Help with uploading

Hello GregVolk. First of all, whoever took the photograph(s) that you want to upload to Wikimedia Commons and use on Wikipedia is the copyright owner of it. You posted a question to the Help Desk and received an answer here: Picture uploads. Please read the links that LX provided, and you'll become an export on copyright issues. :) If it's still confusing, let me know what kind of image it is, and we'll figure out together how to obtain the appropriate permission and to license it. --Kimse (talk) 03:18, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
