Regarding edits made to 2007 Boston Mooninite Scare
[edit]Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia, Bmtpromo! However, your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove spam from Wikipedia. If you were trying to insert a good link, please accept my creator's apologies, but note that the link you added, matching rule \.photobucket\.com\/, is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. Please read Wikipedia's external links policy for more information. If the link was to an image, please read Wikipedia's image tutorial on how to use a more appropriate method to insert the image into an article. If your link was intended to promote a site you own, are affiliated with, or will make money from inclusion in Wikipedia, please note that inserting spam into Wikipedia is against policy. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! Shadowbot 20:07, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
Photobucket
[edit]Photobucket is not an appropriate site to link to. Do you have a reliable source with the same pictures/video? Leebo86 20:25, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
Re:Adding Photos
[edit]You can add a photo directly into the article by clicking "Upload File" on the sidebar and following the instructions outlined at Wikipedia:Uploading images. Then you would add the link to the article. Be aware, though, that all images need to be released under a proper license or they need to have a good fair use rationale. Images that don't have licensing information or a source will get deleted. Wikipedia can't use images that are protected by copyright unless they are handled carefully. I don't know who created the pictures you want to add, but keep that in mind. Leebo86 23:15, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
Re:Photos
[edit]That's excellent that you took the photos. That makes everything a ton easier, usage-wise. Basically, it's standard, when you want to include photos, to upload them to Wikipedia and link to the photo page within the site. By linking to Photobucket, the reader has to go to an unverifiable personal website. There are similar (though slightly different) views on linking to things like Youtube and MySpace; user-generated content sites are generally avoided for external links. Did you look at the link for Wikipedia:Uploading images? That should cover all the steps. I can help you if you have a specific problem with those instructions. Leebo86 18:36, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
- By "the page is not updated" do you mean the Boston scare article? You'll need to add the link to the photo directly to the article (see my example here), and no you don't need approval to upload the photo or add it to the article, but you could propose its addition to the talk page first if you want other editors' opinions.

- Hmm, do you possibly have a higher resolution version of this? It's very small. I was at work before and they block images, so I couldn't see it. Leebo86 03:06, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

Photo
[edit]Copy and paste this [[image:101 0074.JPG|thumb]] into the article where you want the picture to be. It will look like this when you do. Hope that helps. Leebo86 18:11, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
