Thermal images
Hi. The image you are trying to render in the Polar bear article has been deleted for having an incompatible license. Jkelly 19:15, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

I just deleted three of your image uploads. We don't accept noncommercial licenses here, or ones that do not permit derivative use. Please see Licensing for more information. Jkelly 19:22, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

These thermographic images (which would be great to have) are sourced to http://www.nutscode.com -- where they are shown to be under Creative Commons Noncommercial Non-derivative license. It's not a matter of choosing the correct license from our drop-down menu; we do not use media with that license. We do accept the CC-BY and CC-BY-SA Creative Commons licenses, which allow commercial and derivative use. If the copyright holder is comfortable relicensing these images to allow unrestricted commercial and derivative use, they can then be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons. We would need to be able to verify this change in licensing. I realise that this is somewhat confusing, please do ask if you have any questions, but please don't upload any more of these images unless they are re-licensed. Thanks for understanding.

 * I've unblocked your Commons account. If you are the copyright holder of the, um, "base images" being used, you can alter them and license them in any way you choose.  Just be very clear on the image description page about the source of the original image, the source of the data, and that you are the creator in every step of the process, and are comfortable with commercial and derivative use.  If you run into any complications, I'll be happy to help you out.  We just can't have images here that we are claiming are free for any use which are then sourced to a website that says that they aren't.  All of that said, I think that the thermal images would be a great addition, so I hope that it ends up being that we can use them.  Jkelly 20:23, 16 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Sounds like you have figured out a good solution. Jkelly 20:42, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

Thermographic images of tarantulas
Nutscode,

The reason I have been removing the images is that they are being placed hapzardly on the page with 0 context, caption, or explanation of what it is and what it's supposed to show. You placed the photo in the 'size color type' section and it doesn't really belong there. Tarantula circulation or cold bloodedness (not a fair term, tarantulas don't really have blood per say) is covered on the spider page. Their circulation is not unique, the article tries to cover what makes tarantulas unique in the world of spiders.

As for the gallery idea, I would be against a section of just 'neat' pictures on the page. Wikipedia isn't a photo collection.

I'm not sure there is a currently a section on the page where these thermographic images fit. If you find a place to work it in, great. Another suggestion would be to start a discussion on the talk page, maybe link to a few of the picture in commons, and explain what you have, what they show, and where, if at all, do they belong on this page.

Another place to look might be on the wikiproject:spiders page
