Advice on uploading images
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 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 Photoshop or GIMP, then you own the copyright. To upload it to Wikipedia, you must agree to license it under the GFDL (which allows anyone to use it, but requires that they give credit to the original author and requires that any further edit to the image be licensed under the GFDL as well) or release it into the public domain (which allows anyone to use it for any purpose without restriction.)  Do this by placing an appropriate tag on the image description page, like &#123;{GFDL}} or &#123;{PD-self}}.  Be sure to mention that you created the image.  If you're using &#123;{PD-self}}, you may also want to use &#123;{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 tag that describes the copyright status of the image. Images used on Wikipedia need to be free for our use and the use of sites which reproduce our content.  This means that images cannot have a restriction such as "only for use by Wikipedia", or "for non-commercial use only", or "for educational use".  Images without a free license may be usable in certain articles under 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.

Unspecified source for Image:Piratebay-jan-11-2007-sealand.gif
Thanks for uploading Image:Piratebay-jan-11-2007-sealand.gif. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then you need to specify who owns the copyright, please. If you got it from a website, then a link to the website where it was taken from with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Fair use, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following [ this link]. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 05:51, 12 January 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. feydey 05:51, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Surprise
Please explain why you think that 'de' is the prefix of the Dutch Wikipedia. Did you see an interwiki link in Ü-Eier to the corresponding article in the English Wikipedia? Please explain therefore why you think we need a separate article entitled Uberraschungsei. -- RHaworth 05:32, 28 April 2007 (UTC) In Ü-Eier, look for a box headed "Andere Sprachen" (other languages). The word "English" is a link. Follow it.
 * Hello, I'm responding to your message: Unfortunately I didn't see an interwiki link in de:Ü-Eier to the corresponding article in the English Wikipedia, so I'm glad that you got rid of my translated version and instead redirected Uberraschungsei to the English article.  One other thing: Sorry, I didn't realize that 'de' is the prefix of the German Wikipedia.  I speak English. (in the USA)  I thought that it was the Dutch one. Thanks   Keep up the good work! :-) —The preceding comment was added by Alex rosenberg35 (talk • contribs) 04:24, 29 April 2007 (UTC).

I imagine Google gave you the translation without you needing to know what language the original was in. But note the message at the top: "This page was automatically translated from German". But thanks for not taking my message amiss, I did actually think I had been getting a bit close to biting the newbies. -- RHaworth 08:43, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

ifd tags
Please do not remove deletion tags from items being considered for deletion, as you did to Image:NBC logo.svg. The tags must remain while the deletion discussion is in progress. Thank you. -N 07:12, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I didn't realize that the image was still being considered for deletion.

Image copyright problem with Image:URJ Logo.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:URJ Logo.jpg. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check


 * That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
 * That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Orphaned non-free image File:Boiler Room DVD Cover.jpg
 Thanks for uploading File:Boiler Room DVD Cover.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

PLEASE NOTE:


 * I am a bot, and will therefore will not be able to answer your questions.


 * I will remove the request for deletion if the file is used in an article once again.


 * If you receive this notice after the image is deleted, and you want to restore the image, click here to file an un-delete request.


 * To opt out of these bot messages, add  to your talk page.


 * If you believe the bot has made an error, please turn it off here and leave a message on my owner's talk page.

Thank you. DASHBot (talk) 20:02, 14 March 2010 (UTC)

Parallels Desktop for Mac
Hi, I don't know for sure what the original editor's intent was, but "Sports" wasn't necessarily a typo on Parallels Desktop for Mac. See meaning 3 of Sport (Verb) in Wiktionary which is "to wear (something) with pride". Your change wasn't wrong, but it created the unfortunate phrase "supports full 64-bit support". Kiore (talk) 06:08, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the feedback! I had assumed that was just some sort of typo.  Somehow I failed to realize the redundant phrasing that resulted from my change. Thanks for picking up on that. --Alex Rosenberg (talk) 21:55, 20 November 2010 (UTC)
 * You're welcome. I had to look twice to work out what I was seeing myself. Kiore (talk) 22:57, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Piratebay-jan-11-2007-sealand.gif
Thanks for uploading File:Piratebay-jan-11-2007-sealand.gif. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
 * make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
 * Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to , stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add OTRS pending to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to .

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at File copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in [ your upload log]. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Kelly hi! 17:55, 27 December 2010 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content without verifying it by citing reliable sources, as you did to Metro (design language). Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. GSK ● talk ● evidence 20:28, 8 October 2012 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:Usdan logo.svg)
Thanks for uploading File:Usdan logo.svg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:02, 13 December 2012 (UTC)

Usdan logo.svg
Hi,

Thanks so much for contributing to Usdan Center's page! :) Unfortunately, the logo that you restored was originally removed because it is out of date. The logo that is up now is the current logo used on our letterhead and other official documents.

Your edit to Cease and desist
Alex, thanks for your edit to Cease and desist. However, with all due respect, I cannot agree. Information that is not supported by any reference is useless, because not verifiable. The information can be removed and should only be restored with proper references. Verifiability is a core content policy. See WP:UNSOURCED. The burden of evidence lies with the editor who adds or restores material. In contrast, WP:POTENTIAL is an essay. Essays are not Wikipedia policies or guidelines. --Edcolins (talk) 20:36, 11 September 2013 (UTC)
