Tip: Categorizing images

---

Hello, The High Fin Sperm Whale!

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.

Phoebus Project

For backgrounds was very simple I reworked all the images with Photoshop. For the light I have two Mini-synchronous flash I do not use very rarely. I prefer continuous light with LED lamps. I use 4, they are easy to obtain ...

http://www.ikea.com/fr/fr/catalog/products/70123682

Specimens from my collection, or that of the Museum of Toulouse, but in this case is reported.

I have the honor to chair the Institute of Natural Sciences of Toulouse and we convinced the Museum of Toulouse (2nd of France) for allowing us to take photographs and put them in the Commons (Phoebus project). We begin with the prehistory because the historical collections are very rich (Toulouse is the first city in the world to open a university professor of prehistory in 1882). The project starts immediately, the goal is for Commons images have good well-referenced. For museums to mount what he has because 95% of collections are not show permanently. When the project started well pressed hope that other museums and other institutions were opening their doors to the Commons so that together we share the knowledge.

Bonjour.
I'm sorry, I don't understand the words you use "how come mentioning..." ? Could you please translate in basic (google) English ? What I can say: I remember a very long discussion here and on his talk page about the fight of Snowmanradio concerning the files extensions .JPG or .jpg. I said that I disagreed with Snowmaradio about his vision of the "Commons" policy, but I promised too to use from now on a lower case extension .jpg. Then, I nominate two pics for FPC, (for some months already on "Commons"), and with a upper case file extension .JPG. I'm sorry for that, and it's a wink for the community. Did I make a blunder ? I apologize if I did...Regards --Jebulon (talk) 22:47, 9 May 2010 (UTC)

french translation

Salut. I had a look on George Chernilevski talk page and I saw your question about "pour". I think you undestood that it means "support", because of the little green cross, but it's not enough. As you know, French is a latin language, and POUR (prononced approx. like a short "poor") is the french word for the latin "PRO", used in English too. The opposite is CONTRE (latin CONTRA), in English AGAINST. --Jebulon (talk) 08:41, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

review

•  Question Why does this camera in particular is notable enough to warrant a scope? The scope seems pretty narrow to me. --Eusebius (talk) 10:13, 4 June 2010 (UTC)
  • We have some other VI that are in the scope of a specific type of camera (see File:Yashica mat 124G - WLF ouvert.jpg and File:Leica M1.jpg)
    •  Support The Yashica was about a whole series which is quite significant, and there is a Wikipedia article about the Leica M1. I see it is also the case about this model, so I assume, as usual, that if a subject is worth a WP article, then it is worth a VI scope. I'm not sure it's worth a WP article, but well, I'm not a WP editor :-) FYI we have several other camera scopes, but in the cases I have in mind, an explanation was provided about why the scope was notable enough. All criteria ok. --Eusebius (talk) 20:03, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

 Oppose as not yet eligible for VI status. Thank you for nominating this image. Unfortunately, it cannot at present become a valued image since it currently fails valued image criterion 5 (should be geocoded, but is not). "All images are expected to be geocoded unless it would not be appropriate to do so". I have not reviewed the nomination against all the criteria, but if you are able to fix this issue and would like me to re-evaluate the image please leave me a message on my talk page. -- Lycaon (talk) 06:08, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

• For a plane in front of sky without ground? --Ikar.us (talk) 09:46, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
  • I agree. Geocoding should add something to images it's required for. It's hard to see how an image of a moving object, with no identifiable landmarks in the image, would be improved in any way. I suppose we could give the airfield it flies out of, which could be valuable, but I don't think it's necessary, and hence  Support as (arguably) best in scope.

•  Oppose as not yet eligible for VI status. Thank you for nominating this image. Unfortunately, it cannot at present become a valued image since it currently fails valued image criterion 5 (should be geocoded, but is not). "All images are expected to be geocoded unless it would not be appropriate to do so". I have not reviewed the nomination against all the criteria, but if you are able to fix this issue and would like me to re-evaluate the image please leave me a message on my talk page. --Rastaman3000 (talk) - Visit my new user-page! 15:30, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
•  Strong support It well illustrates the focus stacking technique, instead of object. Any object can be used. There is no necessity for geocode in this case. Very encyclopedic -- George Chernilevsky ^talk 09:52, 31 July 2010 (UTC)

After reading your comment, I've decided to remove my vote. --Rastaman3000 (talk) - Visit my new user-page! 15:00, 31 July 2010 (UTC)

•  Comment Was not well categorized for this scope then (criterion 6), but instead of opposing for that motive, I've added Category:Focus stacking... ;-) Further note to nominator : Please link to the relevant Commons gallery or category when it exists, in order to ease review; see Commons:Valued image scope#Links in the scope --Myrabella (talk) 12:52, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

review

•  Question Could File:Dragonfly ran-579 Whitetail f.jpg be a better illustration of the subject? -- King of Hearts (talk) 00:48, 22 August 2010 (UTC)
  • Perhaps, if it were geocoded. --The High Fin Sperm Whale 00:37, 22 August 2010 (UTC)
    • But assuming that the other picture is more valuable, then it doesn't have to be geocoded to be considered for opposing this nom. I'm not saying it is more valuable, as both have their advantages and disadvantages. This one has more resolution and shows more of the habitat; the other one offers a more direct angle-of-view. I can't decide at this point, so let's wait for someone else to make the call. -- King of Hearts (talk) 00:55, 22 August 2010 (UTC)
•  Comment Now, isn't this rather Libellula forensis? --Quartl (talk) 18:42, 22 August 2010 (UTC)
•  Oppose Incorrect identification IMO. I agree with User:Quartl -- George Chernilevsky ^talk 11:36, 23 August 2010 (UTC)
