MediaWiki:Uploadtext

Upload a file to MEpedia in four easy steps:
 * 1) Source filename: Specify the file name used on your computer for the file you wish to upload.  This file name will become the file's page name on MEpedia.  Be sure to use a clear, descriptive name for the file, keeping in mind that people will search for the file name just as people search for other MEpedia pages.  If you want MEpedia to use a different page name, you can specify a new page name in "Destination filename".
 * 2) Summary: Provide the "attribution information" for the file.  This attribution information includes:
 * 3) Title: If the file has a title, specify it here.  If the file does not have a title, provide a brief description instead.
 * 4) Author: (required) Enter the original author/creator of the file here.  This may be a person or organization.  Alternatively, you can provide a citation that includes the author information.  If you are the author/creator, you can simply enter your MEpedia login.
 * 5) Source: (required) Enter the original internet address where this file was found.  If you created the file for MEpedia, simply enter "www.me-pedia.org".
 * 6) Other information: If there is anything unusual about the file or its copyright license, you can describe it here.  (e.g. if specific permission was granted to MEpedia, if you altered the file in some way, or if the file falls under the "fair use" exception to copyright)
 * 7) Licensing: Select the file's copyright license from the list of options.
 * 8) The original source of the file should state the license, although you sometimes have to search through their website to find the licensing information.
 * 9) If the file is a US government document, the license is "Public domain US government".
 * 10) Sometimes you can use a file without permission, such as for scholarship/research. This is called a "fair use" exception to a copyright license.
 * 11) If you created the file yourself, then you can choose the license that you want for the file.
 * 12) Upload file: Finally, click the "Upload file" button and you're done!
