==What is the copyright of the image?==

Line 6:

===Who took the picture?===

* It is easiest if you only load photographs that you took.

::- Your photograph of someone else's work of art is considered a '''[[Derivative work]]'''.

::- Copyright restrictions may still remain for the artwork itself.

* If you're using someone else's photograph, you have to consider the copyright restrictions of both the photographer and the artist of the artwork.

Line 31:

Images need meaningful names, the more meaningful the more likely they are to be used. Giving them that name before uploading is easier than naming them after uploading.

Images need [[WPWikipedia:Category|categories]], and you should include at least one when you load it. You can add more later, but uploading an image without categories will look problematic to some and may cause others to waste their time trying to identify your photos.

If you are loading photos taken in a particular museum or gallery consider including them in a category for that collection.

Line 46:

* Non-free use images can only be used '''[[WP:NFCC#3a|sparingly]]''' in articles in order to provide basic visual identification of the artwork.

:-You can only claim "fair use" for low resolution images.

:-Non-Free images cannot be used in '''[[WikipediaWP:PIC#Galleries| Galleries]]''', '''article drafts''', or '''lists'''. This is considered excessive use of fair use images.

:-Close up or detail photos are typically not permitted if the image is Non-Free.

:-Non-free images should only be uploaded after your article is live as unused non-free images need to be deleted from wikipedia

Line 56:

* Always advocate that the image is educational and also can be used for critical commentary in your articles.

* Always include the Non-free use rationale and Non-free 3D art templates ('''<nowiki>{{Non-free 3D art}}</nowiki>''') and be as specific in your rationale as you can.

* See the '''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:MegaGemFront%28South%29.JPG| Mega-Gem image file]''' for an example.

# '''Upload''' your image to '''[http://www.flickr.com Flickr]''' (the unique link to your photo will be used in your Non-free use rationale).
