Please add more information

[edit]

Hello and Welcome! When you upload images, I hope that you will add them with more information. Especially with old images, it's important to add a date (or year) when the photograph was taken and who took the photo. Source of the image is also an important piece of information. You can use the {{Information}} template that is on the upload page. Samulili 11:32, 21 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]


I'm using that template on all my photos... but anyway thanks for the info ;) Alan.Z 01:36, 24 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

My mistake. When I checked your contributions for some images, I didn't notice that you had added and fixed categories to images someone else had uploaded. That, I want to say, is good work! -Samulili 08:10, 30 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Alerting to a potential violation of your copyrighted work

[edit]

Hello Alan,

I noticed a photo on the website of a news organization that had the attribution "Photo courtesy of Wikipedia", which is highly suspicious. I tracked the original source to your account and found that you had licensed it as cc-2.5-sa. Since the page is neither providing proper attribution, nor licensing the modified work, I though I'd let you know of the potential violation in case you wanted to contact them.
