Hello, TTaylor!
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.

Hi Eugene!
I'm new around here. and just trying to get the hang of it. I'm a grandmother. I don't think you've got too many of those around. I'm afraid I'm rather slow at catching on but I'm getting there with a bit of help. Whenever I go looking for the art objects I want on Wikimedia commons, I find all these things that are filed under weird names, or seem to be all out on their lonesome or have some anomally like
*Art of Austria
*Art of Belgium
*Art of Canada
*Danish Art
*Art of Egypt
So I never know what to do with anything. Or exactly how to do it.
And categories that I expect to exist under a particular heading, don't! I spose people just make up the categories as they go along. It doesn't suit my relatively tidy mind.
So with the Four Martyrs of Westminster Abbey, I simply visited the various sites that I thought might want my pic, Martin Luther King Jnr, Bishop Romero and so on, and dropped the pic into the right place. So it's alreday been used four times.
Now I'm going to have to find things to do with my Chartres Cathedral sculpture and Windows, windows from Canterbury Cathedral, and the odd pulpit or three from Belgium. The pulpits ought to stay together as a group, but they ought also be at the churches that the belong to. Do your categories allow for something to appear at various places?

--Mandy 12:29, 22 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Just several hints. At first good idea to place architecture image to place category. There is Category:Westminster Abbey. If you could not find category, try to start from city/town one.
If you shoot particular person sculpture, try to find category for it. For example Category:Martin Luther.
Categories are usually named in plural form. For example, Category:Sculptures of Christianity.
Again you could find correct categories browsing from generic ones, like Category:Sculptures.
Thank you for sharing you images with other!

You have left me a message saying that the copyright status isn't clear because it doesn't say who created the image.

I have to contradict you. It does say who created the image. It says that the "source" was TTaylor. It says that the "author" was TTaylor. It was uploaded by TTaylor and you left a message for TTaylor saying you didn't know who the author was. This is TTaylor asking you to remove that banner from my drawing. The diagram has not been derived from any other source. It is the only diagram that this art Historian has ever seen showing the architectural scheme of Michelangelo's ceiling.

I can assure you that no breach of copyright is involved. Please attend to the matter, ASAP. --Mandy 13:07, 9 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Siebrand, I've copied this from my page, where I had replied to your message. I'm really annoyed that it has been deleted, because I'm not sure where the original is now. can you please sort this out? --Mandy 14:16, 27 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
And I copied it back. Thanks for your message. Deleted items can be recovered by sysops. Please choose a license for the image and all will be well. Cheers! Siebrand 14:21, 27 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

San Giovanni e Paolo[edit]

Hallo, the cc license allows you to draw "derivate" works from the original image, provided that you quote the source, which you did. Therefore you did nothing you were not allowed to to. By the way, your ligthening the image improved it. Good work in Wikipedia :-) --User:G.dallorto 12:36, 27 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Michelangelo[edit]

Deat TTaylor, in WikiCommons categories are designed just to bundle together all images of the same sort, and to be of use they need to be as specific and narrow as they can, so that people can browse them looking for the exact thing they are looking for. Giant categories, where everything is poured in no other order than the alphabetical order of the title of the file, are useless: pure chaos. This is why one needs to break them into smaller categories.

For a broader perspective, such as the one you need, galleries rather than categories are the appropriate tool, since they are organised following a clear design and plan. Therefore I encourage you to create appropriate galleries to sort out the images that are haphazardly poured into the categories. WikiCommons needs people like you, with a clear grasp of the matter, to organise the chaos. Uploading images is just the first step: organising information is in fact the real purpose of an encyclopedia. Therefore please feel free to create an organisation of the image stock into galleries. I not only will not oppose the move, but I'll deem it very necessary and useful. If you need assistance, just ask. In my home page you can see how I organised my own uploads about art by galleries (I sorted them both by gallery and by category, for the reasons I just explained).

As for diagrams: if you think they should stay together, just create a category for them, of course! :-). As for the one diagram to be deleted: you may ask an adm to delete it speedily by adding the template {{speedy}} on the page and explaining in short the reason (e.g. "I am the author, this diagram is wrong") or you may simply overwrite it by oploading the correct version with the same name (this option is reserved to the creator of the image alone, normally).

As for the name: anglo-saxon people should not impose their habits to the rest of the world. You may refer to Guido Reni, if you so please, as simply "Guido", but in Italy no one will understand. Of course even over here everyone understands who THE Michelangelo is (the Buonarroti one, not the Merisi). But since Michelangelo Buonarroti had a name and a surname, encyclopedias should take into consideration both. On Commons you can create redirects for those who look for one thing rather than for the other, so what's wrong? Each one can look the way s/he prefers... This is not a paper encyclopedia, therefore multiple options are allowed.

