Hello, Munford!
Tip: Add categories to your files
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.

Refering to this file, I doubt these are en:Diaolou, but more probably en:Himalayan Towers, see for instance here : http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/summary/303/5666/1972a There is also an article in "Grands Reportages", with photos similar to your. --Rédacteur Tibet (talk) 16:22, 20 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

en:Diaolou wasn't correctly named. It should be called Kaiping diaolou(I've just made this change). It's only local to that region of Kaiping in Guangdong, southern China. This style of Diaolou I took picture of is located in Sichuan province, southwest China. It's mainly built by Qiang ethnics. In addition, I'm not sure about the English name "Himalaya tower" is correct as well. I don't think this region can be called Himalayas. It's Qionglai Mountain range or Hengduan Mountains. I guess by calling it Himalaya tower gives it some mystic appeal. -Munford (talk) 15:01, 21 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your response. As for the name of "Himalayan Towers", I agree it is misleading. --Rédacteur Tibet (talk) 16:22, 21 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
