Hello, GrapedApe!

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"). Pro-tip: The CommonSense tool can help you find the best category for your image.

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: Hex color identification

Because the compression is so heavy on this image, I've decided to pull the colours from http://www.itsportsnet.com/leagues/7711/graphics/acha.gif, which seems to be a more exact logo.

The blue interior is:

   #100069

The red interior is

   #D63136

Also, check out http://www.nattyware.com/pixie.php, which is a fantastically small stand-alone colour-picker program. Really good for situations like this.— Huntster (t @ c) 06:13, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

Renaming of "File:CityCountyBuildingPittsburgh.JPG"

You requested for the file "File:CityCountyBuildingPittsburgh.JPG" to be renamed. However, I note that the English Wikipedia article "Pittsburg City-County Building" refers to the building by the name "Pittsburg City-County Building". Can you provide some evidence (e.g., a link to an official website) to show that the building is actually called the "County Office Building"? — Cheers, JackLee ^–talk– 07:39, 23 September 2010 (UTC)

Re: OTRS Request

Hi! There was a single ticket (#2006061810007652) from June 2006 giving permission for images from asergeev.com to be used under GFDL (and given when it was issued, these can use the "migration=relicense" parameter. Do you have any images in particular that this may apply to? And regarding the Cornell image you mentioned, the applied OTRS ticket is the correct one. I've gone ahead and cleaned it up a bit. If there's anything else I can help with, let me know. — Huntster (t @ c) 10:42, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

I fixed the syntax in the template to make migration possible. --MGA73 (talk) 06:53, 13 October 2010 (UTC)

Thanks! I was just winging it on this.-GrapedApe (talk) 16:27, 13 October 2010 (UTC)

File:Anatomy Ticket 1895.jpg

Hi again. Did you really mean to overwrite your previous upload of this file, now File:Jefferson Medical College anatomy ticket 1865.jpg?   — Jeff G. ツ 12:38, 16 March 2012 (UTC)

• Yes, I think that was a mis-upload. See File:Anatomy Ticket 1842.jpg. Thanks for checking though,--GrapedApe (talk) 03:52, 17 March 2012 (UTC)

RfD

Well, I work a lot of RfD a day, and always try to judge them with objectivity, honesty and good faith. In this process I admit there's room for errors, but frankly I see nothing copyrightable in a Justice's scales. Anyway you're free to resubmit it for deletion and I wouldn't take part in the new RfD. -- SERGIO ^{(aka the Blackcat)} 11:51, 10 April 2012 (UTC)

DvoraBochman's Art work

Being new to commons - I am not sure what you think is problematic with the works you nominated for deletion? They were not only painted/sculptured by Dvora but also modified and uploaded by her. The uploaded photographs are therefore duly licensed for use in wikipedia. Please point me to any policy stating otherwise - since she has voiced an interest in upload new versions of some of these images as well as some new pictures.

Category:Pittsburgh_Steps has been listed at Commons:Categories for discussion so that the community can discuss ways in which it should be changed. We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at its entry. If you created this category, please note that the fact that it has been proposed for discussion does not necessarily mean that we do not value your kind contribution.

If the category is up for deletion because it has been superseded, consider the notion that although the category may be deleted, your hard work (which we all greatly appreciate) lives on in the new category.
