image:Buchenwald Slave Laborers Liberation.jpg is a much larger version of the same photograph --Pieter Kuiper 10:58, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

• Keep For all practical purposes, yes, but the larger DVIC version has a stamp of the Signal Corps in the lower left corner and the serial number in the bottom right corner has been (somewhat awkwardly) digitally removed (by the DVIC people). Lupo 12:03, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
  • You are probably right. I can also see traces now. The number 203647-S looks original. Withdrawing the nomination. One should probably put a note pointing to the lower resolution version. /Pieter Kuiper 12:42, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Kept. Request withdrawn. Lupo 08:32, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

Categorizing

Hi! It is of course very much appreciated that you are uploading material here, and it is excellent that you put them in a category. But it would be even better if you could put the images in more specific categories. I noticed that the category:The Holocaust was flooded by images about Buchenwald. Last night I moved a part of them to subcategories of category:Buchenwald concentration camp. So please do load up more, but do it in the right categories. /Pieter Kuiper 11:16, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Pieter - Thank you for moving the photos to the appropriate location. As you can see the museum added over 200 Buchenwald images, and I would want them to be in the appropriate location. In the future, I will be more diligent about making sure our uploads go in the appropriate category.

Nazi Christianity

I've uploaded a collection of USHMM pictures about Christianity and Nazism. Can we keep them? --Nyo 22:59, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

Tip: Categorizing images

---

Hello, USHMM!

Tip: Add categories to your files

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.
