[edit] Image:World Distribution of Mid-Oceanic Ridges.gif

I have fixed the licensing tag for Image:World Distribution of Mid-Oceanic Ridges.gif. You had tagged it as Template:GFDL, however I could not find any verification that the image was licensed as such on their webpage. But as a work of the US Government (and more specifically the US Geological Survey), the image is in the public domain. Therefore I tagged it with the corresponding tag Template:PD-USGov-Interior-USGS. I found that tag from the list at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags/USA. In the future, please be more careful about how you tag images. If you need any help in that regard, I'd be glad to help you out. And if you have any questions about our image use policy, feel free to ask.-Andrew c ^[talk] 14:16, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

I'd say a very important tip would be to go to Wikipedia:Upload, and read carefully the options, and select the appropriate one. If the source is the federal government (like the ocean ridge image), you would click that link. If the image is something you created yourself, you can click the very first link on the upload page. After you have done that and you are at the corresponding upload form, make sure to read all the instructions. Then fill out all of the provided boxes and information. Give information on the file name, a description, info on the author and source, etc. And most importantly, choose a licensing tag from the provided drop down menu on the upload form page. If the image is not self created, you have to take very good care that the licensing tag is accurate with how the source licensed the image. The reason why your other two images were deleted was because they did not have any licensing tag which means you left that portion of the upload form blank. If you have specific questions, or have an image you need help with, I'd be glad to help you out, but for now, hopefully this generally overview is helpful to you. Good luck!-Andrew c ^[talk] 14:58, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
