[edit] Re: Lung Leg, etc.

Greetings, I saw your comment on my talk page. One problem with verifiability is that I don't know if you are "Mike Etoll," "Tom Paulson," or someone else who is posting from this IP address[1],[2]. For starters I would suggest always logging in before making edits. As long as I have your attention, I might as well address the copyright issue concerning Image:Lunginsewer.jpg. If this is indeed in the public domain, then it should be a simple matter to indicate this on the website that is hosting the original image. When I requested this, I got a response claiming that all images on such-and-such website were freely available, but when I took a look around all I found was a landscaping service (I have not checked the web site again recently). As for the picture on my User page, I won't even verify that it's a picture of me - but on the other hand I wouldn't put it in an article, either. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 20:14, 17 November 2005 (UTC)


Hello, Gyrofrog! Mike Etoll here. This image Image:Lunginsewer.jpg was posted by user Mutai and hosted by Poosa at Poosa's websiteWith full permission. (Mutai, and Poosa own the photograph and are personal friends of Lung Leg. Also, the picture was posted with her permission.

I do not understand why you are asking me to verify the copyright on a photograph that I did not post, and I do not own. Do you want me to post this disclaimer (shown below) on the page that the picture is hosted on even though Mutai submitted the photo to Wikipedia? Mike Etoll 01:01, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

If you and User:Mutai are not the same person, then I've made a mistake, and I apologize. That was the impression I had after following some other discussions. Thus, I thought you might have something to do with one or both of the websites where this image is hosted. Again, sorry for the mistaken identity. If the webmaster(s) want to freely share their photos, then it would be a good idea to say so on their website (just like they should specify anything they don't allow to be copied). I don't want them to do anything for my sake, it's just a good idea and it makes things easier on Wikipedians where other people's copyrights are concerned.
