Just telling myself off for uploading a picture without checking the copyright! Now flagged for deletion. It was Image:Brighton_sewers_thumbnail.jpeg --Smiker 09:36, 17 September 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Image tags
Just curious to know what the importance is with all the images that are being changed from {{logo}} to {{logo|Academic institution logos}}. I've written a number of school articles, and I've seen you change a few of the logo tags. If I understood/knew about this, I could make certain any future school article logos are tagged appropriately. --Stephane Charette 13:37, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

You're right. The Crown Copyright template is not acceptable for this image. Images which use that template must come from a source which permits reproduction. However there are many UK government logos under the basic logo tag and I think this is acceptable here. Mark83 23:02, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

How is stating the fact that Jonathan King is a child sex offender vandalism? He is it's a fact! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.151.76.144 (talk) .
- My response: Unfortunately, it was the placement of the information that was at issue. The details are recorded on the page at Jonathan King along with a number of other details. The place for the 'facts' will be the article, not as additional text to the links. Smiker 18:13, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for replying. Still think it's important that people who live in the area and have kid's should be aware of the risks. King has recently been banned from youtube and myspace trying to big up his celeb status. He's also used props such as stuffed toys and boasted about his fan mail from kid's. Surely still a potential risk. I'd want to know if I was living next door to him.
