Tip: Categorizing images

---

Hello, דקי!

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:Channeled Scablands during flood.jpg

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.

File source is not properly indicated: File:Volcanic_arc_heb.jpg

This media was probably deleted.

A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:Volcanic_arc_heb.jpg, was missing information about where it comes from or who created it, which is needed to verify its copyright status. The file probably has been deleted. If you've got all required information, request undeletion providing this information and the link to the concerned file ([[:File:Volcanic_arc_heb.jpg]]). If you created the content yourself, enter {{Own}} as the source. If you did not add a licensing template, you must add one. You may use, for example, {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} or {{Cc-zero}} to release certain rights to your work. If someone else created the content, or if it is based on someone else's work, the source should be the address to the web page where you found it, the name and ISBN of the book you scanned it from, or similar. You should also name the author, provide verifiable information to show that the content is in the public domain or has been published under a free license by its author, and add an appropriate template identifying the public domain or licensing status, if you have not already done so. Warning: Wikimedia Commons takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. Please add the required information for this and other files you have uploaded before adding more files. If you need assistance, please ask at the help desk. Thank you!

File tagging File:JohnMcphee.jpg

This media was probably deleted.

Thanks for uploading File:JohnMcphee.jpg. This media is missing permission information. A source is given, but there is no proof that the author or copyright holder agreed to license the file under the given license. Please provide a link to an appropriate webpage with license information, or ask the author or copyright holder to send an email with copy of a written permission to VRT (permissions-commons@wikimedia.org). You may still be required to go through this procedure even if you are the author yourself; please see Commons:But it's my own work! for more details. After you emailed permission, you may replace the {{No permission since}} tag with {{subst:PP}} on file description page. Alternatively, you may click on "Challenge speedy deletion" below the tag if you wish to provide an argument why evidence of permission is not necessary in this case. Please see this page for more information on how to confirm permission, or if you would like to understand why we ask for permission when uploading work that is not your own, or work which has been previously published (regardless of whether it is your own). The file probably has been deleted. If you sent a permission, try to send it again after 14 days. Do not re-upload. When the VRT-member processes your mail, the file can be undeleted. Additionally you can request undeletion here, providing a link to the File-page on Commons where it was uploaded ([[:File:JohnMcphee.jpg]]) and the above demanded information in your request.

File:Saharan Metacraton he.jpg

Hi, i noted your woark about geology of negev area. Should you add to the main description a brief translation (in english, french in example) of the legend appearing in the picture. Thank youCiaurlec (talk) 11:26, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

There is a similar file in English: Saharan Metacraton.svg. I hope it helps you. דקי (talk) 00:24, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

I make an improper demand, sorry. I want ot make an .he version of the original SVG file, (because that format is ready to be modified from eny evenience). It had to be used instead of jpg file. Should you send me the right set of characters (a plain text in example) to insert there making it also readeble from hebraic speakers?Ciaurlec (talk) 00:22, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

Now I understand you

• Cratons:
  • West African Craton = קראטון מערב אפריקה
  • Tuareg Block = גוש טוארג
  • Benin Nigerian Block = גוש בנין-ניגירה
  • Saharan Metacraton = קראטון סהרה
  • Oubangides = חגורת מרכז אפריקה
  • Congo / Tanzania Craton = קראטון קונגו/טנזניה
  • Aranian Nubian Shield = השילד הערבו-נובי
• Legend:
  • Archean = ארכאיקון
  • Pre-Neoproterozoic = קדם-נאופרוטרוזואיקון
  • Mesoproterosoic = מזופרוטרוזואיקון
  • Neoproterozoic = נאופרוטרוזואיקון

I hope this is clear. Thank You. דקי 14:23, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

File:Pumice Raft.jpg has been marked as a possible copyright violation. Wikimedia Commons only accepts free content—that is, images and other media files that can be used by anyone, for any purpose. Traditional copyright law does not grant these freedoms, and unless noted otherwise, everything you find on the web is copyrighted and not permitted here. For details on what is acceptable, please read Commons:Licensing. You may also find Commons:Copyright rules useful, or you can ask questions about Commons policies at the Commons:Help desk. If you are the copyright holder and the creator of the file, please read Commons:But it's my own work! for tips on how to provide evidence of that. The file you added has been deleted. If you have written permission from the copyright holder, please have them send us a free license release via COM:VRT. If you believe that the deletion was not in accordance with policy, you may request undeletion. (It is not necessary to request undeletion if using VRT; the file will be automatically restored at the conclusion of the process.)

Can you please explain, why you wrote "US Geoological Survey" as the source? --Martin H. (talk) 23:40, 15 July 2011 (UTC)

My mistake. I'm used to upload files from usgs.gov. The source for this file is NASA Observatory. Is it possible to undo the deletion? דקי (talk) 09:55, 16 July 2011 (UTC)

Overlooked this: No, the source is a private persons website, not any government source (deeplink file). --Martin H. (talk) 16:09, 3 January 2012 (UTC)
