Duplicate images uploaded

Thanks for uploading Image:Irishmandximg1redo.png. A machine-controlled robot account noticed that you also uploaded the same image under the name Image:Irishmandximg1.png. The copy called Image:Irishmandximg1.png has been marked for speedy deletion since it is redundant. If this sounds okay to you, there is no need for you to take any action.

This is an automated message- you have not upset or annoyed anyone. In the future, you may save yourself some confusion if you supply a meaningful file name and remember exactly which name you chose (file names are case sensitive, including the extension) so that you won't lose track of your uploads. For tips on good file naming, see Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions about this notice, or feel that the deletion is inappropriate, please contact User:Staecker, who operates the robot account. Staeckerbot 01:17, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Irishman- your uploads worked, and you can include them on your userpage, just the same way you'd include them on any ordinary article. Look at WP:EIS for the details on how to do this. As for the licensing, you definately do not want to use a "fair use" license on this one. Fair use means that somebody else owns the copyright to the work and you are using it without their permission, but you believe that your use if the work is "fair" in a particular legal sense. In this case, you do own the copyright to these images, and it is yours to decide how they may be used. "Public domain" is one choice, in which you legally forfeit all rights to the work. Since you labeled Image:Irishmandximg1redo.png as public domain, that means that anybody can use it for any purpose (commercial or otherwise) without your permission. This may not have been your intention- if not, you can change the license by editing the page and switching the licensing template. Another option is {{GFDL-self}}, which allows anyone to reuse the image, but only in contexts which are also freely editable (this is how the text of Wikipedia is licensed). There are other options which allow different freedoms for the image, but GFDL is the preferred one (though public domain is even free-er). You can read about all the image license tags at WP:TAG.
