File copyright problem with File:Marlin stutzman 275.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:Marlin stutzman 275.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. dave pape (talk) 20:51, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

Talk Page
Please note you should not really create draft articles on your talkpage it would better to use a sandbox like User:Useyourhead33/Sandbox. If you click on it it will create a page you can use. MilborneOne (talk) 21:28, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

Deleted Cook Lougheeed draft from talk page
As mentioned above, you should use a draft page for draft articles (see Help:Userspace_draft and then So you made a userspace draft). The content is still available your talk's page history if you need to access it. I added the welcome notice at the top of this page that contains some links that you may find useful as a new editor. Thanks for your contributions and we look forward to them in the future! Jason Quinn (talk) 18:44, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

Deleted Cook Lougheed draft from talk page - Response
OK. Sorry about that. I did eventually use a Sandbox. Guess I forgot to delete the talk page version once I found the Sandbox concept.

I'm a web developer and write all kinds of database and java code ... but I have a tough time figuring out Wikipedia sometimes.

So I really appreciate your help and patience.

File permission correction with File: Marlin-Stutzman-175.jpg - Response
OK. I thought I had it all figured out .. but must be missing the permission email. Tomorrow I'll dig through Wikipedia and try to find the correct form. I've already checked with campaign and they'll get the letter sent. Thanks for your patience. I think I'm beginning to figure this out.

I've sent the copyright permissions form to the owner of the pictures. The owner has REQUESTED that I post this picture. I'm a volunteer for the campaign. Since I sent them the form letter before Christmas - it might take an extra day for them to send the letter to Wikipedia. The photo is clearly intended for Public Domain -- but you are making it so difficult I'm considering not contributing to Wikipedia ever again. Is that your intent?

Please do not delete these images - we are working on getting the copyright permissions.
Please do not delete the following images. We are in the process of getting Wikipedia all the copyright information. We just need a few extra days due to the holidays.

File:Marlin-Stutzman-275.jpg and File:Marlin-Stutzman-175.jpg

These images were provided to me by the campaign and I was requested to add them to the article on Marlin Stutzman. I've asked the campaign to send the author permissions letter to permissions-enwikimedia.org - but because of the Hoidays, we need an extra couple of days.

Moreover, the Campaign may post these images on their own website - thus putting the images in the public domain. Correct? So if they post the images at www.gomarlin.com and I cite that link as a reference -- will that satisfy Wikipedia? I've also already noted the email address of author - in the images' author line.

I hope you can help me and allow the pictures to remain for another week. I've spent so much time trying to understand Wikipedia rules and follow them --- but I'm obviously not violating a copyright when the author gave me the photo's and asked me to post them. Really - it's a campaign photo, not something likely to violate any creative artists rights, etc.

Please let me know if posting the images on the gomarlin.com web site and citing that as a reference for copyright is sufficient.

Best regards. UseYourHead33 17:45, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

No permission
No permission has arrived yet for the image File:Marlin-Stutzman-275.jpg, so unless you can confirm it will arrive soon, I will tag it for deletion again. You aksed for a week and it is now a month. ww2censor (talk) 17:48, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

Images
It's now March and I nominated your images File:Marlin-Stutzman-275.jpg and File:Marlin-Stutzman-large.jpg for deletion for missing evidence of permission, except for File:Marlin-Stutzman-Indiana-Senate.jpg which lacks a license alltogether. Regards Hekerui (talk) 17:27, 16 March 2010 (UTC)
