Your recent edits
Hi, there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot 03:19, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Andrew Leigh MP.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Andrew Leigh MP.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
 * make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
 * Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to , stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add OTRS pending to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to .

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at File copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in [ your upload log]. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 23:48, 26 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Hello Andrew. The official photos of MPs and senators from the APH website are, sadly, not licensed under a Wikipedia-compliant Creative Commons license and as such shouldn't be uploaded. You may wish to raise this with the APH web team and ask them to update the licensing conditions (especially as the current restrictive copyright conditions for these photos are not in the spirit of the Government 2.0 agenda or the Intellectual Property Principles for Australian Government agencies, and mean that we don't have good photos for most MPs and senators). Regards, Nick-D (talk) 00:48, 8 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Hi Nick, I'm happy to raise the general issue of parliamentary Creative Commons licenses. In the meantime, I can warrant that my own image (Andrew Leigh MP.jpg) is available for use on Wikipedia. It was taken for me by the parliamentary photographer, David Foote, and is for whatever use I want to put it to. For example, you'll see that I've got it available for download from the 'About' page of my website, www.andrewleigh.com. If you require confirmation that andrewleigh=Andrew Leigh MP, just send an email to andrew.leigh.mp@aph.gov.au, and I'll bounce back a quick reply. Regards, andrewleigh


 * Andrew, The quickest way to sort out the permissions for the image would be to email permissions-commons@wikimedia.org with the file path for the uploaded file and your permission to use it (using the template wording at WP:CONSENT or something similar), and the volunteers who look after that mailbox will tag it as being released for use (please see Contact us/Photo submission for background). Thanks a lot for uploading the photo. Regards, Nick-D (talk) 12:01, 8 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Nick, I've done exactly that, but again this morning it's been deleted. Not sure what else I can do.


 * There can be a delay in responding to these emails, unfortunately. File:Andrew Leigh MP.jpg is now tagged as having been actioned. If you'd like to change or update this image you can do so via the 'Upload a new version of this file' link in the 'File history' part of that record on Wikimedia Commons. Thanks again for donating the photo. Regards, Nick-D (talk) 08:14, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Christopher Joye
