Goodies, tips, and tricks Put Babel boxes on your user page so others know what languages you can speak and indicate your graphic abilities. You can find the files you have uploaded in your Uploads. Please sign your name on Talk pages by typing ~~~~. To link to an image page without embedding the image, type: [[:File:Foo.jpg]], which produces: File:Foo.jpg. You may enable gadgets (custom features) for your account. There are several tools to upload files. Have you edited Wikipedia before? This guide might be useful. Made a mistake? Do you want to have a file renamed or moved? Use the move link and wait for an authorized user to rename it. Do you want to have your recently uploaded picture removed? Tag it as {{speedy|reason here}}. For more information read the deletion guidelines.

Tip: Categorizing images

---

Hello, W Nowicki!

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.

There seems to be a problem regarding the description and/or licensing of this particular file. It has been found that you've added in the image's description only a Template that's not a license and although it provides useful information about the image, it's not a valid license. Could you please resolve this problem, adding the license in the image linked above? You can edit the description page and change the text. Uploading a new version of the file does not change the description of the file. This page may give you more hints on which license to choose. Thank you.

re File:Charlesreedbishop.jpg

Are you absolutely certain that these are the same photo? The original upload seems to be of the individual significantly older than the second photo (see the bags under the eyes) with slightly different hair. - BanyanTree 09:33, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

"Ugly blotch" was almost certainly Inkscape flowtext nonsense, which you can test for at Commons:SVG Check. AnonMoos (talk) 02:37, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

Fonts are somewhat problematic (see past discussions at Commons:Graphics village pump, Meta:Talk:SVG fonts, etc. If you just want a simple sans, you may have better results with Bitstream Vera Sans or DejaVu Sans. The old standby is converting text to paths... AnonMoos (talk) 18:16, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

File:Unknown artist (after William Ellis), Funeral procession of Keōpūolani, Hawaii (c. 1823) - 02.jpg

Hey. Do you remember where you got this image from?--KAVEBEAR (talk) 00:22, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

The name did not ring a bell...ah it seems someone renamed it and added their own source. THat is certainly NOT where I got it though. I think it was the google scan of the book, but I am on my laptop now and do not have time to search. You are right I should have given page number and full cite, but that was long ago. I should have time next weekend if not found before then. W Nowicki (talk) 03:46, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

Found it. It was in one of those pdf files.--KAVEBEAR (talk) 10:59, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

Alpine Inn, Portola Valley, California

I am a former Wikipedia editor and just have a quick question concerning you photo of Alpine Inn on Alpine Rd in Ca: Are those massive eucalyptus trees still along the road near Rossotti's/Alpine Inn? sincerely, Marcia

International trucks

There is a discussion on this page whether images should be categorised as International trucks or International Harvester trucks.   Not many wikipedia contributors have contributed to the discussion or voted with their preference, but you have contributed to material on International Harvester.   I would be grateful, if you have the time, if you would share your own opinion on the page name.  And thank you.
