Hello, Greenmars!

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.

File:Edmund Fitzgerald, 1971, 3 of 4 (restored).jpg

Hi there,

Thought you would like to know that I've uploaded a modified version of one of your images at File:Edmund Fitzgerald, 1971, 3 of 4 (restored).jpg. Nothing important has been changed about the original, just colour balance, brightness, frame, dust specks and sharpening. (The original version still exists under the original filename).

If there's anything you're not happy about, please let me know, and thanks for uploading your photos to Wikipedia! Ubcule (talk) 21:43, 29 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
