File names[edit]
Hello,
I see that you have uploaded many interesting pictures from Syria. But the file names you are using are a bit cryptic. Perhaps you should read Commons:Primi passi/Caricamento file : Quindi se il nome non è espicativo (es: “DSC123456.jpg”), è bene cambiarlo inserendo il nuovo nome nel campo “Destination filename”. Dato che i nomi criptici rendono molto più difficile la ricerca, scegline uno il più possibile adatto per Wikimedia Commons. Questo è molto importante anche perché non potrai rinominare il file una volta caricato. Teofilo (talk) 10:13, 21 April 2010 (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) 10:51, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for uploading files on Commons.
Please add images to most relevant categories, for example Category:Geography of Jordan, not in generic ones like Category:Jordan. Generic categories could be easily become overcrowded and useless for search.
Thank you for your support! Greets, High Contrast (talk) 19:48, 22 May 2010 (UTC)

Hello Mappo!
IMPORTANT:
Is this file your own work? Are you the photographer/author of this file? If yes, please insert {{own}} as source instead of "Mappo". So it is clear for anyone that this image is really your own work.
Please correct that in all your uploads.
Thanks in advance. --High Contrast (talk) 17:12, 19 May 2010 (UTC)
- ATTENTION: If you insert {{own}} in your uploads do not copy and paste it with those two "<nowiki>" "</nowiki>" tags! Please correct that with all of your uplaods by removing thos two "<nowiki>" "</nowiki>" additions. --High Contrast (talk) 20:22, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed[edit]
Hello,
The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.
Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Mappo. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Mappo~commonswiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.
Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation
