Tip: Categorizing images edit
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.CategorizationBot (talk) 10:53, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

Was this a mistake? You can certainly have a gallery for
separate from the existing gallery for
but it would usually not have ".jpg" at the end of the name. If it was a mistake, there are two ways to correct it: If you want it to be a gallery named
then put
- {{rename|Couroupita guianensis fruits|Name should not have .jpg}}
at the beginning of the text and an admin will rename it. If you just want it deleted, put
- {{speedydelete|This was a mistake}}
at the beginning of the text and an admin will delete it. If I can help, just ask. . . . . Jim . . . . Jameslwoodward (talk • contribs) 12:23, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
