[edit] Re: A problem with this photo??

Hi, Chuck! The image hasn't been deleted at all; on the contrary, somebody was nice enough to move it to Wikimedia Commons, where all Wikimedia projects can use it as opposed to only the English Wikipedia. Thanks for contributing high-quality photography! east.718 at 04:15, May 28, 2008

[edit] Pygmy hippos

Hi Chuck, I love your pygmy hippo photos! I noticed you released one pygmy hippo photo into the public domain. Did you want this photo: Image:Pygmy hippopotamus hungry.jpg to be in the public domain as well? These are really cool photos. I didn't know any conservancies in Kenya kept pygmy hippos--it's pretty far outside their natural range. Do you happen to know how many are there? --JayHenry (talk) 21:06, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the clarification. It's an easy fix, I just wanted to make sure that was your intention to release both. The images are both good to go now. I've looked at your other pictures and think they're great. It's difficult to find photos of animals outside of zoos. Thanks so much for these beautiful additions! --JayHenry (talk) 22:33, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
Ooh, I love those giraffe photos too! A tip for creating new articles: you'll want to make sure that you have some reliable sources when you create the article. For articles like you suggested, other editors will want to see information in newspaper articles or magazines or journals, probably. This can be tricky and even a bit frustrating. Generally, other editors will want to make sure the sources are completely independent. (Which means you can't use the Web sites of the organizations as the main source of information; otherwise, people could make up a Web site with fake information and then create a fake article!) Good luck and definitely let me know if there's anything I can help with. --JayHenry (talk) 23:19, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Carlo valtrain.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:Carlo valtrain.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Sdrtirs (talk) 10:52, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

That image is now superfluous and can be deleted in any case. The version in-use is located at the Haitian language Wikipedia. It is certainly a legitimate photo, with permission from both the photographer and its subject. I would delete it myself but I don't see exactly how. I apologize for doing this wrongly!!
