Tip: Categorizing images

---

Hello, Lpdrew!

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"). Pro-tip: The CommonSense tool can help you find the best category for your image.

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.

Your Flickr uploads

Hello Lpdrew!

Thanks a lot for your contributions! Thank you for transferring images from Flickr to Commons! Two hints ahead:

• Always upload the highest resolution of a photograph that is available on flickr
• You can use this tool for your flickr uploads. It makes the hole procedure much easier and faster for you! And it does not forget to add the {{flickrreview}}-tag
  

Thank you for your support! Greetings, High Contrast (talk) 17:45, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

You must insert the {{flickrreview}}-tag to your uploads from flickr. --High Contrast (talk) 18

There seems to be a problem regarding the description and/or licensing of this particular file. It has been found that you've added in the image's description only a Template that's not a license and although it provides useful information about the image, it's not a valid license. Could you please resolve this problem, adding the license in the image linked above? You can edit the description page and change the text. Uploading a new version of the file does not change the description of the file. This page may give you more hints on which license to choose. Thank you.
