ok, sir, i understand... im a professional photographer and have pictures or celebrities, sports starts, models and just regular people that i use for my resume when it comes to magazines and television.. etc. etc... if i happen to have any pictures you guys dont have, ill upload them and provide any and all information necessary. thank you sir. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Monkstro (talk • contribs) 03:35, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

uh, why does it matter when i uploaded the picture to wiki? it doesnt.... i had just come across Zooey's page... saw she didnt have a picture up and knew i had one of my own to contribute.. so i uploaded it... it's not like i scour the internet looking for websites that want to post pictures of her but dont have permission.. lol.. and not only that, but i said that this image was taken in early 2007... and the picture you linked me to was posted in March of 2007.. and poorly cropped/photoshopped... so i dont see how there is any issue... someone used my picture without proper authorization and posted it in 2007... a couple months after it was actually taken... anyways.. you've been making such a horrible stink about this image for over a week now and all i was doing was trying to help out.. you didnt have a picture or her... i have one that i had taken.. and you freak out when im only trying to help... that's too bad :( —Preceding unsigned comment added by Monkstro (talk • contribs) 00:54, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi - I took the Stan Tracey photograph at the 100 Club in Oxford Street, London sometime in the 1980's - when my diary surfaces I'll know the exact date. There's more [better ones] of him and his band[s] at various venues which I'll release after the next session with the negative scanner.

Bullet Bob Armstrong image

Hi,

I hope I am responding at the right place. If asked if I took a photo. Yes, I did tons of photography for the Wrestle Birmingham group from 2000-present. The particular photo you asked about is from 2001 at a Continental Wrestling reunion. I am a journalist/photojournalist for FigureFourOnline.com and DragonKingWrestling.com. In fact I own the later website. I hope this answers your questions as I have hundreds of photos of the old Continental guys and was planing on updating some of their biographies as soon as I get a better hang of it.

Katy Manning image

Hi,

Regards your removal of the image from Katy Manning [1], it is not clear to me what the reason was. As far as I can make out it met the fair use criteria, I assume you disagree with this?

Image:Honoda.jpg

Hello Genisock2. I noticed the copyright status of the image, Image:Honoda.jpg, is in doubt. I am not the uploader, nor the author of this work, but I am a contributor at the main article involved. It appears that this image falls under the fair use clause because it is a Japanese work older than 50 years. However, it also appears that the original uploader found this with a Google Images search; for unrelated reasons, the uploader's account has been blocked. Before this image is deleted, please let me know if the fair-use tag is appropriate. The article does need an image, but we need to make sure it is a legitimate, legal one. Nimur 22:31, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

Well, as far as certainty of the image, it is difficult to know specifically. This page hosts this image which I believe to be the source of this digital version on Wikipedia. However, Lt. Onoda was "in hiding" from 1945 until 1974 (as a Japanese guerrilla in the Philippines), so it is very unlikely that this image was taken later than 1945; this would classify it older than 50 years and hence place it in our public domain/fair use category for Japanese images older than 50 years by anonymous authors. I can't verify the original source any better than that. Nimur 00:31, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

It is extremely unlikely that the suspected source is the official copyright holder; they are merely hosting a copy of that image which appears elsewhere on the web. Nimur 00:39, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

Image:Allie_at_playground.jpg

When I meant it should only be used on that page, it was because I thought it would be pretty pointless anywhere else. It is completely free, and was taken about three weeks ago. If it is more appropriate, I'll remove the line stating where it should be placed, as it really makes no sense to restrict it to one particular area.

Jopay_1.JPG photo

I took the photo, so I released it under a free license (although I do not understand everything about these licenses).

I just do not understand why my photo was removed from the article. I do own the photo, so I think it's okay to upload it here.

-- I cannot remember what article it was in. I checked the history of Jopay Paguia and SexBomb Girls article, but the history doesn't show that I used it there. Anyway, I also have another photo that was removed because they had doubts about the copyright status.

I do not know what to do. What kind of licensing should I use if I upload a photo which I myself took?

The Globe image

Just curious on your rationale on removing the globe image. I agree it is not free, but according to the image page Image:NoImageYetSquare.png Wiki own the copyright which would imply it can be used. Is it because someone other than Wiki foundation has made it. Has there been a discussion on it? MortimerCat 09:33, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

MalcolmPlaque.JPG, MalcolmHall.jpg and Bocobohall.jpg

Hi. Are you the author of MalcolmPlaque.JPG, MalcolmHall.jpg and Bocobohall.jpg?Genisock2 09:28, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

Yup, I took all these three pictures myself with my Sony DSC-200 camera in February 2007 (MalcolmPlaque.JPG, MalcolmHall.jpg) and June 2006 (Bocobohall.jpg). What I uploaded were resized versions of those three pictures which I took. --Anyo Niminus 15:31, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

-- no problems uploading the original with the MalcolmPlaque.jpg file, the original picture is not that large (640x480 pxs, 141KB). The two other pics though are larger (3072x2304 pxs, 2.97MB and 2.86MB respectively), and I had cropped the Malcolm Hall picture.

Also, particularly with the MalcolmHall.jpg pic, it was a deliberate choice on my part to release into the public domain only a small resolution version of that picture. That photo, especially a larger version, can easily be exploited for commercial use (especially in the Philippines, where Malcolm Hall and the U.P. College of Law are well-regarded and historic institutions). By releasing into the public domain only a smaller-resolution version of that picture (which after all I had invested time and effort one Sunday afternoon in order to take), I hoped to limit the exploitation of that picture, while at the same time provide an appropriate illustration to the sufficiently complement the articles to which it was linked to.

