License tagging for Image:TheHappyCouple.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:TheHappyCouple.jpg. Wikipedia gets hundreds of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

Links, etc
Hi, there, KV. How to differentiate internal links from external ones? Have a look at Manual of Style (links). Essentially, it comes down to this: Oh, and to automatically sign and datestamp your comments? That's easy. Just type a string of four tildes (or click on the four tildes thing that appears below the save page button). Like this: ~.
 * If you want to link to another article here on the encylopedia, put the article name between two sets of square brackets:
 * "He violated the constitution",
 * which comes out as:
 * He violated the constitution.
 * To link to an external webpage, as a footnote or reference, put the whole URL between one set of square brackes:
 * Prensa Libre is reporting that the genocide investigation is being blocked. "
 * which comes out as:
 * Prensa Libre is reporting that the genocide investigation is being blocked.

Pictures, etc
Hi, KV. As regards your first question: no. As regards this business with the photographs, what it boils down to is you can't just find a picture somewhere else on the internet and upload it here: we need to worry about whom it belongs to, where it's coming from, what its copyright status is, what we're allowed to do with it. Etc. Take a look at Image use policy and Image copyright tags and see how far you get before you decide to hell with it all, it's too damn complicated (basically, that's why I've never uploaded any pictures). In other words, I'm not the right person to be asking.

However, anything taken from a U.S. "gov" site is (I think) essentially in the public domain, so it's easier to argue a case for its use here. Thus, Weller's headshot from his Congressional page. (Uh. I thought that was where they got the "Walmart" picture, but no; they've copied it from Zury's web page.) Tell you what, though: that picture's a lot clearer than yours, and you can actually see who's on it. In illustrative quality terms (ignoring the copyright/sourcing labyrinth), it is better than the the wedding party one. And, in its own tacky strip-mall studio way, it's just as sinister. (Sinister? I'll give you sinister.) Has this helped at all? Bolivian Unicyclist 10:41, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
