Help a newbie?
[edit]Hi. I noticed that Image:Kalimpongtown.jpg needed cleanup. I made a new version using the hi res version, then I clicked on "Upload a new version of this file" The new version is Image:Kalimpongtown2.jpg. I was just wondering, should I have saved over the first Kalimpongtown image, or did I do the right thing by giving the new version another name? Thanks for your help.--Shanel 22:45, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
- Welcome to the Commons, Shanel! Please save over the original picture when you have an improved version. But note that your new version is still scaled down. The purpose of the cleanup tag is that the cropped version should be higher resolution. dbenbenn | talk 14:21, 27 September 2005 (UTC)

I notice you improved Image:448px-Strassburg um 1900.jpg. Perhaps you could redo your improvements, starting with the much higher resolution Image:Strassburg um 1900.jpg? (Actually, you might want to start with the original 00018u.tif, since JPG is a lossy conversion). Thanks, dbenbenn | talk 05:10, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:Pan player.jpg
[edit]
Thanks for uploading Image:Pan player.jpg. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikimedia Commons (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page. If the content is a derivative of a copyrighted work, you need to supply the names and a licence of the original authors as well.
If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag, then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{self|cc-by-sa-3.0}} to release it under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license or {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find all your uploads using the Gallery tool. Thank you. --Filnik 22:48, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
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 06:16, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
