Requesting permission to use photo
Response: Sun Oct 01 2006, 16:09 Yes, please. I'm a regular user of Wikipedia and I have put many links to it. I would like to get more of my photos onto Wikipedia, with links to my sites. You can go ahead and use this one with pleasure. Do you want another version without my copyright mark on the photo? Thanks, Aidan

Permission for use sought: Sun Oct 01 2006, 15:44 Would it be possible to use the photo 1927 (http://www.aidan.co.uk/photo1927.htm) on the webpage http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A57%28M%29_motorway? This not-for-profit website is an online encyclopedia. The photo would be classed as Copyrighted but used with permission (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Withpermission). And obviously full copyright information about yourself and a link to your website would be published.

Dispute re fair use
We have been given permission to use the image.

"...illustrates a subject for which a free image that provides substantially the same information might reasonably be found or created"

If there was a free one available I would have used it; there isn't! Until there is, I propose we keep this one and then replace it with a free one when it becomes available. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Tfoxton (talk • contribs) 21:22, 1 January 2007 (UTC).
 * First, permission to use the image on Wikipedia isn't good enough. Wikipedia is a free content encyclopedia, which means our content has to be reusable by other people, for other purposes, including commercial ones. If you can persuade the copyright holder to license the image under the GFDL that would be great; see WP:ERP for some suggestions. In the meantime, this is a copyrighted image of something anyone could take a freely released picture of, making it replaceable. —Angr 20:49, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
