 * Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
 * Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
 * Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
 * Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
 * No edit warring or sock puppetry.
 * If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to [ do so].
 * Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
 * Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome! —C.Fred (talk) 21:13, 27 October 2015 (UTC)

Image concerns
I see you have added three images to the Bo Koster article. You have claimed all three as your own work; however, you have added captions indicating three different photographers.

Can you please explain how the work of three different photographers is your own? If there's no explanation, I'll have to report the images for deletion as likely copyright violations. —C.Fred (talk) 21:12, 27 October 2015 (UTC)

Since you haven't replied, I've tagged the three images for speedy deletion as copyright violations for not being your own work. —C.Fred (talk) 03:15, 28 October 2015 (UTC)

Is this the right way to reply? I'm so new here. Several friends (those credited with copyright) supplied their photos for inclusion on the Bo Koster page. How do I upload these correctly so that they have the correct copyright attributions?Whiskeyknits (talk) 12:20, 28 October 2015 (UTC)

Also one of the photographers is me, Erica Moore is me--whiskeyknits.Whiskeyknits (talk) 12:20, 28 October 2015 (UTC)

Spoke with those friends. They say they can sign release if necessary. How do I get the pics back up without violation? Whiskeyknits (talk) 14:00, 28 October 2015 (UTC)


 * The one that is yours, you can re-upload. The others...you can't claim as your own work, and the respective photographers may need to email Commons to verify that (1) the images are theirs and (2) they've placed them under a free license.

Okay. Thanks. Do they give the image name when they email them? Or can they upload them themselves and add them to the page to make it quicker? I have more Bo Koster pics that are mine and I guess I'll just add those now. Thanks! Again, sorry for the confusion! I'm new around these parts! Whiskeyknits (talk) 17:14, 28 October 2015 (UTC)


 * One other note: the image page includes the photo credits, so we don't name the photographer in the captions of the article. —C.Fred (talk) 16:48, 28 October 2015 (UTC)

I am now unable to upload my picture. tells me there this content appeared on the site but was deleted. So I guess I need to find other pics of mine that I haven't posted?Whiskeyknits (talk) 17:23, 28 October 2015 (UTC)


 * You'll need to ask that question to somebody at Commons. There are two sites involved: the English Wikipedia is where the article is located, and Wikimedia Commons hosts images under free licenses that are used on all languages' articles. (So, the same image from Commons could be used in the English-language version of the article, the French version, the Spanish, etc.) I haven't uploaded to Commons extensively enought o know how they check for re-uploads. —C.Fred (talk) 19:46, 28 October 2015 (UTC)
