Image Licensing
Hello Azcowboy! I just wanted to leave a note for you: when uploading a screenshot from Minecraft, or an image using screenshots from Minecraft, Creative Commons Attribution cannot apply. Instead, make sure License Mojang is used, as this is the appropriate selection for these copyrighted files. Happy editing! --timrem 06:16, 27 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Thank you for telling me about the licenses. I wanted to ask, how do I change the licence of a file I uploaded? And also, wouldn't i license it to Creative Commons because its my picture, not Mojang's? –Preceding unsigned comment was added by Azcowboy (Talk&#124;Contribs) 22:34, 27 May 2012‎.

 * It looks like you figured out how to select licensing. I can only answer your second question by telling you my understanding of the licensing (I'm not that familiar with the issue). I believe that because Mojang owns Minecraft, any images of the game also fall under their copyright. As an End User, you are allowed to play the game, take screenshots, etc, but the EULA does not give you ownership of the game or its components. So, although you took the screenshot, you didn't create the content, thus you cannot release the image as Creative Commons because the content was created by Mojang (putting blocks together in a certain way doesn't count as "creating content"). Again, this is just my understanding of things, and it may be totally wrong.
 * A couple other suggestions, since you seem new to wikis:
 * Your userpage is generally where you'd put things you wish to share, like the things you've been putting on this page.
 * Your talk page (this page) is generally used for people to contact you, which is why I'm writing this here.
 * Erasing posts on a talk page is usually frowned upon, unless you are moving old comments to a separate archive.
 * When you post on a talk page, you should add  at the end of your post so people know who made the comment. When you save the page, the wiki changes the four tildes into your username and a timestamp (as you'll see at the end of my posts).
 * If you're not sure your edit will show up how you want it to, you can use the "Show preview" button. If the page doesn't look right, you can keep editing and previewing until it does before you save your changes.
 * If you have any questions at all, feel free to contact me on my talk page, or just reply to me here. Happy editing! --timrem 09:43, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
