[edit] Photographs by Mike Ingalls for TheSabre.Com
Greetings! I noticed the excellent photographs — Image:Scott-stadium.jpg and Image:Virginia-Cavalier-mascot.jpg — by Mike Ingalls you uploaded to Wikipedia. How did you get those images? They're excellent! If you are in contact with Mr. Ingalls, would you ask if he would consider licensing them under the CC-BY-2.5 license (Template:Cc-by-2.5)? It provides similar contractual conditions as those stipulated on the image description page, but it is more free to move around on Wikimedia projects. In particular, I think the images would be great to upload them to Wikimedia Commons, but I would feel much more comfortable doing that if they were CC-BY-2.5. Thank you very much! --Iamunknown 06:20, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
- Sorry – not similar enough to re-license them that way. Uris 16:37, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

- I've just seen your discussion: I've already uploaded the pictures to the Commons. (And yes, I've asked at the Help Desk about the licenses, and they said they're fine.) BTW, Uris, if those should happen to be your pictures--great stuff. Otherwise best greetings to Mike Ingalls, same comment! --Ibn Battuta 19:09, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Photographs of UVa, esp. of the pavilions
Hi Uris, as you seem to be very active about the UVa article on the English Wikipedia, I thought I'd try my luck: Do you happen to be at UVa and would be willing to take some pictures (or know someone who might)? I've already posted my request on the discussion page of the UVa article, but thought I'd try asking you directly: Any chance of getting pictures of the pavilions? As I said, I'd love to get pictures of each single pavilion, so one could set up something like in this article on the Spanish Wikipedia to convey a good impression of the Lawn and its architectural importance. (I'm currently also asking the library about some Holsinger pictures, but it seems the respective pics were taken by Ralph Holsinger, in which case they'd still be copyrighted; besides, the library is far from having images of all pavilions...) Thanks in advance for your help, Ibn Battuta 19:09, 17 March 2007 (UTC) PS: Great article so far, the one about UVa! While I agree that there should be more sources for a featured article, I really like your choice of content (incl. its limitations).
- In case you should know some German--the first shot at a new version on the German Wikipedia is now up (with the section about the campus still being in its very early days). Feedback would be very much appreciated. :o) Looking forward to hearing from you about the possibility of pictures... --Ibn Battuta 10:33, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

- Hello, unfortunately I no longer live in the Charlottesville area. That may change in the future! Uris 01:14, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

- Too bad, but thanks for the info! And lucky you, in case it should change. :o) [Though I've now seen that some of the other pictures you uploaded hint that you aren't too bad off at the moment either...] Cheers, Ibn Battuta 05:53, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
