Every image uploaded goes to the central storage at Special:Images, so in order for images to be easily found when needed, they are cateogrised. For profile images such as yours, I give them the Category:Community so that they are located with all other user uploaded non-game/wiki images. It is preferable that all images are given a unique and descriptive names (making it easier for you to find), so if an image has a default 'image129743760.jpg' style name that gives no indication what the image is, then I will also add Category:Requires_Renaming (this is more for my benefit than yours as groups everything together that may need work if housekeeping here). In your case, since your image was called "P1000068.jpg", it got both categories when I was going through recent uploads. But really, there is no need to worry about the emails saying I have added categories - it is something I do to organise things here (we already have 5,550 images uploaded and counting!) and not a criticism or a problem for you. It does not require any action on your part.

But it is helpful if images do have descriptive names when possible. You can rename images during the upload process if using a mobile device (as i know it is not always possible to control the name that images are stored with on mobile devices). In the "more options" drop down of the screen that asks you to browse and find the image you want there is a "file name" section and you can type anything there and that will become the name once the image is uploaded. Alternatively you can leave me a message giving the name you want and I can change the name after the image is uploaded.

In terms of the sizing, I think you did it correctly. Choosing thumb allows you to control the size being displayed (rather than full size which is just one size). Then resize as needed to fit the page/post it is being used on.

We have help pages here (see Help:Contents) which can sometimes be helpful if trying to do something but hitting a brick wall in the confusing software! Help:Images and Help:Links might help with your profile but the image looks great the way it is right now, and links are working when I check so I think you are probably all sorted already!
