[edit] Hints

Hello!

Thanks for uploading some pictures to Wikipedia. I wanted to make sure you were aware of some of the requirements and good practices for uploaded images.

  • Pick an image name.
When uploading an image, pick a file name that is descriptive, and unique. Remember that many images may be uploaded about the same topic, and remember that names are case sensitive.
  • Source the image.
On the image description page, explain where the image came from. If you created the image yourself, then say so. If it's from the web, give a URL. If it's a screenshot of a movie or game, or a scan from a book, give the title.
  • Provide copyright and license information.
This part is a little bit trickier, but it's very important. The copyright of the image generally belongs to whomever created it.
If it's a photograph you took, or an image you created (modifying an image that already exists doesn't count) in software like Photoshop or GIMP, then you own the copyright. To upload it to Wikipedia, you must agree to license it under the GFDL (which allows anyone to use it, but requires that they give credit to the original author and requires that any further edit to the image be licensed under the GFDL as well) or release it into the public domain (which allows anyone to use it for any purpose without restriction.) Do this by placing an appropriate tag on the image description page, like {{GFDL}} or {{PD}}. Be sure to mention that you created the image. If you're using {{PD}}, you may also want to use {{NoRightsReserved}}, since there is some dispute as to whether one may grant items into the public domain.
If you didn't create the image, or the copyright somehow belongs to another party (like a screenshot, which you might "create", but the copyright belongs to the author of the movie or video game), then you need to find another tag that describes the copyright status of the image. Images used on Wikipedia need to be free for our use and the use of sites which reproduce our content. This means that images cannot have a restriction such as "only for use by Wikipedia", or "for non-commercial use only", or "for educational use". Images without a free license may be usable in certain articles under fair use, but such a use should be justified on the image description page.
  • Describe the image.
To another reader, the image may not be immediately understood. A caption in an article doesn't explain the image to a visitor who sees it on its image page. Put a brief explanation of what is in the image on the image description page, similar to what you might include in a caption on an article.

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:1250.jpeg

Thanks for uploading Image:1250.jpeg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

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

Please see WP:CONTEXT. This article is fairly meaningless and provides no useful information. (|-- UlTiMuS ( U • T • C | M • E ) 02:05, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re Rudy Acuña

First off, thanks for starting the article. We had been needing it for a long time. I'll see what else I can dig up about him.

I wanted to talk to you about the articles you listed there. For one, I don't think we generally tend to link to articles the subject of a WP article has written (see WP:EL). Secondly, the four articles you listed are hosted by the infamous Voz de Aztlán, an Anti-Semitic website. These people are not the most responsible webmasters, and make no attempt to clarify that they are republishing, rather than publishing, Acuña's articles. Therefore casual visitors to the article may come away from the reading believing some association exists between Dr. Acuña and La Voz de Aztlán. If we can find them in their original printing, I have no problem with keeping them on. But I'd hate to do anything to help that website, and linking to it will only increase their page ranking, as well as unnecessarily defame the subject of the article. What do you think?--Rockero 05:45, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Glenn Vilppu

A tag has been placed on Glenn Vilppu, 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 (see the guidelines for notability here). If you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please write {{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.

Please read the criteria for speedy deletion (specifically, articles #7) and our general biography criteria. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Princess Tiswas 12:09, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Please do not remove speedy deletion tags from articles that you have created yourself, as you did to Glenn Vilppu. If you do not believe the article deserves to be deleted, then please place {{hangon}} on the page and make your case on the article's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the article. Thank you.  :: Princess Tiswas 12:46, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
