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 05:57, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

File:Amsterdam after heavy snow - 16.jpg has been listed at Commons:Deletion requests so that the community can discuss whether it should be kept or not. We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at its entry.
If you created this file, please note that the fact that it has been proposed for deletion does not necessarily mean that we do not value your kind contribution.

Photos of Amsterdam
editHi Green lama, it is possible to set the true date inside of description, otherwise everybody means, that it was the march 8th (with 10 degrees Celsius or more ;-) --regards from K@rl (talk) 22:05, 8 March 2014 (UTC)
Bonjour,
Et merci pour votre participation à Wiki Loves Monuments 2015. Pour votre information, autant le château de Chenonceau est effectivement monument historique, sa réplique miniature ne l'ai pas encore. Désolée. Mais votre photo ne peut donc participer au concours. Toutefois, elle est intéressante, elle pourra surement être utile pour illustrer l'un de nos articles.

Autopatrol given
editHello. I just wanted to let you know that I have granted autopatrol rights to your account; the reason for this is that I believe you are sufficiently trustworthy and experienced to have your contributions automatically marked as "reviewed". This has no effect on your editing, it is simply intended to make it easier for users that are monitoring Recent changes or Recent uploads to find unproductive edits amidst the productive ones like yours. In addition, the Flickr upload feature and an increased number of batch-uploads in UploadWizard, uploading of freely licensed MP3 files, overwriting files uploaded by others and an increased limit for page renames per minute are now available to you. Thank you. Green Giant (talk) 21:56, 12 April 2020 (UTC)
Orgel van de Broerenkerk in Zwolle
editBeste Green lama, hartelijk dank voor de mooie foto van het orgel van de Broerenkerk in Zwolle. De beschrijving van de foto lijkt een misverstand te zijn. Van het Slegel-orgel uit 1556 is niets bewaard gebleven. Het werd waarschijnlijk gesloopt tijdens de reformatie. Het huidige orgel werd gebouwd door Scheuer in 1824, wat ook blijkt uit de aangegeven datum MDCCCXXIV. Met vriendelijke groet, --Wikiwal (talk) 11:20, 27 May 2022 (UTC)
