Bangkok edit
Jiverage, I see that you've put a whole lot of work into the Bangkok wikipedia entry these last three days. Keep up the good work. Please do tag your images, since I do like them, and would like to see them stick around to compliment your write ups. Related to your images, I've had good success with the hazy humid Bangkok photos by running AutoColor and/or AutoContrast features of a digital photo software package. You might give that a whirl on Image:Bangkok Makok.JPG. I think you might like the result. - Thaimoss 14:17, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

About images edit
Hi, and welcome to Wikipedia! A note on image use, though: Wikipedia is a free encyclopedia, and is released under the GNU documentation license, which means images accompanying its articles have to be free images (or if none are available, need to fit rationale for fair use.) That means you can't just upload any photo you found on a web site, as they are most likely copyrighted by their respective owners. Thanks for understanding! Paul C 15:56, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Please respect copyright. edit
And don't lie about image sources Please take care to provide image source information correctly. If you didn't take the photo yourself, don't say you did. It's that simple. Paul_012 (talk) 15:59, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
- Sorry for my language in the above paragraph; I'm not actually looking for a fight. I do admire your work on expanding and improving the Bangkok article. I also would very much like it if you took a careful look at Wikipedia:Image use policy. Wikipedia strives to be a free encyclopaedia. That means having no images at all would still be better than having pages full of images which are copyright violations (which is of course illegal in itself). Paul_012 (talk) 16:42, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
- You might be approaching this the wrong way. Since Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia and Wikipedia is free content, the first and foremost objective in including images in articles would be to include free images which contribute to the understanding of the article. Free images aren't that hard to come by. Instead of trying to use images you find in forums, which are not likely to be free, the Wikimedia Commons is a repository of free content which may be used in Wikipedia, and has plenty of images which could be used in the Bangkok article. Take a look at the Bangkok page on the commons, or the Bangkok category. The Creative Commons also provides a search function for content licensed under CC; just be sure to select both works that may be used for commercial purposes and may be modified, adapted, or built upon. Paul_012 (talk) 17:38, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
- Images taken from forums aren't free because their copyright belongs to the creators of those images. The concept of copyright is that it exists from the creation of a work, regardless of whether the creator states it or not. Unless the creator of a work explicitly allows it to be used, that work is protected by copyright. This applies to any kind of works of art by anyone, be they professional or amateur.
- Seeing as you've already removed most of the images from the Bangkok article, I'm going to take them to the deletion process, unless you would prefer to do so yourself. Thanks for understanding. Paul_012 (talk) 13:33, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
- I have listed the images for deletion at Wikipedia:Copyright problems/2007 February 17/Images, FYI. Paul_012 (talk) 10:21, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
- I'm sorry; I thought you already understood. To state the point again, Copyright exists from the creation of a work of art whether or not the creator asserts it, and any use without permission of the creator, unless allowed by law, is copyright infringement.

Attack pages edit
Please do not make personal attacks on other people as you did at Dominic Stephenson. Wikipedia has a strict policy against personal attacks. Attack pages and images are not tolerated by Wikipedia and are speedily deleted. Users who continue to create or repost such pages and images will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Thank you.

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Bkkiff.jpg) edit
){kind=link}
Thanks for uploading Image:Bkkiff.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.
