Cover Page of a magazine

The template is not at all clear and is much more complex than the old form. I take a picture of a magazine cover. Does that make me the Author? If so, how do I sign - by tildes or what? or is that the design artist, or is it the publisher? This is a common enough category to require something like a boilerplate or at least help with what is supposed to go into the categories. Chemical Engineer (talk) 18:41, 22 July 2016 (UTC)

No, you're not the author, the publisher of the magazine would be. (You're making a faithful/slavish reproduction of a copyrighted work, which is not considered to create a new copyright via US law). --MASEM (t) 19:12, 22 July 2016 (UTC)
I did not want the answer, I want it made clear in the uploader. I see that once you have uploaded it, some moderately helpful information appears, which would have been useful before. If anyone else is having trouble, see Template:Non-free use rationale serial publication. Chemical Engineer (talk) 19:32, 22 July 2016 (UTC)
Agree with User:Chemical Engineer. It's much more clear how it's supposed to be done after you upload the image and see what you did incorrectly. There should be a "show preview" button or something. I'm almost tempted to fill out the required fields with gibberish and upload it so that I can edit the file page directly. Lizard (talk) 01:07, 19 August 2016 (UTC)

I need some help tonight to send a magazine cover on a Misplaced Pages profile on here. On a Misplaced Pages The National Police Gazette

What can I put something on I have on my IPhone to put it on this. Thanks Hayes Runner (talk) 04:59, 15 September 2016 (UTC)

No probs

I'm fairly WP savvy but usually get confused by the ambiguity and vagueness of file upload instructions. It's a lot clearer now. Thanks. (May still be a bit of a challenge for newbies - don't know - but at least this ten-year veteran isn't left scratching his head any more.) --Anthonyhcole (talk · contribs · email) 05:46, 19 September 2016 (UTC)
