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.CategorizationBot (talk) 10:50, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

Madagascar: Correcting the map of countries with English as an official language[edit]
Hello Maphobbyist,
Thanks for your good work with South Africa on that map, but the way more obvious fault still lies with Madagascar which MUST be grey, anything else is absolutely wrong (or, if you will, even one-sided). 87.182.212.22 16:01, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
Hey, it's me again; thank you and you're welcome. But I'm just a little confused that it seems you accidentally (?) "switched" Ethiopia into an anglophone country at the same time while working on the map? Greetings 87.182.212.22 19:07, 4 March 2011 (UTC)

First, thank you for this excellent map. Second, please see on wikipedia File_talk:Original_distribution_of_wolf_subspecies-en.png, where we ask that it be updated to show Canis lupus rufus to refect the latest MSW3 designation of it as a Subspecies of Canis lupus instead of Canis rufus as it used to be, which is the designation we're using in the articles in which this map is used. Third, could we have a simpler version of this map with only one color called "Original Distribution of non-domesticated Canis lupus" or some such? Actually I think "historical range" is more customary than "historical". This is needed as soon as possible. To incorporate C.l. rufus all you have to do is assign a color to the blank space including Florida. Even if your answer is "no", thanks again for this excellent map and keep up the good work! 67.246.33.203 06:35, 23 June 2012 (UTC) aka "Chrisrus" on Wikipedia.

Countries that recognize Christmas as a Public Holiday.png[edit]
Hello! Thank you very much for the creative map (Countries that recognize Christmas as a Public Holiday.png)! Some refinement:
- 1. Denmark - 3 day.
- 2. Crimea - is part of the Russian Federation - 1 day
- 3. Donetsk People's Republic - non official - [1] [2] [3]
- 4. Luhansk People's Republic - 1 day - [4] [5]
- 5. Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic - 1 day - [6]
- 6. Kosovo - 3 day - [7]
A small question, in some countries there is "New year vacations (новогодние каникулы)" in the Russian Federation in 2005-2011 -5 day, now 10 day (in 2017/2018 - 30 dec. - 8 jan. [8]). Does it make sense to specify them, because they have already become traditional? New year vacations - Russian Federation, Donetsk People's Republic, South Ossetia [9] [10]

Mediterranean biome map[edit]
Hi Maphobbyist, is there any way you can alter or modify the Mediterranean forests, woodlands, and scrub biome map (this one) where you'd include a portion of southeast Australia too, such as Sydney, Newcastle, Canberra and Wollongong (excluding the Blue Mountains) within the biome as they feature sclerophyl forests as seen in Adelaide, Perth and other "Mediterranean climate" cities. The vegetation of Sydney is definitely not temperate forest (as seen here) - Sydney is usually absurdly lumped with the UK, Europe, Tasmania, eastern US and NZ - Which is really fallacious, as Sydney is more drier and hotter with vegetation that actually resemble those in the Med region rather than those in the cool, moist regions, despite its humid subtropical climate. By the way, I don't know to change or even download SVG files. So I thought that you maybe you can do this. ~ Meganesia (talk) 10:42, 20 February 2018 (UTC)
- Hello, Meganesia. Unfortunately, I also don't know to edit and upload SVG files. I pressed to revert in that file, which is the only thing any user like me with no knowledge of SVG files can do - and which did not "correct" anything. You are absolutely correct with your detailed and accurate explanation, none of these two files and none of their edits are remotely accurate, in regard to Australia and indeed to other places like the Middle East. If they were PNG files I could have corrected them, but with SVG files I am useless. I also want to find a user who knows how to edit SVG files and correct both the Mediterranean forests, woodlands, and scrub biome map and Temperate broadleaf and mixed forests. I have not come across any accurate maps in Wikimedia Commons which correctly show the global range of the sclerophyll forests and the temperate forests, particularly in these places. Commons:Graphic Lab/Map workshop is also a solution, provided there are sources for the graphist to make use. I did put a request for obsolete and complicated (for me) PNG maps about the time zones in Europe in January: Commons:Graphic Lab/Map workshop/Archive/2018, where I provided detailed and external sources for the graphist who requested it in order to update these maps. Here is also the exchange between the graphist and me: User talk:Goran tek-en#Help in uploading.
- When I typed the words "Mediterranean, forest(s), woodland(s), scrubs or biome" in Google images, the usual maps ommitting the southeast of Australia appear, but when I typed just "sclerophyll forest map" in Google Images, immediately (to my pleasant surprise) maps of Australia showing the sclerophyll biomes appear, such as [11] and [12]. These two maps are good sources to request a change (at least) for Australia in both files. The other large inaccuracy which caught my eye are also the actually non-existent large temperate forest biomes in semi-arid central Turkey, most of semi-arid lowland Azerbaijan and in the semi-arid Zagros Mountains in Iran, which are mainly steppe biomes TR1, TR2, TR3, AZ1, AZ2, IR1 and IR2. Maphobbyist (talk) 23:37, 20 February 2018 (UTC)
- Glad to see someone else noticing those ostensible flaws in these fallacious maps. I really hope that somebody would update or correct them. Yep, I noticed the upper parts of Iraq and Iran being labeled under "temperate forests", which is really absurd considering that region is borderline semi-arid. We should really find someone correcting these misleading errors. Oh and thanks for these links. I really appreciate it. I'll try making a request at the workshop there. ~ Meganesia (talk) 08:14, 24 February 2018 (UTC)
Update[edit]
I have updated File:Uganda CIA map PL.png. In File:Trojkat Ilemi.png one would have to draw the borders of South Sudan in the small scale map and I don't know how to do it well. ---Botev (talk) 20:46, 6 March 2018 (UTC)
- Thank you very much for your edit. Never mind about the other map. I have undertaken a very big task of including South Sudan (and also Montenegro) in hundreds of PNG maps where they are required, as well as other possible missing updates in those maps. I will defer the SVG maps (which I don't know how to edit) and non-English language maps like File:Trojkat Ilemi.png to the future, once I have updated the PNG maps.

- Thank you for alerting me about the mistakes in File:D-angusticeps-range.png and thank you for the maps and links you provided.

South Sudan border in maps request[edit]
I will see what can be done at the weekend. It will be a question of finding equivalent maps that do have South Sudan and Remnant Sudan and copying and pasting, hoping they fit. It may take me some time. The SVG format is very good for that sort of thing though. I cannot do the PNGs like that, but if I come across SVG versions, you could replace the PNG files with the SVG versions.
The best app I know (or, to be frank, the only app I know, for creating and editing SVG images is a free one; Inkscape. You can get some spectacular results. It is worth downloading it and playing with what it can do. It takes time and experimentation to learn all the tricks, but it is pretty intuitive. The main challenge is not the programme itself but learning to work out what someone else has done to create an image, and I am still not a master there.
Hogweard (talk) 11:33, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
- Thank you for the reply. Please take it at your own pleasure. I will also do my part on the easier PNG maps where I can copy and paste the borders, when I also find equivalent maps and sizes, which I did on many maps about this topic. Infact, when I came across PNG dupicates of SVG maps with the border of South Sudan, I replaced many of them, and will do so when I discover them. Maphobbyist (talk) 13:19, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
