For images on wikipedia we need to know who owns the copyright to it, otherwise we are stealing the image without permission. Wikipedia is a free content encyclopedia, which means all of our material is freely licensed. For a definition of freedom in this context see freedomdefined.org. If you can get the person who owns the rights to license it under a free license then it can be used. If you do ask for permission please use Wikipedia:Example requests for permission. Getting permission to use it on wikipedia only is not enough, we need it to be licensed under a free license.

[edit] Image deletion

As it stands, the images will be automatically deleted anyway, so you don't really have to do anything. If you'd like to see them removed sooner, you can request deletion by editing the image pages and adding the tag {{db-author}}. An admin will be along to delete them before long.

[edit] Naming Protocol

Deleted question as problem has been solved. Thank you.

Referring to him by his last name is conventional, but if he uses "Greene" on a regular basis as a performing name (as in 50 Cent or Madonna), you may use that instead. There is no real need to refer to him as a professor. If you have any other questions please do ask (on my talk page if you wish). I'm removing the help template as this issue seems to be resolved.

Deleting this question as this problem has been solved. Thanks.

Hi. The wiki-syntax you're using where you have one square bracket on each side, i.e. [something] usually does nothing until you put a URL inside it, e.g. [http://www.google.com/] --which you probably already know. However what you don't seem to know is that the pipe "|" is not part of this syntax. The pipe is used for double-bracket syntax, i.e. [[Wikilink | this is where the pip is used]]
To do what you want to do, do it as follows:
[http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/MRC/TragicallyHip.html Tragically Hip: Hollywood and African American Film] and
[http://law.udayton.edu/NR/exeres/2920798B-C57D-4511-A303-19037CD547F5.htm University of Dayton School of Law]
which results as this:
Tragically Hip: Hollywood and African American Film
University of Dayton School of Law
I hope this helps. Rfwoolf 15:59, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
