Contest Speedy Deletion
I want to contest this speedy deletion; everything MakerBot does is open source - GPL or CC. I am confident that I will be able to obtain explicit permission, but I may need more time. I have no objection to a normal deletion proposal. --Guy Macon (talk) 15:17, 25 September 2011 (UTC)

Original author contacted
Hi Guy, I have contacted Bre Pettis, the photographer, and asked him to change the CC licence on Flickr. Am hoping he'll reply shortly. (Apologies if this is NOT where I'm supposed to post this reply) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Henkk78 (talk • contribs) 14:47, 26 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks! I am pretty new at this (I have requested and received permission on an image once before), but I believe this is the right place. For anyone else reading this, there is a related discussion at User talk:Henkk78. --Guy Macon (talk) 19:11, 26 September 2011 (UTC)

Repaired fields
Given the current license @ Flickr, I have removed the template, and added the generally used Information template, as an example. In future, the use of Flickr -> Commons upload tool fills all this stuff in correctly, as do the std WP Upload File tools. If one has a Flickr account, one can 1. add another Flickr user as a contact, 2. Send them a msg requesting a license change. Note: if people don't check their Flickr accts frequently, or don't have "send updates to email" enabled, response could take a while. --Lexein (talk) 11:13, 28 September 2011 (UTC)
