Hi,

Can you provide some information on the (nice!) pictures you uploaded. Without source and licensing information they might be deleted sooner or later... - thanks in advance. - Arent 00:39, 12 August 2005 (UTC)

Picture Image:Glasschord.jpg

Hi, I wanted to warn you that a vandal (who puts irrelevant obscene comments on talk pages) changed the tag on this to "public domain." Please verify the source of the picture as soon as possible and put up the correct tag, otherwise it could cause legal problems, especially if the copyright holder of the picture takes action against Wikipedia! Pictures without copyright tags may well be deleted without warning, I know someone who lost hundreds of pictures that way! Cheers, Walkerma 16:00, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

A quick Google search showed this picture to be on a museum site in Iran. See [1]. If this is the source of the picture, then it needs to be removed. If the museum got the picture from you, great! Walkerma 17:58, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

Trivia

Did you read these two articles on trivia? WP:TRIVIA and Wikipedia:Avoid trivia sections in articles. It clearly explains Wikipedia's views on trivia. I also posted a response on the talk page of Trivia Cleanup as well. RobJ1981 05:57, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

Your contribution Image:Glass Harmonica.jpg seems to be taken from a web page without permission. Perhaps you can convince the authors to share with Wikipedia under an approved licence. Else it's going to be deleted. --84.20.17.84 16:12, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
