 * As you appear to have already realized, the Move button would have been the proper way to handle what you wanted done. One of the key features of the Move button is that all history goes along to the new location.  Not that big a deal on the page currently in discussion, as it only had a couple of revisions, but it can be critical on older pages.  Also, keep in mind that blanking out a page is never the correct way to handle things.  The project has proper ways to handle pretty much every legitimate reason you might think about blanking a page, and none of them actually involve blanking the page.  Anyway, blanking out pages is a very, very common tactic of true vandals, so it is one of the things that the bot, Tawkerbot2, watches for. - TexasAndroid 16:46, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

 * That's good news. Would you please add this information to to Image:Dijon.jpg, since right now it looks very much like a random image uploaded from the web and tagged as GFDL.  Best practice is to have the copyright holder email permissions AT wikimedia.org about licensing terms.  Thanks for clearing this up.  Jkelly 19:27, 28 August 2006 (UTC)


 * If you want to take a look at what we have written down, you'll find it at Image use policy, Licensing and then there are some examples at Boilerplate requests for permission. I suspect that if you simply write "I, Dozens, assert that the copyright holder of this image, Mr. John Doe, told me that the image can be licensed under the GFDL." that very few people are going to demand further evidence.
