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) 11:03, 4 December 2010 (UTC)

Bonjour,
Je vous ai envoyé un email ce jour à propos de la suppression du fichier image Blason de Baudus.gif, que je ne comprends pas. Vous m'avez retransmis le bandeau indiquant que cet ajout violait le droit d'auteur, sans pour autant m'indiquer la source du problème.
J'ai importé ce fichier, afin de pouvoir envoyer la demande de consentement au propriétaire du site web d'où provient l'image : www.genheral.com. Ensuite, ce même propriétaire a transmis son autorisation par email à permissions-commons-fr@wikimedia.org.
Qu'ai-je fait de travers? et surtout comment puis-je rectifier le tire pour publier ce blason?
Merci de votre réponse,
