{{helpme}}
How do i upload photos from this site [1] which licence would fit with those photos? I need help im not good at photo licence and copyright stuff.
- Hi and Welcome to Wikipedia. You will need to get permission from the the people who hold the copyright to those photos. This may or may not be the site that is hosting them. You can write to the site that is hosting the photos and ask who owns the copyright, and if they would be willing to license them freely. Please review the information at Commons:OTRS and Commons:Email_templates. Thanks. Gigs (talk) 23:46, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
Copyright violations
Mystery.sin: I have noticed your recent contributions at Otokar Cobra and Otokar Kaya. Please realize that copying text from websites and pasting it into Wikipedia articles constitutes copyright violation, even if you have cited the source. It may be appropriate to use the websites you have cited as sources, but you need to put the information in your own word and insure that phrased in a neutral encyclopedic manner.

- Copying text from other websites is not allowed, since it constitutes a copyright violation. You may reference facts given in your own words to external websites, but copying text is not permitted. Thanks--Res2216firestar 01:39, 30 May 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks, Res; I was just about to write the same. Mystery.sin: Wikipedia could use an article about Otokar Kaya. Please make sure the words are your own, because there's always someone somewhere ;) Regards, Aramgar (talk) 01:45, 30 May 2009 (UTC)
