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

Cyberknife
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Cyberknife, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Cyberknife is blatant advertising for a company, product, group, service or person that would require a substantial rewrite in order to become an encyclopedia article. To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Cyberknife, please affix the template to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Please note, this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate Cyberknife itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot. --Android Mouse Bot 2 03:21, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Hi. I have undeleted the Cyberknife article and would like to thank you for your contributions to it. Unfortunately, parts of the article might not conform to Wikipedia policy on neutrality, as addressed at talk:Cyberknife. Your comments on the issue are welcome. I would also like to urge you to disclose any potential conflict of interest, as an editor has expressed a concern over the potential involvement of Accuray or its employees. ˉˉanetode╦╩ 12:15, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

I would agree on some points made in the comments, though not others. 1) I have used Cyberknife, Brainlab, Varian, Elekta, Gamma Knife and Siemens before, and I am not currently or have never been employed by Accuray. Comparing these different systems is probably going to devolve into a Windows vs linux vs Mac debate. True, Cyberknife has an average computer planning program for planning treatments, and is limited to circular shaped radiation fields.

As far as "deliver equal treatments", clinically (2007), all the above systems are in use. Therefore I offer proof by contradiction, that no system has proven the others to be beneath the standard of care. Each has its limitations, and strengths. GammaKnife for instance cannot treat outside of the skull, Cyberknife is not practical for large tumours. I have not seen the Varian Trilogy to be incontrovertibly better than the Cyberknife for stereotactic work, although it is very good. The Varian imaging system does produce images of remarkable quality. The Tomotherapy unit (tomotherapy.com) or Dr T.R. Mackie is also an alternative to all of these.

2) I don't see any wikipedia articles on the Varian Trilogy system, or the Elekta Synergy. The GammaKnife does however have a wikipedia article. A full section on radio surgery would be a large undertaking, and would probably be collaborative, which is what wikipedia is all about, yes?

3)My personal experience with the Cyberknife is that, on the balance, it is a quite remarkable machine.

File:CyberKnifeSchematic2.gif and File:6DSkull.jpg licenses
Hello,

Can you confirm that the slide depicted in File:CyberKnifeSchematic2.gif was released into the public domain by its author (the Stanford neurosurgeon)?

I'd also like to make sure you are aware that a screenshot such as File:6DSkull.jpg can be marked as public domain only if licensed as such by the creators of the software. Screenshots of most copyrighted software are copyrighted, and may be included in Wikipedia only under fair use. Fair use screenshots should be tagged with and a fair use rationale provided.

Thanks, – Acdx (talk) 13:44, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

You are welcome to add comments to its entry at if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. -- Kelly hi! 18:35, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

Notification of automated file description generation
Your upload of File:6DSkull.jpg or contribution to its description is noted, and thanks (even if belatedly) for your contribution. In order to help make better use of the media, an attempt has been made by an automated process to identify and add certain information to the media's description page.

This notification is placed on your talk page because a bot has identified you either as the uploader of the file, or as a contributor to its metadata. It would be appreciated if you could carefully review the information the bot added. To opt out of these notifications, please follow the instructions here. Thanks!

File permission problem with File:CyberKnifeSchematic.gif
Thanks for uploading File:CyberKnifeSchematic.gif. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
 * make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
 * Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add OTRS pending to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as non-free fair use or one of the other tags listed at File copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in [ your upload log]. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F11 of the criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --Minorax &laquo;&brvbar;talk&brvbar;&raquo; 15:23, 17 April 2022 (UTC)
