[edit] Image tips

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 short, 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.

Some links to Wikipedia pages on this subject:

Copyrights, Copyright tags, Fair use, Image description page, Public domain, Images for deletion, Possibly unfree images, Copyright problems, Uploading images

Thanks again for your contributions. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me at my talk page.

Please note especially that if you created the images, you need to give them a free license to use them in Wikipedia. Thanks. :)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:117-1769 IMG.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:117-1769 IMG.JPG. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's 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. --cohesion★talk 07:08, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Frantisek Janak Examples in Moser Factory in Karlovy Vary.JPG

Hi Colm, I've just tagged this image "Used with permission" which is not an acceptable license for images on Wikipedia but it seemed to be the only tag that fits the description you gave when you uploaded it. Please have a look at it, and if it needs to be retagged as per Wikipedia:Image copyright tags, please do so. Thanks Rossrs 11:37, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

Here is another one Image:Ireland Eye Martello Tower.jpg it say you took the image, so now I think maybe you took the one above also. These need to be correctly tagged so if you are willing to release them under GFDL can you please go to each image description page and tag them with the {{GFDL}} tag. Thanks Rossrs 10:16, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image Tagging Image:Frantisek Janak.jpg

This image may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Frantisek Janak.jpg. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the image qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|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 images, please check 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. Thank you.Rossrs 11:38, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

I've had a look as you suggested. I'm not sure. The only thing I can think of is to use the {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} together with a fair use rationale. Have a look at Wikipedia:Image description page and it gives a pretty good rundown on how to fill in a fair use rationale. I'll leave it to you though, as you are more familiar with the person in question, and I wouldn't know what to say. Let me know if you need a hand though. Cheers Rossrs 09:02, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Reply about image licenses

Sure, for those requirements, I would suggest the Creative Commons Attribution, ShareAlike 2.5 license. The template is here Template:Cc-by-sa-2.5 and you can read the actual license from their site [1]. To add that license, you can just go to the image file you uploaded and click edit, then after the description somewhere type {{cc-by-sa-2.5}}. I know all this licensing is crazy, our copyright laws don't make it simple :D - cohesion★talk 18:36, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Vridlo sprudel.PNG listed for deletion

An image or media file that you uploaded, Image:Vridlo sprudel.PNG, has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion. Please look there to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you.

[edit] Still more images

Hi, please take a look at Image:Taaffes Castle Close Up Carlingford.jpg and Image:Taaffes Castle Carlingford.jpg and confirm that you want to license them under GFDL. You might want to go through your entire list of uploads [2] and check that they have the tags you want. Thanks! Stan 15:18, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Savitzky Golay

I've certainly made a lot of use of the tables in the paper and I'm pretty sure in my youth I even published a paper citing it! I was amazed (and rather pleased) to find a Wikipedia article about their paper. I see you started the article so thank you too. It would never have occurred to me to create such an article.

[edit] Image Tagging for Image:Karlovy_Vary.JPG

If you don't indicate the source and creator of the image on the image's description page, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided source information for them as well.
