[edit] Altmanphoto
I've noticed that you've been uploading alot of Robert Altman photos, and I've been wondering if they're all authorized or if you've been contacting him through e-mail, because there's a photo of Jim Morrison that I think would help the article very much. Thank you. 75pickup (talk · contribs)

Robertmark 18:30, 26 September 2006 (UTC) Right, I have uploaded @ 20 photos recently. I am now trying to hold off uploading any more as I'm in a wait and see mode. I am concerned with the generous copyright permissions granted. I am also the photographer.
btw- I've noticed you've removed a Ronnie Spector photo and generously placed my photo atop her page. For myself, with Wikipedia, I am always respectful re whatever photo was already at the top of the page and will never personally remove one that precedes my own addition. I do appreciate the compliment.
Thank you 75pickup. -Robert Altman
[edit] Licencing problem
I have re-tagged the images you have uploaded and licenced with {{cc-by-sa-2.5}} changing the licence to {{copyrighted}}. The reason is that in the additional text you state that the image may be used in Wikipedia articles. Although you also state conditions for reuse, the express permission given to Wikipedia implicitly negates reuse by others unless these receive a similar explicit permission. This conflicts with our GFDL policy which precludes a "Wikipedia only" clause. According to the current guidelines these images will therefore be deleted. If you decide to allow licencing according to {{cc-by-sa-2.5}} without the invalidating clause, for instance if this is simply a matter of unfortunate enunciation, nothing would please us more! __meco 22:01, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
