Wikipedia:Files for upload

Welcome to Files for Upload, part of WikiProject Articles for creation. This process was created to allow unregistered users to add new files to Wikipedia with the assistance of experienced Wikipedians. If you would like to upload an image yourself, you can create an account and after four days and 10 edits you will be autoconfirmed and able to upload files. However, please consider uploading free files over at the Wikimedia Commons (instructions for creating an account there can be found here).

Reviewing requests

If you are an experienced editor, then you can help out by reviewing requests. Make sure you're familiar with Wikipedia's policies on non-free content (or simplified version). Learn about Wikipedia's various copyright tags. Read the guide on how to review file upload requests. Note that this page's editnotice contains an expandable cheat sheet with all the templates used in reviewing requests. After uploading the file tag its talk page with {{subst:WPAFCF}}. Remember to subst all templates. Notify the requester at their talk page using {{subst:ffu talk}} ~~~~ whenever you act on their request. You are responsible for anything you upload, so make sure you are comfortable that the file satisfies Wikipedia's policies first. If the file is non-free, then you must insert the file in the appropriate article right away in order to comply with the non-free content criteria.

There is no license given here, and I cannot see it on that web site either, and the picture link does not work. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 21:13, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

Japanese wall calendar.jpg

Description: A Japanese wall calendar, in actual use in a home.

URL: http://img39.imageshack.us/img39/7578/wallcalendar.jpg

License: Fair use (see Reason For Fair Use below for more)

Link To License Information: N/A (image is own work)

Author/Copyright Holder's Name: Robert Lozyniak (I took the photo)

Article To Be Used On/Reason For Upload: This is a photograph of a Japanese wall calendar in actual use in my home. I intend it for use on the Wikipedia "calendar" article.

Reason For Fair Use:

• Purpose and character of the use: The purpose is to illustrate the general appearance and use of a wall calendar with a separate page for every day. As the photo is of the calendar in actual use in a home, it fits the purpose quite aptly.
• The nature of the copyrighted work: Inspection of the calendar failed to yield any useful information as to who, if anyone, owns the copyright.　For what it's worth, the calendar was purchased online from Rakuten, and is (or at least appears identical to) the one shown at: [[1]]
• The amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole: Being one page of a yearly calendar, this would make it 1/365 of the total work, would it not? Although a calendar contains enough redundancy that it could be argued that it is much more than this...
• The effect of the use upon the potential market for, or value of, the copyrighted work: This page is part of a wall calendar, and is really only useful as such. If it bothers you that someone might print out the page and use it for what little is left of the day shown on the page (the day is already over in Japan), just wait a few hours and this will take care of itself.
