I must ask, you do realise the series name is "H2O" (H-two-Oh), not "H20" (H-two-zero)? — Huntster (t • @ • c) 01:46, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
How to insert images in articlesHi again. This may be helpful, I guess in response to your question. Cheers. CeeGee (talk) 18:20, 31 October 2008 (UTC) How to insert an infoboxHi! Infoboxes are templates you can use in your article. You better check a similar article and copy the "infobox ......" template you needed. Happy wikiediting.

Re: H2O imagesNo, not at this time, because free images of the characters or actresses do not exist. — Huntster (t • @ • c) 09:48, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
Finding free imagesGenerally the best way to get a free image is to take it yourself. (For example, if you look at my userpage, I have a gallery of images I uploaded, most of which are images I took myself during my travels.) An image you've taken yourself can be licensed under any license you want it to be (free, Creative Commons, GNU Documentation license, etc.). Most images you find online are not free. (The upload page says: "The vast majority of images found on the Internet are not suitable for use on Wikipedia.") For example, when you do a google image search, almost everything you see will be copyrighted (images from news websites, people's blogs, etc.). Some images you find on Flickr may be free, but it depends; at the bottom right side of the flickr page there will be a little icon telling you if it's free or not (you can use the Wikipedia:Upload/Flickr page to interpret those icons and figure out if an image is free). Other than some flickr images, your best bet is to avoid any images that you've found through a google search. Some images online qualify as "fair use." What that means is that they're images that are copyrighted (generally works of art: drawings, photos, comics, etc.) and there will never be a free replacement for them because they're unique. When an image is a fair use image, you may upload it to Wikipedia and use it, a tiny bit, and you may only use it in articles. For example, two of the images at Gunnerkrigg Court, an article that I recently got promoted to Good Article status are fair use images because they're pictures of webcomics. You can click on the images in that article to see what fair use images look like. The Catwoman and Passion images that you had on your userpage earlier are also fair use images. That being said, by far the best place to find free images is at Wikimedia Commons (http://commons.wikimedia.org). That site is like Wikipedia, but is nothing but a place for storing images, and all the images there are free. So if you're looking for an image to use for something, the first thing you should do is search Wikimedia Commons and see if they have it there. —Politizer talk/contribs 05:02, 12 November 2008 (UTC) Uploading imagesSo that's all about finding images. Now let's say you have an image you want to upload (for example, a photo you took). The first thing to do is make sure you have a place to use it (an article that you want to illustrate, for example); this is because if you upload an image but don't put it on any pages, somebody might delete it. Once you know what you're going to use the image for, you can go to Wikipedia:Upload, where it has step-by-step instructions for how to upload the image, depending on what kind of image it is. Once you get used to uploading images from there, you can also use Special:Upload, which is a bit faster, but at that page you have to know how to write the image description and licensing information (ie, whether it's a Free Image, Fair Use Image, GNU Documentation image, etc.), so it's probably better to use Wikipedia:Upload for your first couple images. I use Special:Upload, but by now I have gotten pretty used to how it works. When you're uploading the image, you should include as much image as possible on what the image is and where it came from. The easiest way to put this information on the image page is simply to copy the formatting from another image page. For example, you can go to any of the images on my userpage, and at that image page click "edit", and from the edit page copy and paste the section that looks something like this: {{Information | description = | source = | date = | author = | permission = }} Once you've gotten that, go back to the image you are uploading (don't save the edits to the image where you got the information from), paste that in, and fill in all the fields with description, date, author, etc. —Politizer talk/contribs 05:08, 12 November 2008 (UTC) Another useful thing to do, now that you have all these links, is make a part on your userpage to store all of them. For example, on my userpage I used to have a section called "Useful links," under which I kept all the links that had useful information but I might not remember off the top of my head. If you make a section like that in your userpage, you can find all the information you need without having to remember the name of every single page. —Politizer talk/contribs 05:09, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
finding picturesI'll use this picture (from my brother's flickr) as an example... Once you open that page, to the right of the picture you'll see a link to the person's photostream and to the set that the picture is in. Below that (and also to the right) is a column with This photo belongs to and a list of sets; below that is Tags and a list of tags. And finally, below that, on the right-hand side near the bottom of the page, is a section that says Additional information; in that section there is a gray "c" that says All Rights Reserved, and a green box that says "Anyone can see this photo." After you've found that part of the page, open another window and go to Wikipedia:Upload/Flickr to check if the photo is usable or not. On this page you find the c with All Rights Reserved, and it shows that this particular photo is not ok to put on Wikipedia. Anyway, if you just follow those steps with all the photos you find on flickr, you can find out if it's ok to upload the photos or not. —Politizer talk/contribs 01:13, 15 November 2008 (UTC) downloading free images
Re: why?Just some off-wiki issues. I hope the name change hasn't caused you any confusion. By the way, I just noticed this edit of yours. Remember what we said earlier about blanking talk pages? rʨanaɢ talk/contribs 03:18, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
Problems with upload of File:The end.jpgThanks for uploading File:The end.jpg. You don't seem to have said where the image came from, who created it, or provided a license tag. We require this information to verify that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia, and because most image licenses require giving credit to the image's creator. To add this information, select the appropriate license tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the information to the image's description. If you can't find a suitable license tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. If you need help, post your question on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.
