Tip: Categorizing images

---

Hello, Hmaag!

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.

File source is not properly indicated: File:.45_Cartridges_Tool_1879.JPG

This media may be deleted.

A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:.45_Cartridges_Tool_1879.JPG, is missing information about where it comes from or who created it, which is needed to verify its copyright status. Please edit the file description and add the missing information, or the file may be deleted. If you created the content yourself, enter {{Own}} as the source. If you did not add a licensing template, you must add one. You may use, for example, {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} or {{Cc-zero}} to release certain rights to your work. If someone else created the content, or if it is based on someone else's work, the source should be the address to the web page where you found it, the name and ISBN of the book you scanned it from, or similar. You should also name the author, provide verifiable information to show that the content is in the public domain or has been published under a free license by its author, and add an appropriate template identifying the public domain or licensing status, if you have not already done so. Warning: Wikimedia Commons takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. Please add the required information for this and other files you have uploaded before adding more files. If you need assistance, please ask at the help desk. Thank you!

File:MG Modell 11 Schweiz.JPG

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.

Oh, Hallo Hans. Habe gerade gesehen dass ich von dir ein Bild zum Löschen vorgeschlagen habe. Lizenz ist nämlich zweifelhaft. Kannst du die "echte" Quelle nennen?--Avron (talk) 19:12, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

Quelle "The Machine Gun" 1951 George M. Chinn, Lieutnant Colonel USMC. Herausgeber: US Government Office, Washington D.C. Als offizielles US Document ist es gemeinfrei. Überdies wurde das Foto vor 1900, wahrscheinlich 1884 gemacht. Den Text habe ich eingesetzt. Gruss --Hmaag (talk) 09:32, 18 October 2011 (UTC)

Copyright status: File:FN-Browning 1900.jpg

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading File:FN-Browning 1900.jpg. I notice that the file page either doesn't contain enough information about the license or it contains contradictory information about the license, so the copyright status is unclear. If you created this file yourself, then you must provide a valid copyright tag. For example, you can tag it with {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} to release it under the multi-license GFDL plus Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike All-version license or you can tag it with {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. (See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of license tags that you can use.) If you did not create the file yourself or if it is a derivative of another work that is possibly subject to copyright protection, then you must specify where you found it (e.g. usually a link to the web page where you got it), you must provide proof that it has a license that is acceptable for Commons (e.g. usually a link to the terms of use for content from that page), and you must add an appropriate license tag. If you did not create the file yourself and the specific source and license information is not available on the web, you must obtain permission through the VRT system and follow the procedure described there. Note that any unsourced or improperly licensed files will be deleted one week after they have been marked as lacking proper information, as described in criteria for deletion. If you have uploaded other files, please confirm that you have provided the proper information for those files, too. If you have any questions about licenses please ask at Commons:Village pump/Copyright or see our help pages. Thank you.

Munition pic

Hast du hier alle fotos selbst geschossen?--Sanandros (talk) 21:44, 28 July 2017 (UTC)

Die Foto der Thuer-Patrone habe ich bei einem befreundeten Sammler (der einen cased Thuer Colt Navy besitzt, siehe auch Colt Conversion Revolver gemacht, sie bearbeitet und ins Bild eingesetzt. Die anderen Patronen auf dem Bild stammen aus meiner Sammlung. -- Hmaag (talk) 10:23, 30 July 2017 (UTC)

Habe das Bild überarbeitet und im Artikel (en) Cartridge (firearms) eingesetzt. Wenn du (oben) schaust, wieviele von meinen Bildern schon gelöscht (alle selbst gemacht) worden sind, dann verstehst du, dass ich immer mehr darüber studiere, ob ich überhaupt noch Bilder einsetzen soll. -- Hmaag (talk) 15:18, 31 July 2017 (UTC)

Kannst du das noch auch beim Bild erwähnen, dass auch die Einzelfotos von dir gemacht wurden? Denn dann wissen wir was du gemacht hast. Aber schreib nicht dass die Bilder aud deiner Sammlung sind sondern dass du sie geschossen hast, ansonsten könnte man denke jemand anders hat sie geschossen. Du kannst es auch auf Deutsch schreiben wenn Englisch nicht so dein Ding ist. Thx.
Und welche pics wurden den gelöscht obwohl du sie selbst gemacht hast?--Sanandros (talk) 21:58, 31 July 2017 (UTC)

Wenn ich eine Foto selbst gemacht habe drücke ich auf: "Es ist ausschließlich meine eigene Arbeit". was dann als "Source: own" gespeichert wird. Fotos, die gelöscht worden sind habe ich öfters nochmals eingesetzt, Beispiel: "File:.45 Catridges Tool 1879.JPG". Bei anderen mit auf Adobe Photoshop bearbeiteten Aufnahmen von alten US-Waffen aus meiner Sammlung war mir der Aufwand zu gross. Mit Englisch (und Französisch) habe ich eigentlich kein Problem, meine Artikel und Bearbeitungen in Englisch werden weniger korrigiert als die in Deutsch (Mentalitätsproblen??). Gruss, -- Hmaag (talk) 10:25, 7 August 2017 (UTC)

Das ist schon ok ich weiss dass es aber manchmal zweifler gibt die dann sagen es muss von sonst irgend wo her kommen (a la unlikely to be own work). Darum schreib einfach dazu dass auch die einzelfotos von dir sind.--Sanandros (talk) 12:17, 8 August 2017 (UTC)
