 * Even if the prismgem website does own the image, we really don't know if User:Prismgem is the owner of the image's copyright. The website explicitly states "©2007 Prism Gem LLC. All rights reserved.", meaning the picture cannot be in public domain unless they provide a separate notice informing such an exception. Actually I've emailed the website regarding the issue a few months back and they haven't replied me back yet. The picture is also used in one of my articles and I would be really glad if we could obtain an evidence that it is indeed in PD, however it seems to be unlikely. --BorgQueen (talk) 06:25, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was: deleted some commons showing through. Skier Dude ( talk ) 02:01, 18 September 2009 (UTC) User uploaded images show wide access to Albanian military (Army, Navy and Air Force) and a images uploaded without metadata or showing a wide range of cameras used. Some images are scans of older images. Seems highly unlikely that the user owns the rights to all these images. Apology a small number have been moved to commons but are all listed due to the numbers involved. MilborneOne (talk) 21:00, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

Administrator Skier Dude


Dear friend. The VERY first time I got through the AAF  page at Wikipedia I was just... voiceless.. There was nothing in there a part from a fake picture of an AA battery of Hawk - a missile that the AAF never possessed. Even at the time I am writing somebody from you - administrators/smart guys living like 6000 miles away from this small and forgotten country, deliberately release (or make possible the publishing) fake information on the page about weaponry/technologies the AAF never had. And you never were in here - you hardly heard before the Albanians had an army. My will is/was not to distort any facts. I hate that king of action. There are already many Albanians hanging around the web, who will easily write all kind of rubbish just for satisfying some sick nationalism pride - I AM NOT ONE OF THOSE!

On the pictures.

Most part of the pictures is taken through my cameras. I posses 2 of them. A personal one and an office one. My colleges (other advisors) have their own. Sometimes we have been using those ones. When I wasn't carrying any of those with me I was happy to use my mobile phone camera just to not let the moment fly away. And it is more than three years I have access to AAF military units, take part in meetings, exercises, training, and conferences - not because I want to take beautiful pictures or write soldier fairy tales on the Wikipedia - THIS IS NOT MY JOB! But because I am a NATO advisor focused, I believe, in something much more important than that.

Many of the Albanian military personnel have willingly helped me with pictures they have had the possibility to shoot. This country is not US. A normal Albanian does not care too much if he is going to earn any stupid cent from a picture that (may be) only a few nationals are more than happy to see published. This is why the pictures are released to public domain. Only a few of them - depicting old Albanian Navy were published under a specified license - just to protect the fact that they were so unique and for respect to the gentlemen - former navy officer who was more than happy to see his work published.

And most important: I didn't start all this to earn any thing. It took valuable time from me, it took hours.. Do not forget: I am not a professional user of Wikipedia, Wikipedia is not my life – I am just a big fan of it who loves transparency and the right to access the RIGHT information. This is why I mainly focused on AAF. That is/was my field of expertise. AND I HAVE DONE MY BEST TO RESPECT YOUR RULES.

This is all folks. The rest is up to you. >
