'''''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 [[Special:Upload|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 [[Wikipedia:image description page|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 [[WP:ICT|tag]] on the [[Wikipedia:image description page|image description page]], like {{[[Template:GFDL|GFDL]]}} or {{[[Template:PD|PD]]}}. Be sure to mention that you created the image. If you're using {{[[Template:PD|PD]]}}, you may also want to use {{[[Template:NoRightsReserved|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 [[WP:ICT|tag]] that describes the copyright status of the image. Images used on Wikipedia need to be free for our use and the use of [[WP:FORKS|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 [[WP:FU|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. |
|||

Thanks for uploading '''[[:Image:Hihi.jpg]]'''. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the [[copyright]] status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page. |
|||
If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{tl|GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the [[GFDL]]. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, consider reading [[Wikipedia:Fair use|fair use]], and then use a tag such as {{tlp|fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at [[Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use]]. See [[Wikipedia:Image copyright tags]] for the full list of copyright tags that you can use. |
|||
If you have uploaded other media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "[[Special:Contributions/{{PAGENAME}}|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. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on [[wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#Images.2FMedia|criteria for speedy deletion]]. If you have any questions please ask them at the [[Wikipedia:Media copyright questions|Media copyright questions page]]. Thank you. [[User:Feydey|feydey]] 00:32, 22 May 2006 (UTC) |
