[edit] License tagging for Image:Snorgles bug1.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Snorgles bug1.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:

Hello Snorgle. The picture you uploaded would be very useful to us here at WP, however for us to use it we need you to licence it for us. If you could choose an appropriate licence and add it it the image page that would be great. Let me know if you need assistance in doing this. Rockpocket 19:53, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
Hi, and thanks for your message. The licensing process here can be a bit complicated, so let me try and simplify it for you. Basically you should decide how you would like to license your image. Once you have decided you simply go to the image page (click here), click the "edit this page" tab at the top, then delete the text that says {{untagged|month=March|day=17|year=2007}} and replace it with the template for your choice of license. The templates are as follows:
  • {{GFDL-self}} - This license means people are required to attribute the work to you, and if they make changes or incorporate your work in their work, they are required to share their changes or work under the same license.
  • {{cc-by-sa-2.5|Attribution details}} - This permits free use, including commercial use; requires that you be attributed as the creator; and requires that any derivative creator or redistributor of your work use the same license. The desired attribution text should be included as a parameter in the template.
  • {{pd-self}} - In this one you relinquish all rights to the work and release it to the public domain.
If you are still not clear how to do it, just let me know which one of the licenses you would like to use and I can do it for you. Rockpocket 01:39, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
