A little help would be appreciated

Just signed up tonight, and I tried uploading some images in accordance with the law. Seems I may have made a few mistakes in copyright tags. I am in no way Wiki-literate, so would it be too much to ask for some tips to help me give credit where it's due and possibly avoid a lawsuit or banishment from the wiki? Thank you in advance.

Hello, and welcome to Grand Theft Wiki! Thank you for joining and for your contributions. I hope you intend to stay! Regarding the uploaded images, they're perfectly fine, they just need to have the screenshot template added to them. To do this, just click "Edit this Page" at the top left of the image's description page. This page should have appeared after your uploaded each image. Once in the edit window, type in the code {{screenshot}} (complete with brackets) in a new line (use carriage returns to separate from the description you put in).
Also, make sure to try and categorize each image appropriately. The ones you uploaded should go into Vehicles and Vehicles in GTA IV. To do this, while in the edit window, type in the code [[Category:Vehicles]], followed by another line with [[Category:Vehicles in GTA IV]] underneath. This will automatically categorize the image, which should become evident at the bottom of the description window after saving.
Please do not hesitate to let me know if you have any questions or any more problems. I am here to help. Happy editing! Eganio^Talk 09:35, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

Thank you Eganio for your helpful advice and positive demeanor. I have successfully corrected all discrepancies and am more confident in my Wiki skills. I look forward to being a regular contributor here. Gman harmon 16:45, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

Just to add to Ed's pointers - you can see a list of different copyright templates for images here - you would use those instead of {{screenshot}} where appropriate. Also, check out our Help section, which has guidance on Images, Categories and a few other things. It's great to see more people adding images, they really do add value and context to articles. I hope that helps, and again any questions point them our way! Thanks - Gboyers ^talk 21:28, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
