I just uploaded an image to Infinite Corridor. I made sure the license was OK (Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike), but I'm not sure if I need to put the photo credit (for the 'attribution' part of the license) in the caption. My intuition says that this is the fairest way to do it, since most readers won't click through to see the file details. But is that a good practice from a Wikipedian POV? -- Sylvar 13:12, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, that's common practice to do that, and it looks fine to me :) -- 9cds(talk) 13:15, 4 May 2006 (UTC)


Is there a list of articles that need photographs to illustrate the subject? Sylvar 14:02, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi, please see the Category:Wikipedia requested images category. Many Wikiprojects also have their own list of articles needing photographs and other images. Cheers, Tangotango 14:11, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

Caging list has many problems (out of date, NPOV, etc.) but I don't see anything else explaining what exactly 'caging' is. What's the best thing to do here? Nuke it from orbit? -- Sylvar 13:21, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

Take a look over Category:Wikipedia_maintenance_templates and Wikipedia:Template_messages/Cleanup#Specific_issues and see what will work best. (I think the nuke from orbit is in there, and Commander_Keane says to talk to User:The_Anome.) -- ∞Wirelain 13:29, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Admiral C. Jones

Hard to say -- Chuck Amuck (the contributor spelled it Amok) isn't indexed, and it's a hard book to skim, because I keep finding myself slowing down to read it. —tregoweth (talk) 23:30, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

  • Found it: Page 254 of my copy. —tregoweth (talk) 23:32, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mike Gravel images

Hi, I saw your comments on Wikipedia:Possibly unfree images#July 2. Have you already heard something from the webmaster? Garion96 (talk) 21:04, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

Yes, we've cleaned this up. Thanks! Sylvar 14:36, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
