About the aerial photo of Waco
Nice photo. I see you're listed as the rights holder, so presumably you're the photographer. What were you flying in when you took the picture, out of curiosity? —C.Fred (talk) 17:25, 20 October 2010 (UTC)


 * A couple of co-workers took their small plane to Sugar Land for a meeting. They took pictures of various places along the way.

 * So is it really your own work? Or have the co-workers licensed it under the terms described? Right now, you're claiming the picture as your own. —C.Fred (talk) 21:25, 21 October 2010 (UTC)


 * I guess technically the photo is not my own because I was not behind the camera lens. I uploaded the photo once before but it was deleted because of an incorrect copyright declaration.  The co-worker who took the photo has no problem with it being added to Wikipedia.  So, what must I do to keep it from being deleted again?

 * Instead of attributing it as your own work, attribute it to your co-workers. Verify with them that they intended to release it under the license you specified and ask how they want their name(s) to appear in the attribution. (See File:I-20 GA 402 bridge sign.JPG, which I published myself under my Wikipedia username.) —C.Fred (talk) 18:30, 25 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Well, we work for a state agency which technically and legally makes this photo public domain.

 * Not necessarily. That's true at the federal level, but I'm not sure it's automatically true for state agencies. —C.Fred (talk) 18:35, 28 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Please note the PD-USGov template on Commons, which states that the public domain terms do not apply to the work of the states the way they do the work of the federal government. There is no PD-TexasGov template. —C.Fred (talk) 18:37, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
