Hi, just a note about the image of Mark Warner--generally, works of the federal government are public domain, but works of state governments (e.g. the official portrait of Warner) are not. Thanks for the pic, though I'm afraid it will have to go. Please stick around and contribute to Wikipedia. Best, [[User:Meelar|Meelar (talk)]] 00:40, 9 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Even if they appear to be encouraging people to use it, it's not their photo; it belongs to the government of Virginia. Unless the Virginia government decides to put it into the public domain, or release it under the GFDL, we can't use it. See Wikipedia:Copyrights for more.

Starfleet logo

Good question. If this were an official drawing of it, then it would definitely be copyrighted, although you might have fair use. If it was redrawn, I'm not sure. You can ask at Wikipedia:Help desk--someone there might know. Best wishes, [[User:Meelar|Meelar (talk)]] 05:01, 9 Jul 2004 (UTC)

The Persistence of Memory

Hello. Why did you remove the image from The Persistence of Memory? If there is a reason to do so, it's best to explain in your edit summary or the article talk page, or if there is a problem with the image or using it on Wikipedia, it should be mentioned on the image talk page. As I saw no explanation, I reverted your change. Wondering, -- Infrogmation 06:37, 21 Oct 2004 (UTC)
