License tagging for Image:Bill Robinson (author).jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Bill Robinson (author).jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

I created an article Bill Robinson (author) and someone came by and placed some categories on it. When I look at the category pages the article is listed by first name (i.e. under "B") rather than under "R". I have since moved the article to a number of subcategories but the issue remains.

Try:

[[Category:American sailors|Robinson, Bill]] [[Category:American non-fiction writers|Robinson, Bill]] [[Category:American print editors|Robinson, Bill]] [[Category:American journalists|Robinson, Bill]] [[Category:American fiction writers|Robinson, Bill]]

The pipe character | allows you to sort categorised pages by surname or first name. The default will be the first letter of the opening word of the article's title. Regards, (aeropagitica) 23:02, 11 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Organising by B in this case is the default action, B is simply the first letter of the title. If you want to organise by a letter of your choice, use piped links, like so:

[[Category:American non-fiction writers|Robinson, Bill]]

I just fixed the cats for you, Hyachts. It should pipe by surname now. --Hemlock Martinis 23:08, 11 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
