Deletion requests[edit]
Hi, please note that the deletion request you weighed in on was closed as keep. Please do not edit closed discussions. However, feel free to open a new deletion request for the video if you wish, but bear in minds arguments relating to "I don't like seeing masturbation videos" will get short shrift here. Thanks. -mattbuck (Talk) 01:46, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
- I wasn't intending to imply that it might be, just that that should not be used as any sort of argument in a deletion request. I know that such things can be contentious, but it's my opinion that the exhibitionists are people like me who upload hundreds of photos of their own, rather than those who for some reason feel the need to video their penis. -mattbuck (Talk) 23:43, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
- I'm sorry. I've been a bit preoccupied recently. You're right, I was presumtuous and did not assume good faith. You have my sincerest apologies. -mattbuck (Talk) 12:57, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
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.BotMultichillT (talk) 05:37, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
