User talk:George Gastin
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hi George.
I've seen your photos and have been amazed by their quality. They would nicely illustrate some of the articles on Scotland, and that would be great if you could just upload them on Wikicommons so that everybody can use it, whatever the language. There is a new login system so that you only have to register once (which you did on wikipedia-english), and from there on you can access all wiki things, such as Wikicommons. Don't hesitate to tell me if you have any problem with that stuff.

- Bonjour Philippe,
- Merci vraiment pour votre jolie mots sur mes pictures (I shall talk in English now as my french is not so good) - I was wondering if you could help me with uploading my pictures as I tried to log in to Wikimedia Commons but it said I didn't have a user-name?
- Thanks for your time,
- George.
- (1) If you go on this page it should ask you something like "do you want to merge all your accounts?" In other words, the account that you have on the english wikipedia (George Gastin) will also be created automatically on every other thing related to the Wikimedia Foundation. As a result, you will be able to log on Wikimedia Commons with the same user-name.
- (2) Once you are on the Commons, you have this form to update your picture.
- (3) The section Permission: is important for you as it defines what kind of copyright you'd like to place on your photos. You probably want to write {{cc-by-3.0}} in there, as this licence is as follows: "you are free to distribute and modify the file as long as you attribute its author(s) or licensor(s)."
- (4) In the menu called licensing, the same thing is called Multi-license with Creative Commons Attribute-Share Alike 3.0 and GNU Free documentation License' (yes, it's quite wordy!).
- I hope this "step-by-step" helps. If you have any problem, let me know. I'm not a big fan of those forms but after your complete the first ones, you get used to it and can get it done pretty quickly. Philippe Giabbanelli | Speak with me
