[edit] License tagging for Image:Macleodclinton.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Macleodclinton.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] Humanitarian Overseas Service Medal

First, welcome to the madhouse! Hope you like the view :P

On a slightly more serious note, I have a slight beef with Humanitarian Overseas Service Medal. The article you created was a direct copy from the It's an Honour website, which according to both the Australian Government and Wikipedia, is a Bad ThingTM. Cut 'n' paste dumping copyright material to create an article is frownmed upon.

In the future, be sure to write in your own words, and to cite the source of your information. Have a look at the rewrite of the HOSM as an example.

Forewarned is foreamred. Happy editing!
