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.--EugeneZelenko 16:29, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
Pay attention to copyright | Image:IE7 danish running daWiki.jpg has been marked as a copyright violation. The Wikimedia Commons only accepts free content, that is, images and other media files that can be used by anyone, for any purpose. For details on what is acceptable, please read Commons:Licensing. You can ask questions about Commons policies in Commons:Help desk.
The file you added will soon be deleted. If you believe this image is not a copyright violation, please explain why on the image description page.

Same for Image:IE7 danish.gif. Sorry, but screenshots are only allowed for free software, which IE7 is not. Regards, High on a tree 11:28, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
- I didn't realise that a screenshot of non-free (but legal) software was a problem - but I can see that it is. If I'm supposed to do anything to delete the pictures myself, please let me know. I haven't used them anywhere.

- Thanks for your understanding, somebody else has deleted them. I believe you that you didn't intend to violate any copyrights, you are not the first to run into this kind of trap with screenshots. To explain the problem a bit further: By releasing this screenshot into the public domain, you are basically saying that anybody can use any parts of it without restrictions. But the images contained some parts which are copyrighted by Microsoft, for example the back and forward buttons in the top left corner. You can avoid this kind of problem if you use a browser whose graphical elements are in the public domain. Or you can cut out the border where those graphical elements are visible and just show the web page. Of course the contents of the web page need to be under a free license, too - this is the case for Wikipedia articles but not for the Wikipedia logo (the puzzle ball): For some reason the Wikimedia foundation has decided not to put it under the GNU-FDL.
