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.BotMultichillT 06:10, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

Photos of scale models[edit]
Unfortunately as 3D objects that do not serve any purpose other than display (or as toys), these models qualify as objects of fine art. The manufacturer's design of them are copyrighted. Jappalang (talk) 22:41, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
- Please refer to Commons:Derivative works. Basically, photos of anything that is made with copyrighted material ("parts from several manufacturers") and not utilitarian in design are derivative works and not acceptable. Jappalang (talk) 22:17, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
model kits?[edit]
were those models made from kits?
