[edit] Good work

I just wanted to compliment you on your good work on pages like Manasir, Dar al-Manasir, and Ibrahim 'Ali Salman . Our coverage of the Sudan is very lacking and it is great to have more articles. They are not yet perfectly in keeping standard Wikipedia formatting, one tip is that we do not generally put names in all caps as you do in the references section. The photos you are adding are especially impressive, but I am not clear on their copyright status. To be added to Wikipedia images must be released on a free license. The most popular such license is the GFDL. To release an image under the GFDL simply add {{GFDL}} to the image description page. A list of other possible license can be found at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags. - SimonP 21:24, Jun 8, 2005 (UTC)

Hello again, thank you for so quickly responding to my concerns about image copyright and page formatting. I am currently working on some of the articles relating to Christian Nubia, especially the Makuria article. We are very much lacking images in this area, and seeing your other contributions I was wondering if you have any pictures of Christian era sites or artifacts that you would be willing to release under the GFDL. - SimonP 13:14, July 24, 2005 (UTC)


[edit] Image Tagging Image:Aghurmi.jpg

Warning sign
This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Aghurmi.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. nixie 05:08, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Masirah shiri.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:Masirah shiri.JPG. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Thank you. BRossow 01:46, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Images in general

Hi, I just wanted to ask about your images in general - I notice that you added GFDL notice to Masirah shiri.JPG, then took it away, and in general some of your images say GFDL, and some don't. We want to use the tag template {{GFDL}} instead, because that helps automate the tracking of what is now over a half-million images. So, for the benefit of people fixing up tags, what is your general intent - do you want all your uploads to be GFDL, or just some of them, or what? Thanks for any input!

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Donkey saddle haraz.JPG)

Warning sign
This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Donkey saddle haraz.JPG. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that your image can be used under a fair use license. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If your image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why your image was deleted. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Shyam (T/C) 22:53, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Other images from your homepage

Hi David Haberlah
Would it be OK for you to upload other images from your homepage for Wikipedia? Could you upload your images of the Beja in the Red Sea Hills, or would I be allowed to do this (under the same license as you have used so far) on the Wikimedia Commons, so that all Wikipedias can use your images?
