[edit] Uploading images
Hi, WP:UPIMAGE has some info on uploading images, and it's pretty simple once you get used to it. I'd upload a new photo for you, but there's a bit of a problem with uploading images "just for Wikipedia." If you tag the image as such, it will be a candidate for deletion according to the WP:IUP policy.
There are two solutions:
- You can upload a photo under the GFDL or a Creative Commons license, providing there are no copyright problems with the photo.
- If that's not possible, you can upload a low-res copyrighted image with a "fair use" tag, labelling it as an unfree image that's only used on certain pages.
I think Image:Vanrossum.jpg is currently being used under the second solution. I think you can upload a "Wikipedia only" image under "fair use," but I'm not totally sure. I'll let you know what I find out.
If you have any questions, I'll be glad to help. Cheers, --Kjoonlee 03:43, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
- I asked at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions#"For Wikipedia only" and fair use. --Kjoonlee 04:08, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

- Hi, from reading the answers at WP:MCQ and Wikipedia:Fair use, it looks like a GFDL/CC image would be the way to go. Could you get the copyright assigned to yourself so that you could upload it, by any chance? That would be very nice. Thank you. --Kjoonlee 15:10, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
