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.File:Vanillin-Zucker.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. It simply means that one person believes that there is some specific problem with it, such as a copyright issue. Please see Commons:But it's my own work! for a guide on how to address these issues. |

Re:File:Hexafluorides.svg
editHi. The file has been reverted, but I cannot guarantee that other users will not put Chromium and Polonium back in. Thanks. --Wylve (talk) 06:30, 24 July 2012 (UTC)
- May I suggest you to discuss the issue with User:Double sharp before requesting admin protection. I do not really know much about chemistry, so I would not be able to provide enough claim for an admin protection. Thanks. --Wylve (talk) 08:46, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
Wiki Loves Monuments 2014 - Ein Wiki-Beitrag für die Denkmaltopographie
editHallo JWBE,
vor zehn Tagen endete der vierte Fotowettbewerb Wiki Loves Monuments. Du hast daran aktiv teilgenommen und wir möchten Dir dafür herzlich danken.
Mit mehr als 35 Tausend Fotos hat Deutschland wie in den Vorjahren ein gutes Ergebnis erreicht und einen Anteil von 14 % an diesem internationalen Projekt erbracht, an dem sich 40 Länder beteiligten. Sehr erfreulich ist die hohe Zahl an 651 Teilnehmern allein in Deutschland. Schon zum Abschluss des Wettbewerbs waren rund 6000 Fotos (=17 %) in Listen und Artikel eingebunden. Einen detaillierten Überblick zu den Fotos, den Bundesländern und Teilnehmern findest du auf unserer WLM-Projektseite.
Die deutsche Jury hat nun die eingereichten Beiträge übernommen und ist gegenwärtig dabei, diesen wertvollen Fotobestand zu den Kulturdenkmalen zu sichten. Am nächsten Wochenende wird in Hamburg die entscheidende Jury-Sitzung stattfinden. Wir wünschen auch Dir mit Deinem Foto-Beitrag dabei viel Glück und Erfolg. Du darfst gespannt sein und all Deine Freunde bitten, Dir die Daumen zu drücken.
Die preisgekrönten 100 Gewinner-Fotos werden in der Woche ab dem 20. Oktober veröffentlicht. Auf dieser Grundlage wird auch in diesem Jahr ein Kalender-Poster für 2015 gedruckt werden.
Auf zwei Möglichkeiten einer weiteren aktiven Mitwirkung an unserem Denkmal-Projekt möchten wir bei dieser Gelegenheit hinweisen bzw. Dich dazu einladen:
- Unsere Freunde in Österreich haben mit einem gerade gestarteten Denkmal-Cup das Editieren von Denkmallisten und Denkmalartikeln in den Focus gerückt. Bis Ende des Jahres kannst Du Punkte sammeln und Preise gewinnen. Dabei geht es mit diesem Wettbewerb nicht nur um Kulturdenkmale in AT oder D, sondern generell um Denkmale in der deutschsprachigen Wikipedia, als offen für alle Länder.
- Vom 6.-8. November findet erneut die Europäische Denkmalmesse in Leipzig statt. Mit Unterstützung von Wikimedia Deutschland e.V. werden wir zum zweiten Mal die Ergebnisse von Wiki Loves Monuments im Rahmen eines Standes sowie eines Workshops vorstellen.
- WLM-Aktivisten sind herzlich eingeladen, bei der Betreuung des Messestandes sowie in den Gesprächen über Möglichkeiten einer partnerschaftlichen Zusammenarbeit mit den Denkmalbehörden mitzuwirken. Die Reisekosten übernimmt für 8-10 registrierte Standbetreuer WMDE. Es muss nicht der gesamte Messezeitraum sein, auch eine Mitwirkung an 2 Tagen hilft uns, den Beitrag der Wikipedia für die Denkmaltopographie sichtbar zu machen.
Und schließlich gilt: Nach dem Wettbewerb ist vor dem Wettbewerb. Bereits jetzt kann jeder mit der Planung von Wiki Loves Monuments 2015 beginnen. Wir freuen uns auf Deine weiteren Beiträge für Wikimedia-Projekte.
Viel Spaß dabei wünscht Dir das Orga-Team.
( Bernd Gross), 11.10.2014
Der WLM-Countdown hat begonnen
editHallo JWBE,
nun ist es wieder soweit. Vom 1. bis zum 30. September findet zum fünften Mal der internationale Wettbewerb Wiki Loves Monuments statt. Im Mittelpunkt steht bekanntlich das Fotografieren von Kulturdenkmalen. Du hast an einem der letzten Fotowettbewerbe teilgenommen und wir freuen uns auf weitere Bildbeiträge von Dir.
Viele interessante Motive, nicht nur Burgen und Schlösser, sondern auch Fachwerkhäuser, Brücken und Brunnen, technische und Industriedenkmale und vieles mehr gibt es noch zu fotografieren, damit sie in der Wikipedia dokumentiert werden können. Nützliche Tipps findest du auf unserer WLM-Projektseite. Du kannst gerne individuell Fototouren durchführen oder aber Dich auch Gruppentouren anschließen. Besonders freuen wir uns auf Fotos, die Lücken in den Denkmallisten der Wikipedia ausfüllen.
Darüber hinaus kannst Du auch an der Arbeit der Jury teilnehmen, die Mitte Oktober die Fotos bewerten und die Gewinner ermitteln wird. Bis zum 15. August kannst du hier Deine Bewerbung einreichen.
Viel Erfolg und Spaß beim größten Fotowettbewerb der Wiki(m/p)edia in den bevorstehenden Wettbewerbswochen wünscht Dir das Orga-Team. Wir freuen uns auf Deine Fotos.

