Reply to message on my talk page

This is a copy of my email: Hello, Thank you for your message. First I will deal with the account problems. Once you have created an account, you do not have to do so again. Just click log in (top right of the wikipedia page) (or click here) Then enter your user name and password. If you are the only user of the computer on which you log in, you can click the 'remember me' box as this will save your password. Click log in, and it should work. If you have taken the photo, you own the copyright? Would you be willing to release it under the GNU Free Documentation Licence? You can find the text of it here. If you would not be willing to release it under this licence (or into the public domain) then it is unlikely we could use it as free alternatives would be available. You can find information about the use of non-free content on wikipedia here. If I can help you further, feel free to contact me, preferably through my talk page here. Thank you, Tiddly-Tom 07:07, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Re: Deleted photo

Hi! Wikipedia is a project built on free content - free to use, distribute, and modify without any restrictions. As such, media that is licensed for non-commercial use only cannot be used. However, there's a second issue here - Barry Kay has been deceased for quite some time, and as such media under a non-commercial license can be used as long as it has an argument for usage. As such, I've restored the image, written a rationale for it, and placed in the appropriate article. Happy editing! east.718 at 21:30, March 5, 2008
