(I gave you the official welcome since I just realized you're a relative newbie...) :) I appreciate all the hard work you've been putting into the Roma people article. Just curious, are you Roma by any chance? K. Lásztocska 23:16, 19 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It kind of depends on your definition of it... by upbringing, lifestyle and culture, no. By ancestry, partly. Dinlo juk 11:22, 20 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That's like how I'm Hungarian...born and raised in the United States into a many-generation American family, which was always like "Old country? What old country?" I'm basically the first one to rediscover our (part-) Hungarian roots and fling myself headlong into Magyar history, language, culture etc. :) Anyway, glad to be working with you. :) K.

Thank you[edit]

Thank you. I really appreciate it, especially coming from you, as you started off as a critic (and a reasonable, knowledgeable one). I'll take a look at the image and vandalism issues as soon as I have time. SlimVirgin ^(talk) 10:53, 8 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The image is a professional one that is copyrighted. You have the photographer's permission, but we're not allowed to use images with permission, because it restricts the use to our website. We must either claim fair use (which wouldn't be appropriate for an image like this), or ask the photographer to release the image so it can be used by anyone for any purpose. He would retain his copyright, and he can insist that he is credited whenever it is used, but anyone, commercial and non-commercial alike, would be able to use it, including derivative use i.e. they would be allowed to crop it, add it to a teashirt etc etc.

If you want to ask him to do that, he would have to e-mail you with these words: "I am the copyright holder of this image (link to image) and I hereby release it under a Creative Commons Attribution license." You would then forward that e-mail to permissions at wikimedia dot org. Then you could use the image in the article.

If the photographer wants to know more about Creative Commons licenses, you can send him to Creative Commons licenses, and the particular license you would be asking him to agree to is this one.

As for the article, I don't see enough vandalism to justify a semi-protect at the moment, but I'll keep an eye open for it in the future. Hope this helps. :-) SlimVirgin ^(talk) 11:05, 8 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, I also added some material about the Roma and a photograph to the medical experiments section here, in case you didn't see it. SlimVirgin ^(talk) 11:10, 8 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