@Perhelion: @ JWBE: about this revision: look at principles on Commons:File renaming cite, please. Especially the section: "Which files should not be renamed?". It is told:
- Files should NOT be renamed only because the filename is not correctly capitalized.
- Just because images share a category does not mean that they are part of a set. Harmonization is needed only for sister projects or for using in templates.
Such a request should be declined, that's all. It is nothing personal, just the Commons rules. Wieralee (talk) 13:49, 21 November 2016 (UTC)
Page blanking without edit summary
editHi JWBE. You recently blanked a page I'd created [1] without leaving an edit summary. I had to read through your recent contributions to work out that you had in fact moved all the pages to a slightly different name. Please leave edit summaries, especially for drastic edits! Many thanks, GKFXtalk 20:59, 28 January 2018 (UTC).

Alkene-related categories
editCould you explain this and this, two patterns of changes you made to place images in less-specific categories? DMacks (talk) 12:29, 8 February 2020 (UTC)
- Category:Vinylbenzenes can only contain a pure vinylgroup as substituent, Category:Bromoalkenes can only contain real alkene derivatives. Here it is just a bromo-substituted quinone. Too specific categories could here generate a too strange impression. Regards JWBE (talk) 12:39, 8 February 2020 (UTC)
Hi, JWBE. There were files about malononitrile derivatives in Category:Malononitriles. I want to know the reason of moving them to Category:Alkene derivatives. Regards. --Leiem (talk) 17:29, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
- Hello Leiem, your compounds derived from Malononitriles and have similarities, but a new structure was formed, containing a substituted phenyl group, a C-C double bond and two nitrile groups. Today I added benzene derivatives and changed to Organobromides and Organochlorides resp. Regards JWBE (talk) 14:41, 28 July 2021 (UTC)

Source of derivative work is not properly indicated: File:HoWi IMG 5942.JPG
editThis file may be deleted. |
A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:HoWi IMG 5942.JPG, is a derivative work, containing an "image within an image". Examples of such works would include a photograph of a sculpture, a scan of a magazine cover, or a map that has been altered from the original. In each of these cases, the rights of the creator of the original must be considered, as well as those of the creator of the derivative work.
While the description page states who made this derivative work, it currently doesn't specify who created the original work, so the overall copyright status is unclear. If you did not create the original work depicted in this image, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. Please edit the file description and add the missing information, or the file may be deleted. If you created the original content yourself, enter this information as the source. If someone else created the content, 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. 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! |
Wikimedia Commons does not accept derivative works of non-free works such as File:HoWi IMG 5942.JPG. It only accepts free content, which is images and other media files that can be used by anyone, for any purpose. Reproductions of copyrighted works are also subject to the same copyright, and therefore this file must unfortunately be considered non-free. For more information, please read Commons:Derivative works and Commons:Freedom of panorama. You can ask questions about Commons policies in Commons:Help desk.
The file you added has been deleted. If you believe that this file was not a derivative work of a non-free work, you may request undeletion.

Hallo JWBE, diese rote Kategorie wird in zwei von dir angelegten Kategorien verwendet. Magst du sie anlegen? Bezüglich der korrekten Einhängung bin ich mir gerade unsicher. --Leyo 07:41, 5 September 2022 (UTC)
- Ich denke, dass "Category:Silicate esters" derzeit ausreichend ist. Ich werde es im Laufe des Tages anlegen und einhängen. JWBE (talk) 08:01, 5 September 2022 (UTC)
- Okay, danke. --Leyo 08:51, 5 September 2022 (UTC)

Leaving empty categories
editHi, I'm not sure why you have emptied Category:Naphthyl compounds, Category:1-naphthyl compounds, Category:2-naphthyl compounds and left it that way. It should be either left as a redirects (which, after all, have no negative effects) or marked for deletion. Right now these categories are neither redirects, nor deleted. Wostr (talk) 17:24, 5 October 2022 (UTC)
- Today, as an example: "JWBE moved page Category:2-chloroethanol to Category:2-Chloroethanol without leaving a redirect." I used "without leaving a redirect" in avoiding digital garbage. Regards JWBE (talk) 13:03, 7 November 2022 (UTC)
- Yep, but that's something different. My point is, instead of deleting {{Category redirect}} from unuseful category like Category:Naphthyl compounds and leaving it empty until someone find it and delete it (for a week, two, or more), you can just add {{SD}} to it and have it deleted the same day.

Could you take a look at the parent-cats for this category you created last year? Seems like they are about some fairly unrelated chemical structure. DMacks (talk) 06:27, 11 December 2023 (UTC)

Categories for File:Benzotriyne.png and friends
editI see you removed File:Benzotriyne.png from Category:Cycloalkynes. Was the only reason because it is also in Category:Cyclo(6)carbon, which was already in Category:Cycloalkynes? Or is there something different/else about the cyclo and alkyne intersection for this structure? DMacks (talk) 01:17, 1 January 2024 (UTC)
You asked for the deletion once, and it was declined. Please don't just go and renominate. If you have a query, ask, not just start an edit war. Thanks. — billinghurst sDrewth 23:12, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