Furthermore, two days ago I was in Florence and had a look both to Michealngelo's grave (at its side there are plaques of members of the Buonarroti family (you had just to know the surname to notice that) and to his nephew's house (which is called "Casa Buonarroti", not "Casa Michelangelo"). Like it or not, surnames play a role, and art history is not the only thing an encylopedia should take care of. History as such plays a role too :-)

I am at your disposal for anything you may need from me. Best wishes. --User:G.dallorto 15:24, 30 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Altering image descriptions[edit]

Hi Mandy, I noticed your message on user talk:Lumen roma re that byzantine image of Jesus/John. I took the liberty of copying your message to the image talk, and altered the description according to what you had written. It's very good that you keep a sharp eye for wrong image descriptions, they are diffucult to find for unqualified viewers (you're obviously qualified ;). Further, it's good to leave such notices on the image talk (even if image talks are rarely used at commons) so that the explanation of the altering of description is avvailable for new viewers of the image, and you may alter descriptions of images others have uploaded (this is a wiki) yourself. It's good to leave a short notification on the uploaders talk page though. Thanks for your contributions, regards Finn Rindahl 13:34, 6 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Re St Mark image[edit]

I have just modified your information on this one. It said that Mark was the "supposed" writer of a gospel. I changed it to "presumed", since the word "supposed" indicates an element of dishonesty, where as "presumed" retains an element of doubt. I deleted the comment about "Mark was a Palestinian, just like Jesus." I don't know exactly what this is supposed to mean, but I have read a fair number of snide remarks about Western Christians depicting Jesus in their own likeness.

Jesus was a Jew. John Mark, if his name is an indication, was half Jewish and half Roman. So what does a Jew look like? All the Jewish males in my family look laughably like this picture, painted centuries ago. That incredibly thick brown hair with curls that look as if they have been put in by a crimping machine, the beard, the densely white skin, the large frame, the large hooked nose. The only differnce is that this man has brown eyes. Most of my family have those pale aqua eyes that a great many Jews have. The people that we now think of as Palestinian are mostly Arabic in origin. Jesus was not, ethnically, one of them.

Since the 3rd century, most artists depicted Jesus looking just like the people around them, for obvious reasons that anyone can work out. It is hardly surprising that there are more famous Western portrayals of Jesus than there are African, Indian or Japanese ones. It is because of the status of western art. But I can assure you, that all nationalities give Jesus' features their own look.

Since the 3rd century there have been other artists (usually the great ones) who were very aware of ethnic difference in features and consciously depicted Jesus as a Jew. The earliest that I know of is in a Roman catacomb. The artist who painted this picture has painted Mark as a Jew.

Mandy 08:09, 6 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Whatever. The description came from the source site. My comment would have been "Bloody pen!". // Liftarn

Cathedrals by country[edit]

You have a bunch of images in Category:Cathedrals by country, which doesn't make sense: that's supposed to be a category of categories. Do I understand correctly that the "Sydney" these are in is the one in Australia? If so, You should make a new category Category:Cathedrals in Australia. place that category in both Category:Cathedrals by country and Category:Australia, and move these images into that category (there are enough that you might want to make a subcategory for this church and place them in that category instead). Also, they probably belong in Category:Churches in Sydney. I'd have done this all myself, except that I'm not absolutely sure I have the right "Sydney", there being others in the world (e.g. Sydney, B.C., Canada).

If you don't want to do this, just frop a note on my talk page confirming this is the right Sydney, and I'll do the legwork. - Jmabel ! talk 22:37, 30 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong licenses / missing author information[edit]

Hi, TTaylor, I filed two of the images uploaded by you for deletion to make you aware that correct license information and the name of the photographer are missing. If you have photographed these images yourself, you should give your name as author and use instead of {{PD-old}} one of the licenses for your own work. An overview of the options is to be found here. Please let me know if I can be of any assistance. I very much hope that these valuable images can be saved for Commons.

Your images[edit]

I noticed you tagged several of your uploads (listed above as deletion requests) as {{PD-Old}} as the statues were PD-Old. Pd-Old is not a valid license for photographs of 13th century statues. If you hold the copyright to the images would you mind changing the tag to something liek {{PD-Self}} and maybe mention in the description that the statues ar PD-Old.

Thanks, Mandy, for fixing the licenses. I am glad that these valuable pictures can stay at Commons. I was particularly fond of your photographs from the central bay of the south porch of Chartres Cathedral. Please check if there any other images of yours with likewise problems because I've just checked the images of Chartres Cathedral only. Cheers, AFBorchert (talk) 10:38, 5 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Using one of your pictures in a textbook[edit]

I am thinking of using your Chartres martyrs picture (http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Chartres_cathedral_023_martyrs_S_TTaylor.JPG) in a textbook. It would show at about 7 cm high and be credited in the legend immediately below. Since this is print, and I can't hyperlink to your picture or user pages, I was wondering if you would replace/complement the credits information in any way (name, location, URL, whatever). Just in case, I can be contacted at thechabon a a tt hotm ail do ot com. Thanks very much for sharing that picture. Iiiiaaaa (talk) 13:35, 7 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please ignore this comment. I was pointing out what appeared to be an error, but I now believe the mistake was mine. Apologies. --SpencerM (talk) 17:49, 14 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
