Tip: Categorizing images

---

Hello, Missvain!

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.

Hello Missvain, i made a new cat for Category:Terrain Gallery. There is also an image from you in it. Maybe you do know, if this building is the same as Terrain Gallery?

Banners

All the banners you have made and derivative works, appear in Category:Unsourced Flickr images reviewed by FlickreviewR and require human review. As derivative images their source should have the original URL from where they came, which is their real source, so it will save reviewers time in checking the copyright status, maybe adding the prefix "Cropped from" +Flickr file url for clarity. Then add the template {{extracted from | add the file name you derived the image from here}} on the banner page and {{extracted | add file name you are using for the derivative banner here}} to the original image. That makes it very clear what the original source is and what it was derived from. Hope that helps because it really helps us reviewers. Good luck. Ww2censor (talk) 09:49, 10 September 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for taking the advise onboard. It really help in quickly reviewing the banners. Ww2censor (talk) 16:40, 16 September 2014 (UTC)

Copyright status: File:Madame du Barry Playing the Guitar by François Hubert Drouais.jpg

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading File:Madame du Barry Playing the Guitar by François Hubert Drouais.jpg. I notice that the file page either doesn't contain enough information about the license or it contains contradictory information about the license, so the copyright status is unclear. If you created this file yourself, then you must provide a valid copyright tag. For example, you can tag it with {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} to release it under the multi-license GFDL plus Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike All-version license or you can tag it with {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. (See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of license tags that you can use.) If you did not create the file yourself or if it is a derivative of another work that is possibly subject to copyright protection, then you must specify where you found it (e.g. usually a link to the web page where you got it), you must provide proof that it has a license that is acceptable for Commons (e.g. usually a link to the terms of use for content from that page), and you must add an appropriate license tag. If you did not create the file yourself and the specific source and license information is not available on the web, you must obtain permission through the OTRS system and follow the procedure described there. Note that any unsourced or improperly licensed files will be deleted one week after they have been marked as lacking proper information, as described in criteria for speedy deletion. If you have uploaded other files, please confirm that you have provided the proper information for those files, too. If you have any questions about licenses please ask at Commons:Village pump/Copyright or see our help pages. Thank you.

No required license templates were detected at this file page. Please correct it, or if you have any questions please check my FAQ or contact me on my talk page. Yours sincerely, Jarekt (talk) 14:02, 18 November 2014 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of FOP imagery

Heya, not sure which account to use to contact you, but hopefully here is ok.

I noticed you put a photo up for speedy deletion, and it has been turned into a DR instead.

In future, could you take any FOP related imagery to DR instead of speedy, as this will enable categories to be added, such as possible undeletion date, or grouping FOP cases from one country together -- this is especially useful when countries introduce FOP, such as Russia last year and photos previously deleted were easily found.

Hope that's all good. Cheers, russavia (talk) 22:02, 8 January 2015 (UTC)

Hello miss Stierch, i would like to ask how it came that you named and used a Banner for the location Ascona that has nothing to do with that location as it is not showing anything of Ascona?

Great collection of MS magazine covers

Sarah, long time no see. That is a great collection of MS magazine covers and seems like good source of hard to get quality images. However keep in mind that {{Ms magazine cooperation}} is not a license template so the images still need {{Cc-by-sa-4.0|attribution=Ms. magazine}}. I fixed all the files currently uploaded but please add the license in case there will be more uploads. Best wishes. --Jarekt (talk) 14:45, 14 March 2016 (UTC)

Nok sculpture of a sitted person

Hello,

your edits on the various "Nok sculpture of a sitted person" files seem to remove lots of information on the object, as well as the licences of the images. Are you quite certain that this is what you intend to do? Rama (talk) 22:40, 8 March 2017 (UTC)

Hi, the object is actually public domain because it is so old. Additionally, it did not remove any information aside from the licensing. I did intend on doing this, it's part of a Wikidata and Commons clean up project to ensure that objects are connected properly to their data entries on Wikidata. Thanks for contributing to Commons! Missvain (talk) 22:42, 8 March 2017 (UTC)

Hello,

The object is indeed in the Public Domain, but the photograph is not. Removing the licences I put there as author and copyright older is actually quite problematic.

As for Wikidata, I understand and fully support the notion: the template I used imports an object description related to the Commons category for the item, which is automatically generated from Wikidata (contains a link to the WD item as well as the object dimensions, exact location, credit line, inventory number, origin etc etc.) This is something I programmed myself as a prototype and demonstrator, so I'd understand if you found it patchy and will welcome suggestions for improvements.

Any chance we could find something that addresses everybody's concerns? For instance including a Public Domain template for the depicted artwork along with the Free licences for the photograph?

Thank you for your own involvement with both Commons and Wikidata! Rama (talk) 07:44, 9 March 2017 (UTC)
