 Just read through this page and you'll be uploading images properly in no time! If you're reading this, it's probably because you got a notice from me on your talk page, that means I'm the one who tagged one of your images for deletion, or that I linked you here, and since you came here looking for answers I'll see if I can help you out. I probably tagged an image you uploaded for deletion while patrolling, it may have subsequently been deleted, and you came by my user page or talk page to leave me a message and ask why I nominated your image for deletion. First let me assure you that I was not, in fact, the one who sent your image to the digital dustbin--that honor belongs to the administrator who deleted it, and so if you're looking to have it restored you should talk to them (their name will be listed on the deletion log for the page, which should appear if you try to edit it). For questions about image copyright not explained below, please visit the helpful folks at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. | |||

There are several major reasons I would tag an image for deletion: it is a copyright violation, it is missing licensing information, it is missing a source, it is missing permission, or it has an issue with, or is missing, a fair-use rationale, or fails any one of the 10 non-free content criteria. More details are found at the Guide to image deletion. |
