Hello, Appa~commonswiki!

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.

Bienvenue sur commons et merci pour vos premières contributions.
Elles sont bienvenues, car les articles francophones sur la [ http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioindication bioindication], la palynologie, les allergies aux pollens, etc sont encore bien pauvres. Si vous avez besoin d'aide technique (pour insérer des images, faire des liens externes etc. N'hésitez pas à me demander de l'aide (vous pouvez me contacter via ma page de discussion, accessible en cliquant sur ma signature bleue en bas de ce message, ou simplement en répondant à ce msg, comme indiqué ci dessous.
J'ai déjà disposé quelques unes de vos images dans une mini-galerie dans l'article Pollen de Wikipédia, mais n'hésitez pas à ajouter des paragraphe, en présentant et illustrant les méthodologies que vous avez développé (simplement : ne pas copier un texte existant. Si vous copiez un texte fait par l'APPA, c'est possible, mais en le précisant (dans la page de discussion notamment) et en déposant une autorisation sur une page spéciale de wikipédia). Vous pouvez aussi déposer des textes entiers sur wikisource, et faire un lien à partir de wikipédia vers ce texte. Si cela vous intéresse, il est aussi possible de faire un wikilivre + complet qu'un article de wikipédia. Bien à vous, et merci pour votre travail collaboratif. <br PS: Si vous êtes débutant sur les wiki, pour répondre à ce type de msg sur une page de discussion : il suffit de commencer votre réponse par deux points (:) et de signer en fin de texte en cliquant sur le bouton signature qui est dans la série de boutons présents au dessus de la fenêtre de travail qui s'est ouverte quand vous avez cliqué sur "modifier"
PS2 : il et utile - si vous en avez le temps - d'également légender votre photo en anglais basique, ce qui permettra qu'elle soit comprise et utilisée dans un nombre plus important de pays. Vous pouvez aussi brièvement présenter l'Appa dans votre "page perso" (en anglais et français au moins, idéalement). C'est un peu de travail initial supplémentaire, mais vous verrez que vous bénéficierez en retour de la collaboration désintéressée de beaucoup de gens--F.

Your account will be renamed edit

Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Appa. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Appa~commonswiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation
