[edit] License tagging for Image:BillWirtz 460px.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:BillWirtz 460px.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

[edit] Image uploads

Hi there, it's cool that you want to help out by providing images but we need you to include more information with these image uploads or else they will end up bring deleted. At the very least, you should add where the image was obtained from and copyright information.

Wikipedia strongly prefers free images. Not free as in no cost, but free as in libre copyright. Public domain photos, photos that have been released under GFDL licenses, etc. In certain cases, fair use images can be used if they are necessary to help understand the text in the article, but usually they're not allowed in infoboxes. So, the pictures of Howard Cosell and Bill Wirtz, even if you had provided the necessary source and copyright information on the image page, would probably not work. Since they're both deceased it's kind of a gray area with some people though.

If you'd like a better explanation of these complicated image rules, have a look through those links that come up when you try to upload an image. The Parsnip! 20:58, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
