If you want to move a page, please use the move button. Cut&paste moves are generally a bad idea, because they don't preserve the page history. Thanks for your understanding. --Zoz (t) 18:03, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Photos

See WP:COPYREQ for this process. If you need any help, drop me a line. Cheers, Zoz (t) 13:32, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

Well it depends on how you want to use that photo. I you want to add an external link to the article which points to their photo, then according to their website, it's fine. However, if you want that image to appear on WP (i.e. if you want to upload it to have it displayed in an article), then permission to use is not enough. That's because Wikipedia itself states all its material may be used by anyone, for any purpose, and that includes modification, redistribution, etc. Compare this to their statement: "These photos may not otherwise be reproduced, distributed, cropped, resized, or otherwise altered without the written permission of the photographer." So you'll "have to contact the photographer (the copyright holder) of the photo" and ask them to release their photo under a free license, preferably GDFL. You can find a boilerplate text for requesting permission here. Hope this helps. --Zoz (t) 12:56, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Photo's

Hi - You are not following correct procedures with the photos and seem to not fully understand the concepts involved. First off, you can't upload "fair use" photo's to Wikicommons, which is why those photos have been tagged for deletion as copyright violations. Second, even if they were fair use, you have provided no rationale for it - please read the instructions on how to document fair use photos. This is a complex and difficult process and with a high-profile article like this it needs to be done with no uncertainty. -- Stbalbach 14:38, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

Also left messages on the John Karr talk page about this. -- Stbalbach 14:41, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

re: GDFL

Sorry for not replying for so long, I was busy in real life. So I suppose you got an e-mail saying OK to release the images under the GDFL? If that's the case, you should forward both your request and the answer received to permissions AT wikimedia DOT org, and add {{confirmation}} to the talk page. I think you should add {{GFDL}} to the image description page, link the source of the photo and name the author. --Zoz (t) 12:14, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

GFDL

GFDL can't be revoked once granted (as long as you can prove that, as you seem to have done). You might like to contact User:Jkelly if you need more help as she does a lot of work with images. Tyrenius 01:06, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

Copyright

I would go ahead and remove the images. My understanding is once something is released under GFDL it can't be retracted, but in this case it's really not worth the hassle. I'm sure it would be possible to obtain other images we could use instead. Sarah Ewart (Talk) 01:03, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

Hey Michael, I was thinking further about the Cessna photo problem and I realised that User:Linuxbeak is in the aviation business. He has uploaded images of other Cessnas and he may have an image of the Cessna 414 or at least be able to suggest we we may get a replacement. He's a lovely guy and I'm sure he'd be happy to help if he could. Just a thought. Best, Sarah Ewart (Talk) 12:01, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

No worries, Michael. Linuxbeak is currently running in the board of trustees election, so he might be a little slow in replying. There is a list of other editors who are also pilots here: [1]. Also, if we can find an image that belongs to the US government, we can use that (work by the US federal govt is in the public domain). I did a quick google image search a couple of days ago to see if I could find anything by the US government but ran out of time. I'll try doing another google search later in the week.

Leonard Ravenhill

Thbere was nothing in the article to indicate that he was notable. I have put the text in User:CambridgeBayWeather/Sandbox (you can copy it over to UserMdoc7/Sandbox while you work on it), if you can find some sources to prove his notability then you could repost the article. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 03:29, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

'bout time

I just noticed your user page pop up on my watchlist and turn from a red link to blue. Bout time you did something about that! :) Sarah Ewart (Talk) 04:40, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

Leonard Ravenhill

Mdoc7, do you have any fresh insights into Ravenhill's page. I found a couple sources and cleaned a few things up, but the discussion looks like its been dead a long time - what is that all about? I'd like to remove the old banners but want some input from people who've been here longer, thanks ChildrenOfLight (talk) 02:20, 27 June 2010 (UTC)

See my response in your talk page. Mdoc7 (talk) 03:23, 10 July 2010 (UTC)

Thanks, I've heard most of those quotes in his videotaped sermons, but for me to source them would require me to watch them again :) - something I'll get to eventually. Thanks again, ChildrenOfLight (talk) 20:24, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

Ian McCormack

Mdoc7, a few months ago I went through a long and spirited AFD process over an article I was trying to create on Wikipedia. I'd appreciate any help or feedback on the new article. I have one person helping me now who wanted to delete it at first, so we'll see if it makes it this time. Please view my artice here: User:ChildrenOfLight/Ian_McCormack. I'd appreciate it. Sincerely ChildrenOfLight (talk) 20:31, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

April 2016

Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. This is just a note to let you know that I've moved the draft that you were working on to Draft:The Early Word, from its old location at User:Mdoc7. This has been done because the Draft namespace is the preferred location for Articles for Creation submissions. Please feel free to continue to work on it there. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to ask me on my talk page. Thank you. Ricky81682 (talk) 19:05, 15 April 2016 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Garyusher.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Garyusher.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

• make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
• Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

ATTENTION: This is an automated, BOT-generated message. This bot DID NOT nominate your file(s) for deletion; please refer to the page history of each individual file for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 03:00, 7 October 2016 (UTC)

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.
