[edit] Help!!!
Hello. I uploaded an image, Image:Kootenay_reflection.jpg today, March 8, 2008. The reason was that I wanted to include it on the Kootenay Lake Wikipedia page and also to submit it as a possible candidate for one of the finer Wikipedia images. I released the image as my own work, into the free domain.
After I included it in the Kootenay Lake page, when I wanted to see it, the image did not show. A red message with the image name did appear. When I clicked on it, it told me the image would be deleted unless I specified the license type.
Why is the image still rejected, after submitting it with all the necessary credentials (my own work; released to free public domain, etc.) Isn't such an upload immediately registered?
Please HELP!--Aernyes (talk) 15:58, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
- Hello Aernyes. You didn't upload Kootnay_reflection.jpg, you uploaded Image:Kootenay reflection.JPG which has no deletion tag on it. Because you didn't write the correct name of the image in the article, what you got was a redlink—that is, a link to an image which does not exist—and when you clicked on it you were taken to the generic upload file page which has information on uploading images, including a warning that images will be deleted if certain information isn't supplied. This had nothing to do with the image at issue. So, make sure when you attempt to add an image to an article that you are typing the exact name of the actual image. Note also that you can check your contribution history by clicking on "my contributions" from the links at the very top of the page, which would have shown you the actual file name you had uploaded.

Dear Fuhghettaboutit I uploaded this morning the same image, with exactly the same file name as it has in my own folder. I chose the option: entirely my own work and that I release it to the public domain. I believe that I supplied all the information which is required. The name is Kootenay_reflection, with an underscore separating the two words. Then I used exactly the same name in the Kootenay Lake editing page. The redlink still appeared. I throw in the towel. Wikipedia is just too unforgiving with images, even if a contributor does his utmost best to obey the rules and follow the guidelines. Before I offer to sign the release of my own picture using my blood, please help to fix this problem.--Aernyes (talk) 16:43, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
- It didn't have the underscore. I'm not sure how the uploads are handled in terms of renaming. You may want to just look at your own contributions and copy and paste the image name off the top of the page. -Optigan13 (talk) 17:35, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
- Again, the image you uploaded is the one I have named in my post above. I am not guessing as it comes straight out of your contribution history. Forget the name you think your chose, the name has no underscore, it has an e, and it's JPG not jpg.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 12:23, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi Aernyes, I have fixed up your Picture Peer Review nomination. Hope that's as you wanted it. --jjron (talk) 08:54, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
- Not a problem. Just drop me a note if you need any help or advice with stuff like that. --jjron (talk) 08:20, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
- Hey Aernyes. Don't take the comments made at PPR the wrong way. The reviewer was simply remarking on how the photo could be improved. His comments to do with copyright were not suggesting that you'd copied the picture, but were referring to the fact that things like statues are protected by copyright in many countries and you're not allowed to photograph them, or not allowed to photograph them for commercial purposes. You could check out Freedom of panorama for more information. Personally I think they're dumb laws, but that's the way it is.
Re removing the picture, I can't delete images from Wikipedia; you can request them to be deleted, but they would probably only do this if it was violating copyright for example. Anyway, it is a good picture and is a worthwhile contribution, so please don't feel discouraged about it. I will archive the PPR nomination at some stage.
