Goodies, tips and tricks
  • Put Babel boxes on your user page so others know what languages you can speak and indicate your Graphics abilities.
  • All your uploads are stored in your personal Gallery
  • Please sign your name on Talk pages by typing ~~~~
  • Use the CommonSense tool to find good categories for your files (then other people can find them too!)
  • To link to an image page without embedding the image, type: [[:Image:Foo.jpg]], which produces: Image:Foo.jpg
  • If you're copying files from another project, be sure to use the CommonsHelper
Made a mistake?
  • Did you want to rename or move a file? Simply upload the file again and mark the old one like this: {{bad name|Correct name}}

Some help regarding your finding that text is sometimes black rectangles (File:Arasement_Joue.svg): The renderer used here does not support flow elements which are inserted by inkscape if you drag a text area. See Help:SVG#Fonts. And best test your svg before uploading here: Commons:SVG Check. Cheers --Saibo (Δ) 13:15, 18 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

Instructions for adding Vector versions of pixel graphics edit

Let's say there is an image named File:ASDFG.jpg.

Make an identical vector version of it.

Upload the new file as File:ASDFG.svg. Use the same license(s) as File:ASDFG.jpg.

Click on "edit" at the top

Change the source to say something like, "Vector image by User:Gregors, derived from ASDFG.jpg"

At the bottom, add the same categories as File:ASDFG.jpg.

Also add an SVG category if appropriate.

Click on "save"

Then go to File:ASDFG.jpg

Click on "edit" at the top

Add

 
File:ASDFG.svg is a vector version of this file.

Error: No SVG image by that name exists. Please make sure to use the correct format: {{Vector version available|new image name}}.


File:Gregors → File:ASDFG.svg

Click on "save"

Note that the word "File" is not used in the template -- the template will add it automatically. You may then go to each of the uses of the old file and change the link to the svg, but that is not essential and may be difficult in some WP languages that you can not read.

(note the "|" instead of "/") to non-SVG versions is generally sufficient. -- Docu at 05:33, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

Very true, but I have found the various special purpose uploaders confusing and difficult on occasion, so I stick to the general purpose one and recommend it for newbies and experienced users. Jim . . . . Jameslwoodward (talk to me) 10:36, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

Hi Gregors!

Read your note and instructions above. When I generate the sky plots with Aladin at SIMBAD, I drag the image over to a file and it is copied as a .png. To make it a .svg, is all I have to do is change .png to .svg or change it with an application like Preview (I have an Imac)? I'll try one and see what happens.

Hello, Gregors!
 
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.

Lee Ranch Wind Speed Frequency svg edit

Gregors - thanks for your contribution. "Wind power" at Wikipedia is currently under a large rewrite, and it was noted by another editor that this graph does not have numerical values along the right-side, making it somewhat confusing. I would assume that the values for MWh are the same as those for hours, but it's that assumption that is being questioned. Your input is appreciated.

 

--E8 (talk) 17:45, 6 April 2012 (UTC)Reply

There are no values on the right because this graph is general and not specific for a given turbine but for the energy available for a given distribution of wind speeds.
