Tip: Categorizing images

---

Hello, Multivariable!

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.

File:Platform in Dingxi Station of the Taipei metro.JPG

Thanks for your goodwill to adjust this file, but it's really TOO BRIGHT. As the original uploader of this photo, I think it would be better to replace your work (sorry= =") by the previous version so that it'll conform to the actual illumination in the station. Thank again.--howard61313 (talk) 11:23, December 5 2010 (UTC)

Re:Adjusting brightness in your photos 相片亮度

Hello again. Now that you mention it, you may give it a try to adjust the brightness of your screen first. If it doesn't, then go ahead as you like :)--howard61313 (talk) 12:49, December 13 2010 (UTC)

THSR

Hello here too :-) I was looking for a good image of a THSR train on a long viaduct here on Commons, but didn't find any. But I saw some station photos you made. Is there any chance that you could shoot a viaduct photo yourself? --Rontombontom (talk) 12:32, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

I can look through my photos again, but everything I took was from the stations themselves. The photos were taken on trips to Taiwan, but I haven't had the chance to go back recently. :( I'll try to get one next time, if I get the chance to travel. Would the type of photo you are looking for be similar to this shot? [1] Additionally, images can be transferred over from Flickr using the Flickr upload bot, if it's licensed that way. One candidate I found over there is: [2] :) -Multivariable (talk) 21:59, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

The photo on Flickr you link to, though it doesn't show much viaduct, is very nice, but I think it was posted on Flickr and designated CC BY-NC-ND 2.0 in violation of THSRC's copyright (which is ironically stated in the caption).

I saw that photo on Wikimedia in your first link earlier (while looking for images last September or so) but couldn't find it last week, I thought it was removed for copyright reasons... Yes, I was thinking of something like that in composition, only with better weather, cropping and tilt. I understand the photo was shot from the terrace of a place called "THSR Café" or something (with lots of photos on the web from the same spot), so it should be well accessible. I imagine other good spots with a free view on viaducts would be next to tunnel entrances, like just outside Taipei, or near THSR Hsinchu Station; or (if there are any) the accessible tops of parking houses on the edge of new developments near other stations.

I was unsure whether you reside in or just regularly travel to Taiwan, but as it's the latter, I realise travelling beyond the stations just for a photo would be difficult... so I'll look around Flickr and check out that Flickr upload bot. --Rontombontom (talk) 12:17, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
