Balaton (car)

Hi there, adding images to wikipedia is pretty straightforward (see WP:PIC) but because most images belong to someone, even where they have otherwise been plastered all over the net, there are very strict guidelines about what can and can't be used on wikipedia and/or which articles a single image might be used in. (See WP:IUP). These won't always prevent an image being loaded, but if it doesn't meet the critera, or if its copyright status is incorrectly stated, then it will get deleted very quickly. Many obscure cars (which no longer exist for anyone to take a picture of) were depicted on advertising brocures or publicity photographs which are out on the net somewhere and these can sometimes be used if no other image is available (See WP:NFC). Hope this helps. Finally, though there are vast numbers of policys, guidelines etc, etc etc. These are all aimed at getting the best information on wikipedia, and making sure it stays. Happily most users recognise that people are aiming to improve things, so if in doubt Ignore all rules All the best. Mighty Antar (talk) 08:31, 30 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright problem: Alba Regia (car)

Please do not add copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder, as you did to Alba Regia (car). For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. The article contains copyrighted text from http://www.theautochannel.com/vehicles/coll/mikro.html. It will have to be rewritten. • Gene93k (talk) 00:36, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the image link because externally linked images don't work in Wikipedia. As suggested above, please see the Wikipedia:Picture tutorial for help in uploading an image to Wikipedia. Also, please make sure that the image does not violate copyrights. • Gene93k (talk) 00:36, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
