English subtitles for clip: File:Editing basics - Uploading and adding images.webm

1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:06,500
This screencast walks through the basics of uploading images to Wikimedia Commons 

2
00:00:06,700 --> 00:00:09,200
and adding them to Wikipedia articles.

3
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:13,500
Take this article for example: secondary lens.

4
00:00:13,700 --> 00:00:18,500
It's a photography topic that doesn't have any photos. Let's fix that!

5
00:00:18,700 --> 00:00:21,500
We'll use an original image I made.

6
00:00:21,700 --> 00:00:24,000
To add it to the article, we'll need to upload it

7
00:00:24,100 --> 00:00:26,200
to Wikimedia Commons.

8
00:00:26,500 --> 00:00:27,200
First things first.

9
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:31,000
Wikimedia Commons is only for original works you made yourself,

10
00:00:31,300 --> 00:00:36,000
works by others that were explicitly released under a Wikipedia-compatible license,

11
00:00:36,300 --> 00:00:40,500
or works in the public domain that aren't covered by anyone's copyright.

12
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:42,000
To upload a file,

11
00:00:42,300 --> 00:00:45,000
go to commons.wikimedia.org.

12
00:00:45,300 --> 00:00:48,000
Be sure to log in if you aren't already logged in.

13
00:00:48,300 --> 00:00:50,300
You'll use the same account you have on Wikipedia.

14
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,600
To get started, go to the Upload Wizard

15
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:56,800
by clicking the "Upload file" link on the left.

16
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:00,000
The first page of the wizard is a comic, featuring Puzzly!,

17
00:01:00,300 --> 00:01:04,000
which goes over what is allowed on Commons and what isn't.

18
00:01:04,300 --> 00:01:08,000
At the bottom of the comic, click next to get to the upload page.

19
00:01:08,300 --> 00:01:14,000
Clicking "Select a media file to donate" will let you find a file on your computer to upload.

20
00:01:14,300 --> 00:01:18,000
Once it uploads, you're ready to continue on to the license release.

21
00:01:18,300 --> 00:01:22,000
If it's your own work, just put in your name or username

22
00:01:22,300 --> 00:01:25,600
--however you want to be credited when people use the image--

23
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:27,000
and press Next.

24
00:01:27,300 --> 00:01:30,500
Now it's time for the title of the image and the description.

25
00:01:30,700 --> 00:01:31,500
For the title

26
00:01:31,700 --> 00:01:34,500
put something concise, descriptive

27
00:01:34,700 --> 00:01:37,700
 and specific enough to differentiate it from similar images.

28
00:01:37,900 --> 00:01:39,500
For the description,

29
00:01:39,700 --> 00:01:42,000
add as much detail as you can:

30
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,500
where and how was the image made;

31
00:01:44,700 --> 00:01:46,500
what the subject is;

32
00:01:46,700 --> 00:01:49,000
and anything else a viewer might want to know about it.

33
00:01:49,300 --> 00:01:53,000
You can also add the image to one or more Wikimedia Commons categories

33
00:01:53,300 --> 00:01:58,000
-- try browsing similar images to find out what categories are appropriate.

34
00:01:58,300 --> 00:02:00,500
At this point, pressing Next will complete the upload,

35
00:02:00,700 --> 00:02:05,000
and the work should be available for use on Wikipedia.

36
00:02:05,300 --> 00:02:07,000
On the last page of the wizard, you'll find

37
00:02:07,300 --> 00:02:10,000
code for adding the work to a Wikipedia article,

38
00:02:10,300 --> 00:02:13,000
and a URL for getting to the file page,

39
00:02:13,300 --> 00:02:17,000
where you can edit the description or upload newer versions of the file.

40
00:02:17,300 --> 00:02:19,500
You can copy the wikicode

41
00:02:19,700 --> 00:02:21,000
and paste it into the article,

42
00:02:21,300 --> 00:02:23,500
and then add a caption.

43
00:02:23,700 --> 00:02:27,000
The basic format for putting an image into an article is like this:

44
00:02:27,300 --> 00:02:29,200
opening square brackets, then

45
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:31,200
the name of the image file, then

46
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:36,200
a pipe and the word thumb -- which puts it into the standard thumbnail format --

47
00:02:36,500 --> 00:02:37,500
then another pipe,

48
00:02:37,700 --> 00:02:39,000
and then the caption,

47
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:43,000
which should make clear the connection with the accompanying article text,

47
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:46,000
and then two closing squre brackets.

48
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,000
Once you've added the image,

49
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,000
put in an edit summary and save the page,

50
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:51,500
and that's it!

51
00:02:51,700 --> 00:02:54,000
We've added a new image to Wikipedia.

52
00:02:54,500 --> 00:02:57,000
Thanks! Bye!
