 * Thanks for your message. I have to be away from my PC for a couple of hours, I'll get back to you.  Mr Stephen 15:50, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Let me start by making it clear I'm not an admin, I'm just an editor. In answer to your question, then if you hold the copyright, then of course you can post it to Wikipedia.  By doing so, you agree to license it under the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) (see Text of the GNU Free Documentation License), which (AIUI) allows anyone to modify or use the material for any purpose - including making money by selling it.  The position is summed up at Copyrights and Requesting copyright permission; also have a read of Ownership of articles.  If you make it clear that you have released the material, then people like me won't try to remove it.  If I can help more, ask and I will try.  Regards, Mr Stephen 21:01, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Lahannya.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Lahannya.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rettetast (talk) 13:53, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
