Goodies, tips, and tricks Put Babel boxes on your user page so others know what languages you can speak and indicate your graphic abilities. You can find the files you have uploaded in your Uploads. Please sign your name on Talk pages by typing ~~~~. To link to an image page without embedding the image, type: [[:File:Foo.jpg]], which produces: File:Foo.jpg. You may enable gadgets (custom features) for your account. There are several tools to upload files. Have you edited Wikipedia before? This guide might be useful. Made a mistake? Do you want to have a file renamed or moved? Use the move link and wait for an authorized user to rename it. Do you want to have your recently uploaded picture removed?

Tip: Categorizing images

---

Hello, Bjmullan!

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.

Speedy request File:Glasgowleadimage.JPG

Would you please provide your supporting evidence for the speedy delete request of the file File:Glasgowleadimage.JPG to help determine whether it is a copyright violation. Thanks.  — billinghurst sDrewth 07:51, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

The image is a collage using other people's work without credit. Here is the top one: Glasgow_panorama.jpg Bjmullan (talk) 17:58, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

I believe that the proper cause of action is to ask for the attributions to take place, rather than to head straight to deletion. I have put that request to the contributor, and we will see how that proceeds. To note that I have copied the above text to the talk page of the work in question.  — billinghurst sDrewth 07:58, 24 November 2010 (UTC)
