[edit] Helpme
Hi, I am still pretty new to the wikipedia. Just get some problem when trying to upload new images today. I have to use proxy due to my location. Astrowikizhang 09:59, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
- Only logged in users can upload images. I'm not sure what problem the proxy would cause, unless the proxy was blocked. Can you describe any error messages you are getting.--Commander Keane 10:07, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

- I'm sure I have logged in. No error msg is shown. Just sending request to wikipedia for very long time after I click 'upload' button. Astrowikizhang 10:36, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

- Maybe it's something to do with the file. What is the file type (eg .jpg or .gif etc), how big is the file, what is the exact file name?--Commander Keane 10:44, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

- It is a common JPG of 126K named Stsobt.jpg. Just renamed it to Stsobtvcl.jpg and uploaded OK. And I cannot visit Wikipedia for 24 hours until minutes ago. So maybe the Greate Fire Wall (GFW) decided to put it offline for some time. Thanks for your help.--Astrowikizhang 06:50, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

The Great Fire Wall seems totally blocks the Tor access to wikipedia this month, and I have to visit the site via: https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/ The problem is that I cannot view image thumbnail for those images I uploaded via secure access, e.g. 
. If thumbnail is used, it will appear as
. All images uploaded ealier works fine. I'd like to know what could be the cause and how to solve this problem. Thanks. Astrowikizhang 08:49, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
- Hey Astrowikizhang, the images are displaying okay for me. (From outside China). This means that the image has been uploaded properly; could you try refreshing your browser cache? (Press Ctrl-F5 in Internet Explorer, or Ctrl-Shift-R in Firefox). Remember to do this on the page on which your images appear. If this doesn't work, please feel free to contact us again.

- Thanks for your help. The image is displayed OK now. I think refreshing the page is the solution. Astrowikizhang 09:04, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
