Deep sky images
Hello. I see you have uploaded quite a lot of deep sky images, thanks for that! What concerns me is that you tagged them with the NASA PD license, but many of the images have been taken by ground based telescopes which makes me suspect they're not NASA images after all. Unfortunately, you haven't included the source for these images. Please fix this (or give me the source) so the issue can be resolved.--Jyril 12:54, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi Jyril, I got those other images from http://archive.stsci.edu/ which are linked in the astronomy program kstars that I used to gather deep space information. I found the following data use policy:

http://archive.stsci.edu/data_use.html

Others are from http://archive.noao.edu/ with these conditions of use: http://archive.noao.edu/nsa/condOfUse.html

Does this mean I have to delete some of the pictures? -- Mguppy 23:33, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of NGC 7217
A tag has been placed on NGC 7217 requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
