File:Helicopter water bombing bushfires.jpg
Where did this image come from? I don't see proper copyright information on it; who was the photographer, who holds the copyright, and why was it uploaded to Wikinews rather than Commons? --Pi zero (talk) 23:00, 24 October 2013 (UTC)

The photo was taken by myself - Therese Spillane, sorry should I upload to Commons? am struggling a little with using wikinews/commons particularly in regard to adding images to articles

Do I need to create a new account for commons or is my Wikinews account linked?


 * Your account should be for all wikimedia projects. And yes, with photos taken by yourself, you'll want to upload them to Commons, released under a suitable license; they don't, I believe, accept non-commercial licenses there.  Done properly, they'll end up with some sort of "my own work" tag on them.  I think they've got a good upload wizard there that should guide you through it all; I've only used it once myself, though, some time back.


 * Uploading to Wikinews is mostly for Fair Use images, which wouldn't apply if you're the photographer. (Our Fair Use policy requires the image to be from a non-news source, as using photos copyrighted by "competing" news organizations is considered "not fair" here.)  --Pi zero (talk) 23:36, 24 October 2013 (UTC)
