East Cotswolds
Hi Nick - have added a brief note to the area page. Hopefully will expand more in future. Curiously I think I was cycling from Charlbury to Oxford (with GPS) on the same day you were doing Oxford to Bicester. :) --Richard 22:59, 3 Sep 2006 (BST)
- I think we should have all the sane cycle routes between Charlbury and Oxford done pretty soon now! -- Gagravarr 23:28, 3 Sep 2006 (BST)
Railways
I've noticed you editing the railway page, So i'll ask your opion on this. Should:-
- 1) railway lines have 1 way for the total amount of lines in a group, or
- 2) railway lines have 1 way per 2 rails, 1 for each direction
- 3) railway lines have 1 way for each line.
My example, is the MK line wich is 4 tracks, 2 sets of 2, wich make up 1 set. Thanks Ben. 12th/11/2006 (UTC)
- I'd go with a single way, down the middle of all 4 tracks, with "tracks=4" set. If the tracks ever diverged a lot (eg slow lines on one bridge, fast lines on another), I'd split that out into two ways with "tracks=2", then merge them back when they're running parallel again.

oops. I managed to revert the image for the uk railways map you just uploaded, and I can't work out how to un-revert it. Welshie 14:59, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
- Doh! I've re-uploaded it again Gagravarr 15:20, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
Ahoy! Gagravarr
I see that you added some tracks in Ontario. Let me know if you'll be around again. Rw 02:24, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
- I suspect it won't be for a year or two, it's quite a trek from Oxford! Gagravarr 11:29, 11 March 2007 (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:Charlbury-svg-20060918.png ?
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 February 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.

(sorry if I missed something that already states license and source: I am looking through over 20 000 files and fixing obvious cases on my own, in other I ask people who upladed files, but it is possible that I missed something - in such case also please answer)
