File source is not properly indicated: File:Orbitalaltitudes.jpg

This media may be deleted.

A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:Orbitalaltitudes.jpg, is missing information about where it comes from or who created it, which is needed to verify its copyright status. Please edit the file description and add the missing information, or the file may be deleted. If you created the content yourself, enter {{Own}} as the source. If you did not add a licensing template, you must add one. You may use, for example, {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} or {{Cc-zero}} to release certain rights to your work. If someone else created the content, or if it is based on someone else's work, the source should be the address to the web page where you found it, the name and ISBN of the book you scanned it from, or similar. You should also name the author, provide verifiable information to show that the content is in the public domain or has been published under a free license by its author, and add an appropriate template identifying the public domain or licensing status, if you have not already done so. Warning: Wikimedia Commons takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. Please add the required information for this and other files you have uploaded before adding more files. If you need assistance, please ask at the help desk. Thank you!

The Orbitalaltitudes.jpg is my own work, and the source has "own work" showing this, yet its been stated that the Image does not have a proper source and may be deleted??? what must I do to give it a proper source?

Tip: Categorizing images

---

Hello, Rrakanishu!

Tip: Add categories to your files

Thanks a lot for contributing to the Wikimedia Commons! Here's a tip to make your uploads more useful: Why not add some categories to describe them? This will help more people to find and use them.

Here's how:

1) If you're using the UploadWizard, you can add categories to each file when you describe it. Just click "more options" for the file and add the categories which make sense:

2) You can also pick the file from your list of uploads, edit the file description page, and manually add the category code at the end of the page.

[[Category:Category name]]

For example, if you are uploading a diagram showing the orbits of comets, you add the following code:

[[Category:Astronomical diagrams]]

[[Category:Comets]]

This will make the diagram show up in the categories "Astronomical diagrams" and "Comets".

When picking categories, try to choose a specific category ("Astronomical diagrams") over a generic one ("Illustrations").

Thanks again for your uploads! More information about categorization can be found in Commons:Categories, and don't hesitate to leave a note on the help desk.

Suggestions

Your image Orbitalaltitudes.jpg is nice, but I wanted to point out some grammar errors, mostly to do with capital letters.

• "Earth" and "Sun" should be capitalized everywhere they are used.
• "km" should never be "Km".
• "These Satellites" should be "These satellites", and I'd suggest "semi-synchronous orbit" or "Semi-Synchronous Orbit" rather than "Semi-synchronous Orbit". The words "pixel", "radius", and "altitudes" needn't have capital letters. The descriptions of heights 0 km through 700 km also use capital letters inconsistently.
• "aligned" should have one ell, not two. In that same sentence the apostrophe is missing from "Earth's".

Second Suggestion: Your image Orbitalaltitudes.jpg is nice, but I wanted to point out one thing....

• You indicated that Self-Propelled Jet Aircraft flight is at 23.4 miles above sea level. This is highly inaccurate, if you were referencing commercial aircraft, as they average an altitude between 36,000 ft and 42,000 feet. Therefore, I would highly recommend a change to inidcate about 7 miles, which would be more accurate.
• 39,000 ft / 5,280 ft. = 7.39 miles
• This information can be referenced at any Wiki article regarding major passenger aircraft such as a Boeing 747-400, or an Airbus A340-300. Look under "ceiling" for the aircraft specifics.
• I am an Air Traffic Controller for a living, there actually laws regarding maximum flying altitude for commercial airliners as it is, no more than 44,000 feet.

Very nice job on that Orbital Altitudes diagram

I just wanted to say that I really appreciate it! Well done!

Could you fix a typo in File:Orbitalaltitudes.svg?

Sadly, I cannot properly edit File:Orbitalaltitudes.svg. Could you fix a typo? In the right-hand side, there is a misspelling: "alligned" instead of "aligned".--*thing goes (talk) 19:43, 12 October 2016 (UTC)

Copy right of using Orbitalaltitudes.jpg in publication

Hi Mark, I am writing an article about satellite technologies used in ground movement monitoring, which covers different satellites at different orbits. So I found this picture created by you a good fit for the title picture. The article will be published in a American Society of Civil Engineering magazine in Nov/Dec 17 issue. I am wondering if you allow me to use your photo and certainly it will be credited under your name.

Here is the link of the magazine. http://geostrata.geoinstitute.org/

Not sure if here is the proper place for me to leave you a message. you can also contact me at ningzw@gmail.com

Great visual - one suggestion

I found this very useful to illustrate how far human beings have traveled from Earth - especially the huge gap since the last Apollo mission in 1972. I think it would be helpful to add the Gemini 11 mission to the list of LEO call-outs. Other than Apollo, this is the highest altitude achieved by human beings. — Preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.52.12.36 (talk) 19:15, 29 January 2020 (UTC)
