- The information on the image page is just saying that you need to provide a licence. In this case we must assume that the image is copyrighted (since it comes from a commercial website and I couldn't find a licence for the image on that website). So the only way we can use it is if the image is Fair use. I don't think it is fair use, and thus it should get deleted.--Commander Keane 01:03, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
Could I request of that site permission to use the image? Would that be acceptable if I secured permission?
- If the site allows permission for just Misplaced Pages then that is still not acceptable. We can use the image is they release it under a free licence, like GFDL or public domain (but they may not want to, becasue then it can be sold and they won't get credit). The only other way we could use the image is if you said it was a publicity shot and tagged it with {{Promophoto}}--Commander Keane 01:16, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
I will work on getting that done then. Let's hope they reply. Thanks For Your Help TCPWIKI

Suggestion of Controversial Edits and Vandalsim
You posted about controversial edits, but I'm afraid I have no idea of what edit you are referring to. http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=User_talk:75.57.37.61
Okay I notice that you are a highly opiniated person. Please point to me the article that you have deemed vandalization. Thank you. 75.57.37.61
Okay Todd Packer was the edit in question. Thanks, I added that in a more succinct way, it was a reference to Ryan the temp calling him that. It wasn't vandalism, but was inappropriate. 75.57.37.61 03:53, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Bostonhomepage.JPG)
Thanks for uploading Image:Bostonhomepage.JPG. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. 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 for use on Misplaced Pages (see our policy for non-free media).
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 Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Aksibot 15:56, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

Volunteer opportunity in Bethesda, Thursday, July 16
The Wikimedia Foundation will be conducting an all-day Academy at the National Institutes of Health, in Bethesda, Maryland, on Thursday, July 16. The team that will be teaching at the Academy, a mix of paid staff and volunteers, is looking for four more volunteers to be teaching assistants, providing one-to-one assistance in workshops whenever a workshop participant has a problem following the instructional directions. (We currently have two editors signed up as teaching assistants, and are looking for a total of six.)
The NIH editing workshops are only for two hours, but volunteers are asked to meet the Wikimedia Foundation team at the hotel in Bethesda at about 7:15 a.m. (time to be finalized shortly) and to stay for the entire day, which ends at 4:30 p.m. Lunch will be provided. (The full schedule can be found here.)
The team is not necessarily looking for expert editors (though they are welcome), just people who can help novices who might get stuck when trying to do some basic things. If you've been an editor for at least 3 months, and have done at least 500 edits, you probably qualify.
If you're interested, please send John Broughton an email. If you might be interested, but would like further information, please post a note on his user talk page, so that he can respond there, and others can see what was asked.
