[edit]Howdy, I'm not sure on the Commons etiquette, but I was w:WP:BOLD and uploaded newer version to Image:OmarBradleyTombstone.jpg. All I did was crop off the trees and grass, but wanted to let you know. Thanks for the pic, it is definitely an improvement over the old lower resolution w:Image:Bradleyheadstone.jpg. — MrDolomite • Talk 20:22, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
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.CategorizationBot (talk) 11:45, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

Shadle, I love your image of homemade cottage cheese and was wondering if you'd grant me permission to use it in a book of poems that will be coming out in the summer of 2013. Any chance you could contact me at nshoks (at) gmail (dot) com? I would appreciate it! Thanks! Nshoks (talk) 15:58, 13 October 2012 (UTC) |
