[edit] Black Triangle Image Removed

I took the images down. That isn't the website where it came from, but if it's going to cause problems then I'll remove it. I got those images from Google Images origianlly which I heard was public domain. If the admins from Whyfiles are gonna cry about them being used on Wikipedia then they should cry to Google as well. They even have images on their own site that are everywhere on the net, exp the Phoenix Lights videoimage which from a Phoenix TV newscast and the Ans Belgium photo which has appeared in the press and on televison documentaries. Whyfiles is full of crap about sole ownership of these and probably everything else on their site. SkeezerPumba 02:19, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Apparently the people at the whinefiles.com aren't satistfied. They posted there again saying the images WERE (past tense) taken from their site, even after I removed them. I emailed the owner of the page and asked what the problem is, if in fact it is they who are doing this. It may be someone posing as them, not sure. We'll see. SkeezerPumba 21:23, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I talked to the owner of the site. He not only wanted the images removed but now he says some of the text I put there was taken from his site as well, which it wasn't, but I am negotiating a compromise for all this with him. I guess he'll stop vandalizing the page, so we'll see what happens. SkeezerPumba 02:45, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
