Hello, Harrias!
 
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.

Re: Personality rights warning

Hi, I think you have misunderstood the intent of that warning. There is nothing wrong with the hosting of File:Max waller.jpg on this server. I have explained more clearly the purpose of that warning at File talk:Max waller.jpg#Response to personality rights warning. Jappalang (talk) 08:57, 27 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

Please see: Commons:Image guidelines, and "distortions" row in a table on this page. You can correct it using Gimp, Photoshop, or hugin. --sfu (talk) 16:36, 14 November 2010 (UTC)Reply

And you need to correct locations. Now it's showing some place in Belgium, because of taking no sign insteed of "-" in localization template. --sfu (talk) 16:42, 14 November 2010 (UTC)Reply

Sorry but is the tower really tilted so much? I's shure it's just straight. In your picture it doesn't look natural. I agree this is was camera gives, but it's not close to what human's eye see. I will not do the correction because in my opinion there is another problem: the lighing isn't good enough. I don't quite understand why correcting perspective is "changing things to the impossible". It's just normal thing most photgraphers do, and was doing even before computers (which was much harder to do I suppose). You can see old paintings in my page - all with straight walls. Personaly I think cinema&tv spoiled ower look and now tilted walls looks normal to people. --sfu (talk) 22:10, 14 November 2010 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for indicating your interest in this.

Image formats

edit

Hi, thank you for uploading some images to Commons. Here's a tip: Use the right image format for the kind of image. As a general rule, this is JPEG for photographs, and PNG for most other kinds of images. Using the wrong format can bloat the file size and/or degrade the quality of the image. Most modern graphics applications will give you the choice between these formats among others. See also Commons:File types#Images. Good luck. Smjg (talk) 08:09, 2 June 2021 (UTC)Reply

Hey, you created the file File:First Punic War 237 BC en.svg two years ago. I don't know if you noticed, but the labels for Sardinia and Corsica are below the map and thus obscured. Do you think you can fix it? Cléééston (talk) 04:00, 6 December 2022 (UTC)Reply
