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.CategorizationBot (talk) 10:50, 28 November 2009 (UTC)

Hallo Hfroisdorf,
bei deinen jüngsten Uploads gibt es etwas Korrekturbedarf. Bei den meisten Bildern hast du im Feld Datum das Uploaddatum eingesetzt. Dort gehört aber entweder das wirkliche Aufnahmedatum oder bei Kunstwerken das Datum (Jahr) der Errichtung hin.
- File:Wilhelm Maucher.JPG - hast du dieses Photo im Original wirklich selbst aufgenommen? Denn das von dir eingetragene Datum 2009 ist natürlich nicht richtig, da der Abgebildete bereits 1993 verstorben ist. Oder hast du vielleicht nur eine existierendes Photo reproduziert?
- bei den Bildern von den Tafeln am Friedensweg solltest du als Autor primär Wilhelm Maucher angeben, weil der Text ja von ihm stammen dürfte.
