Hi,

Thanks for being a reference point for new users. Wikipedia although getting better, is still somewhat daunting to a "newbie".

Im having troubles with placing an image into the article (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Mbangert/Pneumolysin):

- How can I place a box around the picture with figure legend and align right
- How can I add information to the picture information?

Thanks for any help.

: Logos fall under the category of [[WP:NFC|Non-free content]] as they are not under a "free" license (meaning anyone can do whatever they want with them, i.e. free as in freedom). They can be used as long as a fair use rationle is used and the [[WP:NFCC|non-free content crietria]] are followed. Generally this means that whatever logo is uploaded should be low resolution (which around here usually means not excessively high resolution) and must be used on an article. Generally svg vectored logos are preferred to actual raster images. To vector an image you need a program like [[Adobe Illustrator]] or [[Inkscape]]. You should also see the [[WP:LOGO|logo guideline]]. Please note that if a fair use rationale is not supplied the file will almost certainly be deleted after 7 days. --[[User:nn123645|nn123645]] ([[User talk:nn123645|talk]]) 12:38, 11 June 2011 (UTC)

Using logo on pages

[edit]

Hi, I've been trying to find out the rules and regulations regarding uploading logos. Can I use a logo, available from the website of a UK charity organisation, to add to their wiki page? Thanks for any help, Mbangert (talk) 11:57, 11 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
