Matrix: some advice

I completely ignore the license field. When someone says a file is free and the evidence is not immediately clear, it's because they just picked one at random or don't understand what they're doing. Snowmanonahoe (talk · contribs · typos) 22:38, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I understand where you're coming from, but it's always good to give them a chance to clarify in case I missed something or the evidence is unclear. One of my first uploads on Commons (which I'm now admin on) was actually free in the source field, but I guess the patroller saw I was a new user at the time and thought "this must be a copyvio" and tagged it. —Matrix(!) {user - talk? - _uselesscontributions} 08:42, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

File:Owl WTP.jpg

The image file, File:Owl WTP.jpg, must be uploaded onto either Wikimedia or Wikipedia, preferably Wikimedia, by someone who has an account. Oh, and in case you're wondering, it must be a picture of Owl from the Disney Winnie the Pooh franchise, and it must be this image here. Just click on the link [1].There aren't any images of Owl from the Disney Winnie the Pooh franchise on Wikipedia, nor Wikimedia, for that matter. I need it for my draft article I'm working on Owl from "Winnie-the-Pooh". I need an image of Owl from the Disney Version of Winnie the Pooh. You can either upload any image of Owl from the Disney Winnie the Pooh franchise, or I can find out who deliberately excluded Owl from The Disney Characters Category on Wikimedia Commons in the first place. And, please, DO NOT remove this. I spent days since Sunday, 22 September 2024, trying to find a free, usable image of Owl from the Disney Winnie the Pooh franchise, but there isn't any. Isn't Owl supposed to be included as a Disney character anyway? 2601:401:4300:3720:DFA6:3A7D:50F9:C570 (talk) 21:20, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done, the image you linked isn't free. Once your draft has been published, however, you could likely upload it as a {{Non-free character}}. C F A 💬 21:31, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

But I don't have an account. 2601:401:4300:3720:DFA6:3A7D:50F9:C570 (talk) 21:40, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You can re-request it here once the draft is in mainspace. C F A 💬 21:41, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

But I want to use the image, or any image, of Owl from the Disney Winnie the Pooh franchise BEFORE I publish my draft article. 2601:401:4300:3720:3930:E65E:FABE:48DA (talk) 20:31, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Well, you can't. C F A 💬 21:15, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, yes, I can, and why not? How am I gonna get my draft article finished without the image I need? 2601:401:4300:3720:3930:E65E:FABE:48DA (talk) 21:16, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You don't need an image to submit your draft. C F A 💬 21:17, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Well, actually, yes I do. I hope someone has a free image of Owl from the Disney Winnie-the-Pooh franchise, or I'm gonna find out who deliberately excluded Owl of the Disney Winnie-the-Pooh franchise from Wikipedia and the Wikimedia Commons in the first place. 2601:401:4300:3720:3930:E65E:FABE:48DA (talk) 21:21, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, good luck. C F A 💬 21:31, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. 2601:401:4300:3720:3930:E65E:FABE:48DA (talk) 21:32, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oh. I found this [owl-notes.png]. 2601:401:4300:3720:F1B5:A979:9335:1722 (talk) 01:56, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No, it's not free. C F A 12:46, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, apologies if I shouldn't ask here, but I am confused on how to request an image for uploading.

I am attempting to upload a higher quality image of the Teletoon at Night logo, for use on the page for it, as the current image is quite low quality. However, I am unsure how to go about adding it, if it has to be an unedited image from a source (can I remove the background from an image from the source?) and other stuff like that. Let me know how I can do this, or remove this if I'm doing something wrong, just try to find a way to tell me how to do it right. Thank you.

Nevermind, I think I have figured it out, and the SVG is now visible on the page. Hope it stays, as it looks much nicer to me, but let me know if I did anything wrong. Thanks. Syreyup (talk) 02:43, 19 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
