Images

I can email Georges Jeanty, and ask for the permission. -- Paxomen 17:47, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
Please, note that Misplaced Pages no loger accepts "by permission" images. You are encouraged, of course, to ask him to release the image under a free licensing like {{gfdl}}, {{cc-by}} or {{cc-by-sa}}--Abu Badali 18:30, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
God, what is your problem? Both of those images are clearly promotional images released by NBC to advertise their series; using neither of them will harm the sales of the shows they promote. I've seen the Oscar image specificially used in several news articles. Give it a rest. --DrBat 22:12, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
They are not "clearly promotional". Some images like these may not be intended for widespread distribution. As a rule of thumb, always read the "Terms of Use" and "Copyright Notice" in the site you're grabbing images from.--Abu Badali 22:20, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
Gee, and I always thought Misplaced Pages was non-commercial.
What exactly do you contribute to Misplaced Pages, by the way, besides constantly trying to remove all the images? --DrBat 22:30, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
Misplaced Pages no loger accepts non-commercial-only images.
This is not the place to chat about me. --Abu Badali 22:40, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
Removing unproperly tagged images which we may be using illegally or at least not in accordance with policy is an important service and I commend Abu Badali of being a key part of keeping[REDACTED] free and legally compliant. If you don't understand the reason this is important, I suggest you read our policies etc and in the mean time refrain from adding any work you did not create yourself from scratch as you appear to lack an understanding of the importance of respecting copyright on wikipedia. Nil Einne 16:08, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
No, it's true. Abu has contributed almost nothing of his own; all he does is tear down the work of others.
Furthermore, the idea of NBC suing Misplaced Pages, a non-commercial encylopedia, over their promotional images being used in articles for their shows is absolutely ridiculous. Also, I'd assume they would prefer decent, official images to represent their materials, as opposed to 'crappy-yet-free' images like this one and this one. --DrBat 19:11, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
