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 06:05, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

drawed maps
[edit]Hi Maxi, I saw your picture of doggerland. Now i hope, you can say me, whether i can upload the animated GIF-file, i drawed. It's based on 3 maps from the years 1780, 1908 and 2000 and i just drawed the rivers on a white background. Do i need a permission for copying by drawing? Or do i not need to give any references, because i drawed it by myself? Sorry for my bad english - Greets --Wolf170278 (talk) 14:36, 17 March 2011 (UTC)

Maps of municipalities of Iceland
[edit]Hello!
I have noticed that you created vector maps of municipalities of Iceland recently, great job. Do you plan on doing the rest? I checked the source code and you did all the hard work already, now it's only the tedious part of changing one municipality's colour, renaming the file and uploading it 60 times over. I can help you with that, if you want!--TFerenczy (talk) 17:25, 9 June 2019 (UTC)
- Hi! I do at some point, I just haven't had much time to do so lately. But I would gladly appreciate a hand :) Maxí (talk) 17:33, 24 June 2019 (UTC)
