[edit]I'd forgotten I'd taken this a couple of months ago, it was when Roger and John came over to Gib for the first. We took a trip round The Rock with Prof. Clive Finlayson aboard the General Elliot, one of the Port Authority's vessels :) --Gibmetal 77talk 2 me 18:43, 28 August 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Panorama from Green's Lodge Battery.png. This media is missing permission information. A source is given, but there is no proof that the author or copyright holder agreed to license the file under the given license. Please provide a link to an appropriate webpage with license information, or ask the author or copyright holder to send an email with copy of a written permission to VRT (permissions-commons@wikimedia.org). You may still be required to go through this procedure even if you are the author yourself; please see Commons:But it's my own work! for more details. After you emailed permission, you may replace the {{No permission since}} tag with {{subst:PP}} on file description page. Alternatively, you may click on "Challenge speedy deletion" below the tag if you wish to provide an argument why evidence of permission is not necessary in this case.
Please see this page for more information on how to confirm permission, or if you would like to understand why we ask for permission when uploading work that is not your own, or work which has been previously published (regardless of whether it is your own). Warning: unless the permission information is given, the file may be deleted after seven days. Thank you. |

- Martin, please see the page which is given as the source for this photograph. If you look at the left hand side, it gives permission, and if you click where it says "Please read the additional information and license details," you will find all the detailed license information. Thank you. ACP2011 (talk) 13:18, 3 November 2012 (UTC)
- I already answered this at File talk:Panorama from Green's Lodge Battery.png. The permission introduction reads "Please feel free to copy text and images from this website for use in Gibraltarpedia". Thats an unallowed restriction on where the content may be used. Permission is required for anyone to reuse the content anywhere, any time for any purpose including commercial purposes. Strike the " for use in Gibraltarpedia" and all will be fine. --Martin H.

- Thanks, Martin. I'll pass on the request to the people running GibraltarpediA and they'll let Jim Crone know. ACP2011 (talk) 23:14, 3 November 2012 (UTC)
- I stil do not under this. If it is changed from Gibraltarpedia to Wikipedia then does that mean that no one can use those pictures? I will get Jim to change it to "E.g. for use in Gibraltarpedia" as that was the reason he gave the images away under a cc by sa licence. Victuallers (talk) 23:32, 19 November 2012 (UTC)

Jim Crone
[edit]- I have emailed the web site owner. He will change the text so that it says "(e.g. on Gibraltarpedia)" to remove any ambiguity in the web site copyright release, (Although I believe the cc by sa license cannot have reservations of use).
- Colour pictures of Bruce Cooper were all taken by Jim/timer/assistant
- B amd White picture are problematic. I think Ji only had verbal permisson. I'm working on it. Loading one of these pictures under "fair use" should be possible. Which one?
- If we can only keep one of the three black and white photos of Bruce Cooper (1 head shot, 2 seated, 3 with Milner), I would say that the head shot of him as a young man is most important, File:Bruce Cooper, Gibraltar.png. How do I modify the license? What would the code look like? Is there someone to whom I can write write to get formal, written permission? Thank you. ACP2011 (talk) 14:10, 22 November 2012 (UTC)
- Project Vitello pictures came from a local historian with permission. I have his email address and I (or Anne?) can write to him and get formal permission. Loading one of these pictures under "fair use" should be possible. Which one? I expect that these will be crown copyright eventually. Victuallers (talk) 11:12, 21 November 2012 (UTC)
- If we could only temporarily keep one of the six black and white images of Spur Battery/Project Vitello, I would say that the first, of the battery in position in Gibraltar, is most important. That image is File:Spur Battery.png. Also, how does one add a photo to an existing category? (We'll deal with creating a category later.) I've tried it once or twice and messed it up. For example, how does one add a photo to GibraltarpediA? I'll be happy to send an email to the historian who originally obtained the photos. If you could send me his email address, I'll take care of it right away. Thank you. And Happy Turkey Day from Chicago. ACP2011 (talk) 14:10, 22 November 2012 (UTC)

Photos of Gibraltar
[edit]All those photographs you have uploaded in PNG format: do you have them in the original JPEG format? To be blunt, converting a photograph into PNG is like rendering the Mona Lisa in Lego blocks. In the original JPEG format they could be shown larger without such loss of resolution.
I'm trying to help out with some of the so far sparse material on another project, which takes its pictures from Commons - yours are the only pictures of some of the Upper Rock but the resolution is problematic.
