As the uploader, it is your responsibility to properly license all images&mdash;I'm afraid a lack of knowledge regarding the appropriate license is not a defensible excuse.

Depending on where the original image originates, some image hosting sites have a license, like for example, that applies to all content released on the site, a license to which all contributors are tacitly bound by virtue of hosting their content there. If applicable, that would be the license you would notate in the image description. Otherwise, you may be able to assert, provided you could conceivably make a case for it. Regardless of the circumstances, the research for both licensing & sourcing must be undertaken by the uploader.

Again, I encourage you to read through the tutorial&mdash;you will find many of the most common issues, confusions, & mistakes are address therein. You may also look at a sample image illustrating the sourcing/licensing process for a more concrete example. A listing of all relevant licensing templates may be found here. Let me know if you have any specific questions not answered in the tutorial. Thanks!
