[edit] CHIC
Hey, thanks for your contribution to this article. With regards to whether the band is disco or another kind...I haven't the first clue. I just copied the first sentence of the article, essentially. Thanks for changing it! JHMM13 (T | C) 04:23, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Pictures
Thanks for your many contributions to the CHIC articles; obviously you are someone who knows this history well. One thing -- we must be very careful at Wikipedia about using copyrighted pictures, because we allow others to copy and use our material as well, and we are a non-profit foundation that cannot afford to be sued for violating people's copyrights. The pictures you uploaded for Tony Thompson are not ones we can legitimately use in Wikipedia unless the photographer has explicitly agreed in writing to license them under a GFDL or Creative Commons license (see image copyright tags -- just because they're in a tour program doesn't make them "promotional photos", unfortunately. Usually our best bet for usable celebrity photos is something that was included in a press kit -- the kind bands send out to newspapers and deejays and such when a new album is released. If you can track down some of those, please upload them, and include the photographer's name and the date of the press kit (if available). I'm sorry, but the ones that you have already uploaded may eventually need to be deleted; our image use policy is tricky to master, but it's been carefully worked out to help us put out the best possible free encyclopedia that we can, and I thank you for your help with that goal. — Catherine\talk 01:59, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
