[edit] Charles Asgill
I have responded over at Wikipedia:New user log#Arbil44. You got reverted above because you posted an email address and new users who do that are often spammers. Pomte 11:20, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
- Actually, the copyright of that picture may have expired since it's so old. See Public domain#British law. It's better to ask an expert; I am not familiar with these policies. Pomte 14:00, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the information and for sorting the 1st Baronet. I really wish we were able to upload the pictures but the National Army Museum, who hold the copyright, say that I can only upload the image if I pay them a fee because they are a charity organisation and have to make their money somehow. Since I really want to find out where that Thomas Phillips portrait is located now it would be so much better for it to be shown on this site.
So far as the 1st image is concerned - I purchased an original copy of the sketch, so I own it myself. Because the New York Public Library own the copyright of that image, I took a photograph of my own copy, but when I tried to upload my own photograph of the picture, I got a message to say that it was not authorised to be uploaded.
Honestly, people have to be much more computer-literate than I am to cope with the Wikipedia website - it is frankly a nightmare.

[edit] Message from Arbil44
Please will someone give help on the site for Sir Charles Asgill, 1st Baronet. It is listed as an entry without sources, and yet sources are given. I have no idea how to deal with this, nor whether I am replying in the correct fashion.
The site for Sir Charles Asgill, 2nd Baronet probably needs to be looked over too to check that all is in order.
The images we have for both Asgill's are protected by copyright laws and it is simply too much to cope with the intricacies of this website, together with copyright laws. The images will have to stay off. The National Army Museum wants £45 to give permission for the Turner mezzotint to be used and I cannot afford this.--Arbil44 17:56, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
- I have removed the box that says it is without sources. As long as all the information is correct, the articles can wait to become formatted well. Sorry to hear about the £45 fee, that seems a bit odd. Pomte 18:36, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
Well, I have, I think, uploaded a photograph of Captain Charles Asgill (2nd Baronet) which I have taken myself of an engraving which I purchased myself - surely this gives me the right to use the picture doesn't it? I mean, I PURCHASED the picture!! I have absolutely no idea how to link it to the article I wrote. Are you able to find the photograph and link it in the proper place on the article?

[edit] License tagging for Image:BD - Photo of MY picture of Asgill.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:BD - Photo of MY picture of Asgill.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.
For more information on using images, see the following pages:
This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 00:07, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

I'm seeing what the policy is here Megapixie 21:32, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
I have responded to you directly. After you read what I've said, let me know what you would like. Okay? Jkelly 23:28, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Blanked
Hey you blanked my post. I hope it was an error on your part. =Nichalp «Talk»= 10:09, 31 March 2007 (UTC) I am really sorry. I do not know quite what I did, but I do know that I find this site difficult to navigate etc. I am not much good on computers and hope you will accept my apologies for anything I inadvertently did wrong. Thanks and sorry! --Arbil44 14:53, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Charles Asgill
Hi, I added that image back to the article, I put it in the top image location, although it can be somewhere else also. I didn't know where you wanted it. Sorry for all the confusion regarding licensing. UK licensing can be somewhat confusing at times. :) Anyway, I think it's public domain, so no complex licensing at all :) Thanks again for getting this image for wikipedia. If you have any other questions please let me know on my talk page, or on the Wikipedia:Media copyright questions page. :) - cohesion 00:45, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
- Since this is public domain it can be on wikimedia commons, I've uploaded it there also [1] - cohesion 00:55, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
Hi thanks for your help Cohesion. It's a while since I logged in! I have checked out another article, about Admiral Sir Charles Ogle (brother-in-law of the above Sir Charles Asgill) and I see that the Ogle entry says that it has no sources. I have changed "references" to "Sources" since I know the author of this entry personally and her Portsmouth Paper, written by her (Pam Moore) is the source! Please can the box at the top of the entry be removed now? it can be found at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sir_Charles_Ogle%2C_2nd_Baronet ---Arbil44 23:26, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
I have another question please. On my Sir Charles Asgill, 2nd Baronet page I have an image at the end of the entry in the "Images" section. This is a photograph I took myself of that engraving which I own. The New York Public Library has a much better copy of this image and there is a link to it right by the picture. Is there any reason why I would not be allowed to copy and upload the NYPL image and remove the rather poor quality photographed image which is currently there? What are the copyright aspects to this, or the reproduction rights? Would I have to pay the NYPL to use a copy of their image. My entry regarding all this reads: "1786 engraving April 1, 1786 engraving. The New York Public Library holds a copy of an image[4] an independent copy of which is to the right. An engraving which was published on April 1, 1786, as an illustration in John Andrews’ book, History of the War with America, France, Spain, and Holland: Commencing in 1775 and Ending in 1783, 4 vols. (London: J. Fielding, 1785-86)." If it is acceptable to change the 1786 engraving to one obtained from he NYPL, would someone capable of making the change do so for me as I find the technicalities difficult? Thank you.--Arbil44 00:07, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
