Pictures edit

Hi

I am a new user. How do I include pages on my edits? I edited a page related to my ancestral pace. I would like to include a couple of pictures of this historcal place that I had taken during a family vacation. How do I do that?

Pl help.

Thanks. Raji

Go to the page that you want to upload a picture to, copy its address so that you it handy to go back to, and then hit the "upload file" link on the left hand tool bar - follow the instructions, making sure you give a valid source and copyright licence. Then place that file in the article at an appropriate place - isuing something like:

[[Image:MyPicture|right|thumb|200px|Your comment on the picture]] where the first bit is the name of the picture uploaded. Brookie :) - a will o' the wisp ! And don't forget to sign your posts with ~~~~ or use the signature icon in the edit box.(Whisper...) 09:19, 15 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Duplicate images uploaded edit

Thanks for uploading Image:The Chandrawat Palace.jpg. A machine-controlled robot account noticed that you also uploaded the same image under the name Image:Diwan Saheb Ka Mahal Rampura - 1993.jpg. The copy called Image:Diwan Saheb Ka Mahal Rampura - 1993.jpg has been marked for speedy deletion since it is redundant. If this sounds okay to you, there is no need for you to take any action.

This is an automated message- you have not upset or annoyed anyone, and you do not need to respond. In the future, you may save yourself some confusion if you supply a meaningful file name and refer to 'my contributions' to remind yourself exactly which name you chose (file names are case sensitive, including the extension) so that you won't lose track of your uploads. For tips on good file naming, see Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions about this notice, or feel that the deletion is inappropriate, please contact User:Staecker, who operates the robot account. Staeckerbot 01:02, 16 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

License tagging for Image:Bada Talab Rampura - 1993.jpg edit

Thanks for uploading Image:Bada Talab Rampura - 1993.jpg. 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:

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. 01:06, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:The_Chandrawat_Palace.jpg edit

Thanks for uploading Image:The_Chandrawat_Palace.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't 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 website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self-no-disclaimers}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia: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 tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 01:07, 16 May 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --Mschel 01:07, 16 May 2007 (UTC)Reply
