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) 11:40, 22 August 2011 (UTC)

File:LogoParisFC.png has been marked as a possible copyright violation. Wikimedia Commons only accepts free content—that is, images and other media files that can be used by anyone, for any purpose. Traditional copyright law does not grant these freedoms, and unless noted otherwise, everything you find on the web is copyrighted and not permitted here.

If you are the copyright holder and the creator of the file, please read Commons:But it's my own work! for tips on how to provide evidence of that.
The file you added has been deleted. If you have written permission from the copyright holder, please have them send us a free license release via COM:VRT. If you believe that the deletion was not in accordance with policy, you may request undeletion.

File:Kit_body_gremio1213h.png
editMerrrlo; I protected File:Kit_body_gremio1213h.png, the version preferred by the original uploader. Please review COM:OVERWRITE. Also, please read and heed en:WP:EW (translations available at the bottom of the left column). Please use COM:DR if you think this file should be deleted. Why do you think the admonitions of en:Template:Football_kit, e.g., "Club badges, sponsor logos, and manufacturer logos should never be included" applies to Commons? Commons is not English Wikipedia. It is worded as advice. If our Commons:Deletion policy applies, a file may be deleted, but I don't think we delete files because they violate a suggested format on an English Wikipedia template page. --Walter Siegmund (talk) 19:01, 7 June 2013 (UTC)
- I see that Sven Manguard says "de minimis does apply for logos on the torso section images, so they have to go." That makes sense to me and I've said as much on the noticeboard. Walter Siegmund (talk) 20:24, 7 June 2013 (UTC)
File:Kit body gremio1213h.png 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. |
