Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, Ovedc!

First steps tutorial Our first steps tour and our frequently asked questions will help you a lot after registration. They explain how to customize the interface (for example the language), how to upload files and our basic licensing policy (Wikimedia Commons only accepts free content). You don't need technical skills in order to contribute here. Be bold contributing here and assume good faith for the intentions of others. This is a wiki — it is really easy. Getting help More information is available at the community portal. You may ask questions at the help desk, village pump or on IRC channel #wikimedia-commons (webchat). You can also contact an administrator on their talk page. If you have a specific copyright question, ask at the copyright village pump. If you have experience contributing to Wikipedia, we have information that you might find useful.

Goodies, tips and tricks Put Babel boxes on your user page so others know what languages you can speak and indicate your graphic abilities. You can see the files you have uploaded in your gallery. Please sign your name on Talk pages by typing ~~~~. To link to an image page without embedding the image, type: [[:File:Foo.jpg]], which produces: File:Foo.jpg. Only upload freely licensed or public domain content. Fair use is not allowed on Commons. If you're copying files from another Wikimedia project, use the CommonsHelper. You may enable gadgets (custom features) for your account. There are several tools to upload files. Made a mistake? Do you want to have a file renamed or moved? Simply use the move link and wait for an authorized user to rename it. Do you want to have your recently uploaded picture removed? Simply tag it as {{speedy|reason for deletion}}. For more information read the full deletion guidelines.

Tip: Categorizing imagesEdit

---

Hello, Ovedc!

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.

Planimetrie tombe Necropoli TebanaEdit

Ciao, ho visto che hai ringraziato JMCC1 per il lavoro che sta svolgendo con la categorizzazione; in effetti, sto disegnando e caricando in commons le planimetrie schematiche delle TT (sino ad ora sono arrivato a 200 ed è un lavoraccio) e la categorizzazione di JMCC1 è senz'altro utile per poterle reperire più facilmente. Nella WP italiana sto procedendo a creare tutte le voci delle oltre 400 tombe (anche questo un vero lavoraccio)... per ora sono arrivato, anche lì a 200. Se vorrai dargli una "sbirciata" sarei lieto di avere un tuo parere. Saluti --Hotepibre (talk) 22:35, 27 February 2018 (UTC)

Thank you very much! You are doing great job! I will be glad to help, and I hope to do it in the next days... Ovedc (talk) 05:44, 28 February 2018 (UTC)
