Tip: Categorizing images

---

Hello, JGS25!

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.

Sugestions

Bonjour JGS25, merci encore pour vos photos, très esthétiques et très utiles à Commons et à Wikipédia.

Si vous aimez les cours d'eau, la nature et le patrimoine je ne peut que vous conseiller de passer par chez nous, dans les Vosges saônoises, en particulier dans la vallée du Rahin et le massif du Chérimont.

Quelques sites en vrac :

• Patrimoine lié au canal de la Haute-Saône :
  • Bassin de Champagney
  • Tunnel du Chérimont
  • Tunnel de la Forêt
  • Écluse du Beuveroux
  • Pont-canal de Frahier
  • Pont canal sur la Savoureuse

• Patrimoine religieux
  • Chapelle Notre-Dame-du-Haut à Ronchamp (par contre, il faudra garder les photos pour vous car Commons n’accepte pas les images de bâtiments sous droit d'auteurs)
  • Église Notre-Dame-du-Bas de Ronchamp
  • Église Saint-Laurent de Champagney
  • Temple luthérien de Clairegoutte (petit village très pittoresque)
  • Chapelle Saint-Antoine de Plancher-les-Mines

• Patrimoine minier
  • Mines métaliques de Plancher-les-Mines
  • Puits Sainte-Marie seul chevalement de Franche-Comté
  • Puits Arthur-de-Buyer ruines très impressionnantes, à voir avant les feuilles des arbres ne repoussent.
  • Ancienne cokerie de Ronchamp, entourée de deux imposants terrils
  • Puits de l'Étançon et sentier des affleurements
  • Château de la Houillère

• Musées :
  • Musée de la mine Marcel-Maulini
  • Maison de la Négritude et des Droits de l'Homme

Et bien sûr il y a beaucoup d'autres choses à voir dans ces villages et ailleurs plus au Nord, je pense à Luxeuil, Fougerolles, Château-Lambert, Servance, Ternuay...

Je suis sur que votre œil appréciera de s'y exercer.

Bonne continuation, A.BourgeoisP (talk) 15:05, 4 April 2018 (UTC)

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading File:Plan du château Sainte-Anne.jpg. I notice that the file page either doesn't contain enough information about the license or it contains contradictory information about the license, so the copyright status is unclear. If you created this file yourself, then you must provide a valid copyright tag. For example, you can tag it with {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} to release it under the multi-license GFDL plus Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike All-version license or you can tag it with {{self|cc-zero}} to release it into the public domain. (See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of license tags that you can use.) If you did not create the file yourself or if it is a derivative of another work that is possibly subject to copyright protection, then you must specify where you found it (e.g. usually a link to the web page where you got it), you must provide proof that it has a license that is acceptable for Commons (e.g. usually a link to the terms of use for content from that page), and you must add an appropriate license tag. If you did not create the file yourself and the specific source and license information is not available on the web, you must obtain permission through the VRT system and follow the procedure described there. Note that any unsourced or improperly licensed files will be deleted one week after they have been marked as lacking proper information, as described in criteria for deletion. If you have uploaded other files, please confirm that you have provided the proper information for those files, too.

Val Consolation

Bonjour,

Avant tout félicitations pour vos photos magnifiques !!

Je suis moi même future intervenante au Val de Consolation à partir de cet été si les évènements le permettent comme cela est prévu.

Hors le visuel officiel qui doit nous être fourni par France Active, qui gère le projet de réhabilitation du site, ne peut nous être fourni dans les délais prévus...

Aussi j'ai cherché sur internet des photos pour commencer à communiquer sur mon site internet à propos des journée ressources que je propose de Juin à Septembre sur le site de Val de Consolation et je trouve les vôtre sublimes !!

Même si le principe de Wikimédia Commons est de publier des supports réutilisables je suis respectueuse du travail des photographes, aussi je préfère poser la question :

Me permettez vous de les utiliser ? (Celle de l'entrée du monastère avec l'arc et soit celle de la cascade soit celle du pont de pierre)

Quoi qu'il en soit je peux aussi vous mettre en relation avec la personne qui gère le projet, peut-être que vos photos pourraient les intéresser aussi ?? Cela pourrait offrir une voie d'ouverture car je sais qu'ils devaient recourir à photographe professionnel alors pourquoi ne pas tenter de faire connaître votre travail auprès d'eux ... ?

Je vous souhaite une excellente fin de semaine Avec Coeur Corinne

I also want to highlight what an incredible turnout we had. In the second round, we saw a massive jump in both the number of users voting and the total votes cast. We had exactly 13,979 votes cast by 3,509 users! To put that in perspective, last year we had 7,403 votes from 2,837 users. It is amazing to see that level of growth and community engagement.

Thank you to everyone who voted, helped organize, and generally made the contest such a huge success this year!
