==The Fibiwiki upload procedure== 
'''5.''' <big>'''Please ensure images are scanned at 96 dpi and below 2MB in size.'''</big>
The Fibiwiki upload procedure (current at May 2012)  is typically done in two parts  as follows, noting that you must first be registered with the Webmaster. If you aren't already registered, , please contact the [mailto:fibis-webmaster@fibis.org Webmaster]. You must be logged in to the Fibiwiki before you can upload an image.
 
===Part 1===
:Permitted file types: png, gif, jpg, pdf.  Jpeg files are the same type as jpg files, however for the upload to proceed, it may be necessary to change the file name from jpeg to jpg . You make this change to the file name within your own computer system.
*Click on "upload an image" at the top of this page, or "Upload file" in the toolbox in the panel on the left hand side of the page.
::Text display after  a pdf upload.
*Next click on browse, which should take you to the images stored on your computer.  Permitted file types are: png, gif, jpg, jpeg, pdf, kmz.
::An example of  the text display after  a pdf upload which is a small book file. The 2MB limit on size means that in practice, most pdf uploads will be one page images only. For the actual upload see next section.  For the text display click on the Embedded file icon on the toolbar (the icon with two peaks) [[File:EastLancashireRegRecruitsHist.pdf|thumb||Recruit's History of the East Lancashire Regiment]]. If you want this to display as a clickable pdf icon use the format <nowiki>[[File:Fileicon-pdf.png|50px|link=File:EastLancashireRegRecruitsHist.pdf|Recruit's History of the East Lancashire Regiment]]</nowiki>[[File:Fileicon-pdf.png|50px|link=File:EastLancashireRegRecruitsHist.pdf||Recruit's History of the East Lancashire Regiment]]
*Then double click on the file you want to upload. At this point, you may be asked by the Fibiwiki to change the file name with a message such as this: "The name of the file you are uploading begins with "DSC_", which is a non-descriptive name typically assigned automatically by digital cameras. Please choose a more descriptive name for your file."  You make changes to the file name within your own computer system, (not within the upload system) refer paragraph above.  
 
*Repeat the upload procedure with the new file name.

*Also note that if your image upload won’t complete, if you change the file name even slightly, (even though this has not been requested) this may enable a successful upload.
[[File:1.READ page.jpg|thumb|350px|1.READ page]]
*Next, a brief 'Summary' of the photograph may be added. This is optional at this point, as this wording may be added in Part 2.
[[File:2.EDIT page.jpg|thumb|350px|2.EDIT page]]
*Next select the type of licence from the dropdown list. The first option "Attribution 3.0 unported (most restrictive)" is the option which will be selected for most personal and family photographs. When you select a licence this will automatically generate a licence category.

An example image using Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 unported license attributed to the owner of the original photograph

We are always looking for images to illustrate our articles or provide a useful source of information. If you have any pictures you are willing to upload, they would be very much appreciated. Please have a look at our requirements first below, then upload an image.

Requirements

When uploading images to the wiki, you need to:

1. Adhere to our copyright policy and only upload images that either:

  • You own the rights to (usually meaning that you created the image yourself)
  • You can prove that the copyright holder has licensed under an acceptable free license.
  • You can prove is in the public domain in the UK.

2. Add a Creative Commons License when uploading images you own the rights to.

In the upload process there is a list from which you select the appropriate licence. See point 3.

3. Clearly state the author, license and origin of the image by:

  1. Select the appropriate license on the file upload page page.
  2. Attribute the image. See image license tag category to find the relevant license page where you can find instructions of how to attribute the image on the example page.

Most family owned photographs have the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 unported License. Refer the example photograph on this page Wac(I) Benares.jpg and the A J Oliver family collection.

Images that do not meet these requirements will have to be deleted.

4. Use descriptive file names

It is requested that you give the files a descriptive name which is related to the image. If you are uploading a photograph of something (say a church) in a town, it is preferable to put the town name first, as it makes it easier to spot relevant images when they are in a mixed category) as titles don’t always display fully in the thumbnail. You make any changes to the file names within your own computer system.

5. Please ensure images are scanned at 96 dpi and below 2MB in size.

Permitted file types: png, gif, jpg, pdf. Jpeg files are the same type as jpg files, however for the upload to proceed, it may be necessary to change the file name from jpeg to jpg . You make this change to the file name within your own computer system.
