Hello, Almonroth!
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.

Wanna vote for your pic?[edit]

Commons:Featured picture candidates/File:Woman outside Sepulchre-2.jpg--Canoe1967 (talk) 00:33, 25 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks so much for nominating this, Canoe. I really appreciate the heads up, but it seems immodest to vote for my own shot in this way. Is that common for FP nominations? Thanks Almonroth (talk) 14:55, 25 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It is very common for creators to post their own work and then vote for it. If you go through the list you may see that many are.--Canoe1967 (talk) 17:37, 25 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You may wish to add your vote. It is a tight race because of moral issues.--Canoe1967 (talk) 01:18, 28 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
File:Lombard St. Sculpture.jpg 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!

After reading the policy better, I understand your reasoning (and the law) and agree it should be removed. Thanks, Almonroth (talk) 00:48, 17 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you![edit]

The Photographer's Barnstar
Your photographs from Israel are absolutely stunning!! Thank you for sharing them with the world :) Sarah (talk) 02:57, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, Sarah! I really appreciate my first Commons barnstar coming from you. Also, I have some other shots from Israel/West Bank that I'm excited to upload during the Wiki Loves Monuments contest in September. Have you heard of it? ;) Almonroth (talk) 05:32, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Image Resolution Feedback - Thanks![edit]

Thanks for the feedback on my first attempts on the site. I shot these mostly with my 5D MkII and MkIII, so resolution isn't an issue. 720P is just what I've tended to size my online work to. I'm new to this, but I think I noticed that you can upload an updated image - so I could just save higher resolution ( 2+ MP) versions of the images and upload them in the place of the original upload, right?

Thanks for taking a few minutes to help out. Certainly appreciated! Now to see if I get this linking thing correct: GPVonde (Talk), Fine Art Blog.

Thanks for the kind words. You're stuff is great as well. I'm a big Architectural buff and I really enjoyed your detail shots. Good luck in the 2012 contest! GPVonde (Talk), [http://deremerstudios.wordpress.com/category/fine-art-photography/ Fine Art Blog

Picture of the Year voting round 1 open[edit]

Dear Wikimedians,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the 2012 Picture of the Year competition is now open. We're interested in your opinion as to which images qualify to be the Picture of the Year for 2012. Voting is open to established Wikimedia users who meet the following criteria:

  1. Users must have an account, at any Wikimedia project, which was registered before Tue, 01 Jan 2013 00:00:00 +0000 [UTC].
  2. This user account must have more than 75 edits on any single Wikimedia project before Tue, 01 Jan 2013 00:00:00 +0000 [UTC]. Please check your account eligibility at the POTY 2012 Contest Eligibility tool.
  3. Users must vote with an account meeting the above requirements either on Commons or another SUL-related Wikimedia project (for other Wikimedia projects, the account must be attached to the user's Commons account through SUL).

Hundreds of images that have been rated Featured Pictures by the international Wikimedia Commons community in the past year are all entered in this competition. From professional animal and plant shots to breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historically relevant images, images portraying the world's best architecture, maps, emblems, diagrams created with the most modern technology, and impressive human portraits, Commons features pictures of all flavors.

For your convenience, we have sorted the images into topic categories. Two rounds of voting will be held: In the first round, you can vote for as many images as you like. The first round category winners and the top ten overall will then make it to the final. In the final round, when a limited number of images are left, you must decide on the one image that you want to become the Picture of the Year.

To see the candidate images just go to the POTY 2012 page on Wikimedia Commons

Wikimedia Commons celebrates our featured images of 2012 with this contest. Your votes decide the Picture of the Year, so remember to vote in the first round by January 30, 2013.

Thanks,
the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee

Wiki Loves Monuments 2017 in the United States – Results![edit]

This user participated in Wiki Loves Monuments 2017.

Want to show your participation in Wiki Loves Monuments 2017? Add {{User Wiki Loves Monuments 2017}} to your userpage!

Thank you for contributing to Wiki Loves Monuments 2017 in the United States during the month of October! The United States contest saw over 1,400 people (the most of any nation this year) contribute over 8,000 great photos of cultural and historic sites from all over the United States and its territories. Hundreds of these photos are already being used to illustrate pages on various Wikimedia projects.

We're excited to announce that our national judging process has concluded, and that we have selected the winners of Wiki Loves Monuments 2017 in the United States! These photos are recognized for their photographic quality, artistic merit, and their encyclopedic value as illustrations of unique historical sites. We were amazed by all of the uploads, and regret only being able to formally recognize the top 10. That being said – congratulations to our national winners and their amazing shots! Our 10 winners will be sent to the international Wiki Loves Monuments jury, who will then select the winners of the international contest. If you're interested in seeing the winners of the other national contests, you may do so at Wiki Loves Monuments 2017 winners.

If you would like to view all the photos submitted for the U.S. this year, you may do so here.

Finally, we have also created a feedback form for all U.S. participants to fill out. The survey is optional and anonymous, and only takes a minute or two – we hope to use the feedback to organize better events in the future!

A quick thank you to our national jury, as well as Commons editors who have helped categorize and place photos for the event. And finally, thank you for participating in Wiki Loves Monuments and helping to preserve our history through photography - we hope to see you again for future Commons photography events!
