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}}.  Be sure to mention that you created the image.  If you're using &#123;{PD}}, 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.

Thanks again for your contributions. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me at my talk page. -- getcrunk   juice   19:52, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

Oh, hi getcrunk! Do you know how to get to the "promotional photo" category of Upload file? I can't find it on there. Buzzed1 21:01, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I think they have taken it off. No clue why. You need to use the template manually, I guess. By the way, images with website/corporation names on them are generally discouraged unless the logo/name is cropped out or it is relevant to the image/subject for some reason. Also, please provide the exact image source for images you upload. It's also a good idea to include a Fair use rationale, to justify the use of unfree pics on the wiki. Thanks! --  getcrunk   juice   23:44, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for all the info! I like the photo that's on there now! HOT!!! Buzzed1 01:46, 17 June 2006 (UTC)


 * I was surfing around the site and found the relevant discussion regarding the promotional photo category! It's here. -- getcrunk    &#63;   23:14, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Adding the whole thing might be too much. I think that "In the United States, the song was played 184 times in its first day, on four different formats of radio, generating an audience impression of 4.358 million." is an accurate and trimmed-down description. -- getcrunk   juice   21:23, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

Whatever you can use. I just thought I'd mention since the song is beginning to chart. Buzzed1 21:43, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:StacyFerg.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:StacyFerg.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image can be used under a fair use license. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that 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.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Yamla 16:21, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

Free images
Please do not replace free images with copyrighted images. This is a copyright violation. Here, I'm talking about your edits to Stacy Ferguson. --Yamla 16:21, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:Jen1.JPG
Thanks for uploading Image:Jen1.JPG. 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 there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. 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 uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Yamla 16:25, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Jen1.JPG
Thanks for uploading Image:Jen1.JPG. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this:.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me, or ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Yamla 16:25, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

Image problems
Please refrain from uploading any more images until you have fixed the problems with all the images you have currently uploaded. Thanks. --Yamla 16:25, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

Sorry about that. But I only uploaded two. Buzzed1 09:26, 17 July 2006 (UTC)


 * You uploaded eight, four of which have already been deleted and four which are marked as problems. --Yamla 14:49, 17 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Eight? Where?  I had one for Jennifer Saunders, one for Fergie, and one for Janet, which was a complete mistake and was worked out.  Where do you get eight?


 * here, though I can't say for sure if that page works for non-admins. --Yamla 21:57, 17 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks for that. That's my fault.  I have to add more info for some of those images.  They are okay though.  I just didn't add the additional information.  I'll get on it.  Thanks again! Buzzed1 22:02, 17 July 2006 (UTC)


 * You could actually help me out with something here. The logo I uploaded, I added it's source, but as for the rationale, I've looked at a handful of other pages that use logos, and none of them give a full list of details.  Is there a page where you can direct me, that has a detailed list, when concerning logos?  I'm going to delete the others.  Two of them I working on to keep up.  Thanks again! Buzzed1 22:15, 17 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Well, you've made some nice progress, thanks! I can't think of any logos with the necessary detailed fair-use rationale but I would strongly suggest that just saying something like, "Fair-use on article named (whatever) as this is the logo for the company discussed in the article.  Not fair-use elsewhere."  You need less rationale to use a logo than to use most other copyrighted images when you are using the logo in an article about the company itself.  --Yamla 22:26, 17 July 2006 (UTC)


 * I'm still getting the hand of what's needed for each one. Buzzed1 22:34, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

Please do not remove Articles for deletion notices from articles or remove other people's comments in Articles for deletion pages. The notices and comments are needed to establish community consensus about the status of an article, and removing them is considered vandalism. If you oppose the deletion of an article, you may comment at the respective page instead. Thank you. Grand master  ka  06:50, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Hi again! Is the information you added here directly copied-and-pasted from the EMI website? Unless that website is licensed under the GFDL, the exact text cannot be used. &mdash; getcrunk   what?!  18:24, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

Ah, okay. I thought if I checked it as excepts, we could use it. It's not the full transcript, but it is the majority of it. Perhaps we can link to the full script, and use some of the information provided during the interview as a summary. Buzzed1 14:38, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

What are you talking about? Someone reverted back to a smaller version. The image was being used and IS being used once again. Buzzed1 06:15, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

That's okay, this one can be dropped. Buzzed1 06:19, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Blocked
You have been blocked for 24 hours. You know full well that copyrighted images need a detailed fair-use rationale and you are still uploading images without them. --Yamla 17:41, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

It's called a mistake. Buzzed1 06:14, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

I'm noticing you're not checking history. Some people drop images from pages. Sometimes images are reverted to other versions. That is why they are not in use. Buzzed1 06:17, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Image tagging for Image:Jodiefoster.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Jodiefoster.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.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:
 * Image use policy
 * Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. For assistance on the image use policy, see Media copyright questions. 12:34, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

Fair use
You forgot the mandatory detailed fair-use rationale for Image:Futuresex.jpg. --Yamla 14:30, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
