Please do not overwrite images
edit
Thank you for providing images to Wikimedia Commons. I notice that you have uploaded a new image and at the same time replaced an older one. I think you should know that this is only allowed when the two images are almost exactly alike. Here in Commons we would like to host as many different, useful versions as possible for Wikimedia projects to choose from. I have restored your image to an older version, but I hope you will upload your fine image with another name. Thank you, and happy editing! Samulili 20:49, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for the heads up. Didn't even notice that I had overwritten an old image... I will correct the information tags on the old image and upload the new one with a different name. --oskila 00:35, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
Image Tagging Image:Perisoreus_infaustus2.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Perisoreus_infaustus2.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.

- I have the photographers permission to upload these images. How should a typical license for this look?
From what he and I have discussed, the creative commons copyright seems the most approporiate.--oskila 12:41, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

FPC
editHi. I don't know what went wrong in this case but if you need help for a next nomination feel free to ask in advance. However, I would advise you to thoroughly read the Image Guidelines before you embark on nomination. The Locustella picture you proposed was much too small to be considered. FP's and QI's need to be at least 2Mpx (like 1600x1250, but that's a minimum and more is encouraged). Also read the other requirements. Good luck and happy shooting.
