It's sort of overwhelming - but I'm learning. In fact, I'm not sure if I should respond here or on your page. Thanks ArtProf (talk) 16:14, 4 March 2012 (UTC)ArtProf

Invitation
I tried to ask the following questions in the Teahouse, but the "Ask my Question" button wouldn't work. I'm on a MAC. Is that a problem?

Anyway, my questions are: I uploaded pictures to articles last week OK, but today, only the name of the image (File:BrugesKantcentrumBobbinLace.jpg) showed when I tried to put it on the Bobbin Lace page instead of the photo. I removed it, since it did not show the image.

Another problem is that File:SisalJacaltenango.jpg says its missing permission, even though I stated that I own the copyright. I emailed several days ago, as requested, but the missing permission message is still there. I uploaded it the same way as the other photos. I don't understand why the message is there.

Thanks in advance for your help!ArtProf (talk) 16:56, 8 March 2012 (UTC)ArtProf


 * Hallo ArtProf, nice work on your articles. I've just had a look on Wikimedia Commons and the Sisal file has attracted notice, most likely from a bot not a human, because you said the image was already published ... and even if that was by you, the simple "I own it" isn't enough in that situation. . So instead you have to email a full permission which I think means a Creative Commons license to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org - please go to the Sisal file page on commons and read up what is required, I think you have to fill in a form and then email it in. The file will otherwise be deleted on about the 11th March. Hope this helps Chiswick Chap (talk) 17:04, 8 March 2012 (UTC)

I already filled in that form and emailed it as soon as the message popped up. I uploaded other photos that were previously published the same way without any issues. Because of the issue, I didn't add it to any articles. I guess I'll let it be deleted.

Do you have any insight about the first problem with my BrugesKantcentrumBobbinLace.jpg not working? Thanks! ArtProf (talk) 17:18, 8 March 2012 (UTC)ArtProf


 * No idea, it seems fine, I have put File:BrugesKantcentrumBobbinLace.jpg in the gallery at Bobbin Lace. Maybe you mis-spelt it. Chiswick Chap (talk) 21:25, 8 March 2012 (UTC)

I cut and pasted the title, so it was spelled correctly. I just added the other picture again to the Bobbin Lace page, but it's not showing the photo in the gallery, just the title. This time I didn't delete it so that maybe you can see what I'm doing wrong. Thanks!


 * Yeah, found it despite Commons' attempt to make it unsearchable... you saved the filename on Commons as .JPG in upper case! Lower case is less confusing... ;-}    Chiswick Chap (talk) 08:01, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

I work on several different computers and one of them automatically adds the jpg - but in caps! I'll try to remember to change it to lower case from now on. Thanks so much for figuring out the problem!

Adinkra symbols‎
It's a great addition to have the stamps photo on the Adinkra symbols‎ article, serving to illustrate the process of production. Thank you. --Annielogue (talk) 22:04, 3 March 2012 (UTC)

I have lots of photos. Would you like me to add any photos like the ones on my Adinkra web page?

Thanks, ArtProf (talk) 16:18, 4 March 2012 (UTC)ArtPRof


 * Such a lot of great images... Perhaps one of the ones of Anthony printing the cloth? The big one maybe... We do have quite a lot of images in the article, but it would give us more choice. I guess the text could do with expansion too (I think I used your page to help in my editing by the way).--Annielogue (talk) 21:48, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

I added 2 photos. Thanks, ArtProf (talk) 23:30, 5 March 2012 (UTC)ArtProf


 * Thank you! --Annielogue (talk) 20:44, 6 March 2012 (UTC)


 * I've added Category:Adinkra to your three images in commons. That helps others to find them, and also the article links to the category. --Annielogue (talk) 21:04, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
