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.CategorizationBot (talk) 11:01, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

Postcard scanned by Grinner ?
[edit]Hi ScArf,
You uploaded File:Albert goldthorpe all4cups.jpg stating no author, no date, no source. Only what is in the picture and that it was scanned by Grinner at the English Wikipedia. Can you atleast proof that ? A link for example ? After that, asuming Grinner did indeed scan it, more info will be neccecary. Else it will most likely be deleted after 7 days, since this is very little information –Krinkletalk 11:06, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

[edit]Hello, will you be uploading any other World Cup photos taken by Mr. Gerard Barrau https://picasaweb.google.com/103630793938578080818/? I can do that but I don't want to double your possible effort. ARvєδuι + 00:18, 24 November 2013 (UTC)
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 ScArf. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name ScArf~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
