[edit] From Meta:Help talk:Images and other uploaded files

[edit] Ambiguity of the First Paragraph

The first paragraph is quite confusing: The last sentence: "For uploading multimedia files that can be used in all Wikimedia Projects, you can use Wikimedia Commons." implies very strongly that the Wikimedia commons should only be used for multimedia files that are used in all wikimedia projects, and that there is another location for files which are intended only for use in wikipedia. However, there is no reference in the entire article to the location for wikipedia-only files! I'm still not convinced that one doesn't exist, because of the way that paragraph was constructed. So if there is, then please add a link to it in the first paragraph, and if there isn't, then please remove this ambiguity from the paragraph. Thank you. Uniqueuponhim

Special:Upload or "Upload a file" goes to whereever you are, on Wikipedia to Wikipedia, on Meta to Meta, etc. You can edit the master help file on Meta if you think that's unclear. -- Omniplex 15:35, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

Thank you very much, I have done so Uniqueuponhim 15:49, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Caution: Galleries interfere with references

For some unknown reason placing an image gallery between a number of references causes the references above the gallery not to be included in the list of references displayed by <references/>. Image tables do not interfere with the references. --Jbergquist 07:17, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] How to get at an uploaded file's date

I'm working with a company designing its own wiki, and we're facing a sticky point ...

We have many internal company documents, and want to get at a doc's latest update, i.e., when was Image:User dino.jpg last updated? When was the annual report last changed? And that data on interest rates ...

Is there a way to "grab" these data & display them? Or just grab them — we'll figure out how to display them.

I realize, this may seem from left field, but thought I'd toss it out there. Thanks for any ideas. You may reply here or on my talk page

[edit] Uploading images and getting them to appear in the article.

Hello,

We have the test of our article entered and edited. The next step we have is to upload some of the figures, graphs and data tables that go with the article. Can someone give me guidance as to how you label the images so they will be included in the appropriate space of the article?

Thanks CindyOvertoncindy 17:45, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image interfering with page format (the "Edit" link)

How does an editor get rid of the problem where putting a picture in disrupts the page's section "edit" links? I don't know if that makes sense, but take a look at The Forbidden Kingdom for example: you can see that there are no section edit buttons to click on because the image is in the way. But further down the page, all those section edits are there around the "References" section. How does one remedy this? I tried separating the image to its own paragraph but that did nothing. I also tried to not align the picture to the right. That also didn't work. Please help ~ GoldenGoose100 (talk) 20:57, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] ShouldBeJPG

I'd like to ask for users' opinions on the ShouldBeJPG tag. I didn't know it existed until today, when a user added it to a video game screenshot (Quake III Arena q3dm0.png) which I'd earlier uploaded as a PNG.

The purpose of the tag appears to be to encourage users to reupload or replace existing PNG and GIF images with JPEG equivalents in the interests of reducing file size. It asks: "If possible, please upload a JPEG version of this image." While JPEGs do indeed tend to be smaller than PNGs, I'm not sure how justified this tag is, particularly when it comes to screenshots (and also since it fails to mention any of JPEG's cons). A comparison I ran (here) between PNG and high-quality JPEG copies of the same image reveal noticeable noise and compression artifacts in the JPEG version.

Thanks for any comments! Huwmanbeing ☀★ 22:17, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Unhelpful

In the sections "Image at the right", "Image at the left", etc., am I nuts or is the whole thing broken? The images show a weird "Demo" content and the lorem ipsum text is in the article rather than the image caption. Is that what it's supposed to look like? I'd try to fix it but hey, I came here for help! :) Franamax (talk) 04:52, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
