Regarding your attempt to add an image to T Tauri star, you would insert the following: [[File:T-TAURI star.jpg|thumb|(caption, description of image)]] at the location you wanted. However, it seems that first the image page File:T-TAURI star.jpg needs attention, see the red box on that page, and that needs to be addressed first.

I see that you uploaded that T-Tauri image. That raises a further question: what was the source of the image? It seems the image with the white crescent was published in the Current Science 2012 article by Herndon. The question is: is the white crescent in the original NASA image or is it an addition by Herndon for his publication? If the latter, then the image is a WP:copyright violation. In other words: did you aquire the image from a NASA page or from the Herndon article in Current Science? Vsmith (talk) 15:09, 8 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've undone your recent attempt to add the map image to Bruce C. Heezen. We don't add links to such sites due to copyright problems and the big red warning my antivirus software flashed up when I tried to view it. Seems we've discussed that site elsewhere.

Please also read WP:COI. We simply don't use Wikipedia to promote our own work. Vsmith (talk) 13:45, 11 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
