Hello, Ps2045!
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.

File:Singularity_Deniers_Dystopia_Holocaust_Denial.png has been listed at Commons:Deletion requests so that the community can discuss whether it should be kept or not. We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at its entry.

If you created this file, please note that the fact that it has been proposed for deletion does not necessarily mean that we do not value your kind contribution. It simply means that one person believes that there is some specific problem with it, such as a copyright issue. Please see Commons:But it's my own work! for a guide on how to address these issues.

Please remember to respond to and – if appropriate – contradict the arguments supporting deletion. Arguments which focus on the nominator will not affect the result of the nomination. Thank you!

  • KEEP: Seems you are abusing the deletion process because I left my offensive 2 cents worth on your page [correction: a fellow admin's page] regarding your previous unjust deletion (which I am currently blocked for until 14 September 2015, which makes it somewhat difficult to respond to your mass delete abuse). Not sure what you mean by "educational" purposes, but my images, perhaps not these specific ones, have been published in various online technology magazines regarding Transhumaism/Singularity. I don't claim to be a famous artist, and was unaware the category of "art" was regarding famous "art". At least one person found one of my images useful, which you can see here on this site (the image was sourced from Wikimedia Commons): http://www.cbc-network.org/2011/08/the-trouble-with-transhumanism-2/#.UAfIfHhLIdk

"Education" regarding project scope states:

The expression "educational" is to be understood according to its broad meaning of "providing knowledge; instructional or informative"

In some circles my words and images are deemed very educational, information, thus providing knowledge; but it is subjective. Here is a random Commons cat image I just found, which could be educational and informative to some people but not to everyone.

Here are a few other articles I have published, proof of my educational and informative status, including one article where I was interviewed. My ideas are not strange in Transhuman circles:

  • 'Never, ever, argue "abuse" in a deletion discussion. It is a no-win argument, because it is totally irrelevant to whether or not a page should be kept. A close will normally be by an independent administrator, which should be based on the keep/delete arguments. Your list of sources might possibly have been relevant, but ... you will need to convince others to look at them, and ... the way you failed to format them made them essentially, as it were, invisible. You also put this, editing IP, on the DR page, which was block evasion. All that will cause hostile attention, and sometimes it will influence a closing administrator even if it should be irrelevant. Administrators, to put it simply, are human.
  • The edits by IP, evading the block, were completely unnecessary. That DR will not close for many days. Instead, your activity probably attracted more hostile eyes. Block evasion is its own offense here. Bottom line, if you are going to do it, you'd better know what you are doing. And you don't, obviously. So ... you now have an opportunity to learn on Wikiversity, if you care to participate there. Your files will not be deleted, but if I'm wrong and they are, they can be uploaded there, it's trivial. You had a negative experience here, but that really boils down to a handful of users, responding to your temper, perhaps, but also not understanding your work. Don't make a conclusion about the entire community based on that. Your original intentions are respected by me, and, you will find, by others as well. So don't despair!
  • Oh, and I added an asterisk at the beginning of each line with those links so that they display as a list, and it became readable. One of the things you will learn on Wikiversity is wiki syntax. It's fun!
  • One more point. Okay, suppose you wanted to get those links into the DR. You are blocked. How to do that? Well, your talk page access is not blocked. You could edit here, signed. So you could place a request here, that your response be posted there. I'm not sure about Commons and transclusion, but it's possible someone could easily transclude it, but someone could certainly link it there. And then you'd not create any negative reaction. If you avoid the accusations of impropriety, that is.... You did not make that request, you just put the content above. If you want something, ask for it. You might get what you want. --Abd (talk) 00:21, 14 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Unless you are unblocked, you are blocked until 19:27, 12 September 2015, not 14 September as you stated above. It was for "one week" so it should expire at that time. While you may request unblock, I don't recommend it. There is really nothing you need to do here now, for the next few days, to make it worth the time of an administrator to review an unblock template and consult with the blocking custodian. --Abd (talk) 15:46, 14 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Take a look at Wikiversity, and *just stop editing here for now*[edit]

Take a look at wikiversity:Technological singularity.

My goal is to empower you. You did not ask for my advice, but I'm giving it to you anyway. You can curse it or thank your lucky stars. Those that do the latter tend to do better.

Your reaction to Commons activity, which you do not understand, has created a bit of a mess here, but I may have stopped the deletion for now. Or not. Commons politics can be messy. I suggest staying away from it. You can upload files on en.wikiversity, anything that would be okay on Commons would be okay there, plus more, in fact. If the files were deleted here, and assuming licenses are okay, they could definitely be uploaded locally.

But there is more. I developed that resource as a stub, partly to save your files from deletion. You may expand it. Don't worry about making mistakes. Wikiversity is not Wikipedia, and mistakes are part of the learning process, and one of the goals of Wikiversity is "learning by doing." We are not only about content, we care about education, which includes educating users on how to be successful editing wikis. I don't know any other wiki in the WMF family that makes that a clear goal. We do.

But watch out about accusing other editors of doing nasty things. It upsets them, and if they are experienced users, they may retaliate, and they have the power to do it. Even if it was all impersonal for them originally, it can become very personal. Basically, they are ... human beings, not robots. Respect them, you will do better.

I will explain more, if you like, if you show up at Wikiversity. Your email here was shut off for a week, and I'd guess you sent at least one unwelcome email. That's another mistake that unskilled users make, often. Block-evading, the same. It then gets other users acting to stop you. And you get more and more upset, eh?

You may email me through the wikiversity interface. Commons blocks only affect commons. Be very careful about using other wikis to talk about this in any way that might not be welcome. Stewards can and will lock the account, and then that account is toast, completely. Let's not give them any excuse.

Just stop! You will be fine. Your images almost certainly will not be deleted, and if they are, they can be undeleted. It's a wiki, anything can be fixed, but if you create a huge mess by not slowing down and being careful, it can become difficult. So .... again, just stop. Okay? --Abd (talk) 23:16, 13 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
