[edit] Image Tagging Image:Buildering_on_doran_bridge.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Buildering_on_doran_bridge.jpg. The image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.
If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the image qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then 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 images, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. 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 unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, contact Carnildo.
[edit] Image: Buildering_on_Doran_Bridge.jpg
This photograph of me was deleted for lack of documentation, and I would like to upload it again documenting it properly. However, I find the instructions on the licensing pages to be absolutely impenetrable, and I really don't know where to start. If there were a "wizard" or decision tree to help decide which license and exactly what documentation to include, that would be very helpful.
My photograph has no commercial value, and I would like to release it for noncommercial use on Wikipedia, but protect it from commercial use elsewhere. Any help including examples would be appreciated.

- Wikipedia requires that any images uploaded permit commercial use. This is to allow both use by Wikipedia such as a CD-based distribution of the encyclopedia, and re-use by sites such as Answers.com. --Carnildo 07:20, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

There's so much to learn with the article standards and tag syntax, and I'm hoping to get more immediate guidance to keep me on the right track
- Looks like you're doing fine. The Trail braking I'm not familiar with. I almost never use article tags.
- I really like the Pulgas Water Temple article; creating original content is harder than it looks and not all editors can do it. Some people like to motivate themselves by writing new articles that are good enough for the main page Did You Know section. If you create a new article that you think is good enough you can suggest it at Template talk:Did you know. The article must be less than three days old. Keep up the good work! --Duk 08:15, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
