[edit] Moscow images

Thanks for purging Moscow of all those junk images. Would you mind also taking a look at the images at Yerevan, some of which are tagged for speedy? Alr 21:02, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

Did you archived the images anywhere? I will try to email the author.--Nixer 21:06, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

You can attempt to relocate them at Wikipedia:Lost images. Please make sure that the author is willing to provide the images under a license that is compatible with our copyright policy.

Why did you delete the image that was really free? I mean the winter Moscow--Nixer 21:08, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

Several other images you uploaded were not actually free, so I assumed that the winter Moscow image also wasn't. Because you did not include a source link in the image description page, I had no way to test my hypothesis. When and if you reupload it, please be sure to include a hyperlink to the website you got it from.

Why did you deleted the triumphal arch, which I got from another Wikipedia article?--Nixer 21:16, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

The triumphal arch was eligible for deletion under our policy. It was added to the other article in error.

I'm sorry I had to delete this images, but copyright issues are a very important problem for Wikipedia. If we are too lax in enforcing copyright policy, we could be slapped with a lawsuit, which would cause massive damage to the project.

Is any purpose electronic use only license compatible with Wikipedia?--Nixer 08:38, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

I'm afraid not. The way I understand it, content must be available for any purpose in any medium of distribution. Ingoolemo ^talk 08:41, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
