Can someone explain what I need to do to get an image copyrighted through the GNU Free Licensing? Do I have to upload it to them or something, or do I simply copy their agreement onto my page ?? I did attempt to read their documentation and still didn't understand what I need to do -- sorry. Dvori 18:02, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

Check out Help:Image_page#Copyright_status for the answers to your question i believe. -- ∞Wirelain 18:26, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Anser to your question

I think you can post copyrighted image under fair use. I don't think you can actually post it under GNU license.

Fufu Fang 18:19, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Ignore that response, fair use only applies to specific situations you certainly cannot upload just any image under fair use provisions. In answer to your question if you own the image i.e. you took the photo then under most circumstances you also own the copyright, if you wish to license it under the GFDL just select the GFDL option when uploading the image. If someone else owns the copyright on the image, then you can't simply convert the copyright they have to explicitly agree to it. --pgk^(talk) 18:28, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Help Me listed on your page

How do I add my page content to categories (i.e. I need to add the person to the category of Composers) If I create headings and subheadings, does Wikipedia automatically create the outline with target links? Thanks! Dvori 23:22, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

In order to add a page to a category, you need to use this form of notation: [[Category:]], where the portion after the category: part is the name of the category you wish to enter the page into. Basically, when I categorize pages, I go to the page of the category, copy the title from the top of the page, and paste it in between the brackets (the and ). I hope this answers your question. I am taking the helpme off your page, and if you need any more help, feel free to contact me. --No1lakersfan 23:42, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

When I put composer D. S. Crafts into the category of composers, Wikipedia put him in the "D" section instead of the "C" section. Should I change the name of the article to Daniel Steven Crafts? If so, how do I do that ??

In order to get the person in the category with their last name, it should look like this:

((Category:name of cat|Last name, First name)) (replace (()) with [[]] in brackets) You do not need to rename the page, but if you ever wish to, click on the Move button at the top of the page and type the new name of the page. --No1lakersfan 00:09, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Just a quick note about lists

If you go and look at Daniel Steven Crafts now, you will see that I changed the lists just a bit. I never have used lists this deep, so I had to do some figuring to get them to look the way they do. To figure it out, I used the Help:List page.

To get the numbered lists to move over under the bulleted list, I used "*#" and then the list items. If you edit the page, you will see those there now. Another thing I used here and there is "*:". With a list like this, it gets to be a bit odd, but it does look better than before. You are welcome to ask me questions at my user talk page. --Matthew 04:25, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Daniel Steven Crafts.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Daniel Steven Crafts.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

• make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
• Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Kelly ^hi! 02:17, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
