{{help me}}Thank you One of Many. I have spent some time trying to learn the secret arts of Wikiwrite and I am lost. I have written an article in Word with many references. I think I read in my Wikitravels that you can submit an article and a volunteer will load it if it is approved? Is this correct? Many thanks for your help.


{{help me}}Okay I have created the article in my user Sandbox and have posted it for approval. I realise that the name is still User/DreamCave/Sandbox (or something - can't check without leaving this window!) I want to call it Maggie Diaz. By the way, this is a living person, but I have followed all rules and they are aware that I am contributing article. How do I rename the page?

Orphaned non-free media (File:Paddle Shoes photo advertisement Australia 1960s.jpg)

edit

  Thanks for uploading File:Paddle Shoes photo advertisement Australia 1960s.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 will be useful. However, please note that media 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 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 05:00, 21 April 2013 (UTC)Reply

 
This help request has been answered. If you need more help, place a new {{help me}} request on this page followed by your questions, contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse.

Hope this is in the right place! I have uploaded several photos to Maggie Diaz page but I uploaded them as restricted use. I now find this is not necessary and I can offer then as free content as they are available on web anyway. Please advise how to remove photos and start again.

I seriously doubt those images are free content. That would require not just that they're "available on the web", but that the copyright holder explicitly released them under a free license such as the CC-BY-SA 3.0 License. If you have evidence that the images are indeed released under such a license, please add it to the relevant image pages; there's no need to re-upload the images.

Hello,
If they are the same photos, you can just change the licensing on the photo, and that will be it. But please know that being "available on web" is not the same thing as being freely licensed. Please change the licensing only if the photos are freely licensed.
Hope this helped,

Thank for your response. You are right Huon TheOriginalSoni, I didn't mean free use, I meant fair use. Apologies. I will attempt to change the licensing on the photos and add a fair use statement Dreamcave (talk) 03:16, 1 May 2013 (UTC)Reply
