In response to your question on the New Contributors' Help Page, I wrote the following, which I am copying here for you. First, your friend's instinct about linking from his site was correct -- images should always be uploaded to a Wikimedia server, not linked from an external site. (Consider using Wikimedia Commons, rather than Wikipedia, so other projects have access to the images as well.) Second, quoting from to Wikipedia:Image use policy, "Licenses which ... are given permission to only appear on Wikipedia, are not free enough for Wikipedia's usages or goals and will be deleted." Your friend would have to release the images under a free license such as the GNU Free Documentation License. Your friend might be willing to "sacrifice" his copyright on one or two images by releasing them to the world (and therefore to Wikipedia), but Wikipedia will not use images licensed only to Wikipedia. It may fall under Fair Use, but I don't think so.

Again, welcome! --Ginkgo100 ^{talk · contribs · e@} 23:19, 5 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

@Ginkgo100 : Thanks for responding so quickly :) I'll contact Don to get a couple of photos released.

...and thanks for those links!

AfD nomination of Don Repella[edit]

I have nominated Don Repella, an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Don Repella. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.
