Image hints

Hello!

Thanks for uploading some pictures to Wikipedia. I wanted to make sure you were aware of some of the requirements and good practices for uploaded images.

Pick an image name.

When uploading an image, pick a file name that is descriptive, and unique. Remember that many images may be uploaded about the same topic, and remember that names are case sensitive.

Source the image.

On the image description page, explain where the image came from. If you created the image yourself, then say so. If it's from the web, give a URL. If it's a screenshot of a movie or game, or a scan from a book, give the title.

Provide copyright and license information.

This part is a little bit trickier, but it's very important. The copyright of the image generally belongs to whomever created it.

If it's a photograph you took, or an image you created (modifying an image that already exists doesn't count) in software like Photoshop or GIMP, then you own the copyright. To upload it to Wikipedia, you must agree to license it under the GFDL (which allows anyone to use it, but requires that they give credit to the original author and requires that any further edit to the image be licensed under the GFDL as well) or release it into the public domain (which allows anyone to use it for any purpose without restriction.) Do this by placing an appropriate tag on the image description page, like {{GFDL}} or {{PD}}. Be sure to mention that you created the image. If you're using {{PD}}, you may also want to use {{NoRightsReserved}}, since there is some dispute as to whether one may grant items into the public domain.

If you didn't create the image, or the copyright somehow belongs to another party (like a screenshot, which you might "create", but the copyright belongs to the author of the movie or video game), then you need to find another tag that describes the copyright status of the image. Images used on Wikipedia need to be free for our use and the use of sites which reproduce our content. This means that images cannot have a restriction such as "only for use by Wikipedia", or "for non-commercial use only", or "for educational use". Images without a free license may be usable in certain articles under fair use, but such a use should be justified on the image description page.

Describe the image.

To another reader, the image may not be immediately understood. A caption in an article doesn't explain the image to a visitor who sees it on its image page. Put a brief explanation of what is in the image on the image description page, similar to what you might include in a caption on an article.

Some links to Wikipedia pages on this subject:

Copyrights, Copyright tags, Fair use, Image description page, Public domain, Images for deletion, Possibly unfree images, Copyright problems, Uploading images

Thanks again for your contributions. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me at my talk page. Flying Canuck 17:11, 11 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I see you've just addded the {{helpme}} tag. Can I help you with something? --Pilotguy ^{(talk ¦ ✉)} 19:41, 11 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please hold on for just a second. I will review your pictures momentarily. --Pilotguy ^{(talk ¦ ✉)} 19:55, 11 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Your images are going to be deleted because they are from other websites and you didn't ask thier permission to put them on Wikipedia. That's not allowed. --Pilotguy ^{(talk ¦ ✉)} 20:03, 11 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Unnecessary capitalizations

Hi, please refrain from capitalizing first letter of each word in article section titles; for accepted wikipedia standards, please see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:MOSHEAD#Capitalisation

Thanks..

South African dates

Hi. I've reverted your date changes in Nelson Mandela; this is a topic about a South African, and therefore the article is written in South African English. We do not use American-style dates here, but instead British-style. Please be more considerate in future. dewet|™ 07:46, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ditto for Steve Biko, please see Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates and numbers)#Date formats related to topics. -- Jeandré, 2006-04-15t16:37z

Others

Hi JJW20084. Below, I'm pasting a list of some of the images that you've uploaded that also lack a valid copyright tag. I have tried to explain the reasons on the image description pages. In general, though, NBA.com images are generally not suitable for Wikipedia, and it is likey that there is no fair use rationale under which we can keep their copyrighted images. Also, please consider that there is ample opportunity to procure or produce free images of current players, and that such images are much more compatible Wikipedia's goal of creating a free encyclopedia.

Please review Wikipedia:Image use policy, Wikipedia:Image copyright tags, and Wikipedia:Fair use before uploading any additional images. If you have any questions, you can ask ask at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. ×Meegs 15:25, 25 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image (Image:LeBronMVPPortrait400.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:LeBronMVPPortrait400.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use.

You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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.
