Why do you feel the need to use a sockpuppet?

Dear Truckbest23098: Please list ALL of the various names that you have been using to edit Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons so that the other users know who you are a sockpuppet of. This is vital information so that we can begin to dismantle all of your untrustworthy edits and vandalism.--InaMaka (talk) 15:51, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

Apparently, you are a sockpuppet of Showwould40q.--InaMaka (talk) 15:52, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

Tip: Categorizing images

---

Hello, Truckbest23098!

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.
