welcome     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 its from the web give a URL  If its 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 its very important  The copyright of the image generally belongs to whomever created it If its a photograph you took or an image you created modifying an image that already exists doesnt 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 GFDL or PDself  Be sure to mention that you created the image  If youre using PDself you may also want to use NoRightsReserved since there is some dispute as to whether one may grant items into the public domain If you didnt 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 noncommercial 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 doesnt 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    Some links to Wikipedia pages on this subject   Copyrights Copyright tags Fair use Image description page Public domain Images for deletion Possibly unfree images Copyright problems Uploading images  Thanks again for your contributions  If you have any questions please feel free to ask me at my talk page    Unspecified source for ImageHeatherjpg  Thanks for uploading ImageHeatherjpg I noticed that the files description page currently doesnt specify who created the content so the copyright status is unclear If you did not create this file yourself then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright If you obtained it from a website then a link to the website from which it was taken together with a restatement of that websites terms of use of its content is usually sufficient information However if the copyright holder is different from the websites publisher then their copyright should also be acknowledged  As well as adding the source please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesnt have one already If you createdtook the picture audio or video then the  tag can be used to release it under the GFDL If you believe the media meets the criteria at WikipediaFair use use a tag such as  or one of the other tags listed at WikipediaImage copyright tagsFair use See WikipediaImage 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 tagged as described on criteria for speedy deletion If the image is copyrighted under a nonfree license per WikipediaFair use then the image will be deleted  hours after  If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page Thank you    Image copyright problem with ImageHeatherjpg   Thank you for uploading ImageHeatherjpg However it currently is missing information on its copyright status Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously It may be deleted soon unless we can determine the license and the source of the image If you know this information then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page  If you have any questions please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page Thanks again for your cooperation
