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.BotMultichillT 03:08, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

Images of people where consent or personality rights may be an issue
[edit]When you upload a photo of a person which you created (and in some cases when you upload a photo of a person where you did not create the photo) please consider using either the {{Consent}} or {{Personality rights}} template.
As a precaution, I added {{consent|query}} to File:Tristan Stephenson.JPG. Please provide a more appropriate parameter. Thanks. Davidwr (talk) 19:30, 13 September 2015 (UTC)
Hello, Theroadislong, I hope you are doing well. Just dropping a note that I have speedy closed your deletion request because deletion on the grounds that "promotes deeply offensive gun use" is not in accordance with the Commons:Deletion policy. If you have any questions, I am happy to answer them. Riley Huntley (talk) 04:58, 30 April 2016 (UTC)
Terriffic Dunker Guy on Wikipedia should not be blocked
[edit]The user Terriffic Dunker Guy on Wikipedia should not be blocked. I am a good editor, follow guidelines and policies and uses good sentences and keeps up on using no errors in its sentences. I can fix some sentences where available. Where there is an article that has a very few errors, it needs to be fixed, I will fix it, or one or two different users. A request for the user not to be blocked on Wikipedia, already made my discussions and explanations on my talk page. After I return, I may get some more protection from another user for making me continuing to follow the guidelines. Also, when I am on an editing break that is about two or three weeks, sometimes one that is a vacation, I should get some more protection from another user for the same thing of following the guidelines as well as correct and proper spelling. Also I should hav put a template named Wikibreak on my user page. Thanks. Terriffic Dunker Guy (talk) 20:13, 13 July 2018 (UTC)
A request for Terriffic Dunker Guy to become an administrator on Wikipedia
[edit]I hav made a request for an application to become an administrator on Wikipedia, I may be also become administrator on Commons and Wiktionary. Article reads alongside some edits but in good English language spelling, included, some of my edits that I made at Google Maps (outside Wikimedia as well as Open Street Map) as I am a user there but recently less active than I was a few years ago. My planned application to become and administration is kept. When it is approved, notify me if I become a first level administrator on Wikipedia, but not yet for Commons and Wiktionary.
