User talk:Nakh

Welcome

Hello, Nakh, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your edits have not conformed to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and have been reverted. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media. Always remember to provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles.

There is a page about the verifiability policy that explains the policy in greater detail, and another that offers tips on the proper ways of citing sources. If you are stuck and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, adding content without citing a reliable source is not consistent with our policy of verifiability. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you are familiar with Wikipedia:Citing sources, please take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. KillerChihuahua^?!?Advice 12:33, 14 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

{{Helpme}} Can I use any picture posted on Wikipedia, in other topics of Wikipedia. Nakh 10:29, 20 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No. In fact, in most cases you cannot use any image that is fair use (rather than licensed under a free license) that has been uploaded for use in one article, in any other article. See Wikipedia:Non-free content. Fair use images are specific to use in particular topics and in particular ways. This is not true all the time (and there are subtleties) but most fair use images are only properly used in articles which are about the subject the picture depicts and must be used at the beginning of that article. For example, a picture of a book cover or album cover is fair use as an educational image in an article on that album or book, but nowhere else. You could not properly, for example, use a fair use image of an album cover in a biography article on a band member simply because their image appears on that album cover. Now, if the image is licensed under a free license, or is in the public domain, you can use it anywhere. Any image page that is from the Wikimedia Commons is a free image as they only accept free images. Though all free images on Wikipedia really belong on the commons, people often upload them here, but many images locally uploaded are fair use and thus restricted. You can recognize a fair use image by the fair use rationale that the image page contains.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 10:44, 20 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(I was composing a reply at the same time as the above; I'll add a bit of clarification)

The vast majority of pictures can be used on any page, but yes, you need to check if they are 'fair use', by clicking on the pic. For example, look at File:Windows logo.svg, and notice that it has a "Non-free media use rationale" - so it can only be used on specific articles; I cannot even display it here on your talk page. If, however, you click on the Phobos picture here, you will see that it is free for any use.

If you are not sure, just ask;

Leave a message on my own talk page; OR
Use a {{helpme}} - please create a new section at the end of your own talk page, put {{helpme}}, and ask your question - remember to 'sign' your name by putting ~~~~ at the end; OR
Talk to us live, with this or this.
