I'm working on an article about a deceased writer and I found a pdf of a letter he wrote years ago with his signature on it. I did a screen capture and created a PNG file with the signature. How does this relate to fair use? What must I include to acceptably upload the image? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by BeeDub65 (talk • contribs).

Well, there are these articles to help;

• Help:Images and other uploaded files
• Wikipedia:Fair use
• Wikipedia:Images

I would not think that the letter itself be copyrighted, so I guess you could upload it; just be sure to cite source, date and origin, description of content (what is it; what, when, where, why, who?), author/creator of the image or media file, and a Copyright tag, and perhaps other things.

Also, to cite 'Help:Images and other uploaded files', "Before uploading please ensure that you have rights to upload and redistribute the image(s) in question, and that they comply with any further licensing requirements of the Wikimedia Commons project and other criteria for inclusion."

I myself have yet to upload anything on Wikipedia, so that's pretty much the best I can do to help you without reading in depth. Thus, I'll leave the {{helpme}} template here. Actually, I'll remove it; you can always re-add it. Drop me a line about the outcomes, please. ;) Qwerty (talk) 08:45, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Alright, thanks for the heads-up. ;) Qwerty (talk) 05:46, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

License tagging for Image:ShelbyFooteSignature.PNG

Thanks for uploading Image:ShelbyFooteSignature.PNG. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

• Wikipedia:Image use policy
• Wikipedia:Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 01:12, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

copyright help

I uploaded an image for the first time Image:ShelbyFooteSignature.PNG and got a message because I didn't include a copyright tag. I need someone familiar with copyright tags to advise me which tag to use.

Here's how I created the image: 1. I found it in this document[1] . 2. I did a screen capture and cropped out the signature. 3. I saved it as a PNG and uploaded it.

I can't find an explicit copyright in the original document or on the site. How do I copyright tag the image I uploaded, considering I didn't go to law school.

First, did you have permission from the institution/author to upload the file? If so, it would be fair use. Otherwise, the signature is copyrighted by the person, and you need to contact the person who is in possession of the letter to ask for copyright. Real96 19:18, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia Campus Ambassadors wanted in Troy, Alabama

Hi! I'm leaving you this message because you're listed as a Wikipedian in Alabama. The Wikipedia Ambassador Program is currently looking for Campus Ambassadors to help with Wikipedia assignments at Troy University, which will be participating in the Public Policy Initiative for the Spring 2011 semester. The role of Campus Ambassadors will be to provide face-to-face training and support for students on Wikipedia-related skills (how to edit articles, how to add references, etc.). This includes doing in-class presentations, running workshops and labs, possibly holding office hours, and in general providing in-person mentorship for students.

Prior Wikipedia skills are not required for the role, as training will be provided for all Campus Ambassadors (although, of course, being an experienced editor is a plus).

I know Alabama is a big state, but if you happen to live near Troy and you are interested in being a Wikipedia Campus Ambassador, or know someone else from Troy who might be, please email me or leave a message on my talk page.--Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation (talk) 16:01, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

Please provide a reliable source for the death of Essie Mae Washington-Williams, or revert your edit. RNealK (talk) 23:25, 4 February 2013 (UTC)

The death page has a reliable source on it. BeeDub65 (talk) 23:29, 4 February 2013 (UTC)

That isn't sufficient, but another editor has provided a source. RNealK (talk) 23:31, 4 February 2013 (UTC)

Maybe you can rest easy now. Thanks. BeeDub65 (talk) 23:34, 4 February 2013 (UTC)
