Goodies, tips, and tricks Put Babel boxes on your user page so others know what languages you can speak and indicate your graphic abilities. You can find the files you have uploaded in your Uploads. Please sign your name on Talk pages by typing ~~~~. To link to an image page without embedding the image, type: [[:File:Foo.jpg]], which produces: File:Foo.jpg. You may enable gadgets (custom features) for your account. There are several tools to upload files. Have you edited Wikipedia before? This guide might be useful. Made a mistake? Do you want to have a file renamed or moved? Use the move link and wait for an authorized user to rename it. Do you want to have your recently uploaded picture removed? Tag it as {{speedy|reason here}}. For more information read the deletion guidelines.

Awesome pictures!

Thanks for your awesome pictures!! I'm resorting them into the sub-categories where they fit: For example, Category:Playboating and Category:Reno, Nevada instead of just Category:Kayaking and Category:Whitewater kayaking... so that people can find them better! :o) When you upload pictures, the easiest way is to look up a general category (like category:Kayaking) and then click yourself through to the most narrowly fitting category/ies, and then use only those. (If you categorize all pictures as category:Kayaking, which actually show Category:whitewater kayaking or even more specifically category:Playboating etc., then we'll have 100s of pictures in category:Kayaking, which doesn't help anyone...) And sure let me know if you have any questions. In the meantime I'm looking forward to your next batch of pictures! :o) --Ibn Battuta (talk) 21:37, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
