Tip: Categorizing images
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.CategorizationBot (talk) 14:09, 8 August 2011 (UTC)

Huh??
[1]: This building is nowhere near Colfax, Washington, and nothing in the description I wrote suggests that it is in Colfax, so why the category? - Jmabel ! talk 15:46, 8 September 2011 (UTC)
- Sorry for the incorrect category. It was my mistake. Thank you for fixing. — Steven Pavlov (talk) 17:55, 8 September 2011 (UTC)

Though the collection of images for the contest has been completed (as we informed you previously), the organizers of the contest "Wikipedia loves Petersburg" are glad to update you on the current course of events.
Our jury is working hard; on November, 1 it will declare the winners and the recipients of special prizes. We ask those of you who have not yet set up an e-mail address to do it at user preferences page so that the jury could contact the participants of the contest and to hand out the awards. The winners of the European-wide Wiki Loves Monuments competition will be announced later, in mid-November.
Already on November 2 in St. Petersburg, the Art-hotel "Rachmaninov", located on 5, Kazanskaya St., will open an exhibition of works by the participants of the contest. We inform you about the opening time via the website http://wikilovesmonuments.ru/
If you have any questions or need help with Wikimedia Commons, you can contact user kaganer. You can ask any questions about the contest by sending an e-mail to infowikimedia.ru
Thank you again for your participation!.

"Wikipedia loves Petersburg" contest results are summed up
On November, 1 the winners of the contest "Wiki Loves Monuments" were announced.
It was difficult to select the winners. More than 450 users participated in the contest, having uploaded more than 4400 photographs. The Organizing Committee thanks everybody who took part, tried their hands, and agreed to make their work available to the whole world. There is fascinating work ahead of Wikipedia users: To employ the images to illustrate the articles in Wikipedia, the free encyclopaedia which is available in 270 languages.
Do not get upset if you have not won. Look into Wikipedia articles - you may soon find your work there, to help people to visualise the buildings you have taken photographs of. Besides, we will contact you to hand you in a souvenir to recognize your particiation. We hope you will accept this sign of our gratitude.
If you have a chance, you can visit the exhibition of photographs, which has been organized in Saint Petersburg and shows some of the photographs submitted to the contest.
We hope you will participate in the future competitions planned by Wikimedia RU and thank you for your contribution.
You can ask any questions about the contest by sending an e-mail to infowikimedia.ru.
Sincerely,
In the name of the Organizing Committee,
Lvova Anastasia.

Category:Mount Rainier National Park
Hi Steven Pavlov;
Thanks for your efforts to improve Category:Mount Rainier National Park. Today, you removed that category from File:Nisqually River 0534.JPG.[2]
I see that Category:Nisqually River is a subcategory of Category:Mount Rainier National Park, but does that make sense? Only a small portion of the Nisqually River is contained within the park. I would place it in Category:Pierce County, Washington, Category:Lewis County, Washington and Category:Thurston County, Washington. I've added those categories. I didn't find helpful guidance at Commons:Categories. But, I see that en:Nisqually River is not placed in Category:Mount Rainier National Park but is placed in county subcategories. I would remove Category:Mount Rainier National Park, but what is your opinion?
The cited picture depicts one of the major river valleys, forest, and a bridge on the main road in the park. Consequently, it seems to me that it should be in Category:Mount Rainier National Park. Thoughts? Best wishes, --Walter Siegmund (talk) 04:30, 15 November 2011 (UTC)
- Thank you for the informative comment. My goal was to do 'Category: Mount Rainier National Park' more orderly. After thinking about your comment, I realized that your suggestions are most relevant. Namely: Remove 'Category: Mount Rainier National Park' from 'Category: Nisqually River' and also back 'Category: Mount Rainier National Park' to your photos.
Thanks again and sorry for the inconvenience. Steven Pavlov (talk) 05:21, 15 November 2011 (UTC)
- Hi Steven Pavlov;
- Thank you for your kind consideration of my comments. In the meantime, I noticed that Category:Paradise River is entirely within Mount Rainier National Park and it is in Category:Mount Rainier National Park. That is correct, I think. I removed Category:Mount Rainier National Park from my pictures of that river. Best wishes, --Walter Siegmund (talk) 21:41, 15 November 2011 (UTC)
