Tip: Categorizing images
[edit]
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.BotMultichillT 05:47, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

Permissions
[edit]Apologies for my poor German, so I am writing first in English. For File:Element system page.gif and File:Bohnacker luftbild werk d.jpg, you say "Nur für die Wikimedia Foundation". This restriction is not valid on Commons (see Commons:Lizenzen), and conflicts with the licenses you granted. Do you intend to "free-license" the images, or should they be deleted?
Für File:Element system page.gif und File:Bohnacker luftbild werk d.jpg, sagen Sie "Nur für die Wikimedia Foundation". Diese Einschränkung stimmt nicht auf Commons (siehe Commons:Lizenzen), und widerspricht den Lizenzen gewährt werden sollte. Meinsten Sie die Freilizenzen, oder sollten die Bilder gelöscht werden? - Jmabel ! talk 21:48, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
