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) 10:42, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

[edit]Hi! Please don’t upload images under a noncommerial and/or no derivative license, please see Commons:Licensing for details. --Polarlys (talk) 14:26, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
Marasuchus
[edit]Hi, I see you replaced an image of a non-feathered Marasuchus with one that has feathers, but as indicated above, the replacement file can't be used on Commons. So I'll go ahead and give the old restoration feathers, was about time, heheh. FunkMonk (talk) 16:13, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
- By the way, the nostril shape of the "feathered tyrant"[1] looks a bit improbable, especially in light of this: http://www.sciencemag.org/content/293/5531/850.abstract FunkMonk (talk) 23:23, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
- Hmm, perhaps we should run it through the paleo image review on Wikipedia once I get the copyright verified. -Ferahgo the Assassin (talk) 23:25, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
New images
[edit]Hi there, not sure if you're still unable to edit Wikipedia, but I saw you just uploaded some new images. Want me to add them to Wikipedia? FunkMonk (talk) 12:45, 29 September 2013 (UTC)
- Oh, I see it is already there. But anyway, if you want more images added, just notify me! FunkMonk (talk) 12:46, 29 September 2013 (UTC)
Changyuraptor
[edit]Thanks for the Changyuraptor image. AshLin (talk) 04:44, 21 July 2014 (UTC)
Old Utahraptor
[edit]Kind of sad to see your old Utahraptor[2] rendered "outdated", would it perhaps be an idea to modify it slightly and pass it off as some other dromaeosaur genus that we don't have an image of yet? I can change the filename after that. FunkMonk (talk) 14:24, 19 December 2014 (UTC)
- You (or anyone else) are welcomed to make any anatomical edits to it that you'd like if you want to try passing it off as another dromaeosaur. -Ferahgo the Assassin (talk) 15:27, 19 December 2014 (UTC)

Wikipedia appeal
[edit]You may be interested to know that I left a comment here on Commons for Weller regarding him being involved. Not sure if any of it concerns the private evidence you sent, but they are things he should address publicly I think.--The Devil's Advocate (talk) 19:36, 16 August 2016 (UTC)
