Response

Thanks for responding me on the discussion page of Age of Empires III: The War Chiefs.

Have you got any ideas for improving any AoE article?

Uploading

Hello Bluepaladin! I saw your question on the Warchief talk page about how you upload an image. In order to upload, just click on "Upload file" in the toolbox (below the searchbar). Another way to do it is clicking "Alt-U" on your keyboard. If you have any other questions, just ask me on my talk page. Good luck! | AndonicO ^{Talk | Sign Here} 23:20, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Once you upload it, you will go to the new image page. As an example, I'll use this image. Copy the name, in this case "Image:Example.png", and add "[[Image:Example.png|thumb|250px|(caption)]]" to the section you want the picture to be in. This would produce a large version of that image. | AndonicO ^{Talk | Sign Here} 23:53, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Ok, just that you wrote "800px", making the picture way too big; 250 is a good size for an article. | AndonicO ^{Talk | Sign Here} 23:59, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Yes, you're right, it is too small. 300 looks good, and it's the largest size I've seen on any article; if someone wants to take a closer look, they just click on the picture. | AndonicO ^{Talk | Sign Here} 00:04, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

No, that's way too large. Look at the Age of Empires III article; the screenshot there is 300. If you wanted to see it up close, you click it, and click again once you're in the picture's page (on the picture, or where it says "download high res version). | AndonicO ^{Talk | Sign Here} 00:15, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

You omitted the bold part. [[Image:Example.png|thumb|300px|(caption)]]. It also puts it off to the side. | AndonicO ^{Talk | Sign Here} 00:24, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Very good, just that you wrote ".png" (like in the example I gave you) instead of ".jpg", as it says on the page of the picture. I lowered the size a bit, because it was too imposing. After checking the screenshots for the original game, I put on the license for screenshots. Now that you know how to do it, I hope you have a good time adding pictures. Also, I'd like to invite you to a WikiProject I recently proposed (and created). It's for fans of Strategy games of all kinds; if you'd like to help, here's the link: Wikipedia:WikiProject Strategy Games. | AndonicO ^{Talk | Sign Here} 00:38, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

That's alright, you don't have too. And those petards, wow I love blowing things up. :-) Only, I think you should add a third, with the flarelike things coming down. | AndonicO ^{Talk | Sign Here} 00:49, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (Image:AOEPetards2.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:AOEPetards2.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 21:07, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Battle of Bunker Hill.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Battle of Bunker Hill.jpg. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

• That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
• That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.
