Trijnstel gave you good information at User_talk:Trijnstel#question concerning procedure of creating pages on wiki -- Science 1 is an article, not a Commons Gallery, and is out of Commons scope. Please don't recreate it. If you have questions, you may ask Trijnstel on her talk page or post a question here for me. Jim . . . . Jameslwoodward (talk to me) 18:32, 30 June 2011 (UTC)

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) 10:40, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

Commons Purpose and Scope[edit]
Commons is a repository for images and other media files. While a very limited amount of descriptive material is permitted with those files, it is not a place for articles or other text material that is not directly connected with media.
You have now created such a page three times -- Science 1 twice and The Way of Science once. You were warned each time that such material was out-of-scope.
Although we try to be supportive and helpful to newcomers, we do not have time to deal with people who repeatedly recreate deleted material. The next time you do it, you will be blocked from editing on Commons.
As I said above, if you have questions, you may ask Trijnstel on her talk page or post a question here for me. Jim . . . . Jameslwoodward (talk to me) 10:48, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
