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 (talk) 06:19, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

Hello, I would like to use your image of the Apollonian packing in a scientific paper - and if that is possible, I would like to acknowledge you for it. If this is OK, could you let me know in some way who you are? Tilia cordata (talk) 09:43, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
- That shouldn't be a problem. I'd prefer to remain anonymous, so if you just credited it something like "Time3000 on Wikimedia Commons" that would be fine. I'd appreciate a reference to the paper once it's published as well, if that's possible. Thanks, Time3000 (talk) 12:12, 16 January 2010 (UTC)
- I just got an acceptance email from Physical Review E. The title of the paper is "Estimate for the fractal dimension of the Apollonian gasket in d dimensions". I'll put it up on the Los Alamos preprint archive once I have seen the galley proofs. Thank you again for the use of the image - it looks great! I have put in the acknowledgements "Fig. 1 was supplied by the user Time3000 on the Wikimedia Commons webproject". I hope that is OK?
Noticed that amino in ACC is spelt "ammino." If you still have the reference file it would be worth updating the text.

Turtle map
[edit]I noticed you created the rather nice File:Bog turtle distribution map.svg, is it possible you could help with the Wood turtle. I started myself but am stuck because I do not know of map with America and Canada on(unlike the Bog tutle, the wood turtle ventures into Canada. In your map locater you have both countries which would be great place to start. Can you tell me where to locate locater map original? Regards, SunCreator (talk) 20:14, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

File source is not properly indicated: File:BlankMap-World.png
[edit]This media may be deleted. |
A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:BlankMap-World.png, is missing information about where it comes from or who created it, which is needed to verify its copyright status. Please edit the file description and add the missing information, or the file may be deleted.
If you created the content yourself, enter If someone else created the content, or if it is based on someone else's work, the source should be the address to the web page where you found it, the name and ISBN of the book you scanned it from, or similar. You should also name the author, provide verifiable information to show that the content is in the public domain or has been published under a free license by its author, and add an appropriate template identifying the public domain or licensing status, if you have not already done so. Warning: Wikimedia Commons takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. Please add the required information for this and other files you have uploaded before adding more files. If you need assistance, please ask at the help desk. Thank you! |

Your account will be renamed
[edit]Hello,
The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.
Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Time3000. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Time3000~commonswiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.
Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation
