Hello - thank you for providing images to the wikimedia commons. Please keep in mind that images uploaded to the commons should be useful to all users of wikimedia projects - this is possible only if the images can be found by other people. To allow others to find the images you uploaded here, the images should be in some place that can be found by navigating the category structure. This means that you should either place the images on topic pages (galleries) or put the images directly into a category, or do both. To find good categories for your images, the CommonsSense tool may help.

The important point is that the images should be placed in the general structure somewhere. There is a large number of completely unsorted images on the commons right now. If you would like to help to place some of those images where they can be found, please do! Thank you. -- Duesentrieb(?!) 01:01, 16 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]


Hi - thanks for your reply. First of all, the images definitely blong on commons; all media under a suitable license and remotely useful to any wikimedia project is welcome.

About categorization: parts of the category structure is quite a mess; In my experience, it's easy to find some category that somehow fits, but it's quite hard for find a really good place for an image. I would generally put each image into two categories: ony by their form (i.e. sheet music) and one for the composer; in addition, you can categorize by genre/period. Some categories to consider (with links to CategoryTree, so you can browse the structure a bit):

Specifically, the following categories exist:

Try to browse the structure a bit, and try to find categories for your images with CommonsSense - what it suggests is rarely perfect, but usually helpful.

Sloppy editing[edit]

Thanks for bringing Category:Gua Xi to my attention, there are no linguistic mysteries, and no excuses, just sloppy editing on my part, it should be Guo not Gua, I think I must have got the category name wrong on the first file I edited and perpetuated it by cut and paste. The correct version Category:Guo Xi has now been created and the files moved.KTo288 (talk) 15:51, 28 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
