[edit] Your images
Please understand Wikipedia's image policies - we are a free-content encyclopedia and do not use images that are not legally our's to use. For an image to be used here, there either needs to be an applicable fair use justification or it needs to be released by the copyright holder under a "free" license. "Free" does not mean that they put it up on their website - it means that they released it under the GFDL, an acceptable Creative Commons license, or into the public domain. Images that come from the news media, etc, are not acceptable. Chances are, that at Georgia Tech games, there are fans with cameras. If you ask on a Georgia Tech message board, there's at least a decent chance that you will find someone with a photo of Calvin Johnson that they, themselves, photographed, that they would be willing to release under the GFDL. Please note that just creating a derivative work of someone else's photo is insufficient - it needs to be an original photograph. This is not meant to be annoying ... it's just that there are legal consequences for Wikipedia if we become a haven for images that are copyright violations. Everything here needs to be either free or legitimately fair use. --BigDT 05:04, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
