[edit] License tagging for Image:Downtown Binghamton at Night.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Downtown Binghamton at Night.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.

[edit] Binghamton photos needed

Hi Dcamin -- I've edited an article about Binghamton's National Historic Landmark: the New York State Inebriate Asylum. It's an odd landmark, and it may be run down and abandoned, but it deserves a recent picture. I added pics recently for Utica State Hospital perhaps a similar site. Any chance you could help? And, check out the Wikipedia:WikiProject Syracuse, New York wikiproject, perhaps you could join and participate. I would be happy for it to cover as far south as you like. Cheers, doncram (talk) 02:05, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

Hi, i got your message. I just checked out nysAsylum.com, which is clearly a commercial site. From what I've heard about other wikipedians contacting commercial photographers who seek to make a living from selling their work, i expect there is approximately zero chance it would release any of its photos into the public domain. So any photos you could take, whether of mug shot quality or worse, would be the best option. It would be great if you could take and post a picture or two, as I and others are working to get the List of National Historic Landmarks in New York up to "Featured List" status, and we need a pic there.... Thanks for contacting me. Sincerely, doncram (talk) 15:09, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Binghamton-seal.png

Thanks for uploading Image:Binghamton-seal.png. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

  • That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
  • That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.
