I want to edit my school page to include the Vice Principals and the School Counselers, but I can't figure out how to add them to the list. My school page is here. The section I am attempting to edit is the box (with the school logo) on the right side, under staff. I have added (though not saved) a short list of people, but cannot seem to get it to show up. I'm guessiong that it is a system programmed into the Wikipedia with set variables that I cannot seem to find a list of nor edit. Thank you for your time!

Anything inside {{...}} marks has a special meaning (just like {{helpme}}); the 'infobox' on the right side is such a template. You usually can't cause templates to display information outside what they are designed for; if you think the information is worth putting in the article, it's best to place it in the body of the article. Also bear in mind the guideline Wikipedia:Avoid statements that will date quickly. --ais523 16:32, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

I plan on adding additional information along with citations and references, but I don't know if my source is an acceptable encyclopedic reference. If I find an interview with, say, a band on YouTube, would it be okay to use it as a reference? Thank you! These7enthprophet 05:32, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

I don't see why it isn't! X [Mac Davis] (DESK|How's my driving?) 05:41, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Images, DVD images, uploading images - Helpme answer attempt

{{helpme}} ^{<-- Help me tag de-activated :) Rfwoolf 08:27, 24 January 2007 (UTC)} If there is anything (This instance is a DVD) that requires an image to keep the article consistent and I do not own the DVD myself, how could I get an image? Would "borrowing" the image from the official site or, say, Amazon.com be acceptable? If so, what would be the proper way to give credit? If not, oh well. Also, how do I upload images to Wikipedia for use in articles? Thank you! --These7enthprophet 06:11, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi These7enthprophet. I will be responding to your helpme request in just a moment ;) Rfwoolf 08:27, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi. The use of images is of course subject to copyright restrictions and further wikipolicy.

Let me begin by pointing you to some help pages that should be good answers to your question:

• WP:IMAGES - gives you an overview of images on Wikipedia, with links to information about uploading images and copyright issues
  
• WP:IUP - gives an overview of Image use policy including answering questions to copyright issues.
  
• WP:UPIMAGE - gives an overview on How to upload images (noting that if your image is a 'free use' image then the best place is to upload it to the wikicommons (a different website that is related to wikipedia), but some copyrighted images (like DVD covers) may be used under certain circumstancse and in that case it should be uploaded to Wikipedia
  

In a moment I will check my opinion on using a DVD cover in an article. I hope this information has been a help so far.

Oh and WP:C gives an overview of Wikipedia Copyright. Ultimately, if you want to be sure that your image is acceptable, you will have to read through that. But let me see what I can do for you. Rfwoolf

Thank you very much for your help thus far. I have read through the WP:IMAGES and WP:IUP and I'm about to start the WP:UPIMAGE and WP:C. So far, I haven't found anything against using an image from Amazon.com (or a similar site) as long as I give proper credit. Thanks again! --These7enthprophet 18:52, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
