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) 10:57, 14 July 2011 (UTC)

ZWNJ typographic rendering images edit
Unfortunately, they're small and kind of blurry, and contain strange pink/light-blue color artefacts. The best thing to do would be to create SVG files; but if that's not convenient, the approach of File:EsZet-Beta-comparison.gif is quick and easy, and probably would be preferable...

- That's just regular en:Subpixel rendering, the images being regular screenshots. I know that SVG files would be preferrable, but the problem is I don't know (yet) how to create SVG files that use ligatures, and the whole point of these images is about the ligatures. -- j.

- Subpixel rendering is fine when it's displayed on your personal screen using your own computer's customized video driver etc. -- however, when the image is scaled down (or worse, scaled up) and displayed on a completely different computer with different characteristics, then it really doesn't add anything. I know SVG may not always be convenient, but your images would be much more useful if you would use a much larger fontsize (as with File:EsZet-Beta-comparison.gif), and preferably greyscale them before upload...
