P.S. By the way, I noticed you added some stuff about Massachusetts politics - are you from Western Mass? I'm from Northampton, originally.

I am indeed from Western Mass. Thank you. --Fenian Heresiarch 14:04, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wendy Van Horne / VanHorne

Oh great, thanks for letting me know. I had often forgotten whether there was a space in her lastname, the one i made was just a placeholder stub to get it started, i'll just make it redirect to yr article with the correct spelling. Alex 12:17, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:WendyVanHorne.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:WendyVanHorne.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

[edit] re: Image:OwenPhoto.jpg

Per WP:C, Images are allowed on Wikipedia under these conditions:

  1. If the image is released totally, irrevocably, and permanantly into the public domain. That means that anyone can use the image for any purpose, including making prints and selling them for profit, using the image in material that deprecates the subject, displaying an altered version of the image,etc.; and that no attribution need be given.
  2. Under the GDFL license, which pretty much amounts to the same thing plus some legal mumbo-jumbo.
  3. If it's being used for "fair use", which is kind of complicated, but basically if the photo is used to illustrate a point being made in the text of the article. We like to avoid fair use images whenever possible and probably will eventually (years ahead) get rid of all of them, but in the meantime it's allowed if (1) it's important to the article and (2) there's no equivilant free image available.

Since (at this moment) the image isn't being used in any article, it can't be fair use -- fair use exists only in the context of the article. We don't allow images that might be used in a fair use way in the future to hang around, it would be impossible to police all that. And rights and requirements for attribution are expressly attached to the image.

So the image will have to be deleted, absent some information you can give me about why it should stay. If you want to re-upload the image, releasing your rights to the public domain or GDFL, that will be OK. And/or if you create an article that uses the image in a fair use way (but under no conditions will we ever use an image that requires attribution), that would be OK also.
