Help!!!
[edit]Hello. I uploaded an image, Image:Kootenay_reflection.jpg today, March 8, 2008. The reason was that I wanted to include it on the Kootenay Lake Wikipedia page and also to submit it as a possible candidate for one of the finer Wikipedia images. I released the image as my own work, into the free domain.
After I included it in the Kootenay Lake page, when I wanted to see it, the image did not show. A red message with the image name did appear. When I clicked on it, it told me the image would be deleted unless I specified the license type.
Why is the image still rejected, after submitting it with all the necessary credentials (my own work; released to free public domain, etc.) Isn't such an upload immediately registered?
Please HELP!--Aernyes (talk) 15:58, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
- Hello Aernyes. You didn't upload Kootnay_reflection.jpg, you uploaded Image:Kootenay reflection.JPG which has no deletion tag on it. Because you didn't write the correct name of the image in the article, what you got was a redlink—that is, a link to an image which does not exist—and when you clicked on it you were taken to the generic upload file page which has information on uploading images, including a warning that images will be deleted if certain information isn't supplied. This had nothing to do with the image at issue. So, make sure when you attempt to add an image to an article that you are typing the exact name of the actual image. Note also that you can check your contribution history by clicking on "my contributions" from the links at the very top of the page, which would have shown you the actual file name you had uploaded. Cheers.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 16:29, 8 March 2008 (UTC))
Dear Fuhghettaboutit I uploaded this morning the same image, with exactly the same file name as it has in my own folder. I chose the option: entirely my own work and that I release it to the public domain. I believe that I supplied all the information which is required. The name is Kootenay_reflection, with an underscore separating the two words. Then I used exactly the same name in the Kootenay Lake editing page. The redlink still appeared. I throw in the towel. Wikipedia is just too unforgiving with images, even if a contributor does his utmost best to obey the rules and follow the guidelines. Before I offer to sign the release of my own picture using my blood, please help to fix this problem.--Aernyes (talk) 16:43, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
- It didn't have the underscore. I'm not sure how the uploads are handled in terms of renaming. You may want to just look at your own contributions and copy and paste the image name off the top of the page. -Optigan13 (talk) 17:35, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
- Again, the image you uploaded is the one I have named in my post above. I am not guessing as it comes straight out of your contribution history. Forget the name you think your chose, the name has no underscore, it has an e, and it's JPG not jpg.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 12:23, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
PPR
[edit]Hi Aernyes, I have fixed up your Picture Peer Review nomination. Hope that's as you wanted it. --jjron (talk) 08:54, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
- Not a problem. Just drop me a note if you need any help or advice with stuff like that. --jjron (talk) 08:20, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
- Hey Aernyes. Don't take the comments made at PPR the wrong way. The reviewer was simply remarking on how the photo could be improved. His comments to do with copyright were not suggesting that you'd copied the picture, but were referring to the fact that things like statues are protected by copyright in many countries and you're not allowed to photograph them, or not allowed to photograph them for commercial purposes. You could check out Freedom of panorama for more information. Personally I think they're dumb laws, but that's the way it is.
Re removing the picture, I can't delete images from Wikipedia; you can request them to be deleted, but they would probably only do this if it was violating copyright for example. Anyway, it is a good picture and is a worthwhile contribution, so please don't feel discouraged about it. I will archive the PPR nomination at some stage. Cheers, --jjron (talk) 08:16, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Self Portrait 878 3.5x5.jpg
[edit]Thanks for uploading File:Self Portrait 878 3.5x5.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.
If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
- make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
- Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-enwikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here.
If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-enwikimedia.org.
If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. IngerAlHaosului (talk) 15:05, 23 January 2010 (UTC)
Can you help sort this article out? I'm having trouble with the Hungarian translations carried out by Google. It's up for deletion so I'm going to ask a couple of other editors who speak Hungarian also. Thanks. ChildofMidnight (talk) 17:44, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
Help on references
[edit]Re. Magda Szabo
Hello from Andrew Ernyes My article on Magda Szabo, the Miniaturist artist has been flagged as lacking inline citations. I had to resort to the existing external links because so far no Wikipedia articles exist on Miniature Art societies, such as the famous Hilliard Society of Miniaturists of England, or the Florida Miniature Art Society. Please advise me how to go about resolving this issue. Thanks Andrew Ernyes Aernyes (talk) 02:17, 20 July 2010 (UTC) {{helpme}}
- Hi there. I moved this to your own talk page; we like to deal with {{helpme}} on user talk pages, not article pages - for one thing, you will immediately notice the response, and for another, it is more convenient for you, to leave you links and advice here.
- You are confusing two different things;
- An inline citation is a way of adding references inline, which creates a small numbered footnote, that looks like this[1]. These are important, because it lets us see which references verify which facts.
Simple references
[edit]These require two parts;
- a)
Chzz is 98 years old.<ref> "The book of Chzz", Aardvark Books, 2009. </ref> He likes tea. <ref> [http://www.nicecupofteaandasitdown.com Tea website] </ref>
- b) A section called "References" with the special code "{{reflist}}";
== References == {{reflist}}
(an existing article is likely to already have one of these sections)
To see the result of that, please look at user:chzz/demo/simpleref. Edit it, and check the code; perhaps make a test page of your own, such as user:Aernyes/reftest and try it out.
Named references
[edit]Chzz was born in 1837, <ref name="MyBook"> "The book of Chzz", Aardvark Books, 2009. </ref> in Footown.<ref name="MyBook"/>
Note that the second usage has a / (and no closing ref tag). This needs a reference section as above; please see user:chzz/demo/namedref to see the result.
Citation templates
[edit]You can put anything you like between <ref> and </ref>, but using citation templates makes for a neat, consistent look;
Chzz has 37 Olympic medals. <ref> {{Citation | last = Smith | first = John | title = Olympic medal winners of the 20th century | publication-date = 2001 | publisher = [[Cambridge University Press]] | page = 125 | isbn = 0-521-37169-4 }} </ref>
Please see user:chzz/demo/citeref to see the result.
For more help and tips on that subject, see user:chzz/help/refs.
For more help, you can either;
- 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.
The last of those is particularly useful - please try it; pop in now and say hello. Chzz ► 01:28, 22 July 2010 (UTC)
