Wiki Loves Monuments

Hello and thanks for the great job you are doing with the cultural goods in Switzerland.

Just wanted to inform you that we are currently running a contest on the same topic called Wiki Loves Monuments. In Switzerland, you only need to announce your pictures on the dedicated web site (http://www.wikilovesmonuments.ch) and you will automatically participate to the contest.

Please let me know if you would need any information on this topic. Manoillon (talk) 06:34, 13 July 2011 (UTC)

Tip: Categorizing images

---

Hello, WWHenderson20!

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.
