Intro[edit]

WN:YOURPHOTO points here, if you're doing any interviews where you're not taking pictures ask for them. Remember we need to get a license sorted out and the Commons OTRS people should help out once the photo is mailed. This is a page you can give a http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/WN:YOURPHOTO link to or, as it says, simple instructions to get to this page.

Expansion[edit]

I've got the two I could think of featured on this - mainly because the use of pictures on the page should help encourage submissions. Suggestions on how to lay out that section of the page welcome, as well as any others where the subject has given a photo. --Brian McNeil / talk 11:09, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

How does it work in practice?[edit]

I have sent an e-mail to a subject of a Wikinews article, asking them to e-mail and release under CC-BY-SA-3.0 images to photosubmission@wikimedia.org.

But what happens next? I asked them to CC me if and when they send the e-mail. I presume that someone at the photosubmission address will upload it to Commons with an OTRS ticket, but how will I know when that happens? And how will I know what the file name is so I can include it in the article? Cheers, --SVTCobra 23:53, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
