Permission to License Cochlear Image in Public Domain as well as GFDL?
Hi there, I'm a Wikipedia newbie, and wanted to ask you, the original creator of this cochlear image, if it would be okay to multi-license your image under both GFDL and Public Domain. Would this be okay? Information on multi-licensing is available here. --Dafty4 21:36, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Sendai CitySymbol.png)
Thanks for uploading Image:Sendai CitySymbol.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 16:38, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

Images made in Inkscape
Hi. According to your contributions list, you have uploaded several images that you have created using Inkscape. These images would be ideal candidates for uploading as SVGs, since that is Inkscape's native format, and Wikipedia has pretty good support for SVG images.

If you still have the original Inkscape images, would you be able to upload them in SVG format? Not only will they be higher quality, but it may save people possibly having to recreate them manually at a later date.

Fair use rationale for Image:Sapporo_CitySymbol.png
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Sapporo_CitySymbol.png. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rettetast 11:29, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

Better source request for File:Fukuoka-Quake MagDistribution English.PNG
Thanks for your upload to Wikipedia: You provided a source, but it is difficult for other users to examine the copyright status of the image because the source is incomplete. Please consider clarifying the exact source so that the copyright status may be checked more easily. It is best to specify the exact Web page where you found the image, rather than only giving the source domain or the URL of the image file itself. Please update the image description with a URL that will be more helpful to other users in determining the copyright status.

We are hoping to include the picture of yours (https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/cb/Cochlea-crosssection.svg) in this book (Chapter 11, Figure 11.6). Could we please have your permission for this? Thank you.

Please contact me at awarkoczewski dot yahoo dot com
