Hello Alex, I am an online ambassador for your class. This means I will help you out with work and life in Wikipedia. You can contact me on my talk page or through email Special:EmailUser/Graeme Bartlett. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 08:41, 20 October 2011 (UTC)
A pointer: when you edit a talk page, add your comments to the bottom of the section or the page, as that will help people notice your talk, and will lead to it being in chronological order, perhaps making the conversation make more sense. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 08:45, 20 October 2011 (UTC)
Fungal contamination of contact lenses
editHi, I see you have started Fungal contamination of contact lenses. You have not mentioned your topic in the article yet. The practice on Wikipedia is to say something about the topic in the first sentence, then readers will know what it is or what the most critical fact for the topic is. I added some wikilinks using the double square brakcets eg [[cornea]]. For headings we use double equals signs: ==References== Graeme Bartlett (talk) 21:41, 4 November 2011 (UTC)
License tagging for File:Huping.jpg
editThanks for uploading File:Huping.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.
To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 17:10, 21 November 2011 (UTC)
- Do you have a photo that you took yourself. If so, you have the rights and can license under perhas a Creative Commons by Attribution +Share-Alike license. If the photo is fomr elsewhere you need to get the rights released in an email from the copyright owner = and this needs to be forwarded to a specific OTRS email address. There is also an alternative for fair-use claim but that is more complex. Also note that it is better to upload the image to http://commons.wikimedia.org - that way the image is available for reuse on the other language wikipedias without duplication.

- The photo on a personal webpage of a university faculty member is not covered by the work of US government clause. That holds only for work done by Federal authorities - covering things like the NASA, USDA or USGS images. An option would be to write to Dr Ling and ask her to grant permission - You can see the format of the email to be sent here Shyamal (talk) 01:55, 4 December 2011 (UTC)
- Hi Alex, you can now upload the image to http://commons.wikimedia.org (the same login and password will work) and then forward the email to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org indicating the filename that you uploaded. Shyamal (talk) 03:29, 5 December 2011 (UTC)
