Someone else's work now owned by me

[edit]

What's the bureaucratic procedure for uploading a photo that was taken by my later father-in-law and now belongs to me? Radavenport (talk) 10:19, 26 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Go here and here to ask image and media questions. More people watch those discussion pages, and will answer your questions.
This page here is mostly for questions and comments about the upload text, and the upload form. --Timeshifter (talk) 01:51, 27 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Vague licensing

[edit]

The upload page says:

However, images which are released into the public domain or released under a free license, such as the GFDL or an appropriate Creative Commons license can be used.

This is too vague. Either specify which CC licenses are acceptable or link to somewhere that does. pgr94 (talk)

CC-SA version

[edit]

The drop-down box of licenses only lists CC version 3.0 licenses. But what about images licensed with CC 2.0? If older licenses are incompatible, the page should perhaps say this. pgr94 (talk) 11:08, 31 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Questions about upload form

[edit]

I'm confused. I have the permission of the "author" (photographer, in this case Michael Oletta) to upload a photo he shot--and to which he still owns the copyright-- under a CC-BY-SA 3.0 license. When I select that in the "Licensing" drop-down, that license's logo appears at the bottom of the form, and I have a "Summary" box with (what I'd call a) template, thus: (-->PLEASE GO INTO EDIT MODE TO SEE THIS MESSAGE AS I INTENDED FOR IT TO BE DISPLAYED!)

I get that I can add to each of these lines (e.g. "Description", "Source", etc.) any information I have available. I assume I can leave a line as is (i.e. blank--nothing after the "=") What I don't understand are these:

  • Source... Can I just add "Photographer himself" or must it be a URL?
  • Date... If I don't know the date, do I leave the four tildes or do I delete them so there's nothing after the "="?
  • Permission... What do I put here? Do I have to add "" (where "Attribution details" would be "Michael Oletta"? Or will the fact that I've added his name to the "Author" line and that I've chosen the Licensing drop-down CC-BY-SA 3.0 be sufficient?

I'm a Wikipedia newbie (in case you couldn't tell). Where do I look for a reply to this "New Section" I've added to this page? Should I look on my User:Talk page (my username is "Swamissurfer") or look on this page to which I'm adding a section?

Am going to type four tildes now since that seems to be how I "sign" this posting: Swamissurfer (talk) 03:19, 13 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
