Hi! Welcome to Wikipedia, from Adrian in England (looks like I'm the first person to write to you).

Just a small point: I notice you have uploaded some pictures. Please can you make them far larger in pixel size. I looked at your picture on the Parrot article and when I clicked on the pic it didn't come up any larger (which is irritating to the reader because he/she then expects to see a much larger picture). That pic is 4K big and 197 pixels across but WP likes big pics (even 4000 pixels wide is OK!) at a size up to one megabyte or so. Of course it's possible you didn't have a bigger pic in whuch case it's best not to use that pic at all.

I upload my digital camera pics at around 2000 pixels wide, compressed in Photoshop to about 600 to 800K in size. I don't know if you realise that WP creates the thumb for you, that's why you can upload very large. If you've any questions please ask on my User page here. Thanks - Adrian Pingstone 08:58, 26 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

File permission problem with File:Fortx.jpg

edit
 

Thanks for uploading File:Fortx.jpg, which you've attributed to Copyright by B, Keith Murphy and bunniwerks www.keithmurphy.info. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

  • make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
  • Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- ТимофейЛееСуда. 00:03, 5 November 2013 (UTC)Reply
