| | Upload images and media for WikiPartner. Only upload files WikiPartner is allowed to use. |
|
| |
|
| Before uploading, make sure WikiPartner is legally permitted to host and use the file.

| == Before uploading == | | <div class="wp-upload-example">'''Use in an article:''' <code><nowiki>[[File:Example.jpg|thumb|Caption]]</nowiki></code></div> |
| | | </div> |
| Please check that:
| |
| | |
| * The file is relevant to a WikiPartner article or project page.
| |
| * You know who created the file.
| |
| * You know where the file came from.
| |
| * You have identified its copyright or license status.
| |
| * The filename clearly describes the file.
| |
| * The file does not violate another person's copyright, privacy, or other legal rights.
| |
| | |
| Files with unclear source or licensing information may be removed.
| |
| | |
| == File source ==
| |
| | |
| Always provide the original source of the file.
| |
| | |
| If you created the file yourself, clearly state:
| |
| | |
| <pre>
| |
| Source: Own work
| |
| Author: Your name or username
| |
| </pre>
| |
| | |
| If the file came from another website or publication, provide:
| |
| | |
| * The original URL
| |
| * The name of the creator or copyright holder, if known
| |
| * The publication or website
| |
| * The applicable license or permission
| |
| | |
| Do not describe a file as "own work" unless you actually created it.
| |
| | |
| == Copyright and licensing ==
| |
| | |
| Uploading a file to WikiPartner does not transfer copyright ownership.
| |
| | |
| You must only upload material that WikiPartner has permission to use.
| |
| | |
| Suitable files may include:
| |
| | |
| * Your own original work released under an appropriate license
| |
| * Public-domain material
| |
| * Material published under a compatible Creative Commons or other free license
| |
| * Material for which valid permission has been obtained
| |
| | |
| Do not upload copyrighted images simply because they are available on Google, social media, another website, or another encyclopedia.
| |
| | |
| Availability online does not mean a file is free to reuse.
| |
| | |
| == Logos and promotional images ==
| |
| | |
| Company logos, organization logos, product images, portraits, promotional photographs, and similar material may be copyrighted.
| |
| | |
| Only upload these files when their use is legally permitted and the relevant source and licensing information has been provided.
| |
| | |
| If you are unsure whether WikiPartner can use a file, do not upload it until its copyright status has been reviewed.
| |
| | |
| == Choose a good filename ==
| |
| | |
| Use a clear and descriptive filename.
| |
| | |
| For example:
| |
| | |
| <pre>
| |
| NovaBridge Technologies logo.svg
| |
| </pre>
| |
| | |
| is preferable to:
| |
| | |
| <pre> | |
| IMG_3847.png
| |
| </pre> | |
| | |
| Avoid misleading, meaningless, or unnecessarily long filenames.
| |
| | |
| == File description ==
| |
| | |
| Provide enough information for another editor to understand the file.
| |
| | |
| Where appropriate, include:
| |
| | |
| <pre>
| |
| Description:
| |
| Source:
| |
| Author:
| |
| Date:
| |
| License:
| |
| </pre>
| |
| | |
| Do not leave important source or licensing information blank.
| |
| | |
| == Using the uploaded file ==
| |
| | |
| After a file has been uploaded, you can add it to an article using:
| |
| | |
| <pre>
| |
| [[File:Example.jpg|thumb|Caption]] | |
| </pre> | |
| | |
| For an infobox, enter the uploaded filename into the appropriate image or logo field.
| |
| | |
| Example:
| |
| | |
| <pre> | |
| | image = Example.jpg
| |
| </pre> | |
| | |
| or:
| |
| | |
| <pre>
| |
| | logo = Example.svg
| |
| </pre> | |
| | |
| == Responsibility ==
| |
| | |
| The uploader is responsible for providing accurate source, authorship, copyright, and licensing information.
| |
| | |
| WikiPartner may remove files when:
| |
| | |
| * Copyright status cannot be established
| |
| * Licensing information is missing or misleading
| |
| * The file infringes copyright
| |
| * The file is unrelated to WikiPartner
| |
| * The file violates WikiPartner policies
| |
| * The file creates legal, privacy, or safety concerns
| |
| | |
| For additional information, see [[WikiPartner:Copyright and content reuse|Copyright & Reuse]] and [[WikiPartner:Editorial policy|Editorial policy]].
| |
Upload images and media for WikiPartner. Only upload files WikiPartner is allowed to use.
Add what you know: clear filename, source, creator, short description, and rights/license.
Important: being online does not make a file free to reuse. Logos, portraits, promotional images, and product images may still be copyrighted. Files with unclear source or rights may be removed.
Use in an article: [[File:Example.jpg|thumb|Caption]]
