File uploads
When uploading files (whether images or sounds), please make an effort to adhere to the upload policy. Your sound file requires a citation to an source (ie, what episode or other item is it from?), otherwise it will have to be removed. -- sulfur 22:37, March 5, 2010 (UTC)

Citations and licenses
Please cite your sources. Uncited information may be removed from articles. Licenses must be added to images. Thanks. - 19:42, April 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * Again, images need to have the appropriate license added to them. In most cases this is  .  Please also keep in mind that images from non-canon works such as games should go in the Apocrypha section.  Background is for information relating to its use in canon.--31dot 14:46, April 6, 2010 (UTC)


 * Some improvement. You've put a description on your image uploads.  Now to get the rest correct.  Please take some time to read the image use policy.  If you continue to upload images without adding license information, they will have to be removed from Memory Alpha.
 * To make it easier for you, if you're uploading images from Star Trek video games, you can use these as a starting point:


 * Just change the "Mad Doc Software" for the appropriate game developer. That license would be appropriate for Star Trek: Legacy.
 * If you continue to ignore these directions, you will be blocked until you respond here on your talk page and begin doing things properly. -- sulfur 13:35, April 10, 2010 (UTC)


 * Again with this. Please ensure that you put in the licensing stuff listed above on images from Star Trek Legacy.
 * Also, do not upload images from modifications to the games. They are not things that Memory Alpha collects and archives.  Items such as that belong on Memory Gamma or the Star Trek Expanded wikis. -- sulfur 18:54, August 26, 2010 (UTC)

Star Trek: Legacy modifications
These are not welcome here on Memory Alpha, as they are not official releases and are simply fan-made creations. Please do not upload them to Memory Alpha. -- sulfur 18:59, August 26, 2010 (UTC)

Red alert sound files
Where are these from precisely? In order to keep them, we need a source, otherwise we will have to remove the files. -- sulfur 20:45, November 25, 2010 (UTC)

Saying "fairuse" for these soundfiles is not sufficient. We need to know what episode or film they are from. Without that, they will all be removed. That includes the earlier files you uploaded. -- sulfur 21:04, November 25, 2010 (UTC)

The other two are: File:Voyager Red alert.ogg and File:TNG Red Alert.ogg. These both need episode sources. -- sulfur 21:10, November 25, 2010 (UTC)
