[edit] Chamber of Commerce sites in External links

Re our difference over whether Chambers of Commerce are (generally) good external links (from Chemung County, New York) I added comments at Talk:Chemung County, New York and Wikipedia talk:External links‎. You might want to add to it? Cheers! -- Mwanner | Talk 00:31, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Copyvios in the Elmira, New York

No, I yanked those sections just because of the copyright violation. It's true, it could have used a rewrite and tightening. Actually, that might be a better approach than dealing with the permission issue: if it's rewritten, then it's no longer a copyvio. Besides, I've never been clear how you do that permission trick-- I think it involves an email exchange or sending a letter. If you're willing to do a rewrite, by all means, revert my removals and then whack away at it. But if you want to go the permission route, look at Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. Sorry about the abrupt removal-- copyright violation is supposed to be a shoot-on-sight situation.

Looks like you were probably right about the Chamber of Commerce link. I'll pursue the question as per the suggestion. Cheers! -- Mwanner | Talk 11:37, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Chemungcountyseal.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:Chemungcountyseal.gif. 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.
