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) 13:22, 3 August 2011 (UTC)

Urgent: Photo challenge[edit]
Hi Charles. I noticed that you added Category:Photo challenge/2014 - June - Ruins, cemeteries and ghostly places to File:Haunted Fort Mifflin.jpg but have not submitted it at the challenge page. If you plan to submit it for the challenge, please add it there before midnight UTC.
- The June challenges have now closed. As discussed with Colin, I submitted this as a late entry for you as it was uploaded and added to the category in June (but please don't forget next time or rely on someone giving you the benefit of the doubt, closing the challenges will not be my responsibility next time around). Please let me know asap if it should not be included as voting will start soon. HelenOnline 07:48, 1 July 2014 (UTC)

How did you get that shot of the SS United States that's on the wiki page? Where were you standing? — Preceding unsigned comment was added by 100.11.22.217 (talk) 03:47, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Drake Bufflehead LBI.png. I notice that the file page either doesn't contain enough information about the license or it contains contradictory information about the license, so the copyright status is unclear.
If you created this file yourself, then you must provide a valid copyright tag. For example, you can tag it with {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} to release it under the multi-license GFDL plus Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike All-version license or you can tag it with {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. (See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of license tags that you can use.) If you did not create the file yourself or if it is a derivative of another work that is possibly subject to copyright protection, then you must specify where you found it (e.g. usually a link to the web page where you got it), you must provide proof that it has a license that is acceptable for Commons (e.g. usually a link to the terms of use for content from that page), and you must add an appropriate license tag. If you did not create the file yourself and the specific source and license information is not available on the web, you must obtain permission through the VRT system and follow the procedure described there. Note that any unsourced or improperly licensed files will be deleted one week after they have been marked as lacking proper information, as described in criteria for deletion. If you have uploaded other files, please confirm that you have provided the proper information for those files, too. If you have any questions about licenses please ask at Commons:Village pump/Copyright or see our help pages. Thank you. |
