As for the photos of pens, also for the scans of advertising a specific convention has been used for the names to assign to the files putting as beginning of the name the year so that these were ordered chronologically. Therefore, an advertising scan should always be inserted with a file name in the form:

Year-Month-Brand-Model-Short-Description.jpg

where the month can be omitted if you do not know it, and the year indicated approximately (for example in the form 192x) when it is not known precisely. The model can be omitted if the advertisement is generic, if more than one appears, use the name of the most important one. Words must be separated by hyphens and the short description must be used to distinguish advertisements of the same period and stay within the 2 words, an example is 1908-Waterman-GiftSanta.jpg.

As for the photographs for each scan must be used a special wiki text to insert the information on the page of each scan, this also has also been standardized for the various types of scans to be consistent, and use a templates that allow an automatic generation of content and classifications. An example of this text is something like the following:
