Your quote

I just noticed your large quotation from Cyde regarding the Publicgirluk matter. It is good to see you back editing, but I don't think so prominently displaying this quotation about that matter on your pages is appropriate or helpful. At least, I'm curious about what the purpose is. Thanks and regards, Newyorkbrad 22:15, 6 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know if you watchlist pages you edit, but I responded on my talk to your comments there. Regards, Newyorkbrad 16:59, 8 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Moving my photos to commons

Please do not move my photos to Commons without consulting with me first. Thank you. Jeff dean 13:46, 11 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Why not? But OK, consider yourself consulted. // Liftarn

Hi Jeff. The licence template that you've been using allows this providing attribution is given. —M (talk • contribs) 16:48, 11 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

To add: Wikipedia's goal is to have free content. To facilitate this, it offers the option of multi-licensing under GFDL and creative commons licenses. This is the preferred method of licensing your images for use in the encyclopedia. You've been using the copyright with attribution notice which is a bit deprecated but does allow any use with attribution. I imagine you've been doing this with the idea that you could retain some control over the use of your images. Unfortunately, there is no way to do this as Wikipedia is slowly moving to a policy of only accepting contributed material that is completely free of any copyright restrictions. If you want to continue to contribute (and I hope you do) I think you're going to have to accept the fact that you relinquish control over the use your work once you contribute it to the project. —M (talk • contribs) 16:54, 11 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have stopped posting photos, and I do not intend to resume under the circumstances. Even recognizing the openness of Wikipedia, I resent having my photos edited or sent to Commons without prior consultation with me. I think that is simple courtesy and respect for photographers who post their work as volunteers. I am told by others it is too much work for others to show respect by consulting and that I have no right to expect it. So be it. Clearly, my POV is a minority of one, so I will not longer submit photos. If I had the capability to delete what I have submitted, I would do so; but, unfortunately, I do not. I guess I am not cut out for this. Jeff dean 17:53, 11 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
