I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and vote pages using three tildes, like this: ~~~. Four tildes (~~~~) produces your name and the current date. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome!
I assume you are the same person as 68.82.52.207. (If so, you may have inadvertently been logged out while editing. Check your cookie settings.) Thank you for your music-related article contributions. I noticed you were trying to add an image to The Monkees. Your image was successfully uploaded; you can see it at Image:4kees.jpg. To add it to the article, with right alignment as you had tried, the correct code is [[Image:4kees.jpg|right]]
(only the filename, not the full URL, is required). This process is fully explained at Wikipedia:Picture tutorial. Feel free to ask me if you have any further questions. —Kdau 04:38, 2004 Dec 27 (UTC)
P.S. You might find it easier to use the "Show preview" button before using the "Save page" button when making formatting edits or major additions. This allows you to see the article as it will appear with your edit, and to make any corrections necessary before committing your work. It also keeps the articles' edit histories tidier. —Kdau 04:47, 2004 Dec 27 (UTC)
- I see you already figured out captioning. Copyright is a somewhat ambiguous issue on Wikipedia, due to its educational nature. Album cover images are generally understood to be fair use. Other celebrity images have to be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. See Wikipedia:Copyright FAQ and Wikipedia:Fair use for discussion of these issues. You should definitely mark any images you add with their copyright status: Image:HQs Album Cover.jpg should be marked with
{{albumcover}}
; and, if you wish to assert fair use for them, the other three images you uploaded should be marked with{{fairuse}}
. These place templates on the image page which explain the basis for inclusion. They are normally added on a separate line below the caption. In any case, the ideal is to find and to use images which are in the public domain ({{PD}}
) or otherwise (GPL, GFDL, CC, etc.) freely released. —Kdau 20:15, 2004 Dec 27 (UTC)
