[edit] Image:Hassan Allam.PNG

I answered your Help desk question. But I am concerned about where you got Image:Hassan Allam.PNG. How do you know that the image is released under a Creative Commons licence? Do you own the image and/or website? If so, please explain that on the image description page.--Commander Keane 10:41, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

Hi Commander Keane,

Yes I own the image. I will update the image description. Thanks a lot for your help.--Hussein M Allam 10:44, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
OK, also please email permissions AT wikimedia DOT org explaining that you own the image (and ideally put the licence on the image on your website). This is so we don't still get confused that the image is copyrighted.--Commander Keane 10:52, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
I have emailed them as you requested. Hoever, I don't understand what you mean when you say that I should put the license on the image on my website. How do I do that?--Hussein M Allam 10:58, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
Did you make the photography, or is Hassan Allam someone from your family? Or you just downloaded the photo? --Timichal 12:23, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
Hi Timichal, Hassan Allam was my grandfather.


By putting the licence on the image on my website, I just meant it would be good if it said that the image was licensed Creative Commons at http://www.allamsons.com/about.htm. It may not be essential.--Commander Keane 15:09, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Fouad el Mohandes.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Fouad el Mohandes.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.
