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) 10:44, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

Hi Jan Hamsik, I have reverted your edit, as this pictures does show Rembrandt's Night Watch, and this is the best matching category. regards --Herzi Pinki (talk) 20:23, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

Hi Jan,
please do not use the {{bad name}} command without providing an other or better filename. I had told you this already here and here. As you choose to ignore that, I've reverted all your recent incomplete bad name requests. --Túrelio (talk) 13:29, 1 August 2010 (UTC)
File:ProgramPM.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. |

"Bad name"
editYou tagged a few files, such as File:Mona Lisa5 smery.jpg and File:Madona 1895-1902 uo.jpg, with the template {{Bad name}}. Unfortunately, you never specified the corrected file name, so these images cannot be deleted. If you uploaded a file under the correct file name, please include that correct file name in future requests; if you are instead requesting a file be moved to a correct file name, please use the template {{Rename}}, again specifying the correct file name. Thanks, and leave a message on my talk page if you have any questions about this issue. — Huntster (t @ c) 07:31, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
