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 05:44, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

I reduced the text size to 16. Full reply on my User talk page#Thanks.
Hello. First of all, good job on the image; its really detailed. As for the problems, look at this image and see where they are. Use ctrl+5 to see an outline of your image on Inkscape.
- The red X is a raster image and needs to be deleted in order to upload the image correctly on to Wiki.
- There are two stray lines below the main skeleton; use the node tool (F2) to click on them and erase all of those nodes.
- The image on the right (I am assuming) should be deleted.
- Finally, go to File->Document Properties (Ctrl+Shift+D) and click on "Fit page to selection".
That should fix all of your problems. Let me know if something goes wrong! Pbroks13 (talk) 19:23, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

FYI: Used your media file
editThis is a courtesy note. One of your media files is featured in a new commercial eBook in Apple’s iBooks store: http://itunes.apple.com/us/book/dr.-kemps-kids-love-bugs/id497852225?mt=11
I’ve contributed images to Wikipedia for over seven years now (including several POTD and Featured Images) and I designed the WikiSpecies logo. I respect your work here and the CC-BY-SA license we all labor under.
I know commercializing Wikipedia work is tricky and so I’ve taken great pains to follow your CC-BY-SA license requirements. I also plan to donate 10% of my proceeds to the Wikimedia Foundation directly. This is the very first self-published e-book created with Apple’s new tools and sold in the store.
I’ve given your file a credit line in the “Image and Video Credits” section starting at page 24 as required here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Text_of_Creative_Commons_Attribution-ShareAlike_3.0_Unported_License
This compilation features many of the finest Wikipedia media files in their exact form and not as derivative works. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Verbatim_copying_under_the_GFDL#Making_verbatim_copies_of_images
If I did alter your work -- such as cutting out an insect part or adding a video sound track -- I shared a Share Alike version of the new media in a DRM-free format and listed the web address in the credits section.
Thank you very much for uploading your work to Wikipedia and releasing it for the world to use in enriching educational formats.

Beetle life cycle
editHi Bugboy in the file Life cycle of stag beetle.svg there is a small misspelling, the tag 'secound' should be spelled as 'second'. Greetz, B kimmel (talk) 13:02, 16 June 2013 (UTC)
Your Blank_World_Map.svg
editHi Bugboy,
I modified your Blank_World_Map.svg by highlighting the countries/members of APC (see APC Membership section). Basically, I want to add some illustration to this article and this was one of the ideas. I tried uploading modified file to Commons as APC_World_Map2015.svg but upload failed. The modifications were done with Inkscape 0.91.
Could you please help? I can send you a file if you prefer and you can uploaded it yourself. The list of countries is on APC website.
