Hello, JC Allin!

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.

Done--YSpirine (talk) 17:54, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Merci !

En tant que modeste bénévole de Wikipédia, je vous remercie d'avoir importé les photos que vous possédiez . Je les ai classées dans la Category:Monuments_historiques_in_Maine-et-Loire, si vous voulez les retrouver. N'hésitez pas à me contacter si vous avez une question ! --YSpirine (talk) 17:54, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Tonnay-Charente

Bonjour, j'ai retiré votre photo de l'église de Tonnay-Charente du concours WLM, en effet ce bâtiment n'est pas classé. Seul le pont est classé à Tonnay-Charente. Merci pour votre participation sur toutes les autres photos ! Symac (talk) 17:47, 1 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Saintines église

Bonjour JC, en supposant que tu sois français, je vais essayer d'écrire en français - j'ai une question de la photo de l'Eglise de Saintines. La date de la photo est 1954, donc je me demande si tu as pris la photo toi-même ou si tu l'as trouvée ailleurs. En plus je remarque que toutes les autres photos que tu as versé ont le même air, comme si elles sont très âgées, ou peut-être comme si tu as utilisé un filtre. Sans doute c'est pas un problème, mais c'est un peu insolite, et peut-être tu voudrais donner plus d'information. (Et désolé pour mon français!) Adam Bishop (talk) 08:36, 9 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

File:91-Lardy-quartier-St-Denis.jpg

Bonjour, sauf erreur de ma part cette photo ne représente pas un MH, je l'ai retirée du concours en conséquence (n'hésitez pas à me le dire si je me suis trompé). Symac (talk) 20:27, 11 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hôtel Sully - Nérac

Bonjour ! Je m'aperçois, en checkant une de vos nombreuses photos de WikiLoves Monuments, qu'il s'agit d'une copie (ou de l’original) de cette photo-ci. Je suppose que vous en êtes également l'auteur (si je me réfère au nom près du copyright). La photo est donc déjà sous copyright, et vous ne pouvez la faire publier sous deux régimes de droit d'auteur différents. J'espère que c'est clair ; à vous de choisir. Mais ce serait agréable que vous m'indiquiez quelles autres photos importées par vous seraient dans le même cas. Cordialement,--Sammyday (talk) 01:53, 9 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
