Tip: Categorizing images

---

Hello, Eiku!

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:Unidentified-seedling-with-long-seed-leaves-01.jpg

With stem clearly visible

Stem less visible but more leaves

Hi! I think it may be Fraxinus excelsior. Salicyna (talk) 12:12, 29 April 2018 (UTC)

Hi Salicyna, thanks for the tip ! I never thought of ash, but now it does look a lot like it. Are you positive enough that I can categorize my pictures right away, or should I wait for other pairs of eyes to confirm the identification? I could also wait for the seedling to grow a bit and have a bit more leaves on display if I can manage to keep it alive that long (judging by the moss, the soil in that pot might be a little too acidic for Fraxinus, but I could be wrong) . As for the orange tree seedlings sharing the same pot, they’ve not grown much for about a year now (but it may be something other than the soil). Eiku (talk) 21:09, 29 April 2018 (UTC)

I'm not 100% sure, it may be also other Fraxinus species (Fraxinus pennsylvanica? I dont't know where photo has been taken and which species can grow there.) I also can't see on your photos colour of under-cotyledons part of stem, Fraxinus excelsior as I know should have red/purple. Salicyna (talk) 19:11, 30 April 2018 (UTC)

Well, if it is a Fraxinus, it is most probably a very common species, so Fraxinus excelsior is a good candidate as I live in South-Eastern France. I’ve taken another picture with the stem well visible; I will upload it later. Eiku (talk) 22:58, 2 May 2018 (UTC)

Hello Salicyna, I have uploaded two new pictures featuring the stem. There is indeed as reddish tinge at the base of the stem, but I am not sure whether that was what you meant… Can you confirm excelsior? Thank you :-) Eiku (talk) 23:52, 5 May 2018 (UTC)

Unfortunately I'm now not home, on Monday or Tuesday I will check it in trees seedling identification guide, but I still think it's Fraxinus excelsior. :) Salicyna (talk) 04:44, 6 May 2018 (UTC) P.S. Thanks for your Vitis vinifera seedlings photos, I started to create Polish flora (with cultivated) seedling identification guide and I'm very thankful for any seedlings photos. :) Salicyna (talk) 04:53, 6 May 2018 (UTC)

I checked it and it's F. excelsior. :) Salicyna (talk) 05:50, 8 May 2018 (UTC)
