Astroturfing

I actually hope to delete the "List of astroturfing" article eventually, merging it with astroturfing, but would you mind adding them to List of front groups? My hope is to create a very well-culled list of organizations with covert corporate sponsors that would help readers trying to figure out which ones are legit.

Weisbrot image

Just wanted to let you know I saw no permissions for that image of Weisbrot so it has been marked for deletion. If you need help with copyright info on files on Wikimedia let me know. It took me forever to find the image that I uploaded.--ZiaLater (talk) 04:06, 22 June 2017 (UTC)

@ZiaLater: -- Please check on the footer of the pages I cited and remove your objection on the deletion request. Gunshippolitico (talk) 04:11, 22 June 2017 (UTC)

Ok. Do you work for CEPR or Weisbrot? Have you been in contact with them? If so and you have received permission, then you can add proof of that permission to the file. Until then, I will just place the old file back once your file is deleted.--ZiaLater (talk) 04:16, 22 June 2017 (UTC)

@ZiaLater: -- Is there a reason the license on the page is not good enough for you? I'm puzzled at what you are doing. Gunshippolitico (talk) 04:21, 22 June 2017 (UTC)

It's not for me, it is for the Wikimedia Foundation. Files have to have proper license information connected to their sources. For instance, this image has an Attribution-ShareAlike 2.0 Generic CC BY-SA 2.0 license (see in the lower right hand side if on desktop). The image you uploaded is copied directly from the CEPR website and does not have any licensing information available. For more information, see Wikimedia's Terms of Use. Hope this helps!--ZiaLater (talk) 04:29, 22 June 2017 (UTC)

@ZiaLater: -- It appears to me that the entire CEPR site, including that image, is licensed under the license I indicated. That is the convention. If you disagree, please contact them to confirm. Do you work there and do you know more than me? If you work with them, please ask. Gunshippolitico (talk) 04:34, 22 June 2017 (UTC)

I do not work for nor am I involved in anything I edit on Wikipedia as that would be a potential conflict of interest. I enjoy editing Wikipedia too much to jeopardise my ability to make edits. I still do not see near the image where a license is displayed and I am not sure that a license covering their "work" would cover the files.--ZiaLater (talk) 04:43, 22 June 2017 (UTC)

@ZiaLater: -- Seems pretty clear cut that how it is listed is an example of this https://wiki.creativecommons.org/wiki/Marking_your_work_with_a_CC_license#Example:_Website Gunshippolitico (talk) 04:45, 22 June 2017 (UTC)
