Thanks for uploading Image:Bird_over_nest_in_rocks_near_Gulf_Coast.jpg. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikimedia Commons (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media 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 content is a derivative of a copyrighted work, you need to supply the names and a licence of the original authors as well.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag, then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{self|cc-by-sa-2.5}} to release it under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license or {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

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 uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find all your uploads using the Gallery tool. Thank you.

Tip: Categorizing images

---

Hello, Junglecat!

Tip: Add categories to your files

Thanks a lot for contributing to the Wikimedia Commons! Here's a tip to make your uploads more useful: Why not add some categories to describe them? This will help more people to find and use them.

Here's how:

1) If you're using the UploadWizard, you can add categories to each file when you describe it. Just click "more options" for the file and add the categories which make sense:

2) You can also pick the file from your list of uploads, edit the file description page, and manually add the category code at the end of the page.

[[Category:Category name]]

For example, if you are uploading a diagram showing the orbits of comets, you add the following code:

[[Category:Astronomical diagrams]]

[[Category:Comets]]

This will make the diagram show up in the categories "Astronomical diagrams" and "Comets".

When picking categories, try to choose a specific category ("Astronomical diagrams") over a generic one ("Illustrations").

Thanks again for your uploads! More information about categorization can be found in Commons:Categories, and don't hesitate to leave a note on the help desk.

Image Request

Hello,

I work for a documentary company called VBS.tv. Right now we're working on a piece about the BP oil spill, and we'd like to use two of your images for B-roll:

http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Hurricane_Ike_Johnson_Bayou_LA_damage.jpg

http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Hurricane_Ike_Johnson_Bayou_LA_school_classroom_damage.jpg

We're a small company on a very tight budget, so we are hoping we won't have to pay anything for use of it. This video will get high circulation and will be featured on CNN.com within the next few weeks, so your allowing us to use your material will do some real good.

Is that a possibility?

Thank you.

sams@vbs.tv

Just curious, just how is it that hurricane damage from a while back relates to what happened with the oil spill in a different year? What is this???Junglecat (talk) 01:58, 15 October 2010 (UTC)
