Uploading a album cover Picture

edit

Paine Ellsworth I think I got the first half, but my problem is trying to create an uploaded picture page. I tried copying 'Til We See the Shore and updating it for the new album with an updated link to allmusic, but got a bunch of red warning boxes about fair use. I tried to add statements on fair use like in the article, but to no avail. This type of work is definitely out of my comfort zone, but I'd like to add the skillset to my quiver. Thanks for your help, a little more?

Have you used the File Upload Wizard? That should help quite a bit with the process of uploading fair-use images. In short, you can choose "This is a copyrighted, non-free work, but I believe it is Fair Use", give the exact title of the article it's to be used in, choose the "This is the official cover art of a work" option, and fill out the remaining fields necessary for the "fair use" templates. The Wizard should then add those templates automatically. You could likely copy much of the necessary information from the corresponding fields of, say, the File:Seabird 'Til We See the Shore CD cover.JPG fair use rationale. If that still results in warnings, please provide a little more information: What exactly do those warnings say, and when are you given them? Huon (talk) 22:11, 21 August 2013 (UTC)Reply
Sorry I was not available, Jerdmann10; I had some appointments. I see that Huon has found you and has pointed you in the right direction. If you don't mind I would like to give you a talk page pointer. The timeline of talk pages is from top to bottom, so the most recent messages will appear at the bottom. When you post a message on any talk page including yours, it is best to click on "New section near the top of the talk page. That opens up an edit screen that will insert your post at the bottom of the talk page where everyone will know to look for it.
I see that the pages you have been working on have been tagged for various needs. It is important for you to know that once those needs have been fulfilled, any editor, even you, can then remove the appropriate maintenance tag. A tag should remain in place until the article challenge that it points out has been met. Joys! – Paine Ellsworth CLIMAX! 18:26, 22 August 2013 (UTC)Reply

How does Album Cover Pictures work?

I've Been trying to input pictures for album covers and update info for a new album, but I'm clueless. Jerdmann10 (talk) 03:56, 21 August 2013 (UTC)Reply

To get you started, try the short section entitled "Cover" at Template:Infobox album#Cover. That description and the links on that page should get you where you want to be. If the cover image shows up as a red link, that's because there is no image on Wikipedia by that name and it will have to be uploaded using that name. Feel free to ask more questions, either here with the {{Help me}} template or on my talk page. – Paine Ellsworth CLIMAX! 04:41, 21 August 2013 (UTC)Reply
