[edit] Wikimedia Commonplace

Hi Dozenist. Welcome to the Commons! I notice you've been uploading a lot of photos. That's wonderful! I just want to point out that your work isn't done once the photo is uploaded. We need as much information as possible about each photo, including what it depicts and where and when it was taken. Also, many of your categories need to be fixed. For example, there is no Category:TN, and there never will be. You need to go through and change it to Category:Tennessee. I'm sure there are other examples. Thanks, dbenbenn | talk 16:59, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Hey, it was good to get a welcome message from you. I am absolutely certain the catagories need to be fixed on some photos I uploaded last nite. I have contributed other pictures before, but they were one at a time and were done directly in the internet browser. Last nite, on the other hand, I was using a program (is it called wikimedia commonplace??) to help me upload huge bulks of pictures and, as I am sure you would know, writing a lot of text for all of them at one time can get very tiresome. I figured I can go back to fill in more information if I need to. Some catagories (for example, any of the two word catagories) I did not know how the program would interpret them. I will go back and help fix some of them, and I am sure there will be other helping me too. Other catagories, such as the one named "Changing of the Peruvian National Guards", I thought would be appropriate to be created because of the number of photos and its importance. Let me know what you think. Thanks. -dozenist 18:29, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
I'm glad you're planning to do some work categorizing your photos! Sometimes we get people who don't bother to do that final, important step. I definitely approve of Category:Changing of the Peruvian National Guards. It would be good if you could add more information about it at the category page. dbenbenn | talk 19:06, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Palm Tree on Panamanian Beach at the Decameron Resort 01.jpg

Regarding this image, I am pretty sure that it isn't a Roystonea regia, as it's labelled. I believe it's a Manila Palm. Guettarda 05:16, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] copyright question

hi dozenist, my name is Seamus O'Bric and i'm a science teacher in Ireland. of about 750 secondary schools in Ireland maybe 50 are Irish speaking, and there is no irish science text book, which is why i wrote one...the only thing is i need nice pretty pictures to fill it with now...i saw you have some lovely pictures of incisors and molars on wikimedia commons, and read the copyright controls, but still aint too sure what i should do to abide by these rules. i do intend to print the text book commercially to distribute nationwide, so all i need to know is, can i use your images andf what do i need to do? the pictures will not be place on any back front outside or inside cover thanx seamus

Hello Dozenist!

Thank you for providing images to Wikimedia Commons. Commons images are used by editors on many projects in many languages. Each image is put into categories. This helps other editors find them. Please add categories to each image you upload.

To add an image to a category, add the following code to the end of the page.

[[Category:Category Name]]

For example, if you are uploading a diagram showing the orbit of comets, add the following to the image description page:

[[Category:Astronomy diagrams]]
[[Category:Comets]]

This will make the diagram show up in the categories: Astronomy diagrams, Comets.

For further information on categories read Commons:Categories.

The CommonSense Tool often helps you find the best category for your image.

Here is a gallery of your images. Please check that each image has a category. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the help desk. Thank you.
