[edit] License tagging for Image:P1000829.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:P1000829.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:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 23:09, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Amalie Skram

I see you're relatively new. Welcome!

Great contribution. Thanks for this image. I put it into the Amalie Skram article and it really is a plus.

To see how you can put your photographs into an article, just add new text in the edit mode that looks like: [[Image:P1000829.JPG|thumb|240px|right|Statue of Amalie Skram in Bergen]]

  • Image:P1000829.JPG tells the software the picure identification
  • thumb tells the software you want to use the thumbnail format (allows captions and size)
  • 240px tells the software that you want it 240 pixels wide (you can vary the size by varying the number)
  • right tells the software where to put it on the page (you cna do left, center or let it decide)

As you get more familiar you'll find it is a good idea to load photos to Wikipedia Commons. That way the picture can be used on any Wikipedia (Norwegian, Nynorsk, Danish, Swedish, German, French....) without having to reupload it. When you go the the upload page there is a link to the Commons (link). Since you're probably interested in adding this photograph to the German site, you can see the advantage.

You are most welcome—folks like you who take the trouble to seriously contribute to Wikipedia turn out to be the best kind of people. They (you) should always be encouraged.
Any more good pictures you can share (Norway, Germany or anywhere)?
