Watts image
Hey InfoKlepto. I saw your commented out note in the draft article on Watts. If you need help with the image, I'd be glad to lend a hand. I can walk you through, it, or your could email the image and info on it (such as the source [where you got it from], date, author if know, where first published, etc.) and I can upload it for you. If the image is Canadian in origin, it should be in the public domain if taken before January 1, 1949; If U.S. in origin it should be in the public domain if published before 1923 (since the image is from 1915 since it's from the same day as the race, it should be good to go). You can ring me up on my talk page, or respond to me here, and inform me using a template such as tping Cheers.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 01:05, 28 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Thank you again Fuhghettaboutit. I really appreciate your help, and information. Who knows if I am even doing this ping thing correctly, let alone the image upload. I would welcome the opportunity to have you walk me through it if possible, or direct me to an easy version of the directions. I find the Wikipedia written one a little dense. I have all of information about the image ready to go. Thank you! InfoKlepto (talk) 05:20, 6 December 2013 (UTC)
 * You used the tping template perfectly, and thus I was informed about your post:-) I am going to go through this step-by-step. Go to the Wikimedia Commons, our sister project. Once signed up and logged in:


 * 1) Click on "upload file" on the left hand side of the page under participate;
 * 2) Click on "Back to the old form" at the top of the page just below the headline "Upload Wizard";
 * 3) Click on the option for "It is from somewhere else"
 * 4) Next to "Source filename:", click on the button marked ; this will open up a dialogue box listing files on your computer;
 * 5) Through the dialogue box, navigate to the name of the file on your computer you wish to upload and double click it;
 * 6) Under Destination filename, choose a descriptive name in plain English, e.g.,  (it will automatically start with the name of the file on your computer, that name may or may not already be good enough);
 * 7) For "Original source:", state the source of the photograph, e.g., ";
 * 8) Under author, fill in the author if known (i.e., the photographer or Associated Press, etc.; put in "Unknown" if that's the correct answer;
 * 9) Fill in the date field (here this would have to be the exact date he won the race right?);
 * 10) For description fill in anything appropriate that provides more info than just provided by the title (you can be voluble if you'd like);
 * 11) In the dropdown box for licensing, (and this take's a bit of explanation) you may not be able to choose the exact right license because there are numerous licenses, but they only provide a short list; you will be going back after the upload to fix this if necessary, but you must choose some license from the list or it won't let you upload, just choose "First published in the United States before 1923";
 * 12) Under Categories, see if you can find some good candidates, so that your picture can be better found and classified. If you can't find anything, just skip it;
 * 13) Tick the box for "watch this file" and then click . Voilà.
 * 14) If the file is Canadian, click edit at the top of the image page that should now be live, scroll down to where the licenses template is (it'll look something like: ), replace it with , click save.
 * Now, go to the section of the article here where you want to use a file you've uploaded and add  to the area of the article where you want the image to appear – replacing   with the actual file name of the image, and   with a short description of the image. See the picture tutorial for more information. Best regards--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 06:15, 6 December 2013 (UTC)
 * THANK YOU! I am elated. Your tutorial was exactly the guidance I needed. I am a complete robot, and prefer to follow instructions when possible. Will have to learn to work for myself going forward. Thank you again. Will try to figure out how to license an image that belongs to me personally next. Also, my article was published, which is my first. I'm pretty stoked about something so little.InfoKlepto (talk) 08:46, 30 December 2013 (UTC)
