You're doing great work on Ed McCully; don't sweat the details about image policy and all that. I've been working on the Jim Elliot article of late, so once that's in better shape I'm going to move to the articles on Nate and Ed. It's great to see your interest, and thanks for the help! --Spangineer^ws (háblame) 23:29, 13 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

When you say, "By Randy Alcorn", are you saying he took the picture? I don't think he was alive at the time. Just because the image appears on his website doesn't mean that 1) he isn't breaking copyright rules or 2) you're allowed to copy it. The reuse statement at the bottom applies specifically to articles written by Randy Alcorn, not all content that appears on his website. --Spangineer^ws (háblame) 00:56, 14 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, it's a real mess. I've been contributing to Wikipedia for over two years and am finally starting to feel comfortable with image copyright rules. You're always safe, however, if your image is really old (pre-1923, usually), or the author allows anyone to distribute, modify, and use his work (even for commercial purposes). Remember those two rules and you'll get it right 90% of the time. --Spangineer^ws (háblame) 06:10, 14 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading the image of the plaque of Jim Elliot! I've been trying to find a free image of him for awhile but haven't had any luck--I even contacted people like Lars Gren and Steve Saint to do it, but nothing came of it. So I'm wondering if there's any chance that you know of any other ways to get a picture of Jim... even a bigger version of that plaque with no glare would be awesome. I've been working on that article for awhile but never completed it; I'd love to see it become a

Unfortunately we can't assume that just because an image is on a website that it's public domain; in fact, that's extremely unlikely. Whenever we add a picture, we have to find the original source of an image (including the author and copyright information). Book covers don't work either, because they in general can only be used in the article about the book itself. So we're left with few options, especially when we can't get a picture from the people who have the rights (the families of Nate Saint and Jim Elliot, for the most part). --Spangineer^ws (háblame) 13:48, 30 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. I've noticed that you keep your image uploads on the userpage

The good news is that when Steve Saint recently came to my area, I got my mom's film camera and took some pictures of his plane (the one that was in the movie). I haven't seen the pictures yet, but I'm hoping that I'll have at least one that's the plane by itself. Hopefully within a few weeks I'll be able to start uploading those to commons (with the right licenses) so that we can use one here. --Spangineer^ws (háblame) 01:45, 14 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Image copyright problem with Image:Alex the Parrot.jpg

Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation

linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

• That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's escription page for each article the image is used in.
• That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Replaceable fair use File:Mincaye.JPG

Thanks for uploading File:Mincaye.JPG. I noticed the description page specifies that this media item is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails the first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media item could be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone.
