Special Category for British Motorcycles edit

As part of the Motorcycling WikProject I am working though all the missing articles and stubs for British Bikes. To make things easier to sort out there is a special Category:British motorcycles Please add to any British motorcycle pages you find or create. It will also help to keep things organised if you use the Template:Infobox Motorcycle or add it where it is missing. I've linked the Category to the Commons Motorcycles of Britain so you could help with matching pics to articles or adding the missing images to the Commons.

Articles should be categorized as per Wikipedia:Categorization. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 20:18, 25 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

These photos can't be uploaded because they are all copyrighted. See Wikipedia:Upload/Flickr. If you change the license to to CC-BY or CC-BY-SA then you can upload them here, or better yet, upload to Commons. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 16:50, 6 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

Sorry about that- must be a default setting on flickr. All copyright now removed 213.123.135.235 (talk) 13:25, 7 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

The brochure will be copyright, regardless of what licence you have applied on Flickr, so you will not be able to upload that to Wikimedia Commons. You could upload it to Wikipedia under a fair use rationale, but at 640px I don't see what value it adds. As for the other pics - it really would be good if they could be viewed at higher than 640px. We've had people in the past such as the infamous Jeff Dean and his million aliases (other wikiproject motorcycling people will know who I mean) who only ever uploaded tiny images - sometimes 640px, but often just 400px. Ultimately those photos are not valued and so are rarely used in articles. Any chance you could upload higher resolution versions- either original size or at least 1024px? --Biker Biker (talk) 13:59, 7 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

sorry about the sizes-i'll see what i can do 213.123.135.235 (talk) 21:15, 7 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

My TR65T photo at the London Motorcycle Museum is availble as 1024 x 768 213.123.135.235 (talk) 21:21, 7 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

Your best bet is to create an account at Commons and upload them directly there. Putting them on Flickr first is just a lot of extra work for you. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 22:01, 7 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

Thanks-for future photos, I'll do that if I can master it quickly. At moment, am using the 'Bryan~' facility which I'm happy with. 213.123.135.235 (talk) 08:10, 8 June 2011 (UTC)Reply
