[edit] Help request

I've added a few photos I have taken myself. I don't really mind putting them under the GNU lisence, but I don't want people to use them for commercial use. How can I stop this?

I think you want one of the Creative_Commons_Licenses. It's explained at Creative Commons License.--Commander Keane 14:21, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

Actually, if you want photos on the Wikipedia it has to be on a license which is okay for commercial use. You'll have to waive that right on that photo to Wikimedia. Computerjoe 15:14, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

I've put a few of my own photos up in Wiki. I don't really mind if people want to use them for their own personal use, but I don't want them to use my photos for commercial use. Someone kindly suggested using Creative Commons lisences, but the types that are available for use on Wiki don't cover non-commercial use. Thanks in advance for any advice.

• Unfortunately what you are requesting really goes against the grain of what Wikipedia is about, creating a free encyclopaedia, so such restrictions are not permitted. You could however consider one of the creative commons sharealike attribution licenses, which mean anyone commercially using the image would need to credit you, make sure that others knew they could use the image under the same terms, and release any changes they made to the image under the same license. --pgk^(talk) 15:30, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Help

I just uploaded new versions of my photos to Wiki under new filenames. How do I delete the old files? Thanks in advance.

Use the ifd template. If they aren't linked to any page, they will be deleted in a week or two anyway. (Arundhati Bakshi (talk • contribs)) 12:01, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] RIAT images

Hi, I was wondering whether you could upload your RIAT pictures to Wikimedia Commons, so the gallery section of the RIAT article can be moved there. --GW_Simulations_{|User Page | Talk | Contribs | E-mail} 19:38, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

I liked your refuelling image of a Pave Low. I added it to the Pave Low site--PremKudva^Talk 11:15, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Please consider adding LynxHAS3.jpg to commons

Hi. Would you please consider adding LynxHAS3.jpg to the Wikimedia Commons and the category Westland Lynx there? That way all the wikipedia-projects can benefit from your photo and more photos of this subject can be found at the same place. Kind regards Hebster (talk) 16:44, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
