Hi Burnsy and welcome to Wikipedia!

Just a quick question about the Callair A-2 photo you recently uploaded - are you the actual copyright owner of this image? If not, do you know who the owner is? Cheers --Rlandmann 02:40, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)


 * Hi again and thanks for the email. Yes, there is a problem using this photo - Wikipedia is unable to use copyright material unless the copyright owner releases it under a licence compatible with Wikipedia's GFDL copyright licence. Only the copyright owner can agree to do this.


 * Most works from the U.S. (like this photo) are protected by copyright until 70 years after the death of the author/photographer. If the work is anonymous, it is protected for 120 years from the time that it was written/the photo was taken!


 * Sorry to have been the bearer of bad tidings so early into your time with Wikipedia - hopefully you won't be put off! Just remember - anything that you upload here, whether pictures or text, either has to be your own work, or be copyright-free in one way or another. If you have any more questions about this, please feel free to ask.


 * PS. Just a quick tip - it's better practice to reply to users on their Talk pages (eg. mine is here than via email)
