[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:George lee.jpg
Thank you for uploading Image:George lee.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 19:34, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
- Just a quick word of advice on the above - owning a photograph is not the same as owning the copyright on that photograph. You must provide appropriate copyright information, otherwise the image will be deleted. Do you have the copyright holder's permission to use the image? I noticed that you also removed George Lee's middle name "Thomas". This is sourced from The Who's Who of West Bromwich Albion by Tony Matthews. If you have information to the contrary, I'd be interested to hear it. If possible could you discuss this on the article's talk page. Thanks. --Jameboy (talk) 21:04, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
- While I've no reason to disbelieve either that he was your Grandad or that he has no middle name, Wikipedia must be compiled from verifiable third-party sources rather than the direct testimony of friends and relatives. Given that another source has his middle name as "Chester", I think the best thing to do would be to leave his full name as "George Lee", with footnotes acknowledging the middle names claimed by those sources. However if you could produce a reliable source (printed or web-based) that states that he has no middle name, that would really help. I appreciate that it is more difficult to prove that someone doesn't have a middle name than prove that they do! Do you have any idea why these incorrect middle names may have been printed? Cheers. --Jameboy (talk) 20:32, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
- One more thing I just thought of that may help you. If you write to Tony Matthews (via West Bromwich Albion football club - he is their club historian) and pass on your information, when he brings his next book out the name information should be correct! --Jameboy (talk) 20:41, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
