[edit] Image Copyrights

I have added copyright tags to several of the images you have uploaded. I guess you meant them to be under the same license as the ones you did tag. If this is not the case please let me know. I also tagged several of your image uploads as redundant images. Please only upload on copy of each image. If you have any further questions please let me know. Thanks. --Martyman-(talk) 05:54, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Categories

I am not quite sure what you mean. It looks lik eyou have done everything right to me. All you need to do is add the category to the bottom of the article and it will automatically be listed on the category page. --Martyman-(talk) 08:00, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ambigous image permission

Hi, you have uploaded Image:Macb9.jpg and Image:Macb6.jpg and tagged them with {{CopyrightedFreeUse}}, but the upload summary only says that the images are used with permission. Can you please clearify wether or not the copyright holder actualy explicitly said that anyone can use the images for any purpose (including commercial use)? Often people will give permission for something to be used on Wikipedia, but unfortunately this alone does not mean that it becomes free content (wich it needs to be in order for us to use it), so if all we have is the permission to use the image on Wikipedia we regretfully have to delete it unless we can justify it's use under our fair use policy. If you need to ask the copyright holder to clearify please read Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission first to make sure you ask for the right things.

Please look into this ASAP as I have tagged the images as "no licence" in the meantime, meaning they will get deleted in 7 days time unless the license is clearified. If you didn't get to read this before after the image was deleted don't worry; if you get the required copyright release "after the fact" we can always undelete the images. Just ask the deleting admin (check the deletion log) politely to do so, or post a undelete request at Wikipedia:Deletion review along with the nessesary copyright info. Thanks. --Sherool (talk) 21:20, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

I see you have uploaded several other images along this vein. I haven't bothered tagging them all (yet), but please fix this with the rest of your uploads too, thanks. --Sherool (talk) 21:23, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Images

Hi, no I'm afraid the problem is still there. You say the images are used by permission, but it is not clear wether or not you mean simlple "permission to use on Wikipedia" or explicit "permission to say that anyone can use the images for any purpose whatsoever". If it's just permission to use on Wikipedia it means the images are not free content and will have to be used as fair use or deleted. See Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for details. As far as I can tell this pretty much apply to all these images. --Sherool (talk) 22:52, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

I have been given permission for all of the images to be used by anyone, anywhere, any time, etc. Haven't I put up the right tags? I'm sorry I'm such a dunce. Josiewarvelle 23:05, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

Well yeah, in that case the tag is correct. You should explain that more clearly on the image pages too though, simply saying "used with permission" is ambigous. Explain in as much detail as possible how you asked for permission and what theyr reply was. If you have a copy of an e-mail exchange or something forward it to the "permissions AT wikimedia DOT org" adress. --Sherool (talk) 23:19, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

Try permissions AT wikimedia DOT org adding that plural s should help I think. --Sherool (talk) 00:14, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
