image names
I noticed that you uploaded Image:P1010011.JPG and Image:P1010009.JPG. Instead of using the default names that your have on your computer, it would have been better it you had named them someing more descriptive like "SS United States 2005 port side.jpg" and "SS United States 2005 starboard side.jpg". This way, it will be a lot easier to know what a given image contains.

On the upload page, after you select your source filename, you can change the destination file to something else. Wikipedia will change spaces in your name to underscores like "SS_United_States_2005_port_side.jpg", but when you refer to them on a page your would use  .

If you have any further questions, please post to my talk page. Thanks ! --rogerd 17:12, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:Tomich.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Tomich.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use GFDL-self to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then 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 media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. 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 unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BRossow 21:34, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
