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) 11:52, 21 July 2011 (UTC)

Pay attention to licensing
|
Wikimedia Commons only accepts free content: images and other media files that can be used by anyone, for any purpose.
File:Brazil and Argentina Wikipedian Stories.jpg seems to be free (or it would be proposed for deletion), but it was identified as having a wrong license. Usually, it is because a public domain image is tagged with a free license, or because the stated source or other information is not sufficient to prove the selected tag is correct. Please verify that you applied the correct license tag for this file. If you believe this file has the correct license, please explain why on the file discussion page.

It is outdated again. :) -- とある白い猫 ちぃ? 16:23, 2 June 2012 (UTC)
- I added it on all the pages but noticed File:Ghent April 2012-2.jpg lacks a title in the blog which is why I wrote a none for now. I also noticed the emphasis on free licenses were dropped. -- とある白い猫 ちぃ? 16:40, 2 June 2012 (UTC)
- I updated the parts that were missing. Sorry, was traveling for the Foundation and didn't get back to you sooner. Matthew (WMF) (talk) 20:37, 8 June 2012 (UTC)
missing personality template
editHi Matthew, when uploading images showing identifiable people (especially portraits of women) please add per default {{Personality}} to protect their personality rigths and to prevent image abuse. Thanks. --Túrelio (talk) 14:08, 17 October 2012 (UTC)
File:Internet Brands Opp. to anti-SLAPP motion.pdf 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.

Autopatrol given
editHello. I just wanted to let you know that I have granted autopatrol rights to your account; the reason for this is that I believe you are sufficiently trustworthy and experienced to have your contributions automatically marked as "reviewed". This has no effect on your editing, it is simply intended to make it easier for users that are monitoring Recent changes or Recent uploads to find unproductive edits amidst the productive ones like yours. In addition, the Flickr upload feature and an increased number of batch-uploads in UploadWizard, uploading of freely licensed MP3 files, overwriting files uploaded by others and an increased limit for page renames per minute are now available to you. Thank you. Trijnsteltalk 23:23, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

editHi Matthew, I sent an e-mail but I'm afraid it didn't arrive. It is certainly a great pleasure to know that you are planning to publish my picture as POTD on july 9, 2013 . Please let me know how I can help you. Best regards --Wolfgang Moroder (talk) 19:21, 5 July 2013 (UTC)
- Nice article [here] but the term neonatal is wrong it should be changed to prenatal or fetal which is not the same as neonatal because the baby is unborn. Best regards and thanks you --Wolfgang Moroder (talk) 07:09, 10 July 2013 (UTC)
File tagging File:John T. Riedl crop.jpg
editThis media was probably deleted.

Thanks for uploading File:John T. Riedl crop.jpg. This media is missing permission information. A source is given, but there is no proof that the author or copyright holder agreed to license the file under the given license. Please provide a link to an appropriate webpage with license information, or ask the author or copyright holder to send an email with copy of a written permission to VRT (permissions-commons@wikimedia.org). You may still be required to go through this procedure even if you are the author yourself; please see Commons:But it's my own work! for more details. After you emailed permission, you may replace the {{No permission since}} tag with {{subst:PP}} on file description page. Alternatively, you may click on "Challenge speedy deletion" below the tag if you wish to provide an argument why evidence of permission is not necessary in this case.
Please see this page for more information on how to confirm permission, or if you would like to understand why we ask for permission when uploading work that is not your own, or work which has been previously published (regardless of whether it is your own). The file probably has been deleted. If you sent a permission, try to send it again after 14 days. Do not re-upload. When the VRT-member processes your mail, the file can be undeleted. Additionally you can request undeletion here, providing a link to the File-page on Commons where it was uploaded ([[:File:John T. Riedl crop.jpg]] ) and the above demanded information in your request. |
