Uploading pictures

[edit]

To upload a picture, either click "Upload file" in the toolbox on the left side of the page, or simply go here. Since you want to upload a picture of Kimiko, it would be helpful to add the following text into the upload box:

Kimiko, a character from the animated television series ''[[Xiaolin Showdown]]''.
{{media|Xiaolin Showdown}}

When you upload the picture, for "Licensing" choose "TV screenshot" from the menu. All of this should list the image correctly. Ryulong 21:58, 5 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It doesn't appear that the picture has any sort of information with it. Where did you get it? (And please remember to sign your comments with ~~~~.) Ryulong 22:07, 5 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The below tag from OrphanBot is what I was talking about. You need to remember to add licensing information to any image you upload. You have to be clear as to how you got the picture. Ryulong 22:12, 5 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I'm afraid that "Google" isn't a good source for images, as they don't even have copyright information as to how the other people got the images. It would be best not to use the image, now, unless you can figure out where the website you got it from got it from.
And As a courtesy for other editors, kindly observe Wikipedia guidelines and sign your talk page and user talk page posts. To do so simply add four tildes (~~~~) at the end of your comments and your user name or IP address and the date will be automatically added. For further info see: Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines. Thanks. Ryulong 22:14, 5 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
That is all right, as I have found the actual source of the image. Ryulong 22:17, 5 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The picture is now correctly uploaded and tagged. You can now see it at Kimiko Tohomiko. Ryulong 22:25, 5 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
And please remember that to sign comments, you don't put your username between [[ and ]]. Just type ~~~~ at the end of your comment, and then it will show up as your name, and the time you made your comment. Ryulong 22:28, 5 July 2006 (UTC) (←When I first typed "Ryulong 22:28, 5 July 2006 (UTC)", all I did was type ~~~~. Try it yourself, and you'll see that you'll get the same but with your name.)[reply]

A short lesson on imbedding pictures in articles

[edit]

To put a picture on an article, all you have to do is link to it, with "Image:" before the filename. If I wanted to put the picture of Kimiko here, I would put "[[Image:Kimikotohomiko.jpg]]" but I cannot as this is not an article and it would violate the fair use rationale. However, I can add this image, a test image, here to show you how it works:

If I wanted to give the image a caption, I would do so by adding "|thumb" to the image imbedding, and then another | and then whatever I wanted to say in the picture. On the page for Kimiko Tohomiko I typed "[[Image:Kimikotohomiko.jpg|thumb|100px|'''Kimiko Tohomiko''']]" and that made the picture look as it did, including resizing it to be 100 pixels wide, and imbedding it on the right side of the page. The effect that has on Example.jpg is this:

This is an example of image formatting.

To learn more about image formatting, go to WP:IMAGE. --Ryulong 22:40, 5 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]


A minor note, you must be sure that your images have the correct copyright information. Pictures that you find through a Google/Yahoo/etc. search should not be uploaded unless you can be sure of their source. Ryulong 22:45, 5 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Your message on my talk page

[edit]

What's from Deviant Art? If a picture is from Deviantart, unless you drew it yourself or you have direct permission from the original artist you cannot upload the image. The Kimiko picture that you uploaded I found elsewhere online and is not a piece of fan art, and now has a much larger version up, along with all of the correct copyright information, if that's what you're talking about. Ryulong 18:48, 9 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, well, even though you did find the picture of Kimiko on dA, I found it elsewhere, and now copyright information is listed. Ryulong 02:19, 11 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You might want to fix your signature. It doesn't link to anything. It should link to User:SerpentsTail, not SerpentsTail. Ryulong 02:46, 11 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Omnitrix

[edit]

Cite me every time they use that exact phrase and I'll consider your argument to have merit. I know for a fact that it is not even remotely true. – Someguy0830 (T | C) 01:28, 2 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Kimikotohomiko.jpg)

[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:Kimikotohomiko.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 19:05, 7 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]


Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Kimikotohomiko.jpg

[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:Kimikotohomiko.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 18:10, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
