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) 10:43, 6 June 2010 (UTC)

Copyright status: File:Mg-ady am-panarahana.ogg
editThis media may be deleted. |
Thanks for uploading File:Mg-ady am-panarahana.ogg. 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. |

Doubt in Malagasy Pronunciation
editHi Jagwar, I have a doubt in your pronunciation audios, See these audios File:Mg-ady antsanga.ogg and Lingua Libre audio File:LL-Q7930 (mlg)-Jagwar-ady antsanga.wav sounds literately different right? I need a answer for this, Because I am adding your audios in Tamil Wiktionary Thank you! Sriveenkat (talk) 17:24, 5 September 2023 (UTC)
- Hi Sriveenkat, after checking please use the Lingua Libre pronunciation as the audio quality is much better. After checking the files in Category:Malagasy_pronunciation, it seems that the audio files Mg-xxxx.wav have been mislabelled during the export and thus were imported under a wrong name... I'm fixing that now, and thank you for bringing this up. Nothing especially hard here though, the pronunciaion and the file names are only off by one. —Jagwar (talk) 18:16, 5 September 2023 (UTC)
- Ok, Thank you 👍 I will add your Lingua Libre Audios by checking audio quality. Sriveenkat (talk) 18:25, 5 September 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks, I have just put a file renaming request on the offending files, so in the meantime please use the Lingua libre audios. --̴̴ Jagwar (talk) 19:27, 5 September 2023 (UTC)
- Sorry to bother you, These audios also mismatching File:Mg-alahady.ogg and File:LL-Q7930 (mlg)-Jagwar-alahady.wav Which is correct pronunciation? Sriveenkat (talk) 06:47, 6 September 2023 (UTC)
- Both are correct. Jagwar (talk) 08:43, 6 September 2023 (UTC)
- Really Thanks Sriveenkat (talk) 08:47, 6 September 2023 (UTC)
