов, ещё бы куда ни шло, а такая надпись как на примере сходу портит фото. Рекомендую его перезалить с менее броской версией, или заменить в статье на другое без такой чрезмерной ватермарки — Xenotron (talk) 21:59, 12 December 2015 (UTC)
Please do not overwrite files
[edit]
This was not the only instance I noticed... other editors asked that the overwritten files be split apart, and this takes signifiant effort. Also, you did not change the author and source information to reflect your new image, and so there are now files with no source or author in your upload history. Please fix them. Thanks.Revent (talk) 09:27, 9 February 2016 (UTC)
- "Been restored" is inaccurate... the overwritten files have been split apart to new filenames. Revent (talk) 09:28, 9 February 2016 (UTC)

If you created this file, please note that the fact that it has been proposed for deletion does not necessarily mean that we do not value your kind contribution.
