Wikimedia Commons
I noticed the NYC photos that you have uploaded. Thanks for uploading them. I'm not sure if you're familiar with Wikimedia Commons, which is a repository for images and other media files. Images can be uploaded there, where they can be categorized (e.g. New York, New York), and found more easily for use in Wikipedia (this English version, as well as other languages). When you upload images in the future, please consider uploading them to Commons instead of directly to Wikipedia so we can keep them organized better. Thanks. -Kmf164 (talk | contribs) 04:00, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
- Also, please keep in mind that all images uploaded to Commons must have a fair use images. Photos taken by yourself meet these guidelines, however images taken from other websites are generally copyrighted and not allowed on Wikipedia. See Wikipedia:Copyrights for more details.

'Wall Street" photo
Hi. Regarding Image:Wallst.jpg, this photo is of Nassau street and Broad street. I have removed it from the Wall Street article. --ChrisRuvolo (t) 12:06, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

Image use
Hi. I noticed some problems with some of the images you have uploaded and placed into articles. Let me outline the several issues.
- Images that you have not taken yourself require source information. For example, Image:Soltorch.jpg has information on its license, but it does not say where the image came from. Without this information, there is no way to verify that the license is correct. The original URL should be sufficient in most cases.
- Only images that are Works of the United States Government (federal government) are automaticly in the public domain. Images like Image:Libeskindwtc.jpg and Image:Memorialfountain.jpg are not made by the federal government. Please do not use the {{PD-USGov}} tag without merit.
- When you place images in articles, please do so without removing existing images from the article. You replaced images in Wall Street with Image:Wallst.jpg and in United States Air Force Academy with Image:Chapelclose.jpg. Removing existing images is unnecessary unless the previous image had some kind of problem.
I will be looking at the images you have uploaded to try to correct some of these problems. --ChrisRuvolo (t) 21:57, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

- Go to the image description page and edit it to add
{{Replaceable fair use disputed}}
, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template. - On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on
