User talk:Marcwade

Welcome!
Welcome to Wikipedia, Marcwade! I have been editing Wikipedia for quite some time. I just wanted to say hi and welcome you to Wikipedia! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on or by typing helpme at the bottom of this page. I love to help new users, so don't be afraid to leave a message! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Oh yeah, I almost forgot, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on, or place helpme on your talk page and ask your question there. Again, welcome! Kelly hi! 23:48, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Suzie Plakson photo
Hi, Marc - I noticed you uploaded a promo photo of Ms. Plakson - unfortunately you selected a noncommercial license for the photo, which means it will be deleted here shortly, as those licenses are not acceptable for Wikipedia. If you need assistance with selecting a good license for a promo photo of Ms. Plakson, just reply here and I will be happy to help out. Kelly hi! 23:50, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Help request
helpme The image was provided to me by Ms. Plakson, as it is a personal photo in her possession. How should I select an appropriate license that allows her (or me) to post that photo? Thanks. Marcwade (talk) 16:22, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Hi, Marc...this page contains the release and e-mail address for Ms. Plakson to correctly license the photo. She can either link to the photo page here on Wikipedia (link), or include her photo as an attachment to the e-mail she sends to our Communication folks. Kelly  hi! 16:33, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Marc, I see you're online again - any luck with permission from Ms. Plakson? Kelly  hi! 01:49, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

She and I were just discussing this (hadn't had a chance until now) but now I see that the photo has been deleted completely. Will ask her to send the appropriate license e-mail with the photo attached.Marcwade (talk) 01:59, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, I stalled as long as I could but the image had to be deleted as not complying with site policies. Kelly  hi! 01:58, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

OK - we conferred, and she sent a new photo with license information to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org. Will they approve the photo and post it? How will we know when it's okay to attach that photo to her article? Marcwade (talk) 00:39, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
 * They sometimes take a few days, but it shouldn't be long. I would imagine the volunteer who replies will also post the picture to the article, but you should get a response when the photo is uploaded. Kelly  hi! 00:43, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
