Help request

Hello there. For some reason I am unable to move image pages and rename them. The following image: Image:Elvin Jones.jpg is problematic because there is one of the same name at Wikipedia of a weird painting that is barely relevant. If you are able to rename an image, or can tell me how, I would be much obliged. I previously reuploaded under a different name but, alas, an administrator here deleted it for being a duplicate. I wish they'd have checked to see if it appeared on Wikipedia. (Mind meal 17:55, 1 May 2008 (UTC))

What you can do is reupload it at whatever you would like the new name to be, then make a request at User talk:CommonsDelinker/commands to have it universally replaced (ie. all uses of old name on all projects are changed to the new name). After that, tag the old (now unused) image with {{Duplicate}} and it can be deleted (or just ask me and I'll hit the button). giggy _(:O) 01:07, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks

Nice job at Image:Seattle - Minor Hospital - 1917 edit 1.jpg. What tool did you use? - Jmabel ! talk 22:24, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, that was all just manual manipulation with the warp tool in Photoshop, I don't recall if I used anything else. Mr.Z-man (talk) 22:44, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

Tip: Categorizing images

---

Hello, Mr.Z-man!

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.

File:Chapter_lolcat.jpg has been listed at Commons:Deletion requests so that the community can discuss whether it should be kept or not. We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at its entry. If you created this file, please note that the fact that it has been proposed for deletion does not necessarily mean that we do not value your kind contribution. It simply means that one person believes that there is some specific problem with it, such as a copyright issue. Please see Commons:But it's my own work! for a guide on how to address these issues. Please remember to respond to and – if appropriate – contradict the arguments supporting deletion. Arguments which focus on the nominator will not affect the result of the nomination. Thank you!

2012 Picture of the Year: A pair of European Bee-eaters in Ariège, France.

Dear Wikimedians,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the second round of the 2013 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year will be the eighth edition of the annual Wikimedia Commons photo competition, which recognizes exceptional contributions by users on Wikimedia Commons. Wikimedia users are invited to vote for their favorite images featured on Commons during the last year (2013) to produce a single Picture of the Year.

Hundreds of images that have been rated Featured Pictures by the international Wikimedia Commons community in the past year were entered in this competition. These images include professional animal and plant shots, breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historical images, photographs portraying the world's best architecture, impressive human portraits, and so much more.

There are two total rounds of voting. In the first round, you voted for as many images as you liked. The top 30 overall and the most popular image in each category have continued to the final. In the final round, you may vote for just one image to become the Picture of the Year.

Round 2 will end on 7 March 2014. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Commons:Picture_of_the_Year/2013/Introduction/en Click here to learn more and vote »]

Thanks,
the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee
