Thanks for the article! :) Ovinus (talk) 02:21, 23 October 2022 (UTC)Reply
of course! Mind if I ask a question?
How exactly am I supposed to go about adding album covers to infoboxes again? I know to upload the file to wikimedia commons, and how non-free covers can still be used when there’s no substitute and a valid reason for having them, but when I try to upload a file into an infobox, it asks me to check off a box saying I have the rights to the picture, which obviously in these cases I don’t. However, there’s obviously gotta be a legitimate way to upload album covers into articles since the vast majority of album articles do have them. Am I missing something? Thanks!

Good question. Don't upload non-free images to Wikimedia Commons, as they aren't allowed there; instead, upload them here, on Wikipedia. See Wikipedia:File Upload Wizard and click the white "Upload a non-free file" button, and follow the steps there. Unlike Commons, Wikipedia accepts limited use of non-free files. If you're curious about the nitty gritty, WP:NFCC lists the rules, but an album cover is usually okay. Hope that helps! Ovinus (talk) 02:55, 23 October 2022 (UTC)Reply

@Ovinus: I might have meant Wikipedia, not Wikipedia Commons. Not sure, but I’ll use those links. Thanks! Elephantranges (talk) 03:35, 23 October 2022 (UTC)Reply

@Ovinus: Hey, sorry, one more question.
So I uploaded images for the covers of Ghosts of the Forest, Lonely Trip, and Mercy, everything went well except when I added them to the infobox, they're a bit too big and I'm not exactly sure how to make them appear smaller in their respective articles. Checked the source for other articles to see what they did differently but found nothing. Any help would be appreciated, thanks! Elephantranges (talk) 04:10, 23 October 2022 (UTC)Reply
Nevermind, realized I just have to remove the [[ ]] surrounding the file name. Elephantranges (talk) 04:18, 23 October 2022 (UTC)Reply
Cool. Yes, the template does some internal processing that means the brackets aren't necessary. And no need to apologize for asking questions! Ovinus (talk) 04:20, 23 October 2022 (UTC)Reply

Hi, I have another question about album art images.
So I went through a couple of articles recently and replaced their (very low quality) album art images with some higher resolution ones, using the wizard and doing everything the right way (as far as I can tell).
The new images are showing in the infoboxes, but why is it that when I click on them to zoom in, it then shows the older, lower-quality versions of the images? And is there anything I can do to fix this? Thanks Elephantranges (talk) 23:29, 31 May 2023 (UTC)Reply
