Thanks for uploading Image:Anna Bradfield.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.

[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.

Thanks again for your contributions. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me at my talk page. Orane (talk • cont.) 06:49, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] About the Barbra Streisand picture

Currently it is a picture with unknown copyright. It actually even says (C) Retna, so it is a copyright violation and probably does not fit in the fair use definition of Wikipedia. (Because promo pictures have to have evidence that they are promotional and if they have a copyright sign then they are not promotional).

The current image is not ideal, however it is within fair use, so it's better than nothing. If I didn't revert your image then Barbra Streisand would end up with no picture since the picture you have uploaded is scheduled to be deleted. Hope you understand, and please read the other posts above as well. KittenKlub 22:09, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

The same applied to Celine Dion. I've reverted the picture to the previous picture which was acceptable. KittenKlub 22:12, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Celine Dion

Hi, I'm Orane, one of the Administrators for Wikipedia. Thanks for your contributions to the Celine Dion article.

Please stop replacing Image:Céline Dion-AFR.JPG with a picture of her album cover. This picture is far more acceptable in the sense that it is free image, where as her album cover is copyrighted material. In fact, I see that you have had quite a bit of trouble with images. I suggest that you read the hints that I gave you above before editing or uploading other images. Thank you. Orane (talk • cont.) 03:44, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
