  • Use the CommonSense tool to find good categories for your files (then other people can find them too!)
  • To link to an image page, write this: [[:Image:Foo.jpg]], it makes this: Image:Foo.jpg

Hi Cool Cat! I wanted to ask you if it is allowed to use this image here (need it in an article): http://nla.gov.au/nla.cs-pa-HTTP%253A%252F%252FNLA.GOV.AU%252FNLA.PIC-AN6054546 http://nla.gov.au/nla.pic-an6054546 Thanks --Alexander Gouk 04:18, 19 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

Do you know when the image was made and by whom? If the author of the image died 70+ years ago, image may be in the pd. Additional details (Such as weather or not images copyright was renewed) would be needed for clarification.
On the page you linked the copyright notice suggests:
"You may save or print this image for research and study. If you wish to use it for any other purposes, you must complete the Request for permission form."
That doesn't necessarily mean it is available for commercial purposes nor does it necessarily mean alterations are allowed, both needs to be clarified. I recommend asking the library the details and getting that answer to permissions@wikimedia.org Thats the cleanest, fastest and most effective way to tackle it.

transfer to commons edit

Hey! While transfering images from local Wikipedias to Wikimedia Commons please pay attention to use the correct licence tags from the original uploader and to mention his name – otherwise it’s a violation of copyrights. Commons helper is a nice tool to automate image transfer – give it a try. Regards, --Polarlys 14:38, 18 March 2007 (UTC)Reply
