Hello!

Thanks for uploading some pictures to Wikipedia. I wanted to make sure you were aware of some of the requirements and good practices for uploaded images.

• Pick an image name.

When uploading an image, pick a file name that is short, descriptive, and unique. Remember that many images may be uploaded about the same topic, and remember that names are case sensitive.

• Source the image.

On the

image description page

, explain where the image came from. If you created the image yourself, then say so. If it's from the web, give a URL. If it's a screenshot of a movie or game, or a scan from a book, give the title.

• Provide copyright and license information.

This part is a little bit trickier, but it's very important. The copyright of the image generally belongs to whomever created it.

If it's a photograph you took, or an image you created (modifying an image that already exists doesn't count) in software like

NoRightsReserved

}}, since there is some dispute as to whether one may grant items into the public domain.

If you didn't create the image, or the copyright somehow belongs to another party (like a screenshot, which you might "create", but the copyright belongs to the author of the movie or video game), then you need to find another

fair use

, but such a use should be justified on the image description page.

• Describe the image.

To another reader, the image may not be immediately understood. A caption in an article doesn't explain the image to a visitor who sees it on its image page. Put a brief explanation of what is in the image on the image description page, similar to what you might include in a caption on an article.

Thanks again for your contributions. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me at my talk page. kmccoy (talk) 20:26, 30 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not so concerned with censoring blood and gore, I'm just concerned with the copyright issues when you just take images from ogrish.com (or any other web site, gross or not :P) and repost them here. :) kmccoy (talk) 20:59, 30 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Even if Ogrish.com doesn't own the ones without the copyright symbol, someone had to create the image, and the person who created it automatically owns the copyright to it.

With regard to Image:Boatsglenarbor.jpg (which is very nice, by the way), I would suggest you take a look at Image:Uscapitolindaylight.jpg, which is a photo that I created. I like to dual-license images under the GFDL and cc-by-sa-2.0, because I like that it makes them easier to use in other projects. But that image gives you an idea of the information that is good to include for self-made photos. kmccoy (talk) 21:39, 30 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

All right, I am undeleting the page. However I would strongly suggest that you add something in the introduction to make it more clear that this is a fabrication from the Weekly World News and not an article on something real, as Bat Boy does. Thanks. --Ryan Delaney ^talk 16:43, 23 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment. Just a tip - in the future, there is a list of pages with votes for undeletion. You can list a page that's been deleted there if you think it was wrongly deleted. --Quintin3265 14:04, 24 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Am I correct in assuming that you created the photos Image:Boatsglenarbor.jpg and Image:Sunsetmanitou.jpg, and are licensing them under the terms of the GFDL? --Carnildo 03:47, 31 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading Image:Seaserpenttaxidermy.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the source and creator of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the source and creator of the image on the image's description page, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided source information for them as well.
