[edit] Categories

I've had a go at fixing what I think you were trying to do with John Rae (drummer) and categories. To add someone to a category, you don't edit the category and add the name - instead, you add the category to the article. So if, for example, you want him to appear in the category of "People from Edinburgh", you add this at the end of the article: [[Category:People from Edinburgh]]. I've added him to the (new) Category:Scottish jazz drummers for you. Categories have their own little tricks that can take a bit of getting used to, but once you've worked out how they work, they should be no bother really! Have a read of Wikipedia:Categorization - it probably tells you more than you want to know, but it's a useful reference point. Or come and ask me: click on the "talk" after my name, then click the "+" tab at the top of my talk page to leave me a message. Regards, BencherliteTalk 22:41, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:John Rae 2 .jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:John Rae 2 .jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 14:31, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
