MediaWiki:Uploadtext

Welcome to the WikiMac Upload file page. Please use this form to upload images, audio and other documents to our server.

Please note: Your file may be removed if you fail to follow the following guidelines:


 * Provide detailled information on the source of the file. If you made it yourself, write "self" or your name/ID. If you got it from the Internet, provide a link to the page.


 * Specify the licence of the file. Add &#123;{GFDL}} if the file is licenced under the GFDL, &#123;{PD}} if it is in the public domain, &#123;{fairuse}} if it is a fair use item, &#123;{screenshot}} if it is a screenshot of a non-public domain application programme, etc.


 * Place a link to the file (or an image tag, if it is an image) in a relevant article, or use the description page to describe what the file contains (preferably both). In the case of an image, describe what the image depicts. In the case of sound files, describe what it is.


 * Attempt to use a descriptive file name. Please name your file "iMac G5 Beijing.jpg" instead of "iMG5PEK.jpg", and so on and so forth; this will prevent your upload from replacing an already-existing file (although you will receive a warning if the file already exists).

Use the form below to upload new image files for use in illustrating your pages. On most browsers, you will see a "Browse..." button, which will bring up your operating system's standard file open dialogue box (Mac OS X: Open dialogue sheet). Choosing a file will fill the name of that file into the text field next to the button. You must also check the box affirming that you are not violating any copyrights by uploading the file. Press the "Upload" button to finish the upload. This may take some time if you have a slow internet connection.

The preferred formats are JPEG for photographic images, PNG for drawings and other iconic images, and OGG for sounds (please note, no MP3s). Please name your files descriptively to avoid confusion. To include the image in a page, use a link in the form   or    or  [[Media:file.ogg]]  for sounds.

Make sure to read and follow the image use policy.

To view or search previously uploaded images, go to the list of uploaded images. Uploads and deletions are logged on the upload log.

Please note that as with wiki pages, others may edit or delete your uploads if they think it serves the project, and you may be blocked from uploading if you abuse the system.
