User talk:Tomhab~commonswiki

You're unlikely to catch me here as I rarely use the commons. If you want quick contact though use my English wikipedia talk page [1] and I'll probably respond within a day. Don't forget to add where you want me to reply (ie, your talk page on the commons).

Hi Tom. I love your photo Image:Tree hadrian's wall.jpg. At Image:Tree hadrian's wall (original).JPG you wrote "Please do not reference this image". Perhaps you're unaware that images can have multiple revisions, like article pages. I recommend that you upload the original version over "Tree hadrian's wall.jpg", with an upload summary like "the original version", then either revert or upload the modified version again. That way, you'll have the picture and the improved version all in one place, and you can nominate "Tree hadrian's wall (original).JPG" for deletion. If you have any questions about that, please let me know. dbenbenn | talk 16:57, 3 September 2005 (UTC)

Tall buildings

It's an SVG file, so it is the source file. The text can be easily edited in an SVG editor (such as inkscape) or just notepad. ed g2s • talk 13:42, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Winchester cathedral flags

I have made some editing of the information page for the image Winchester cathedral flags you made. My purpose is to translate description of the pictures in Commons from English to French (or, in much rarer cases, from French to English) in order to expand their possible uses in the wikis. Apparently, you have a personnal template for picture desciption. And apparently it does not accept the {{en|}} or {{fr|}} templates that are heavilly used in Commons. Please have a look on that picture. I am sure I put back all the information, but a second check would not be too much...Berrucomons 16:35, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

Tip: Categorizing images

---

Hello, Tomhab~commonswiki!

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.

Your account will be renamed

Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Tomhab. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Tomhab~commonswiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation
