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) 16:10, 23 September 2011 (UTC)

Please do not overwrite files

- Ditto for File:Steeple Ashton.jpg. While uploading photos is great, you should upload new photos under new names. There are several reasons for this, the big one of which is copyright, people are being credited for images they didn't take, or aren't being credited for ones they did. Also, at Commons we do not editorialise other projects - that means we don't arbitrarily decide "image X is better than image Y and so we should replace image Y". Uploading over a photo is essentially doing just that. -mattbuck (Talk) 22:52, 6 October 2011 (UTC)

editIt seems quite possible that these are not motivated by the best intentions given your dispute with the user concerned. I would advise you to refrain from such actions for your own sake.

File:Israeli-Palestinian Railways.svg
editThanks for the updates to the Israel Railway map!
With respect to the Ayalon bypass, note that shifted routes are marked in the map as thin gray lines (you have it as a thick gray line).
Also, could you please add currently under construction Mazkeret Batya railway station in red?
Request
editHello.
Can you do the exact updates in File:Israeli-Palestinian Railways (Full).svg, like you did in File:Israeli-Palestinian Railways.svg?
These two maps are supplementary maps of each other, and when one of these maps is updated, the other map needs to be updated too.
Thank you.

- Hello. Can you do the same updates in File:Israeli-Palestinian Railways (Full).svg, because it is lagging behind with the necessary updates? This map is the larger version of the updated File:Israeli-Palestinian Railways.svg and are supplementary maps of each other. They are exactly the same; that is why each version needs to be updated simultaneously. Thank you. Maphobbyist (talk) 09:41, 13 November 2018 (UTC)
