Welcome to Wikipedia.

 * I have reverted a few of your other good-faith edits. Please take care with your edits. By the way, it's spelled "grammar" not "grammer". Happy editing. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 07:41, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

Image questions
I have been working on creating an article on the wikipedia page www.nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/johannes_evert_Hendrik_Akkeringa. He is an artist and I wanted to include a few images of his work. I have received permission from the author of a book to use the images she used in the book on the wikipedia page. I tried to upload them but they were deleted. The images would be credited to both the original artist and the book where the images came from. I want to figure out which liscense I need to use to upload them again. I looked at other artists on wikipedia, and their art is displayed.

Please let me know how to solve this. I am an autoconfirmed user and my article on Johannes_Evert_Hendrik_Akkeringa, has been in existance for 4 days.

Thank you,

 * Hi there.


 * Wikipedia is free - anyone can copy it.


 * Therefore, we can only use 'free' pictures.

Pictures that are published in a book are almost definitely copyright - so we cannot use them, I'm sorry. Simply 'crediting' the artist is not enough - we would need them to give permission - ie to release the pictures under an appropriate licence. If you'd like to try that, you could write to the artist and ask them. See Finding images tutorial. Cheers,  Chzz  ► 12:16, 14 June 2010 (UTC)


 * (e/c) Her permission for us to use the images is not what is needed. All images used must be freely licensed under either the Creative Commons Attribution-Sharealike 3.0 Unported License (CC-BY-SA) or the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) or both so that our users can re-use the content. This means that permission for use here does not work. In order to give that free licensing, if the person is willing, it also has to be proved in a verifiable way. See Requesting copyright permission and Copyrights. Of course these pages are directed at English language pages—material more suitable to the Dutch Wikipedia article is probably at that Wikipedia (and this question is probably better asked at nl:Help:Helpdesk).--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 12:25, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
