User talk:DeadstarNote to self{{subst:ncd}} for images moved to commons. First messageHello and Welcome! I hope you like the place. --mav Hi. I just noticed that you started Famous Irish people see List of famous Irish people. They need merging. Mintguy
List of famous Irish people has more of an edit history, I've redirected Famous Irish people to this page. Mintguy OK HowthToday I moved the dot for Howth from the Sutton location to a more accurate location for Howth on the template. ww2censor 03:23, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
Re: renaming imagesHey, thanks for the reply, after I posted the question, I found the same answer somewhere else after some intense searching. But thanks for answering nonetheless. Cheers! Murderbike 10:18, 10 June 2007 (UTC) Karte_Paretz.jpgHi. The only reason I can see that I marked it redundant might be because there must have been a .png version of the same image. When I was working on that article .jpg pretty much went out of style for maps and such. Not sure what happened to the .png image though. It should probably be converted and then replaced. Mmounties (Talk) 22:34, 29 June 2007 (UTC) Bertrand Meyer imageHi! I see you added the picture back to Bertrand Meyer -- I thought about doing that myself, but I saw this edit and decided not to. Do you think the image is important enough for the article to justify going against his wishes? I don't know, really. I just want to make sure you saw his edit and thought about it. :) Dreamyshade 07:16, 30 June 2007 (UTC) Yeah, I'm not sure, and I don't know of any relevant guidelines. Want to bring it up on the Village Pump? Dreamyshade 05:48, 3 July 2007 (UTC) Matt SherrodHey! Thanks for those images. I'll definitely use the Sherrod one.

Although the name had an apostrophe in the 19th century, and some highway signs still spell it that way, the official spelling is Larrys Creek. See this USGS GNIS page. So if you could, please make the official category / name on Commons without an apostrophe. Thanks, Ruhrfisch ><>°° 17:17, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

Sfan00 IMG (talk) 17:55, 14 May 2014 (UTC) Uploads of dedicated photographsReference: message sent to me regarding the Dedicated Classical Pianist Photographs added to artists sites. These are photos the various artists possess and distribute for publicity purposes, inclusion in programs and any newspaper articles or concert reviews they might receive. Some photos might have been taken by my father, but certainly not most. I was under the impression that when a dedication is made to a party, they are then the owners of said document and can do what they will with it! I feel that they are quite illuminating on a musicians wiki site as they give some insight into their touring, sometimes the number of places where they performed, and frequently their popularity and extra requests to tour again. Please advise me what further steps I can take to satisfy the copyright, as it would be a shame to delete. Aldercraft (talk) 14:20, 22 May 2014 (UTC) A barnstar for you!
Not sure what you require in the way of confirmation that this image is CC-BY-SA.

File:Bazaar57fn.jpgThe 1957 copyright was originally held by Taffy's of California but was never renewed and fell into the public domain after 28 yrs. The image is now in the public domain and Taffy's of California no longer exists. Schmausschmaus (talk)
One last comment. The page and image are not from Harper's Bazaar strictly speaking. They were promotional flyers for Taffy's after Taffy's had commissioned the photo. Harper's Bazaar subsequently published the photo and text ("featured editorially in Harper's Bazaar") but with Taffy's permission. The photo and text belonged to Taffy's.Schmausschmaus (talk)
When I was working on the article I had access to archive materials. The image is a Taffy's of California flyer; it is not from a magazine. Harper's Bazaar did later publish the cotton in the evening image as a bonus for the full page ad. The full page ad Taffyhbfn.jpg in those days cost $5,500, about $50,000 in today's money. Taffy's then sent the cotton in the evening image and text, which they owned, to the magazine which included it in their content gratis. That was the way fashion mags worked in those days. Schmausschmaus (talk) Again, Taffy's of California commissioned and owned the 1956 image and used it in their sales campaign. It is a full page ad in Harper's Bazaar, which Taffy's paid for, not editorial material. Harper's Bazaar reciprocated by running Bazaar57fn.jpg, an image also owned by Taffy's. That was the way fashion mags worked in those days. Taffy's went out of business in 1958, and did not renew the copyright on Taffyhbfn.jpg or Bazaar57fn.jpg after 28 years. Taffyhbfn.jpg, originally an ad, is now public domain. Schmausschmaus (talk)
FFDA bunch of your files for deletion entries look like they might have been better tagged as {{no permission}} if the author appears to be different from the uploader. Saves a little bureaucracy, unless there was some reason you don't use that, {{no source}}, etc. – czar 04:42, 30 July 2015 (UTC) Hi, File:Takis.JPGThanks you for observing that this image has been replaced and it is no longer required.

I am an actor named Van Epperson. You have marked my personal photo/headshot on my Wikipedia listing for deletion, apparently because I listed the name of my friend who took it as the photographer. You have claimed it is does not show proper copyright permission for public distribution. This is my own personal photo. No one owns it but me and I have the right to list my friend's name who took the photo for me. I believe I put it up with full permission for anyone to use it -- and no one can do that but me -- I own the photo -- it is of me, taken with my own camera by my friend Christopher Anderson. It is a headshot I use professionally. It is all over the web on lots of different websites because I posted it myself. It is publicly displayed in multiple places for anyone to see and use. If an actor cannot post his own photo that he owns without someone like you marking it for deletion over some made up incorrect assumption that has no basis whatsoever in truth or reality, that really sux. Please remove whatever you have done to mark my photo of myself for deletion and allow it to remain on my Wikipedia listing. Yes, anyone can use it. It is a public photo. That is why I posted it. Again, it is a photo of ME, that was taken by my friend Christopher Anderson at my request. He is not a professional photographer, he is just my friend. He does not own the photo, I do. He has nothing whatsoever to do with it other than taking it for me, again, at MY REQUEST. I am completely offended that you have marked my photo for deletion when it is a photo of me, taken at my request, posted on Wikipedia by me. If the permission/copyright needs amendment, I do NOT know how to do that. I attempted to understand the Wikipedia instructions connected to your unwarranted attacking of my photo by marking it for deletion but I did not comprehend them. Again, please remove whatever you have done to mark my photo for "possible deletion". I would appreciate hearing back from you regarding this so I know my photo will not be removed over your unfounded assumptions. Please write me back on my page, so I will get the message like I got this one or I will never see it.Yeswolf (talk) 17:29, 8 March 2016 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yeswolf (talk • contribs) 17:25, 8 March 2016 (UTC) Noah Howard PhotoHi, not sure if this is the right place for my reply regarding your copyright concern.
