In the file information template's "Source" field, do not use {{tl|own}} unless you made an image yourself (though not necessarily from scratch).
In this case I think it is clear that the source is the PDF file mentioned in the image.  If you draw the arrows you could mention that there as well.
Apart from that, keep it coming. :-)
I noted that the template documentation for {{tl|file information}} was not entirely clear on that, so I rephrased it slightly {{dlink|file information|75107|75695}}.

Categories vs. tags

I have noted that you sometimes add for example both Category:Airports in Italy and Category:Airports in Europe. Please don't do that. The categories are not really tags, and putting all the airports in Europe in one category would in time make it nearly impossible to find a specific airport in that category. The categories are more like tree structures. Sometimes it is ok to use more than one category, but that is when a page would fit in more than one "tree". (I think I have described the structure as multiple trees with cobwebs between branches. ;-)

Apart from that, please continue. :-)

If you have not done that before, take a moment to browse the category structure. Two helpful tools for that are either the blue arrows beside the subcategories on a category page or the category tree browser. (There are some bugs though. In addition the category structure could be improved, in particular in the FlightGear screenshot categories, but I am slowly moving files from the "FlightGear ... screenshots" to subcategories to "Screenshots of ...".)

OK, thanks for this advices, I'm a novice with the Wiki for now, learning how to use it better day by day. ;-)

In the file information template's "Source" field, do not use {{own}} unless you made an image yourself (though not necessarily from scratch).

In this case I think it is clear that the source is the PDF file mentioned in the image. If you draw the arrows you could mention that there as well.

Apart from that, keep it coming. :-)

I noted that the template documentation for {{file information}} was not entirely clear on that, so I rephrased it slightly (diff).
