As I
showed my edits in last class, I wanted to add a picture of Korean actor on
English Wikipedia. I found the picture on Korean Wikipedia, but I didn’t
realize that the picture is only on Korean Wikipedia not on Wikimedia Commons. It
didn’t work on English Wikipedia and I didn’t why. After last class, I notified
the uploader of the picture on his talk page and uploaded the picture on Wikimedia
Commons. But it took a warning massage for deletion because of uncertain copyright
license. I thought that it is okay with the Korean Wikipedia article’s link,
however it was not enough. So I asked for help to Galadrian to solve this problem.
He suggested that this picture should be deleted even that on Korean Wikipedia.
I think some pictures of the uploader can be deleted since his pictures’
copyright did not be confirmed.
It is great to add many pictures on Wikipedia, but it is more
important to pay attention to copyright. Copyright license allows other people
to use and share pictures, and I think this should be the purpose of uploading
pictures on Wikipedia.
