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) 00:04, 12 October 2011 (UTC)

editHello YellowFratello,
you have uploaded some images with source "The CInema Museum" and the author "Anon". How can you make sure that this images have a free license?--Avron (talk) 10:41, 19 March 2016 (UTC)
They were done via an editathon run by Wikimedia UK and the cinema museum agreed to full CCBYSA licenses for all images. Is this missing as information? YellowFratello (talk) 17:50, 19 March 2016 (UTC)
- Yes, this should be mentioned in the "permission" field.--Avron (talk) 19:29, 19 March 2016 (UTC)
- We took a lot of images over the editathon could you tell me which ones need adjusting? What were you using them for - sounds interesting. YellowFratello (talk) 09:54, 25 March 2016 (UTC)
