Images
Hello!

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. feydey 13:18, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

Book covers
Please reduce the resolution of the images, the fair use license says: "It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of book covers ... qualifies as fair use". Otherwise they are not acceptable. Thank You. feydey 13:18, 23 May 2006 (UTC)


 * This page WikiProject_Comics/Templates (by WikiProject_Comics) has information. Keeping the image between 25 - 80 kb and at 250px sounds good to me. Best, feydey 18:15, 23 May 2006 (UTC)


 * BTW Image:Tintin Cover - The Red Sea Sharks.JPG size is perfect. Good work. feydey 18:18, 23 May 2006 (UTC)


 * You can delete the high resolution image Image:Tintin Cover - The Red Sea Sharks.jpg (that's .jpg) and others, by adding   to the image's page You uploaded and want to delete. NB. Remember to edit the articles then too (.jpg --> .JPG). feydey 18:23, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

Re: Tintin pages
WikiProject Comics looks like the place for help, use the talk page or You could use Village pump (miscellaneous) by putting a note there. Or You could do so in the The_Adventures_of_Tintin talk page to ask for help. But remember things happen slowly in Wikipedia, do not hope that 10 editors jump to this immediately, probably one interested person will contact You in a week or so. But chances are better if You put up some notices. Luck, feydey 11:26, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

P.S. In time You could propose (when You get experience) a Tintin WikiProject (see WikiProject) to get support. feydey 11:26, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

Tintin
Hi,

From what I can gather, you want to start a Wikiproject. First read the guidelines on the page and be sure that this is what you want to do. Once decided, you can add the request at the list of proposed projects. If you are unable to find enough interested people, you can work with WikiProject Comics and still achieve what you want to do. Best of luck. If you need any more assistance, do contact me. -Ambuj Saxena (talk) 12:26, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

Hello, haven't seen you for a while. Any plans for reviving the Tintin stuff ? Tintin (talk) 13:12, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

The Adventures of Tintin
The Adventures of Tintin is up for a featured article review. Detailed concerns may be found here. Please leave your comments and help us address and maintain this article's featured quality. Sandy 22:18, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:RickRubin.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:RickRubin.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 a justification explaining 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. Abu Badali 16:38, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

Regarding Tintin books
Hi, thanks for offering to help with the change of the infoboxes (I indeed still need to do the last 7 or so). As for links: for ISBNs, I use Amazon (.com for English versions, .fr for French versions). The original publication dates, I get from the French comics catalogue (the BDM), which isn't available online, but I check it usually with sites like Tintinologist or Bdoubliées. I'll try to get to it today, before The Adventures of Tintin hits the main page. Fram 06:09, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
 * A source for the translations (publishers, years, names of translators) is, a page by a journalist of The Comics Journal. I have now changed the last few remaining infoboxes, but I still need to add publication hiostory and ISBNs. At least the look of all the pages is now again identical...Fram 09:52, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Both these IPs are shared Proxy Server IPs of IIT Kharagpur
Note to the admins/unblocker: The IP addresses 203.110.243.21 as well as 203.110.246.230 are Proxy adresses of IIT Kharagpur. Often one of them experiences a downtime and the other has to be used. Hence please make an arangement so that the user is blocked instead of the IP address.


 * Sorry, but it's beyond our control if vandals at your university keep on triggering the autoblocker. You need to talk to your university's IT department and ask that they discipline the vandals or implement XFF on their proxies so MediaWiki can differentiate each editor by their respective IP addresses rather than the university proxy. --  Netsnipe  ►  13:03, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:WWB-boyzone.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:WWB-boyzone.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages 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 non-free media lacking such an explanation will 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. Bigr Tex  16:34, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Matchbox 20 - Push.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Matchbox 20 - Push.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 21:21, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Amon amarth oden.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Amon amarth oden.jpg. You've indicated that the image meets Wikipedia's criteria for non-free content, but there is no explanation of why it meets those criteria. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. If you have any questions, please post them at Media copyright questions.

Thank you for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 02:19, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:POD-WarriorsEP2.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:POD-WarriorsEP2.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 03:17, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

TfD nomination of Template:Infobox Book series
Template:Infobox Book series has been nominated for deletion. You are invited to comment on the discussion at the template's entry on the Templates for Deletion page. Thank you. -- Collectonian  (talk · contribs) 23:58, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Where We Belong
An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Where We Belong. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Articles for deletion/Where We Belong. Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes ( ~ ).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 09:17, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of File:NoBookCoverImage.jpg


The file File:NoBookCoverImage.jpg has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Unused and unlikely to be used since we don't use placeholder images in infoboxes."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 23:16, 31 July 2019 (UTC)
