Hello!
Thanks for uploading some pictures to Wikipedia. I wanted to make sure you were aware of some of the requirements and good practices for uploaded images.
- Pick an image name.
- When uploading an image, pick a file name that is descriptive, and unique. Remember that many images may be uploaded about the same topic, and remember that names are case sensitive.
- Source the image.
- On the image description page, explain where the image came from. If you created the image yourself, then say so. If it's from the web, give a URL. If it's a screenshot of a movie or game, or a scan from a book, give the title.
- Provide copyright and license information.
- This part is a little bit trickier, but it's very important. The copyright of the image generally belongs to whoever created it.
- If it's a photograph you took, or an image you created (modifying an image that already exists doesn't count) in software like Photoshop or GIMP, then you hold the copyright. To upload it to Wikipedia, you must agree to license it under the GFDL (which allows anyone to use it, but requires that they give credit to the original author and requires that any further edit to the image be licensed under the GFDL as well) or release it into the public domain (which allows anyone to use it for any purpose without restriction.) Do this by placing an appropriate tag on the image description page, like {{ GFDL}} or {{ PD-self}}. Be sure to mention that you created the image. If you're using {{ PD-self}}, you may also want to use {{ NoRightsReserved}}, since there is some dispute as to whether one may grant items into the public domain.
- If you didn't create the image, or the copyright somehow belongs to another party (like a screenshot, which you might "create", but the copyright belongs to the author of the movie or video game), then you need to find another tag that describes the copyright status of the image. Images used on Wikipedia need to be free for our use and the use of sites which reproduce our content. This means that images cannot have a restriction such as "only for use by Wikipedia", or "for non-commercial use only", or "for educational use". Images without a free license may be usable in certain articles under our policy for non-free content, but such a use must be justified on the image description page.
- Describe the image.
- To another reader, the image may not be immediately understood. A caption in an article doesn't explain the image to a visitor who sees it on its image page. Put a brief explanation of what is in the image on the image description page, similar to what you might include in a caption on an article.

Thanks for uploading File:1963 just before demolision (redeveloped).jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 09:06, 10 April 2009 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. feydey ( talk) 09:06, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
Thank you for uploading File:1963 just before demolision (redeveloped).jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

Hi.
I am pleased to meet someone that cares about Stockport mills. So I am watching the page, and willing to step in a give a little help where it is needed. Uploading images seems to be one area. Firstly- all images need to be accompanied by some text. This needs to give a description and some legal information- otherwise a bot zaps the file, Here is the template I used in Edale.
{{ Information
|Description=
Edale is a small Derbyshire village and Civil parish in the Peak District of England. The Parish of Edale, area 2,844.8ha is in the Borough of High Peak.The Church.
|Source=Self-made
|Date=2008-06-07
|Author=Clem Rutter, Rochester Kent
|Permission=Own work, copyleft: Multi-license with GFDL and Creative Commons CC-BY-SA-2.5 and older versions (2.0 and 1.0)
|other_versions=
}}
{{self2|GFDL|cc-by-sa-2.5,2.0,1.0}}
You can cut and paste most of this- but do change the name date and description! Just go to the image file you have uploaded- and edit. The rest is obvious. (Trust me - I have never been a bank manager.) For future images- if you go to the upload file (in the left panel) and select the option (entirely my own work) you will get prompted for the info that is needed.
