[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:W187.gif

employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Thank you. -SCEhardT 23:57, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Set n forget

See this deleteion debate to comment on why the article is needed on Wikipedia. I believe it doesn't meet our notability guidelines - however vague they are on brand name products - but feel free to put as case forward. Also, for any questions you have on Wikipedia as a new user, please visit Wikipedia Boot Camp. Harro5 10:48, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] User space

One strategy - and this has plusses and minuses -- is to create articles in your user space, and then move them into Wiki space when they're ready. Even so, I can the person's point about not allowing separate articles for individual products, you can imagine how advertising agencies and companies would love to get articles on their products into Wikipedia.... Perhaps just one long article on the inventor, or if that's too long, perhaps one article on the inventor and one article on all his inventions combined... Herostratus 00:29, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image Tagging Image:W172.gif

Warning sign
This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:W172.gif. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, consider reading fair use, and then use a tag such as {{fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. bluemask 19:02, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:Xle pic.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:Xle pic.gif. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. 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 specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.

[edit] License tagging for Image:GE Example0.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:GE Example0.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:

[edit] re Google SketchUp 3D Text

Hi Ashleyjoyce. I can see that you put a lot of work into this article. However, as an encyclopedia we can't really get into this level of detail, we are specifically WP:NOT a source for how-to manuals. Geez, I hate to do this, but I'm going to have to put this up for deletion, rules are rules. I hope you don't find this discouraging. Lots of editors lose articles this way. Anyway, it has five days to live, in case you want to save the text or if you want to recast it as a shorter, descriptive, article. Herostratus 07:27, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

Herostratus: I understand your point about How-to-Manuals. maybe its a bit long. I was trying to make it visual (the reason for so many pictures)... so readers could see how easy it is to create 3D text for google earth. I will recasrt it as a shorter descriptive, article in the next few days. Ashleyjoyce 07:54, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

  • If you use the Wikipedia:Image tutorial to downsize how the images are displayed in the article, Wikibooks may be interested (they DO accept how to manuals), but you'd need to release the images under a free license - Wikipedia only (or Wikibooks only) images will get deleted according to our copyright policy. - Mgm|(talk) 08:38, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

Guys: I've taken all your suggestions onboard and have totally rewritten the article and removed the tutorial to the suwiki website with a link to it. I think it works alot better now. Any comments welcome. Ashleyjoyce 00:12, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

Yes it's looking better. I do want to warn you, though, that we software programs have to be notable for it to rate an article, which basically means meeting the requirements at WP:SOFTWARE. If not, somebody will probably come along sooner or later and nominate if for deletion. Herostratus 17:44, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
