[edit] Images
Hi,
thanks for your additions to the Halifax article. I was wondering if you could mark on the images you uploaded what their source is, and what licence they are uploaded under? If you want to release them under the GFDL licence that wikipedia operates under, simply mark them with this: two { followed by GFDL and then two }. THanks Peregrine981 04:16, Dec 10, 2004 (UTC)
- Hi. To write to other users on wikipedia, simply go their user page, and click on talk. For example my user page is User:Peregrine981. Then edit the page normally. In order to label your photos, go to the image's page, by clicking on it, and edit it. Put {{GFDL}} on the page if you want to release the image to be edited by others, as long as they attribute the source of the image, and don't use it for commercial purposes. (I don't know the details of the licence, you can easily look them up though.) You don't have to release your images under GFDL, I believe that you can retain you copyright, or release it under various different licences. You'll have to look that stuff up though. Most images are simply released under GFDL. I really like your pic of the MacDonald bridge! Thanks for your efforts at improving the Halifax article. Peregrine981 11:48, Dec 12, 2004 (UTC)
Sorry to keep harping on you, you're doing a great job on the Halifax articles. Thanks for tagging your images, that's very helpful. HOwever, I would ask if you could provide some details about Image:Peninsula.JPG , and where it came from. I presume it is not your own personal photo? Thank you very much!

[edit] Image copyright tags
Thanks for uploading Image:Needham.jpg. I notice it currently doesn't have an image copyright tag. Could you add one to let us know its copyright status? (You can use {{gfdl}} if you release it under the GFDL, or {{fairuse}} if you claim fair use, etc.) If you don't know what any of this means, just let me know where you got the images and I'll tag them for you. Thanks so much, Tagishsimon (talk) 00:07, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Also Image:Macdonald bridge.jpg. thanks. --Aqua 09:44, Mar 27, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:Hiap1.JPG
Thanks for uploading Image:Hiap1.JPG. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.
If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} 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 {{fairusein|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 uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Fritz Saalfeld (Talk) 13:32, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
