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.

Over categorization

Hi:

Could you use only the most related categories. For instance avoid Category:Mexico and Category:Chihuahua (state) when the photo is describing Ciudad Juárez and you put Category:Ciudad Juárez. Secondly, please avoid mass uploading with the same categories for all the photos in the group, each photos usually should have its own set of categories that are the most related. For instance, categories such as Skylines or Cities are not precise enough and should be avoided with more precise sub-categories.
