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) 13:23, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

Tridib Mitra & Falguni Ray Files
editAs directed, I have added the categories. However I was unable to do anything for the above two images as they have been deleted and could not be reloaded. Please guide how to reload them.Shankar Sen (talk) 14:40, 3 October 2011 (UTC)

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. |
Pictures Owned by me
editSince the pictures have already been deleted I do not know if there is any use of discussions.Shankar Sen (talk) 14:48, 28 October 2011 (UTC)
Sir, I do not find reason that you cannot upload the same pictures again... with proper tags... If for some reason the system refuses by the same pic name e.g. Debashis.jpg then use something like debashism.jpg or debashis77.jpg
Copyright status: File:Science as Culture.jpg
editThis media may be deleted. |
Thanks for uploading File:Science as Culture.jpg. I notice that the file page either doesn't contain enough information about the license or it contains contradictory information about the license, so the copyright status is unclear.
If you created this file yourself, then you must provide a valid copyright tag. For example, you can tag it with {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} to release it under the multi-license GFDL plus Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike All-version license or you can tag it with {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. (See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of license tags that you can use.) If you did not create the file yourself or if it is a derivative of another work that is possibly subject to copyright protection, then you must specify where you found it (e.g. usually a link to the web page where you got it), you must provide proof that it has a license that is acceptable for Commons (e.g. usually a link to the terms of use for content from that page), and you must add an appropriate license tag. If you did not create the file yourself and the specific source and license information is not available on the web, you must obtain permission through the VRT system and follow the procedure described there. Note that any unsourced or improperly licensed files will be deleted one week after they have been marked as lacking proper information, as described in criteria for deletion. If you have uploaded other files, please confirm that you have provided the proper information for those files, too. If you have any questions about licenses please ask at Commons:Village pump/Copyright or see our help pages. Thank you. |

Hi. You asked for help. You asked for help in very wrong place, but I noticed it anyway. You asked, why your uploads are deleted. You claimed them own work. But it is not true, because you are not the original photographer. You claimed, that the original photographer is dead for eighty years. If this is true, then the photos are free and they can stay in Commons. But who is the original photographer? How do you know, that he is eighty years dead? Please do not answer here. Please explain it in deletion requests of your files. Taivo (talk) 16:00, 10 June 2014 (UTC)

editPlease do not add/revert Uli Beisel's (spelling is not Biesel, by the way) work, she objected to it, for goddness sake. She herself had removed the citation. Her footnote regarding Mr B was her personal observation, but not documented record, and it was entirely out-of-context of her research paper to use in such perspective. Moreover the entire article may be removed due to lack of verifiable source, including several images you have attempted to upload both in en.wiki and Commons.
