Terra Galleria photography
I noticed you have added links to various pages on terragalleria.com, featuring excellent photos of article subjects. If you are the photographer, as your username suggests, would you consider uploading some of your photos and licensing them under the GFDL? See also Image use policy for more information. Wikipedia could always use more contributors who are skilled photographers. ~leif &#9786; HELO 10:35, 23 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Unfortunately, it would be problematic for me to license under the GFDL. The reason for that is that I do license images commercially in a "right-managed" way, where I do need to keep track of the commercial licensing history of each image to inform clients of possible conflits. For that reason, I need to have a more strict policy, that is spelled out on the terragalleria.com site. This policy would not be easy to enforce if the images are directly on the wikipedia site. Note however, even under that policy, many individuals and organizations still quality for free use, and we are always happy to grant them free permissions. QT Luong.

Deletion of Links
Just a heads up that User:Colin.faulkingham and probably others have deleted your links to the very high quality photographs on terragalleria. See the Big Bend page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Npgallery (talk • contribs)
