Hello, Joel Bradshaw!
Tip: Add categories to your files
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.

All are now categorized. Joel Bradshaw (talk) 22:32, 8 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Categories[edit]

Thanks for all of your NRHP pictures for Oahu! One request: would you be more precise/careful with your use of categories? Many of your images you placed in the nonexistent "Category:Hawaiian architecture"; if a category doesn't exist, it doesn't help to put something into it. As well, when you post these NRHP pictures, could you put them in Category:National Register of Historic Places in Hawaii, rather than in Category:National Register of Historic Places? Thanks! Nyttend (talk) 20:13, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for cleaning up after me! I initially used "Architecture in Hawaii" after seeing other "Architecture in (State)" but then switched to "Hawaiian architecture" because I saw it had been used in (English) Wikipedia (but not in the Commons). I'll continue using your "Buildings in Honolulu, Hawaii" and "NRHP (spelled out) in Hawaii". Joel Bradshaw (talk) 20:54, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, sorry it's taken me so long to get back to you. For things like buildings or people, where many photos of the same thing can be added, it's best to categorize as specifically as possible. For example, Category:Alexander and Baldwin Building can contain several photos of the building, and in turn be included in Category:National Register of Historic Places in Hawaii and Category:Buildings in Honolulu, Hawaii, and potentially others. It makes things easier to find, instead of having to wade through hundreds of images of buildings, not all of which may be descriptively named. Check out some of the other NRHP state categories; Florida and Category:National Register of Historic Places in Washington are the best examples. --Spyder Monkey (talk) 01:46, 14 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I noticed you had a picture of Oahu cememtery, so I used that in the article I just wrote. Quite a number of notable people there. We are having a debate, however, about if the "Nuuanu Cemetery" is the same place or "completely different". As far as I can tell, the old part is officialy called "Oahu Cememtery", but since the addition in 1949 the area is often called "Nuuanu" after the valley it is in. If you are still available, please take a look at: Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Numismatics#The_sources_can.27t_agree_on_the_location_of_the_event mahalo.

Hi! I created the Commons:WikiProject Romania as a sister project to the multilingual WP:ROMANIA versions (currently en, fr, ro and ru) to better organize, categorize and improve the quality of media and galleries related to Romania and the Romanians. From your contributions, I think you might be interested and maybe you wish to join and support the project. Your input is welcomed! Thanks and best regards!

Pratt[edit]

Hello, I noticed your photos of Oahu Cemetery tombstones. Do you still live in Honolulu? Would you mind taking a photograph of Franklin Seaver Pratt and his wife Elizabeth Kekaaniau Pratt (her gravestone is here but I can't use this one because I didn't take the photo)?--KAVEBEAR (talk) 22:06, 4 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Photo requests[edit]

Hi! Do you do photo requests in Honolulu? If so, I have some ideas WhisperToMe (talk) 16:10, 4 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I might be able to help. What do you need photos of? Joel Bradshaw (talk) 16:23, 4 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The following things are on my request list.
Taken, uploaded, and linked to Wikipedia article. Joel Bradshaw (talk) 02:36, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Building is massive industrial park with nothing very identifiable to photograph. Couldn't locate section G. Joel Bradshaw (talk) 02:36, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I wonder if there is a main entrance or doorway or gate which has the company name. I wish the company published an "access map" which says how to get there... WhisperToMe (talk) 06:07, 10 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Do you want me to contact the building at http://www.aipaproperties.com/about/contact-us/ ? I think they may know how to access the Hawaiian Airlines HQ - Also it may help to take a faraway view of "Airport Industrial Park (AIPA)" anyway. WhisperToMe (talk) 07:09, 10 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Island Air headquarters - 99 Kapalulu Place, Honolulu, Hawai’i 96819Map
No such name appears on block-long Kapalulu Place off Lagoon Drive. Perhaps under new owner name? Joel Bradshaw (talk) 02:36, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
It's possible. I can check to see where their current HQ is. WhisperToMe (talk) 06:07, 10 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
This page says the HQ is now at Airport Trade Center 550 Paiea St. Ste. 236 Honolulu, Hawaii 96819 WhisperToMe (talk) 06:44, 10 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks!
WhisperToMe (talk) 23:00, 4 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I'll see what I can do. They are all likely to be best early in the day. Joel Bradshaw (talk) 00:40, 7 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you so much for getting the first two! WhisperToMe (talk) 06:07, 10 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

If you want another idea for pics, I found a list of branches of the Hawaiian library system. On Oahu we already have pics of the Hawaii State Library but it may be nice to get some of the library branches too http://hawaii.sdp.sirsi.net/client/default/rw$003d0$0026rm$003dBRANCHES0$00257C$00257C$00257C1$00257C$00257C$00257C1$00257C$00257C$00257Ctrue$0026pv$003d-1$0026ic$003dfalse$0026dt$003dlist$0026sm$003dfalse$0026 - Library for the Blind and Physically Handicapped (402 Kapahulu Ave. Honolulu 96815) may be great in multiple articles

OK, two photos of Kapahulu libraries added to en:Hawaii State Public Library System
Added the blind library to en:Blindness_and_education#Today WhisperToMe (talk) 18:26, 13 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Also Kaimuki Middle School (631 18th Ave, Honolulu, HI 96816) is where the Hawaii Japanese School/Rainbow Gakuen holds its classes (the Japanese school has its offices in 2454 South Beretania St., #202 Honolulu, HI 96826 ) WhisperToMe (talk) 06:46, 10 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I added a photo to the en:Kaimuki, Hawaii page.
Thanks again :) WhisperToMe (talk) 08:01, 16 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

BTW do you have pics of Kaimuki High School and Kalani High School? WhisperToMe (talk) 08:02, 16 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

A favor, if you please[edit]

I created Category:Neighborhoods in Honolulu, Hawaii and put a bunch of things in each category based on Google Maps and other Google searches. However, I'm not actually a resident of Hawaii, so I'm not certain that I got everything correct. If you have the time, would you mind double-checking my work? I realize this is a big undertaking, but anything you can do to help will be great. Thanks so much. howcheng {chat} 21:26, 29 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

In spot-checking, I noticed a handful of photos beginning with "Starr-" followed by a date (-yymmdd-) and ending with the name of a species. But they show buildings in most cases. I don't think those are very helpful. It's not clear whether the specimens are housed in those neighborhoods, or were collected or photographed there.
