Re: Blackmagick5.jpg
See why it was deleted. My guess is they you selected "For Misplaced Pages use only" (or something of that phrasing) in the dropdown box on the upload page. We don't want images that only we can use, we want images that are so free, anyone can use them for any reason. Now, you said you got an email from the owner. What did the owner say as far as you being able to publish the image? We may still be able to reupload (or undelete) the image and get it saved through another method, depending on what the painter said. Lemme know, and that'll determine our next step. --MECU≈talk 14:44, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
- For how-to on archiving, see Misplaced Pages:How to archive a talk page. This not only applies to your talk page, but any talk page. I use a bot to do it for me, but I read that it's broke right now and haven't looked into the other one yet. But you don't need that capability yet, but you certainly can use it if you want to have it done for you automatically.
- As for the image, it appears you don't want to try and get it freely licensed. We must then use it under fair use, which requires a few more rules and things to do. See WP:FUP for the policy and guideline. Be sure to read the criteria (mid-way down, numbered list) for the rules. I believe this would meet all of them, but you should be familiar with all of them. Before you upload the image, scale it down so you meet the FUP; I like 300px wide as a maximum (keep the aspect ratio), but there isn't a hard rule, but 300px no one will complain about being too large. If the image is already smaller than 300px wide, (like 250), then definitely still reduce it further, at least to 200 or 150 wide. When you re-upload the image (this is easier than going through deletion review), you can re-upload under the same filename, but this time, type {{Art}}, and write the rationale. Be sure to provide the source (URL). You don't need to do anything with the drop-down box. Click "watch this" before you upload. You'll probably get an error after you click upload saying that a file under this name was previously deleted, just click "save" anyways and you'll be done. Then, you should immediately go into the article and insert the item. Lemme know when you get done and I can take a look. See Misplaced Pages:Image copyright tags/Fair use for all the fair use tags if you are going to upload another image that isn't art. --MECU≈talk 15:02, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
- I see two major problems: One, you give a source of photobucket.com, but there's a watermark on the image from another website (of the artist perhaps) so you should give that as a source. Two, it appears merely decorative in the article, since this artwork isn't specifically talked about at all. As it stands now, the image would likely fail to remain upon a fair use review. See #8 in the fair use policy. --MECU≈talk 22:47, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
- Unfortunately, emailing and asking for information might be considered WP:NPOV (since it's from the author) and WP:OR since we can't verify the information anywhere. You would need to find a (fairly) neutral reliable source somewhere talking about this work. --MECU≈talk 23:08, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
- Also, you may want to re-upload the image (under the same name) because the new source you gave has the (c) watermark slightly different. You should also provide a link to a HTML page where the image is being used. (Be sure to reduce the image again) --MECU≈talk 23:10, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Undertow- thanks for the latest rv. I too believed it was nonsense, however, did not know whether or not it should have been removed (it was not really "harming" the article, however I did come to the same conclusions you did). D-Hell-pers 01:58, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
