- Hello Dori,
- thank you for your Posting. But could you please calrify a bit more what you mean with advertising / promotional purposes?
- We shoot Gigapixel Panoramic Images and publish them on our Website. Unfortunately there is no technical possibility to
- integrate Gigapixel Images within Wikipedia. That's the reason why we link to the original Page. The Page is free of
- advertisement and the project is 100% non commercial. (on the contrary --> it costs us a lot of money to shoot / publish
- those panoramic gigapixel images) We also share a smaller version of the Panoramic (5.000px width) with the public under
- CC-BY-SA-3.0 on Wikimedia Commons. I think it's a good addition to have a (very) high resolution Picture of cities for
- Wikipedia?! (and this even for free-use release)
- Please show me your opinion on this Topic

- My opinion? Don't.
- If your pictures are so outstanding that they're worth including as the one exceptional example, then other people—ones who aren't employed by the company—will be happy to add the links. As it is though, you aren't contributing anything to Wikipedia except links to your site, which will always appear to be promotional. Dori ☾Talk ⁘ Contribs☽ 10:20, 29 February 2012 (UTC)
- Hi Dori, I respect your thinking about this. I just started a discussion on the Mittersill Page whether others see it the same way. [1] Talk:Mittersill Gpix (talk) 11:41, 29 February 2012 (UTC)
