File names

[Gordon Freeman]

And while I'm in a mood to bitch about stuff on the wiki, here's something else regarding file names.

When you are uploading files, please make sure that the file name adequately describes what the file is.

This means:

• No file names with random character sequences like 'DSJJ93949039489783djjkUFDO8#79.jpg';
• No generic file names like 'Nation_flag.png' or 'Royal_seal.gif'; and
• No file names that incorrectly describe the file, like 'Flag_of_France.png' for a photo of a moon bear riding a bicycle.
  

While I'm on the subject of files, yet another general reminder to not upload copyrighted files without the explicit permission of its copyright holder (and remember that a file having no explicit copyright information is copyrighted by default). If you are unsure about file copyrights, see: http://microwiki.org.uk/forum/showthread.php?tid=2347

Thank you for your co-operation.

You actually need to post about this?!

Yes, yes I do

The last one, *shudder*, each string of numbers, my iPad thinks is a phone number!

[Craitman]

All but the last one are perfectly fine file names if you ask me. They're clearly the obverse sides of different notes or coins of a particular currency which uses "K" as its symbol

The last one is completely ridiculous though, and looks to have been copied straight from Facebook maybe?

At first I thought they were crap, but after reading your post, that explains it. Agreed with Craitman.

Ok well now that I actually looked at them, you're right I just went into Recent Changes and copypasted anything that looked like it fit. However, they were just examples that happened to be there. There are many more examples of all three points if you want to go back into the upload log.

lol. First time saw good decision... Well done!

[Gordon Freeman]

They're not decisions - they're reminders.
