Goodies, tips, and tricks Put Babel boxes on your user page so others know what languages you can speak and indicate your graphic abilities. You can find the files you have uploaded in your Uploads. Please sign your name on Talk pages by typing ~~~~. To link to an image page without embedding the image, type: [[:File:Foo.jpg]], which produces: File:Foo.jpg. You may enable gadgets (custom features) for your account. There are several tools to upload files. Have you edited Wikipedia before? This guide might be useful. Made a mistake? Do you want to have a file renamed or moved? Use the move link and wait for an authorized user to rename it. Do you want to have your recently uploaded picture removed? Tag it as {{speedy|reason here}}. For more information read the deletion guidelines.

File:KMKadish.jpg - copyright concerns

Regarding creative commons copyright for this image

You expressed concerns about the Photo of Dr. Kadish that was originally located on his webpage, kadishchem.uh.edu . My understanding of the copyright as listed at the bottom of the webpage was that it addressed the page itself rather than the individual elements. However, I am Dr. Kadish's assistant and currently maintaining that website - and having been requested by Dr. Kadish himself to create the Wikipedia entry, I don't think copyright of this image should be an impediment.

While I was not the original photographer, the image in question was created at the University of Houston in the Department of Chemistry IT department. Before I used the photo (as opposed to creating my own image, since I lack sufficient photographic equipment) I confirmed with the University of Houston, Department of Chemistry, IT department (my contact was Jerry Do, <jhdo@Central.UH.EDU>) that this image is, in fact, acceptable to post with unlimited (creative commons) use.

Please let me know if any additional documentation is required to make sure this image is acceptable for publication.

Thanks in advance and best regards,
