As Webmaster of the MCO website I can honestly say "they were my words"! See discussion on MCO page Pauken (talk) 06:31, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

I received no message to say this talk had been updated; that is why I did not reply about the removal of the photo. I am the webmaster for Preston Symphony Orchestra and was provided the image by a player whose family took the photograph with the express purpose of having it placed on their website. I assumed that the copyright information I provided when uploading to Wiki was appropriate. I wonder if you can provide a simpler method of my having the image re-instated than my having to decipher the rather legalistic avenues of approach evident in the post. If the image on the Orchestra's website contained a Creative Commons attribution, would that have obviated your deletion of the image? I'm not a very experienced Wiki contributor and wish to comply - I just need a little help here.


 * Assuming the Preston Symphony Orchestra and copryight owner wish to license the image under a creative-commons license, you or a member of the orchestra should read this page then send a declaration of consent, explicitly granting the license, by email, to the OTRS team. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 04:50, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
