You don't need technical skills in order to contribute here. Be bold when contributing and assume good faith when interacting with others. This is a wiki. More information is available at the community portal. You may ask questions at the help desk, village pump or on IRC channel #wikimedia-commons (webchat).

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) 11:10, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

Browser/proxy
[edit]Can I ask are you using an open proxy or a non-standard browser? This error is unusual (and frankly a bit of a pain to clean up...). Just an FYI: use of open proxies to edit is discouraged (and technically against the rules here). Thanks! Magog the Ogre (talk) 20:39, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
- I don't know what an open proxy is and I do have a standard browser (IE8). What is the problem? I have transferred these files to commons with the available tool. I do not understand what is wrong. Gr.WikiDaisy (talk) 01:46, 23 January 2011 (UTC)
As you can see from the diff I added, your output replaced numerous characters with "#", which confused the templates (among other things). Magog the Ogre (talk) 06:50, 23 January 2011 (UTC)

- I don't know about any Flickr washing. I have just transferred the files to commons because I'd like to use them with this subject page. WikiDaisy (talk) 01:48, 23 January 2011 (UTC)
Sure. You weren't the one at fault... the person on English Wikipedia is. No worries. Magog the Ogre (talk) 06:49, 23 January 2011 (UTC)

- I don't know what kind of permission to choose from. This legal talk is too complicated for me and discourages me to contribute again. WikiDaisy (talk) 16:04, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
