[edit] Photos
Hi,
I noticed you've been adding your photos to numerous articles. It would be great if you are willing to release those photos under a free license; they would be a big improvement to those articles. However, if you don't want to relinquish control, I'm afraid we can't use them. Our image policy is a bit complicated but I'd be happy to answer any questions you may have. Please let me know. —Chowbok ☠ 03:17, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
Hi Danny,
You can add a copyright tag to an image page once they are uploaded. I would recommend you use {{Cc-by-sa-2.5}}, This is one of several CC licenses. This version permits free use, including commercial use; requires that you be attributed as the creator; and requires that any derivative creator or redistributor of your work use the same license. All you need to do is add the bracketed text to the image page. Thanks. --Peta 00:59, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
- I was going to respond to your note but it looks like Peta already did. I would just add that you be sure to understand the implications of licensing your images in this fashion; it means that other people will be able to modify and sell these images, without requiring further permission from you. I don't want to discourage you; it'd be great if we could have your high-quality photos, but I don't want you to make a change like this blindly. Do feel free to contact me if you have further questions. (By the way, it's helpful for everyone if you sign your comments on talk pages; an easy shortcut is just to add "~~~~ at the end of your text.) —Chowbok ☠ 03:21, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
Best thing to do is to actually edit the image as you would an article, and add this: {{cc-by-2.5}}
[edit] Other versions phrasing at Commons
That's no trouble at all. I'll make the change to your preferred wording. I haven't edited the Eddie Van Halen article since your last edit. Looking at the history, it seems an anonymous user swapped the images around, and is something that can be discussed between interested editors at Talk:Eddie Van Halen.

- Yes, absolutely, please do feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns, and thank you once again for your contributions. Jkelly 22:11, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
- Probably the best course of action is to make a case at Talk:Eddie Van Halen that the classic rock star image that you provided is a better candidate for the infobox due to,for example, the generic nature of the other one. I really don't have any personal opinion on the matter, so I won't be editing the article. I will note, nevertheless, that it probably isn't reasonable to expect the anonymous person who swapped the photos to ever respond; most edits made anonymously are spur-of-the-moment ones by people who do not follow the article closely. Jkelly 22:25, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
- Well, I can't speak to the law, and suspect that it would vary considerably by jurisdiction. More to the point, it is generally true that we will stop publishing images upon request by the creator. This isn't exactly uncontroversial, but we want, of course, to maintain good relationships with content creators. Incidentally, we cannot reasonably do this with text, however, so I'd encourage you to make sure that any text you publish here you are absolutely certain you are comfortable licensing under the GFDL! I hope that the facts that some of our contributors are argumentative or opinionated and that our methods of dealing with disputes about editing are slow and involve potentially time-consuming discussion, do not make you give up on the idea of contributing to the project. English Wikipedia is definitely something of a free-for-all, and our articles are not always representative of our best work in the short term, but it is also true that quality is generally recognised and wins out in the end. I'm afraid that I cannot really offer much more reassurance than that; I have no more editorial control than our anonymous friend who prefers the other picture, and my lack of such editorial control is deliberate!

[edit] EVH photo
As Chowbok points out in his edit, Image:Eddie Van Halen concert dgpics.jpg is present in the Wikicommons and that you deliberately put the photo out with the Creative Commons license. That means it's out in the public domain and you can't "remove authorization for photo usage." Tabercil 12:01, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Re: Roddick, Nadal, Murray, Federer, Agassi Photos, et al
Shouldn't the image be deleted first instead of mass-editing articles that have the images? That way, editors can understand what has happen. oncamera(t) 20:15, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
I would certainly welcome that as it would make matters more clear and easier for everyone. Your assistance in achieving this, and avoiding the possibility of litigation against Wiki would be most appreciated. Dannyg3332 20:18, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Image deletion
I find myself unsure how to respond to your note; I am finding it hard to reconcile your statement there with others you have made in the past, and suspect that my intelligence is being insulted. If you don't want Wikipedia using the photography from your website, I'll delete your uploads, at your request, as a courtesy to you. I will not, however, play along with individual requests to delete individual images that are suddenly discovered to be infringing some third party's copyright as soon as they are moved out of the infobox. Let me know how you would like me to proceed. Jkelly 20:16, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
Please do fell free to delete all images.Dannyg3332 20:20, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Image removal
Why did you remove the image of Elton John from his article? You left no edit summary and there was no reason I could see. —dgiestc 20:21, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
- Apologies, but all images provided are in the process of being removed from Commons due to the abundance of pansy ass wanna-be wiki admins without the backbone to take a stand against a user making up fictitious policies to justify his edits.Dannyg3332 20:26, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Deleting copyvios
Can you please advise me on how to insert the copyright violation tag ? I will apply it to all the appropriate images.Dannyg3332 20:35, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
- On Commons just place the {{copyvio|reason for deletion}} tag on the image. Replace "reason for deletion" with your reason such as "copyright violation of http://yourwebpage.com/yourimage.jpg". An administrator will then review the case and take care of it. Noticed the Federer image has already been deleted. ArthurWeasley 22:59, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
