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.BotMultichillT (talk) 05:55, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

Kategorisierung
editHallo MCaviglia
Konkret Zürich betreffend, schliesse ich mich dem obigen Anliegen an, hier aber im umgekehrten Sinn, konkret zu Deinen kürzlichen Uploads zu "Helvetiaplatz", "Masoala" und gerade eben "Bäckeranlage".
Vermeide bitte, zusätzlich (am Beispiel "Bäckeranlage") zu Category:Aussersihl die Kategorie "Zürich" verwenden. Warum? "Aussersihl", das ja ein Category:Quarters of Zürich ist, ist eine "Unterkategorie" von Category:Zürich.
Hingegen steht es Dir völlig frei, beispielsweise Category:Panoramics of Zürich, Category:Buildings in Zürich, Category:Parks in Zürich etc.etc. zusätzlich zu verwenden.
Oder bei uploads von mehreren Bildern vom gleichen "Sujet", eine neue Kategorie einzurichten, was der Übersichtlichkeit zugute kommt und sich m.E. empfiehlt, wenn beispielsweise in der Deutschsprachigen Wikipedia ein (gleichnamiger) Artikel besteht.
Schöne Grüsse nach/aus Zürich, Roland 19:57, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

editDear MCaviglia, Hi, My father is publishing a small book of his memoirs (in the US). It will have a small circulation (<2000) since it is mainly of interest to his family and friends. There is a section devoted to his memories of Singapore since he lived there for a couple of years. He loves the picture, SingaporeHindu02.jpg, you posted on Wikipedia and would like to use it in his book. It would be an image that appears inside the book . I want to check if it is OK that he use the photo. If it is, how would you like him to credit the photo. My email address is dorines@gmail.com. Thank you very much for your time and consideration.
