Image:Kitty Ussher MP.jpg

Hello Henry, I noticed you uploaded this image. There's a couple of problems with the licensing.

For a start, did you take the photo? I don't think so since you listed a webpage as the source. So you can't use {{self|cc-by-sa-2.5}}. You can only use "self" licenses for self-created works.Also, you can't "choose" a license unless you are the copyright holder. So unless the photographer said "yes, I license that under CreativeCommons Attribution Sharealike license", you can't put CC-BY-SA.

Secondly permission to use an image on Wikipedia, for example, is not strong enough permission to upload to the Commons. See Commons:Licensing for a list of what is acceptable. To get "strong enough" permission please use Commons:Email templates.

If stronger permission is not gained for this image, it will have to be deleted. If you have any questions, you can ask on my talk page or the Commons:Help desk. Thanks, pfctdayelise (translate?) 01:41, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

I'm happy with the way I have posted it, in response to a request. So is she. If you are unhappy, then destroy useful content - I don't really care. --Henrygb 23:14, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi Henrygb. Please don't get pfctdayelise wrong. She wants to keep that image as well (and we all admins aren't happy deleting images) and in order to be able to keep it there are some minimum requirements at Wikimedia Commons as for example our licensing policy which you can read entirely at Commons:Licensing (for a start Commons:First steps sums up everything important you need to care about in our project). So thatfor she noted some mistakes common to people that are new to Wikimedia Commons and asked you to correct it so that there are no further questions in future. This is also in order to protect you from people that potentially want to sue you because of copyright infringements (and we had these cases already and they were threatening us even revealing the log files and identity of these uploaders, so there's a good reason being carefully). So please forward a written email permission (standard permission text see above) of the copyright owner of the image to permissions@wikimedia.org (or try to proof that you're indeed the very same photographer of the image at the MP website). As it is now the image sadly needs to be deleted because of serious concerns of correctness of the given information. So please try to be a little bit cooperative like us and I am sure you'll enjoy our project and just in case you did make a failure please just say it now and we won't make a big drama out of it.

It is my opinion that the way the image tagging and deletion project has gone is institutional vandalism and I have done since it started (e.g. en:User_talk:Henrygb#The_Humungous_Image_Tagging_Project). If the consensus thinks that it serves a higher purpose then that is an error by the consensus. --Henrygb 14:10, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed

Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Henrygb. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Henrygb~commonswiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation
