National Geographic Magazine images
[edit]Thank you for uploading images on Commons. I personally like images of Russian WWI people.
Please add your images to other appropriative pages and/or categories where other users could easily find them. For example: Category:People of Russia, Category:World War I.

- Thank you for your comments. I'm sure you will find more like this in future uploads. However because of the number of uploads and the amount of time it would take to try to accurately categorize them all, I prefer to leave such matters to people who are more interested in categorizing. I prefer to devote my time to content creation instead. —Mike 03:55, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Hi, you claim that this map was published before 1923. It doesn't look that old so which license is correct? Thuresson 10:06.
- Actually I don't make any such claim. If you read the notice a little closer: In most cases, this means that it was first published in the United States prior to January 1, 1923. This is one of those other cases where it was not published prior to January 1, 1923. —Mike 07:24, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
Copyvio maps
[edit]Hi Moverton. You've uploaded a bunch of maps taken from [1], and tagged them {{PD-US}}. I don't see any reason to think these maps are public domain. The source page says "Copyright © 2005 Kansas Department of Transportation". Unless there's something I'm missing, all these maps will have to be deleted. User:dbenbenn 03:30, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
- I've listed them for deletion at Commons:Deletion requests#Maps in Category:Maps of counties in Kansas. User:dbenbenn 03:35, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
Hello!
Thank you for providing images to the Wikimedia Commons. Please keep in mind that images uploaded to the Commons should be useful to all users of Wikimedia projects. This is possible only if the images can be found by other people.
To allow others to find the images you uploaded here, the images should be in some place that can be found by navigating the category structure. This means that you should put the images into appropriate topic pages, categories, optionally galleries, or both of them (see Commons:Categories). To find good categories for your images, the CommonSense tool may help.
You can find a convenient overview of your uploaded files in this gallery.
The important point is that the images should be placed in the general structure somewhere. There are a large number of completely unsorted images on the Commons right now. If you would like to help to place some of those images where they can be found, please do!
Thank you. 78.48.230.57 06:28, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
Wikisource email notifications
[edit]Hi, after a proposal to enable email notification, Wikisource can now notify you of any changes to pages on your watchlist and/or changes to your talk page. In order to take advantage of these features, you need to enabled them in your Wikisource preferences. --John Vandenberg (chat) 09:05, 18 April 2008 (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 20:54, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

Map of Wyandotte Co, Ks, USA.png is MISSING
[edit]Thanks for creating all the county maps of Kansas. Today, while editing county articles, I noticed that "Map of Wyandotte Co, Ks, USA.png" doesn't exist. Please add it. Thanks! Sbmeirow (talk) 13:01, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
