[edit] Are you really new?
Wow, can you really be a newcomer, with that deft use of <ref>? If you are, serious respect for mastering horrid Wiki code! JackyR | Talk 22:40, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
Hello JackyR, thanks for the kind comments. I am familiar with HTML basics so this is not too difficult to follow, especially with the extensive help files. The next step is a photo or two of mine. If you have any suggestions for improvement, please let me know.

[edit] License tagging for Image:W Withering at Caldas da Rainha.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:W Withering at Caldas da Rainha.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.
For more information on using images, see the following pages:
This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 04:09, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
- Great image. I see a bot has come to nag you about description and copyright. The links it offers are good, but a better course would be to go straight to Wikimedia Commons. This is the central library for all the Wikimedia projects (diff language Wikipedias, Wiktionary, etc), and images uploaded there are available for immediate use on all projects. Alas there's no easy transfer method from English-language Wikipedia, so you'll have to upload your pic again from scratch. And sign-up there to do so.
- The slight wrinkle is that Commons pics have to be copyright-free in all domains, whereas Eng-lang WP seems happy to follow US law (bizarre, but there you are). However, your particular pic looks to be good all round. Generally there is excellent guidance for images at Commons, so if you can bear more learning I'd recommend starting there rather than Eng-lang WP's guidance. If there's anything I can help with, feel free to ask (I'm JackyR at Commons, too), and they're a friendly bunch at the Village Pump/Help Desk.
