[edit] Advice on uploading images

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-self}}. Be sure to mention that you created the image. If you're using {{PD-self}}, 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] Copyright infringement

It appears that you do not understand wikipedia's strict copyright policy concerning the fair use of images. If you are not the creator of the images that you are uploading into wikipedia, you cannot claim GFDL license for them. There are alternative tags for artworks done prior to 1925, or when the author died more than 100 years ago or when the pictures come from a government site (in the U.S.), but these do not apply to your images. If you do not want your multiple Homalocephale images to be deleted, you will need to obtain a proper authorization from the original creator of the artworks. Thank you.

Please note, if you continue uploading copyrighted images with invalid license tag, and ignore wikipedia copyright policy. you will be blocked from editing on wikipedia. ArthurWeasley 17:34, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your images

You've uploaded several images that are taken directly off another website. You need to show that these images are public domain or GFDL as you've tagged them, and not copyrighted. Grandmasterka 19:16, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

I've blocked you for now. Please make sure your images are correctly tagged in the future... If the images you've copied off of the website are your own, please declare them accordingly and show their source. Images need source information to be included on Wikipedia.

[edit] I wont upload not well tagged images anymore.

I wont upload not well tagged images anymore, unless public domain or my work. (How do you tag images public domain?) Sorry it wont happen again.

Paleontologist.piczo

The problem is that most images that you find on websites are not public domain: they are copyrighted. This was the case for all your Homalocephale images, that's why they were deleted with or without whatever tag you put on them. You cannot use them on wikipedia unless you show proof that you have received proper permission from the author of the artworks. Uploading your own artwork is fine, just have to say you've done it yourself and license it as GDFL. ArthurWeasley 15:56, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
