[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:John_Durkin.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:John_Durkin.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).
The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images on Wikipedia is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}
.
Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. You can get help on image copyright tagging from Wikipedia talk:Image copyright tags. -- Carnildo 23:34, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Bach's cross
I asked on the Bach talk page a while ago why it should have been retained. No one answered, so I removed it.
There's no information in the main text or in the caption justifying its inclusion. What does it add to the article? What are its historical roots?

- I believe it's mainly an alternative presentation of the BACH motif in four different keys which shows why this is a cruciform. Although I haven't found any source for this, I think the creator of the image wanted to show how this motif can be a cruciform. Icons are usually used in Bach music ([1]) and this, though without citation, can be an iconic representation. Anyway, I'm doing more research on this. In any case you can change the picture with Image:B-a-c-h.svg which is the same motif but in one single key. --Shervinafshar 15:12, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's Farsi References
Shervinafshar,
On the Mahmoud Ahmadinejad page, an editor has added the {{citecheck}} tag because the article relies on links in Farsi. There are a total of 15 citations which are written in Farsi which he has added the {{check}} tag to. Would you be able to, or do you know someone who could or somewhere to post a request, to check these citations? I would be more than happy to return the favor for any article that you would need a hand with. Thanks! Vir4030 20:22, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
