Hi there,

could you please suply a source for Image:Tsigganes-Greek Gypsies.jpg? If you do not edit that image and write down an adress where you got that image from, it will be deleted, and that would be very bad since the photo is great! Please, just add an address where you got that image from --Dijxtra 11:20, 1 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

I have the same question, please answer quick.If you presice the source or the license, we'll have the possibilities to copy this very very nice pictures to commons or french wiki to illustrate our article 'Rroms'. Thanks for your quick answer. jonathaneo
I see you just reuploaded the file. You need to click on the edit button on top of this page and then write where you got that photo from. --Dijxtra 21:12, 10 January 2006 (UTC)Reply
I also hold the same petition. The image is great, but if it get's deleted I'll have to upload one of Spanish gypsies which is not nearly as nice as yours!!! Villodre 00:35, 16 January 2006 (UTC)Reply
Fortunatly I've guessed that the image would be deleted, so I've download in my office so if you find the license, it wil be possible to republishing this. Thanks.jonathaneo

Yasou! I agree with the previous two posters - your image is great, AND we are having very big problems with some crazy guy (IP user, of course) who keeps taking it down - claiming "not verifiable". Since you posted the image here (and Mik, from the Greek wiki, says he got it from the English wiki), could you please let us know some background info on the picture, i.e. when and where it was taken, if you know that three girls in the photo, and if so, then a little bit about them and especially how you know that they are Roma. Then we MAYBE have something to keep this troublemaker away. Thank you very much in advance Istvan 19:24, 18 March 2006 (UTC)Reply
