[edit] Image credits
Hi Whileseated,
And thanks for uploading Image:Storefront-holl.jpg. However, on Wikipedia, we place image credits on the image description page. Also, the image needs to be licensed under a free license, such as {{GFDL}} or {{cc-by-sa}} — however, I guess you might want to make sure that whileseated.org is still credited if anyone else uses the image, so {{CopyrightedFreeUseProvidedThat|www.whileseated.org is credited}} might be the most appropriate (see for example Image:V20001.jpg). You can find more at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags. -- Solipsist 20:01, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Thanks!
Thanks for changing the image copyright info for the Floyd Landis image. I'll request that it be put back on the Main Page. -- tariqabjotu (joturner) 14:34, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
Hello, Whileseated. I suppose you are the same "Whileseated" at Flickr. Thank you for changing the copyright licence over there so that we can all enjoy this nice picture of yours at Wikipedia. Sorry for all the hassle, but I hope you understand the licensing issues we have at the wiki. Thanks for sharing. Take care. -- PFHLai 17:13, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
BTW, in future, if you are actually the photographer (I have no idea if you are Mr. Murphy or his fan), you can upload pictures directly to Wikipedia and choose any applicable licences. Instead of saying in the image description that the image came from another website, you can mention that you are the photographer / copyright holder (also mentioning that the same image can be found at other websites would be nice, too.) I am not a lawyer, but this should avoid the appearance of a copyright violation, a common problem here in Wikipedia. This should also avoid trigger-happy admins like me. :-) Hope this helps. Thanks. -- PFHLai 17:39, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
