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?

Tip: Categorizing images

Hello, Silverhill!

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.

Dear Silverhill, I am an Associate Editor of the Journal of Chemical Education. We are a not-profit organization that publishes articles about Chemistry in Education and we develop tools to help teachers to improve their chemistry courses. I would like to use several of you pictures for an article in the JCE. I would like to know if we can use the following picture

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Ti,22.jpg

in a printed article in the Journal and in the online resources of the Journal. The license that is now on the picture requires us to put a complete history with attribution and a copy of the license or a link to the license online. This is difficult to do within the confines of a print magazine such as JCE.

With kind Regards

Juliane Ober

Please help yourself to the use of this image, or any of the others! I want them to be used for education, and I appreciate the opportunity. Silverhill (talk) 19:33, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

	Hey, as a heads up the picture of the "Living specimen (female)" is not of a Diana Fritillary but a picture of a different species, the Red-spotted Purple (Limenitis arthemis). TallyCannon (talk) 01:18, 14 January 2015 (UTC)

Sorry for my delay in responding; Real Life gets in the way sometimes. Thanks for the heads-up on the type of butterfly, and thanks to (whomever...you, perhaps?) for correcting the page. Silverhill (talk) 22:15, 26 March 2015 (UTC)
