License tagging for Image:Sunset over Northern Canberra.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:Sunset over Northern Canberra.JPG. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 05:10, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

Picture

Hey Im hoping you can help me, I have read the Featured Picture process and don't understand it very well. Am I supposed to add a whole new bit to the peer review page or something? Thanks, Uwain

PS: i want to submit this picture Sunset in Canberra

You can either nominate it straight as a candidate for featured picture or nominate it initially for peer review - which will give you feedback and an indication if it is likely to make the grade. I would try peer review as a first step. You will need to sort out the license issue first - or it'll be a no-starter. Good Luck. Brookie :) - a will o' the wisp !

See below extract from the nomination prodedure page:

Too complicated?

If you are unable to follow the above procedure, add your image to Wikipedia:Picture peer review with the following syntax: [[Image:YourImageName.jpg|thumbnail|200px]], and mention that you would like to submit it, but that you don't know how. If someone else likes it, they will add it to Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates. Again, please do not add images directly to FPC using this syntax.

A tag has been placed on 64digits, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. ju66l3r 08:29, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for uploading Image:Laketorrensmap.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Jusjih 03:15, 8 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
