[edit] Image Release
I have been trying since December to obtain a release from FasTracks/RTD for a map image for this page. There seems to be a general reluctance to send in a release for the map. Any suggestions would be welcome. Dick107 17:03, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
- Without knowing any details about how you approached them or how they responded, my guess is they don't have a clue about Wikipedia and perhaps are uncomfortable with the idea of people not connected with their project being in some way in control of FasTracks publicity. You might have better luck getting something secondhand through a newspaper. —mjb 04:46, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

- Getting the map image was the easy part. In attempting to get a release, I sent them the boilerplate from Wikimedia Commons:Email_templates (the version in the 'box') into which I inserted the Wikimedia location of the image and a GFDL-1.2 release option. The refusal from the manager that I spoke to today expressed concern about the image being altered in a way that would reflect poorly on her organization.
- I didn't argue with her and had the image deleted from Commons.
- I'm relatively new to Wikipedia and, although I've added my own images, this was my first attempt at obtaining a release. I felt a little frustrated with not being able to present enough of an argument (or perhaps the submission of a different release form) in order to get the approval.
