[edit] Abboud

Greetings Nadav, I hate to bother you with this but whenever you have time could you translate the Abboud article from Hebrew to English. I've noticed the Hebrew article is much richer in text, but I have no knowledge of the Hebrew script. I would really appreciate you doing this favor for me and of course wikipedia. Cheers! --Al Ameer son 19:43, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for translating the article, I almost forgot I asked you. Thanks so much and thankfully we didn't miss the opportunity. Cheers! --Al Ameer son (talk) 15:19, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] How do I get a image under copyright

It is a picture a character needed to understand the text. how can i tell if it is under copyright and if it is how can i use that picture in wikipedia, do i need a liscence, —Preceding unsigned comment added by Frank polizzi (talk • contribs) 18:03, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

You should assume all images you find are not free ("copyrighted") unless it's specifically written that they are in the public domain or are protected by the GFDL or a similar free license. I think adding a picture to show what a character looks like is ok. Pick the screenshot option on the upload page. From the Licensing drop-down box, select "Computer game or video game screenshot." If you need further help with uploading, you can ask me a follow up question, or else you can check the help page or the image use policy. Best, nadav (talk) 18:23, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] do i need a template

what is a template and how do i get one. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.87.157.216 (talk) 18:37, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Remember to log in when you want to edit. I assume this is user:Frank polizzi? A template on wikipedia (in this case) is a pre-written message that you can just plug in. This helps you save time in coming up with a good message. Templates can also do some other tasks, but I won't get into that (Help:Template has more info). If you are talking about the license info templates, you can find the entire list of them at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags. To use one, edit the image page of an image you uploaded (It will be something like Image:Cow.jpg) and add the code for the template (it will be something in curly brackets, like {{Non-free screenshot}}. But instead of all this, you can just select the appropriate licensing from the drop-down box on the image upload form; the correct license template will automatically be added to the image page.
Templates can be used in other places besides image pages. See Wikipedia:Template messages for a listing of templates. nadav (talk) 18:53, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Not working

I tried get editing a picture to a article and it said do not upload images on web sites and image search engines. why won't it let me get the picture.Frank polizzi (talk) 18:59, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Please be more specific about what exactly is happening. All I can do is tell you the steps that I expect would work:
  1. Click on "Upload file" in the navigation pane on the left side of the wikipedia page.
  2. Click on the link in the item "It is a screenshot taken of a movie, TV program, computer game, web site, computer program, music video, or other such source"
  3. Ignore everything you see now. Scroll down until you see the form.
  4. Click the "Browse..." button and find on your hard drive the picture you wish to upload
  5. Type in a useful, concise name for the picture in the "Destination filename" field
  6. In the summary field, write exactly where you found the image (with the Internet address). Include the name of the company that made the video game, a description of the picture, and a fair use rationale (look at examples to get a sense of what a good rationale looks lie. E.g. at Image:Mario.png, Image:6.5Supergirls.jpg, Image:Action Comics -1 June 1938.jpg)
  7. From the licensing drop-down list, select "Computer game or video game screenshot"
  8. Click upload file.

That should work. Tell me if it doesn't, but be extremely specific about what went wrong. nadav (talk) 19:16, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] OK so far

Before i uploaded the image, it said a image by the the same name was recently deleted. where do i get my uploaded picture. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Frank polizzi (talk • contribs) 19:32, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

I see you successfully added Image:Chain chomp.jpg. Now you just need to add a fair use rationale, and then you can insert the image into an article. To add the rationale, you have to edit the image page (Image:Chain chomp.jpg). Images without rationales are deleted soon after they are uploaded. Useful tip: to see all the images you've uploaded, look at your upload log: [1] (you can get to it by clicking "Logs" from the toolbox at the left. The "Logs" link will appear whenever you are viewing a user page) nadav (talk) 19:39, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] How do I add a rationale.

How do you add one of those rationale thing to your image. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Frank polizzi (talk • contribs) 19:43, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

  1. On the image page Image:Chain chomp.jpg, click the "edit this page" tab at the top.
  2. After the "Summary" section, add the following text:
== Fair use rationale for ARTICLE NAME article==
# It is low resolution.
# It does not limit the copyright owners rights to sell the game in any way.
# Depicts subject discussed in article.
# The photo is only being used for informational purposes.

but change ARTICLE NAME to the article in which you want to use the image. Also please feel free to add more details about how you want to use the picture and why it's ok. Base it on example images I gave above. Afterwards, save the page and you're done. nadav (talk) 19:53, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

do i have to wait to use the picture? If so please tell me.Frank polizzi (talk) 20:21, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

No, you shouldn't wait. In fact, unused pictures of this type get deleted if they are not used in an article. nadav (talk) 20:30, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Would you take a look?

An image used in the article on the first Bangladeshi pornstar Jazmin, Image:WorshipThisBitch3.jpg, the cover of the DVD that made her the selling point, a first for a Bangladeshi, is up for deletion here.

[edit] gilo

Hi Nadav, I wonder if you could have a look at the Gilo article, which has been turned into a battleground by some agenda pusher. Thanks.--Gilabrand (talk) 06:20, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
