[edit] Upload

Uploading images is quite easy. Just hit the upload file link to the left. Just make sure you know where it came from (and add that info to the page) and that you tag it with a proper image copyright tag. If you have problems determining the image's copyright status, just give me some details (who took it, where did you download it from and how old is it) and I'll try to help. - Mgm|(talk) 22:25, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

  • The image copyright tags you want to look at are {{GFDL}} and a variety of Creative Commons licenses. If you are happy to sign off any and all rights to the photograph, you can release it into the public domain using {{PD}}. Make sure you give the image a unique filename so it doesn't overwrite any existing files (including your name in the file usually helps and read the instructions at Special:Upload. How to use images in articles is covered in Wikipedia:Image tutorial. If you still have problems uploading the file (with detailed description), send me an email. I've already sent one to you. :) - Mgm|(talk) 18:40, 27 January 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Image Tagging Image:Walking Ring.jpg

Warning sign
This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Walking Ring.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, consider reading fair use, and then use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. 82.83.109.179 17:18, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
