One of the courses I liked the most was thesaurus construction and its application. So I like creating order from chaos. Because so many pictures need categories and so many categories can use an update, Wikimedia Commons feels like a Walhalla to me.

[Dutch] De hier opgedane kennis heb ik vastgelegd in het Wikiboek Handboek Wikimedia Commons, voor nieuwelingen en editors. Aanvullingen en correcties zijn welkom!

Here I place some of the gems I discover.
