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) 11:06, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

適切なカテゴリー edit
突然の連絡、失礼いたします。お写真をありがとうございます。 File:Ibaraki pref road 201 in Shimohirooka, Tsukuba.JPGに関することですが、カテゴリを選択する際、 ・より細かい具体的なカテゴリに配置する というルールがあります(たとえば、人の写真を全部、category:Menとかに入れたら大変ですよね)。
このお写真ですと、 Category:Ibaraki prefectural roads Category:Tsukuba, Ibaraki Category:Prefectural roads in Japan の3つのカテゴリが設定されていますが、 Category:Prefectural roads in Japan へ入れることは不要かと思われます(Category:Ibaraki prefectural roadsはCategory:Prefectural roads in Japanに入っているため)。
Category:Prefectural roads in Japanは目次のようなページと考えれば、「目次に本文がすべて再掲されている」本は変ですよね。
次回からのご参考までに。失礼いたします--Hohoho (talk) 17:51, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
Hohohoさんへ edit
返事が遅くなりましたが、上記の件でのご指摘丁寧にありがとうございます。
私自身、画像をどのカテゴリに入れればよいものかよく把握していませんでした。より細かい具体的なカテゴリに入れればよいのですね。
今後は気をつけるとともに、やり方にそぐわない分類になっている画像に関しましては、時間がかかるかもしれませんが順次修正していきたいと思います。--Onちゃん (talk) 10:27, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
