airports
I noticed your adding airports, as thats what came up in the history. If its a builk import, you might want to consider having a importsource:username different login. I also have many airports which will be imported into Canada. ... the sourcedate will be shown, so thats one way to see which airport data is more accurate. None of the airports i plan on importing will have the ufc (or whatever its called) international airport code. but there will be a tag that showns if the airports listed in the "Canadian Flight Suppliment Guide" or not.

- Thanks for your feedback. I am not doing a bulk import. I have some automation to help me with my work list, and collecting supplemental data like the international airport codes, but I am doing each airport individually and checking the placement against Yahoo or Landsat images. I'm also drawing runways if they haven't been done yet. My supplemental data comes from wikipedia, so I put that in the source tag. Because it is legitimate manual work for each one, I'm not tagging it as a bulk import. --Amillar 14:19, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

Missing file information
Hello! And thanks for your upload - but some extra info is necessary.
Sorry for bothering you about this, but it is important to know source of the uploaded files.
Are you the author of image File:Braided-streets-example.jpg ?
Or is it copied from some other place (which one?)?
Please, add this info to the file page - something like "I took this photo" or "downloaded from -website link-" or "I took this screeshot of program XYZ".
Doing this would be already very useful.
Licensing - photos
In case that you are the author of the image: Would you agree to open licensing of this image, allowing its use by anyone (similarly to your OSM edits)?
In case where it is a photo you (except relatively rare cases) author can make it available under a specific free license.
Would you be OK with CC0 (it allows use without attribution or any other requirement)?
Or do you prefer to require attribution and some other things using CC-BY-SA-4.0?
If you are the author: Please add {{CC0-self}} to the file page to publish the image under CC0 license.
You can also use {{CC-BY-SA-4.0-self}} to publish under CC-BY-SA-4.0 license.
Once you add missing data - please remove {{Unknown|subcategory=uploader notified January 2022}} from the file page.
Licensing - other images
If it is not a photo situation gets a bit more complicated.
See Drafts/Media file license chart that may help.
note: if you took screenshot of program made by someone else, screenshot of OSM editor with aerial imagery: then licensing of that elements also matter and you are not a sole author.
note: If you downloaded image made by someone else then you are NOT the author.
Note that in cases where photo is a screenshot of some software interface: usually it is needed to handle also copyright of software itself.
Note that in cases where aerial imagery is present: also licensing of an aerial imagery matter.
Help
Feel free to ask for help if you need it - you can do it for example by asking on Talk:Wiki: new topic.
Please ask there if you are not sure what is the proper next step. Especially when you are uploading files that are not your own work or are derivative work (screenshots, composition of images, using aerial imagery etc).
If you are interested in wider discussion about handling licencing at OSM Wiki, see this thread.
