Hi. Sorry it took me a few minutes to reply, I had to figure out what you were talking about. First, I did not delete any images, I do not have such powers. I simply removed the image from the article. Secondly, the image had been tagged as "Fair Use Replaceable" meaning several things: That you had uploaded the image and claimed a "Fair Use" copyright license on the article, and also that someone else had disputed that license usage on that image on Wikipedia, saying that the image was "replaceable", meaning that it could be replaced with a free image, and not the copyrighted version you uploaded. The fix for this is quite simple: You take a picture of the school and upload it and release it under the GDFL license using PD-self license tag. You can then re-add the picture into the article! It's that simple. I agree Wikipedia can be confusing at times and especially images aren't the easiest thing to understand how they fit in Wikipedia, but keep trying and just do your best. If you need help, just ask me or the friendly folks at Help desk. Lastly, it's preferred to contact folks using these User talk pages, and not by email, though that's fine, it's just easier on these talk pages (for most folks). Editing them is just like editing an article, just be sure to sign them. Good luck. -- MECU ≈ talk 02:52, 19 December 2006 (UTC)


 * The license would only be slightly different, as it would use GDFL. You should look at Requesting copyright permission which describes the steps needed and will give you help in asking for permission. I used this to ask for permission on items from the University of Colorado and to my surprise, I actually got a response. I didn't get permission, but I wasn't even expecting a reply. When you do get permission, be sure to put on the image description page that the image can be found at (the URL of the website), but permission was granted to release the image under the GDFL by the school. That will help you in the future. Good luck! -- MECU ≈ talk 20:38, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
