Goodies, tips, and tricks Put Babel boxes on your user page so others know what languages you can speak and indicate your graphic abilities. You can find the files you have uploaded in your Uploads. Please sign your name on Talk pages by typing ~~~~. To link to an image page without embedding the image, type: [[:File:Foo.jpg]], which produces: File:Foo.jpg. You may enable gadgets (custom features) for your account. There are several tools to upload files. Have you edited Wikipedia before? This guide might be useful. Made a mistake? Do you want to have a file renamed or moved? Use the move link and wait for an authorized user to rename it. Do you want to have your recently uploaded picture removed?

Categorization of files

File:Portrait of Bertha Phillpotts by Philip de Lazlo.jpg

hi, nice upload. however the source appears to be from here [1]. please link to the website where you get items from. please only use "own" for work that you photographed or scanned. you might find commons:pattypan useful for uploading with artwork template.

Thanks for your help Acrestreet (talk) 16:26, 26 April 2017 (UTC)

@Slowking4: Actually, don't use {{Own work}} for works that you scanned, or existing artworks that you photographed (the documentation of the template specifically says not to, as it implies that all of the copyrightable content in the image is 'your own work'). Use {{Self-scanned}} or {{Self-photographed}} as the source if you are simply photographing or scanning someone else's work.... and, as mentioned, attribute where you obtained the image if someone else digitized it. Only use {{Own work}} if "you personally created the entire original image by yourself". - Revent^talk 20:08, 11 May 2017 (UTC)

i do. i use artist = the artist of the artwork. and i use author = the author of the book, and the person who scanned, or person who took the picture of the painting or sculpture. we still have the vestige of sweat of the brow to consider, and bridgeman does not apply to 3d art, or frames. and when people slap "non facebook compatible" that is a down stream restriction only conceivable under such a practice. see also File:Recumbent_Nude.jpg.

however using two templates per one image is problematic. it is hard enough to map artwork template to wikidata. see also [2] & [3] Slowking4 § Sander.v.Ginkel's revenge 23:08, 11 May 2017 (UTC)

File tagging File:False Paradise.jpg

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading File:False Paradise.jpg. This media is missing permission information. A source is given, but there is no proof that the author or copyright holder agreed to license the file under the given license. Please provide a link to an appropriate webpage with license information, or ask the author or copyright holder to send an email with copy of a written permission to VRT (permissions-commons@wikimedia.org). You may still be required to go through this procedure even if you are the author yourself; please see Commons:But it's my own work! for more details. After you emailed permission, you may replace the {{No permission since}} tag with {{subst:PP}} on file description page. Alternatively, you may click on "Challenge speedy deletion" below the tag if you wish to provide an argument why evidence of permission is not necessary in this case. Please see this page for more information on how to confirm permission, or if you would like to understand why we ask for permission when uploading work that is not your own, or work which has been previously published (regardless of whether it is your own). Warning: unless the permission information is given, the file may be deleted after seven days. Thank you.

@Magog the Ogre: Thanks, Magog. The image was not taken from the internet, it was scanned from a print in the possession of Mr T. Huq (one of the persons represented in the photograph). It is not known who took the photograph, but it looks more amateurish than the work of a press photographer.Acrestreet (talk) 14:43, 11 December 2019 (UTC)
