[edit] Permission for Image:Kenyan_man_2.jpg

I was wondering if you could send the permission you have for this photo and all other photos from Sam's Exotic Travel Photos along with a link to the image page(s) to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org. If you don't this beautiful image (and any others with the same source that I find) will unfortunately have to be deleted in 7 days. Thanks in advance, Yonatan ^talk 23:49, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Greetings. I am also an administrator on Commons. The image page itself already links to here, which includes copies of the e-mails. I also forwarded the e-mails to permissions. – Quadell ^{(talk) (random)} 12:34, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Do you happen to have the OTRS ticket number? Yonatan ^talk 16:58, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

No, I just forwarded the e-mails when you brought it to my attention, and they haven't responded yet. – Quadell ^{(talk) (random)} 17:12, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

I got it now. The OTRS ticket number is 2007031910013307. – Quadell ^{(talk) (random)} 14:11, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks ;) Yonatan ^talk 14:16, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Question on LightningVolt deep blue sea picture

I was hoping to use the deep blue see pic that you had submitted but wanted to make sure that permission had been granted by the author, Lars Lentz. His web site appears to sell this image via iStockPhoto. Has he licensed it under the CC x SA license? Thanks, jay —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jayedees (talk • contribs) 01:50, 22 March 2007 (UTC).

I can't find the image you're referring to. Could you link to it? – Quadell ^{(talk) (random)} 12:29, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Sure. That link is http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:LightningVolt_Deep_Blue_Sea.jpg

Okay, thanks. Yes, it's available under cc-by-sa-1.0, as I have now documented at Commons:Image talk:LightningVolt Deep Blue Sea.jpg. This is true of all LightningVolt's images. – Quadell ^{(talk) (random)} 15:16, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

I appreciate the effort all of you at the wikimedia commons put into veryifying media rights. Thanks for the help. Incidentally, my site is [1]storytop.com It lets you create cartoon-like stories using public domain, CC and similarly licensed artwork. With each picture I try to carefully cite the author and other relevant data. Jay

Hey, no problem. :) I also left a note on all the other images from the same source. By the way, your page is great! It's a great idea, and it's really well executed. – Quadell ^{(talk) (random)} 14:07, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] GFDL tag on Image:Albaa.jpg

Hello, Quadell. I noticed that way back in October 2004 you placed a {{GFDL}} tag on Image:Albaa.jpg, without giving any apparent reason for doing so. I'm curious to know why this was done. Perhaps the image was uploaded before the modern profusion of image copyright tags, and in that age images (like text) were assumed to be licensed under the GFDL by virtue of having been uploaded at all? —Bkell (talk) 05:15, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Greetings. This photo was created by Uwe Kils, and was uploaded by the photographer (copyright holder). At the time he uploaded the image, there was a notice on the image upload page stating that if you hold the copyright to an image, you must release it under the GFDL in order for us to use it. (This was back in the days before image copyright tags.) So Kils implicitly granted permission for it to be licensed under the GFDL.

Thank for going through these old images. It's double-checkers like you that keep Wikipedia from devolving into a sea of copyright violations. – Quadell ^{(talk) (random)} 14:06, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the explanation. I assumed the reason was something like that. —Bkell (talk) 06:41, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Revived discussion concerning fair use in portals

I am contacting everyone who participated in the discussion that became inactive in December. Due to the length of the previous discussion, I have proposed a new amendment and you like you to weigh in so that we may actually have a consensus on this matter as it doesn't seem there exists one either way. -ΖαππερΝαππερ ^Babel_Alexandria

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Hackett.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Hackett.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Selket ^Talk 08:08, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
