[edit] Alabama Theatre
- Great job, Lkseitz. --Dystopos 13:22, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
- You think so? Thanks! --Lkseitz 14:08, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
- Yes. Great to pick up on the copyright violation and plagiarism and to put some time into a rewrite. Fortunately for me, your rewrite is GFDL-licensed, so it's ok for me to swipe it for my nascent project, the BhamWiki. --Dystopos 14:25, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
- Actually, I wanted to expand the entry first. It was in researching that I discovered the plagiarism. The BhamWiki project looks really interesting. I'd like to ask you some questions about it. Please send me an e-mail. You can find a link to a form to e-mail at the bottom of my user page. (Trying to avoid spam, you know.) --Lkseitz 23:14, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Alabama Theatre interior.jpg
I saw that you removed the link to Image:Alabama Theatre interior.jpg on the Alabama Theatre page because the image had been removed. Did you also remove the image itself? I just wanted to know why it was removed. Although it was copyrighted, I had received explicit permission to use the image on Wikipedia from the copyright holder and had posted such in its description (I believe). I thought this was acceptable. Am I mistaken? --Lkseitz 12:30, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
- There are two broad categories of images which are allowed on Wikipedia: free content images (GFDL, the free content Creative Commons licences, and so on), and in certain limited cases, images claimed as fair use. 'With permission' images, as they are known, may only be used on Wikipedia if they are claimed as fair use in the normal way. The reason is that if only Wikipedia has permission to use the image then downstream users are restricted, but if we use the image under a claim of fair use, then downstream users can evaluate their own position and use the image if they can make the same claim of fair use.
- In this case, I deleted the image (Image:Alabama Theatre interior.jpg) under CSD I6, images claimed as fair use but without a fair use rationale. See Help:Image page#Fair use rationale for details on what is required in this respect. If you can provide a good rationale then you can upload the image again, or I can undelete it if you don't have a copy. Note however that satisfying the fair use criteria is unlikely here given that the building is still there, and so it should be possible to create a free content photo of the theatre. --bainer (talk) 13:56, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
