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.BotMultichillT 06:14, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

jolies images edit
Bonjour, bienvenue sur Commons et merci pour vos jolies images. Si je peux me permettre un conseil ou deux :
- mettre des categories : souvent le nom scientifique de l'espece, ou juste le nom du genre, conviennent
- mettre dans la description le nom de l'espece avec un lien : Labroides dimidiatus plutot que juste Labroides dimidiatus
Bien a vous, Frédéric (talk) 10:36, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
I use some of your photos edit
Hello Daniel!
I have used a pair of photos of Alcyonium digitatum in my free software educational proyect "Animalandia" (http://animalandia.educa.madrid.org)
You can see directly in the follow link and clic over "Siguiente" ("Next") several times:
http://animalandia.educa.madrid.org/imagen.php?id=45166
If you wish (and I hope yes), you can send me (via fernando.lison@educa.madrid.org) some letters or/and a photo for your "contributor profile" in Animalandia:
http://animalandia.educa.madrid.org/autor.php?nombre=Daniel%20Devos
I want show to my students (and so everybody) that Animalandia is make for "real person", and I can tell them about "generosity", "share" and other similar words that we use very few at this time...
This is my "contributor profile" and others, for example:
http://animalandia.educa.madrid.org/autor.php?nombre=Fernando%20Lis%F3n%20Mart%EDn
http://animalandia.educa.madrid.org/autor.php?nombre=Carmen%20Jim%E9nez
http://animalandia.educa.madrid.org/autor.php?nombre=David%20P%E9rez
http://animalandia.educa.madrid.org/autor.php?nombre=Steve%20Garvie%20%28Rainbirder%29
In the future, I use more of your photos, I sure!
Thank you for the licence and, of course, for your splendid photos!!
Regards!
