How do I know if I had successfully uploaded a video clip?

[edit]

"How do I know if I had successfully uploaded a video clip?"

I uploaded a video clip and did nor receive any errors but the clip does not apear on the article that I wanted it to link to. Can you please assist? MBA2012E2 (talk) 13:00, 20 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The file didn't upload, mainly as you are not Autoconfirmed. This happens automatically when you reach 10 edits, and have had an account for 4 days. You can also request confirmed status at WP:PERM, or request it be uploaded at WP:FFU. Mdann52 (talk) 13:05, 20 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the prompt feedback - I registered on the 13th may and have subsequently made more than a 100 edits on one particular page....I am quite desperate to have this video uploaded. Any suggestions? MBA2012E2 (talk) 16:35, 20 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm unsure what Mdann52 is on about, since you *are* autoconfirmed, and should be able to upload files. I get the feeling the upload failed - I'd recommend trying again and see what happens. It should appear in Special:ListFiles/MBA2012E2 if it's successful (and you should get a success message or a failure message too...). [stwalkerster|talk] 17:08, 20 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
What is the format of the video that you are trying to upload? IIRC you can only upload video in OGG format, see WP:OGG.--ukexpat (talk) 17:10, 20 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry about my clumsy response - I looked at the wrong page to check your autoconfirmed status..... :/ Mdann52 (talk) 13:00, 23 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No problem, all help is appreciated.MBA2012E2 (talk) 13:03, 23 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

File:Interview with expert on Weak vs Strong sustainability.png listed for deletion

[edit]

A file that you uploaded or altered, File:Interview with expert on Weak vs Strong sustainability.png, has been listed at Wikipedia:Files for deletion. Please see the discussion to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. (ESkog)(Talk) 12:37, 23 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • In both cases - the video or the image - you'd need to have the copyright holder contact our permissions folks - the directions can be found at Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. If the permission is only "you can use it on Wikipedia" then that's not usually a strong enough release, as copyright holders don't often realize that our content is freely reused by many other projects, including commercial enterprises. (ESkog)(Talk) 12:40, 23 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please advise if using the screen shot of the interview, with referrencing and link to their website, is not adhering to copyright rules and guidelines. If I am infringing please also advise what I can do to include this work as to explain the topic.MBA2012E2 (talk) 12:53, 23 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open!

[edit]

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