Brooke Astor photograph

Can you please state where that image came from? In April 2007, Mrs Astor was bedridden, not appearing at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and certainly not in that state. The photograph only barely resembles her, so can you please provide a citation as to its source and correct identification? I do not think it serves the article in any way to show a photograph of a woman who does not resemble Brooke Astor, either in her prime or in her dotage.Kitchawan 15:57, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

My apologies; I overlooked your posting on the Talk page. I have looked at the file in Wikipedia.jpg and it states that some tourist took the snapshot in April 2007. He is mistaken in his identification, not only because Mrs A was an invalid at her home at the time and had been for some time. Secondly, check out the Metropolitan Museum metal ID tab on her blouse (you think they're going to make a major benefactor wear one of those -- believe me, they don't). Also the shape of the nostrils is wrong (Mrs A, as you can see in most of her photographs, had a notably distended right nostril). Et cetera, et cetera. My vote is to remove that image from the picture bank and the article and replace it ASAP with an accurate image.Kitchawan 16:15, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

hey, thanks for making sure my diagram got deleted. the image's page made it clear that i was the creator, and that it was intended to be used on wikipedia. i don't have the origional anymore so i have to make another one now. i spent a lot of time on that.

instead of marking images for speedy deletion maybe it would be more helpful if you just told them how to fix the liscense. I'm pretty sure that one was correct though, i don't know why you marked it. unfortuntely, i never saw that it was marked for deletion until it was already gone.

The image can be undeleted. However the initial license was for wikipedia only which isn't considered free enough for wikipedia that requires that anyone be able to use the image for commercial as well as non commercial uses.Genisock2 (talk) 23:30, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

i realize some people upload copyrighted pictures that they claim to own licenses to, but some people really do own licenses to professional looking images. you can't just go around tagging things for deletion.

I apply slightly more complex tests than that.Genisock2 (talk) 23:55, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

And i don't want it to be used outside wikipedia because, sure, wikipedia is great, but not everyone is. some people use even the most innocent things with malicious intent. total freedom isn't always a good thing.

Wikipedia disagrees. Wikipedia has not accepted images under wikipedia only licenses for years see Wikipedia:Image_use_policy#Free_licenses. So if you are not prepared to release the image for anyone to use then I say I quite understand your decision but we cannot use the work on wikipedia.Genisock2 (talk) 23:55, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

wikipedia is about everyone sharing knowledge, not everyone acting like the boss. so add everything you can to wikipedia, but let the wikipolice be the wikipolice.

Re: Image:TimBrooke-Taylor2007.jpg

Yes the pic belongs to me - it's actually my hair on the right, the photo was cropped by me and then uploaded to the page. Thanks, JessPix (29.3.08) —Preceding unsigned comment added by JessPix (talk • contribs) 20:54, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Re:Stopmenow

This was the edit that showed up in my window [4] which looked like a recently warned (level 1) user removing a picture with a non-picture (placeholder), which is why I reverted. Heading over to his page hat in hand... MBisanz ^talk 21:28, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

No free image graphic/opera singers etc

Hi. David Gerard agreed not to put the graphic on opera singers (e.g. Brigitte Fassbaender}. Could you also forbear? They are really not suitable for classical musicians. Thanks and regards. --Kleinzach (talk) 01:59, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Bill Stewart

I took a photo of the picture of him in the Fiesta Bowl program. John (talk) 19:43, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Bert Hölldobler

Yes, I took the picture. I was asked to take pictures of the event. The version I uploaded is a cropped version. AJseagull1 (talk) 20:16, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Regarding Kleinzach's confusion in this discussion, perhaps it might help if you were to change your sock's signature to include both account names? Not that I'd have expected anyone to really be confused about it in the first place, but since it's happened once... —Ilmari Karonen (talk) 05:26, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Image:Jonathon Porritt Bristol 2008.jpg

Yes, I took this picture. I saw him at a talk on sustainable development and politely asked him before he went on if I could take a picture for Wikipedia as there wasn't one already. I think I cropped it before uploading. I donate it to Wikipedia, my first donation!

Re: Image:ahmed belal.jpg

Hi Genisock2, I found the photo among my collection without any copyrights. I'm not sure if this fells into the "my own pictures" category or not! If not, can you please tell me in which categoy does it fall? thnx. —Preceding unsigned comment added by RaGaEy (talk • contribs) 10:55, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Re: Image:DerrickD-DSC01065a.jpg

Hi did you take this pic?Genisock2 (talk) 12:00, 9 April 2008 (UTC) Yes, I was at the location. The shoot was done at "Villa Fontani" in the San Fernando Valley near Los Angeles. There was the photographer Henning and a quite big team of assistants around. This is a snapshot in a break. Cheers, Germany2799

Your comment

I am sorry but I am not sure what you are refering to exactly. Your comment made no reference to a particular topic.Nrswanson (talk) 11:21, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Ah well you didn't make any references to the topic and I don't appriciate your tone. You sound very condescending and hostile. And if you were paying attention to the discussion, there has been a request to suspend the addition of these tags for the moment until after a wider discussion has been had. That is just curteous and if a decision to not use the tags is made (although it may not be) then there is less undoing work to be done. What may I ask is the rush? Also, the opera wikiproject has had its own pages removed from the bots search parameters that is responsible for the addition of these tags, thanks to the kindness of David Gerrad who created the bot and the image. Gerrard has been considerate to the opera wikiproject so why can't you be as well? I don't think this is a case of ownership either sense there are good arguements against the use of this tag. Frankly, you are the one who seems to have a problem with ownership in this insistance by continuing to create edit wars rather than talk things out first.Nrswanson (talk) 11:33, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Once again a little politeness would be appriciated. We obviously see things differently and I don't think that is going to change. Best wishes to you.Nrswanson (talk) 12:21, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
