Please link images edit
Hello!
Thank you for providing images to the Wikimedia Commons. Please keep in mind that images uploaded to the Commons should be useful to all users of Wikimedia projects. This is possible only if the images can be found by other people.
To allow others to find the images you uploaded here, the images should be in some place that can be found by navigating the category structure. This means that you should put the images into appropriate category and optionally place the images on topic pages (galleries), or do both (see Commons:Categories). To find good categories for your images, the CommonSense tool may help.
You can find a convenient overview of your uploaded files in this gallery.
The important point is that the images should be placed in the general structure somewhere. There are a large number of completely unsorted images on the Commons right now. If you would like to help to place some of those images where they can be found, please do!
Thank you. --EugeneZelenko 15:08, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
Please give images better names edit
I noticed you've uploaded some images and I thought I should turn your attention to a common error.
Please give uploaded images meaningful names. Otherwise they are difficult to track and it is hard to tell what the image is about without actually looking at it. I suggest you rename your image with an intuitive name that describes the image itself. Thanks, and happy editing! --EugeneZelenko 15:08, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
- Hallo Eugene,
- Thank You for Your comment! You are right, the name of this picture should be changed. This was my first try to upload a picture and I forgot to change the the name. Now I have a problem, I don´t know how to change the name. I tried it, but I fear I was not successful. If You know how it works, would You be so kind to tell me?
- Thank You very much!

- Unfortunately MediaWiki doesn't support image renaming. You need just upload image with new name and then place {{Bad name}} on old one. --EugeneZelenko 14:10, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

Hello, and thank your for sharing your files with Commons. There seems to be a problem regarding the description and/or licensing of this particular file. Please remember that all uploads require source, author and license information. Could you please resolve these problems, which are described on the page linked in above? Thank you. --Siebrand 18:49, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
