Tip: Categorizing images

---

Hello, Postcrosser!

Tip: Add categories to your files

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.

Licenza immagini

Ciao, scusami, ma non son sicuro di saperti aiutare. In teoria, poiché la licenza è sbagliata e non è colui che ha caricato l'immagine a poterla cambiare, dovrebbe poter essere corretta da chiunque altro. Puoi però domandare al Bar in italiano per maggior sicurezza. --Harlock81 (talk) 20:25, 12 November 2013 (UTC)

Wiki Loves Monuments ti aspetta, con centinaia di nuovi comuni fotografabili

Concorso Wiki Loves Monuments Italia 2018 (English version)

Gentile Postcrosser, ti ringraziamo ancora una volta per la tua passata partecipazione a Wiki Loves Monuments (WLM). Il più grande concorso fotografico del mondo si svolge anche questo settembre per documentare e promuovere il patrimonio culturale italiano, con una licenza copyright libera.

Quest'anno è doppiamente facile partecipare: gli oggetti fotografabili coprono quasi 1000 comuni in più, grazie all'adesione di centinaia di nuovi enti fra cui Roma, e alla possibilità di fotografare circa 2000 alberi monumentali. Controlla le liste di monumenti fotografabili! Carica tutte le foto che hai e magari organizza una visita presso i monumenti che ancora non hanno una foto.

Quest'oggi il Parlamento europeo ha respinto la proposta di estendere la libertà di panorama. E allora scattiamo e pubblichiamo tutte le foto che possiamo, almeno per questi monumenti per cui ci è legalmente consentito!

Grazie, Nemo 16:09, 12 September 2018 (UTC)

Wiki Loves Pesto Genovese 2024 è iniziato: partecipa anche tu!

Buongiorno Postcrosser ricevi questo messaggio perché in passato hai partecipato a concorsi fotografici come Wiki Loves Monuments Italia o Wiki Loves Earth Italia.

Questo marzo, in concomitanza con il Campionato Mondiale del Pesto, è stato organizzato Wiki Loves Pesto Genovese, un concorso fotografico per valorizzare e documentare il pesto alla genovese e il suo utilizzo.

Dal 1 al 31 marzo puoi caricare tue fotografie che raffigurino il pesto genovese, ma anche i suoi ingredienti, la sua preparazione e ricette cucinate con tale condimento. Sono ammesse anche foto scattate prima del concorso, purché siano inedite. Non sono ammesse fotografie con watermark e cornici, né foto che ritraggano marchi commerciali. I tre scatti migliori saranno premiati con un cesto di prodotti gastronomici.

I fotografi che lo desiderano potranno inoltre richiedere uno dei 10 pass per accedere al salone dove si svolgerà la finale del Campionato Mondiale del Pesto, in programma a Genova il 23 marzo, una ulteriore occasione per scattare foto valide per il concorso.

Vai sul sito https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Campaign:Wiki_Loves_Pesto_Genovese_2024 per trovare i dettagli del concorso e consultare il regolamento completo.

In bocca al lupo e buon divertimento!--Ysogo (talk) 11:50, 1 March 2024 (UTC) (Questo messaggio è stato inviato tramite il sistema Global message delivery)
