Goodies, tips and tricks
  • Put Babel boxes on your user page so others know what languages you can speak and indicate your graphic abilities.
  • All your uploads are stored in your personal gallery
  • Please sign your name on Talk pages by typing ~~~~
  • Use the CommonSense tool to find good categories for your files (then other people can find them too!)
  • To link to an image page without embedding the image, type: [[:Image:Foo.jpg]], which produces: Image:Foo.jpg
  • If you're copying files from another project, be sure to use the CommonsHelper
Made a mistake?
  • Did you want to rename or move a file? Simply upload the file again and mark the old one like this: {{bad name|correct name}}

Battle of Flamborough Head image

Hi, thanks for the new Battle of Flamborough Head image- one of these days I'll get round to trying vector graphics, honest. I see just one serious problem with the new image- misspelling of Spurn Head- and one minor niggle- the new version needs to be displayed larger than normal Wikipedia size (say about 400px across) for the place-names to be legible. Turning the image to put east at the top was a good idea though; helps a lot with the place-names. Cheers, David Trochos (talk) 23:18, 8 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

An even cheekier PPS: I downloaded Inkscape had had a go at it myself. The result is presently in Wikipedia images, not Commons. David Trochos (talk) 14:47, 9 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

Your translated maps of the island of Saint-Martin

Good afternoon.
I saw you translated two of my maps of the island of Saint-Martin (File:Saint-Martin_map_detailed-en.svg and File:Saint-Martin_map_simple_en.svg) and I'm glad of that.
Unfortunately, to create my two maps I've drawn few years ago I used old paper maps of the French Institut Géographique National which are still under copyright, so this means that our four maps represent derivative works without permission. Because of this I will ask their deletion in a few days and give you this notification in order for you to have the time to save a copy of your maps in your computer, if you want.
I'm preparing completely new versions of them, using this time free data and of better quality. They will be shortly available on Commons and I will notify it to you when they are.
Sorry for the mess. Greetings. Sting (talk) 18:11, 16 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

In what form do you want credit for use of your image

Thank you so much for this excellent image: File:Standard_Model_of_Elementary_Particles.svg. I am creating a derivative copy to use on a science display in Second Life. Should I credit you as "MissMJ" or by some other name? I will include the page URL so that others can find the original here at http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Standard_Model_of_Elementary_Particles.svg Questionic (talk) 13:26, 3 September 2010 (UTC)Reply

Problem with: Standard_Model_of_Elementary_Particles-de.svg

Hi there, first of all I want to thank you for the great work with File:Standard_Model_of_Elementary_Particles-de.svg

I have one problem with the file: In the Heading it says "3 Generations of matter (Fermions)", but in the table you name Leptons, Quarks and Bosons. Bosons are not Fermions, so the Headline could be misleading. Maybe you could place the word Fermions as a headline to both Quarks ans Leptons.

Hello, MissMJ!
 
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.

Your String Theory Diagram

Hi MissMJ,

I am an embroidery artist and I am half way though an embroidered re-working of your String Theory Diagram. I am thinking of exhibiting this work, and wanted to credit you. I would be happy to send you pics of what I am doing, but wondered how you would like to be credited? I could use your wikipedia name if you like?

Let me know, and thanks for your diagram, it was exactly what I was looking for.

Wikipedia name is fine! And, if possible, you can put the link to my user page as well: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:MissMJ I'd love to see pictures/info about the exhibition(s)! ^_^ -MissMJ (talk) 19:34, 24 August 2011 (UTC)Reply

Medieval Coats of Arms

Greetings! I would like to ask for your help in creating a vector image of the coat of arms of [[1]].

You may find a scanned image here: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/hu/5/55/Dukagjin.png (I apologize for the low resolution). The actual background is supposed to be dark green of the kind you would see on the [Arabia|Saudi] flag.

Here's a colored image, but you should be advised of the wrong background color: http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn267/luangjakova/StemaeLekDukagjinit.jpg.

Another flag/emblem you may consider is that of the [of Albania (1190)]: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/sq/b/b7/Flag_of_the_Principality_of_Arber.JPG.

Thank you. --Getoar TX (talk) 04:33, 20 January 2012 (UTC)Reply
