License tagging for Image:29755625.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:29755625.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.

Question

Yep I'm here. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 12:15, 12 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Can you give me the link to where you got the picture from and which article it's supposed to be in. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 12:23, 12 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well if you got it from someone else then it would probably violate their copyright. Take a look at Wikipedia:Copyrights. If you look on the right hand side there are several links to help pages. You can ask questions there and they would be better able to help you. I don't really know a lot about copyright myself (except that you usually can't just copy others work) and the people over on the help pages are really good with that stuff. Cheers.

Question

I have a Query:-

I want to upload a photograph of the junior national badminton team of india. I lifted this photograph from an Orkut user's Personal album without her knowledge. She herself is pictured in that photograph .

My question is exactly what should i do for the photograph to be accepted because i know nothing of its origin but am eager to upload it please help me.

From what you describe there is nothing you can do. We take copyright very seriously and cannot accept anything for which the copyright status is unknown. From your description it sounds like the photograph is stolen, so we certainly couldn't use it. --pgk 20:21, 12 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thankyou for coming to help. My problem is that i everyday update the current ranking of ,Saina Nehwal,a badminton player from the website: http://www.internationalbadminton.org/womensingles.asp?Fname=&Name=&txtId=52748&cboNAC=-&Submit=Submit at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saina_Nehwal but now Saina has reached her career best ranking but how to keep its citation as the World Badminton Federation ( formerly known as International Badminton Federation ) website does not retains the best rankings of players. Now how will i give the citation? because newspapers do not need to publish this news until some big tournament. --Sudhirkumarlal 13:19, 18 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I personally have no idea, there's usually a pretty quick response with {{helpme}} though, so I think someone else more knowledgable than me will be looking within a few minutes probably. --Atari2600tim (talk • contribs) 13:25, 18 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A quick Google search found this website, which lists her career best ranking. Could you use that as a citation? —P^urple ^RA^IN 15:30, 18 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hey her new ranking is 26 instead of 27 and only WBF website http://www.internationalbadminton.org/womensingles.asp?Fname=&Name=&txtId=52748&cboNAC=-&Submit=Submit gives the latest rankings but it doesnt tells what was the ranking on a particular day in past.--Sudhirkumarlal 23:15, 18 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please read WP:CITE. You can note when a webpage is retrieved, so even if it's taken down later, the citation is still valid. Obviously, it'd be nice if you could have another reference. Xiner (talk, email) 23:28, 18 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thankyou for helping! I am sorry for disturbing wikipedians as i found out that this WBF website actually maintains the historical rankings . So my problem is solved.--Sudhirkumarlal 23:34, 18 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I want to give an article the "Current Event" tag as i continuously edit the article regarding the player's ranking as the article is on a badminton player.Please give me something so that i may copy paste it .--Sudhirkumarlal 13:08, 19 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Take a look at Wikipedia:Template messages. Cheers, Tangotango (talk) 13:46, 19 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think the template you want is {{current}}. Just add {{current}} to the top of the page (including the curly braces), and you should be good to go. —P^urple ^RA^IN 15:55, 19 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
