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 05:50, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Editing of SVG Maps by allan_kuan1992
editI appreciate your effort in fixing that text bug in the SVG drawings that I made for the Skytrain Vancouver page on Wikipedia. =) Allan kuan1992 (talk) 04:51, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
- No problem. Emarsee (talk) 06:29, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
- I may need your help again... I just upsized the picture with the original file so the text rendering is totally off again >.< Allan kuan1992 (talk) 00:25, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
- Done. The file size is a bit large though. Emarsee (talk) 03:00, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

Evergreen Line.svg
editHey dude/dudette, great image at "Evergreen Line.svg", nice, clear, and simple. The only problem is that that "Burquitlam" was spelled wrong (you have an extra "t" in there). Any chance you've still got the original and could fix and re-upload it? 96.48.76.137 08:18, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

Wikimedia Commons does not accept fair use content.
We do this because Commons is a shared media repository. Downstream wikis have different policies based on local laws. Uses that are acceptable under US law, for example, may not be acceptable in many other countries with more restrictive rules. In addition, fair use is not compatible with our aim as a collection of freely distributable media files. Therefore, Commons cannot legally rely on fair use provisions. Non-free content that may be used with reference to fair use may be uploaded locally if your project allows this.

File tagging File:Ls logo facebook.png
editThis media was probably deleted.
|
Thanks for uploading File:Ls logo facebook.png. This media is missing permission information. A source is given, but there is no proof that the author or copyright holder agreed to license the file under the given license. Please provide a link to an appropriate webpage with license information, or ask the author or copyright holder to send an email with copy of a written permission to VRT ([email protected]). You may still be required to go through this procedure even if you are the author yourself; please see Commons:But it's my own work! for more details. After you emailed permission, you may replace the {{No permission since}} tag with {{subst:PP}} on file description page. Alternatively, you may click on "Challenge speedy deletion" below the tag if you wish to provide an argument why evidence of permission is not necessary in this case.
Please see this page for more information on how to confirm permission, or if you would like to understand why we ask for permission when uploading work that is not your own, or work which has been previously published (regardless of whether it is your own). The file probably has been deleted. If you sent a permission, try to send it again after 14 days. Do not re-upload. When the VRT-member processes your mail, the file can be undeleted. Additionally you can request undeletion here, providing a link to the File-page on Commons where it was uploaded ([[:File:Ls logo facebook.png]] ) and the above demanded information in your request. |
Time for an update
editSince you uploaded File:Central Link.svg, now would be the time to add Capitol Hill and University of Washington. Thanks, Oiyarbepsy (talk) 02:39, 20 March 2016 (UTC)
