===File destination===
[[File:File description options.jpg|thumb|right|An example of the file description options filled in]]
The file description box includes 'file destination' and 'summary,' which are optional, however, we would prefer that all image uploads are titled appropriately (relating to the image and not just a string of numbers and letters) and that there is at least a brief summary to describe what the image is. This helps when searching the site. The 'licensing' drop-down list is there to ensure that the image you upload comes under at least one of those licenseslicences. If you own the image and do not want it in the public domain, you can chose the 'works copyrighted' licenselicence. Conversely, if you don't mind others being able to use your image you could select any licenselicence from the 'Public domain' or 'Own work' list. Each licenselicence provides a different purpose and should be understood before choosing. As a general rule (but this is not exclusively so) anything over 70 years old can use the 'Work is in public domain because its copyright has expired' licenselicence.
 
Currently, these are the licenseslicences we use and are available in the drop-down list. Selecting a licenselicence on the upload page will display a preview.

<u>Important! You must chose one of the above licenseslicences for every image you upload</u>.
 
===Upload options===
Line 49:
This is the option that doesn't involve uploading the images yourself. We recommend you try uploading the images yourself but if that is not your preferred option, emailing the images to the [[User:Borderman|site administrator]] is the next easiest thing. The administrator will assess the images for suitability and upload them on your behalf. You will need to let us know if you are the owner or not and where the images came from so we can include the correct license. Any additional information that best describes the images would be helpful.
