Accepting Adoption Invitation
Lympathy, I would like to accept your offer for adoption! I have a number of questions, how/where would you like me to submit those to you? Thanks in advance for your time and help! Spirits Fan (talk) 21:39, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
 * It's great that you have lot's of questions. Probably the best place to ask them is here on my talk-page for the moment.  Lympathy    Talk  12:08, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

Thanks again for the offer to help. My main question is this. I have a better idea now about copyright sensitivity, but how would you suggest that I as an employee of the company that owns a brand upload photos that will definitely add value to the brand's article? I'm afraid that any additional work done on the article - however neutral, fact-based or credible - will be seen by the community as self-promotion. I hope that the dialogue I've had around unblocking my account and changing my username shows that I have the true spirit of collaboration and compliance in mind. Thanks for any thoughts. Also, fyi, I'll be traveling the next week so I will get back to you on my return 13.Oct.08. Cheers, have a good week. Spirits Fan (talk) 13:48, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia differs from other organisations by being open to anyone. With this brings complications in legality and copyright especially with images. The requirements for image uploads are more rigorous than other websites and are bound by strict policies which may make it difficult for you to upload the exact images you want without violating policy. To stay within regulations, it is likely you can only upload low-quality images that are non-free.

Here may be some areas of interest for you to read: Your employer is irrelevant for this as it is a strict policy and their is no discrimination or lee-way. Lympathy   Talk  14:15, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
