Talk:MorgueFile

I find this absolutely unfair, wikipedia will use images from the morguefile.com for their articles and have an article about a similar site called stock.xchnge but deletes my article- for morgue file even though it is a legitimate term. This is completely unacceptable, if an article about morguefile is not good enough for wikipedia than neither should its content- if this article is deleted please remove all material from wikicommons immediately. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.119.248.2 (talk) 5 April 2006

Miscellaneous edits
Changing the article to add more information about the site, especially the MorgueFile Free License. Also removed the paragraph about Doug Wiley which more appropriately belongs on the Morgue File page, where it already resides. Not sure, but perhaps there needs to be a disambiguation page?

MorgueFile Free License
Something should be said about the compatibility of this license as it relates to Creative Commons licensing. I think that it is not compatible because it says, "You are prohibited from using this work in a stand alone manner." I do not know what that means, but it sounds like a non-free license and something which ought not be in Wikimedia Commons.  Blue Rasberry   (talk)   14:06, 9 April 2013 (UTC)

That is a good point about how it compares to the Creative Commons licensing, but maybe that distinction doesn't belong in this article. From the licensing page of the morguefile website: "Stand alone basis - You can not sell, license, sublicense, rent, transfer or distribute this image exactly as it is without alteration."

Or, on second thought, maybe the distinction does need to be made. Cielbie (talk) 18:33, 7 May 2013 (UTC)
