Wikipedia:Files for upload

Welcome to Files for Upload, part of WikiProject Articles for creation. This process was created to allow unregistered users to add new files to Wikipedia with the assistance of experienced Wikipedians. If you would like to upload an image yourself, you can create an account and after four days and 10 edits you will be autoconfirmed and able to upload files. However, please consider uploading free files over at Wikimedia Commons (guide here).

Reviewing requests

If you are an experienced editor, then you can help out by reviewing requests. Make sure you're familiar with Wikipedia's policies on non-free content (or simplified version). Learn about Wikipedia's various copyright tags. Read the guide on how to review file upload requests. Note that this page's editnotice contains an expandable cheat sheet with all the templates used in reviewing requests. After uploading the file tag its talk page with {{subst:WPAFCF}}. Remember to subst all templates. Notify the requester at their talk page using {{subst:ffu talk}} ~~~~ whenever you act on their request. You are responsible for anything you upload, so make sure you are comfortable that the file satisfies Wikipedia's policies first. If the file is non-free, then you must insert the file in the appropriate article right away in order to comply with the non-free content criteria.

36 Norwegian road signs

Description: 36 small images of Norwegian road signs. They are individually appropriately named.

URL: Download .zip (CRC32 in filename)

License: Public Domain {{PD-author}}

Link To License Information: Statens vegvesen

In Norwegian: “Alle skiltene kan lastes ned i ulike filformat, til bruk for bl.a. illustrasjoner og trykksaker. Filene kan fritt brukes til slike formål.” Translation: “All signs can be downloaded in different file formats and be used for e.g. illustrations and print jobs. They may be used freely for these purposes.”

Author/Copyright Holder's Name: Norwegian Public Roads Administration (Statens vegvesen)

Article To Be Used On/Reason For Upload: Road signs in Norway. Most of the road signs were uploaded by Pjacklam a while ago, but as I recently expanded the English article a few signs seemed to be missing. It turns out that these EPS files do not convert well to SVG, so Pjacklam probably skipped them. I converted the available BMP files to PNG for compression purposes.

Only the file “Norwegian-road-sign-792.31.png” was created entirely by me, as no decent digital image of that sign seems to exist. Its proportions may be slightly off as it was a speedy job, but it represents the original sign well. It's not bad, but I thought it should be mentioned to avoid people reusing it as a 100% accurate representation.
