User talk:ThorsProvoni

Welcome
, welcome to Wikinews! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

Our key policies - if you read anything, read these! Here a few pointers to help you get to know Wikinews: There are always things to do on Wikinews: By the way, you can sign your name on Talk pages using four tildes ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ), which produces your name and the current date. If you have any questions, you can ask them at the water cooler or to anyone on the Welcommittee, or ask me on my Talk page. Again, welcome! &mdash; Doldrums(talk) 03:53, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

 * I couldn't find the image on their site, but it does have a notice saying " © 2002 Islamic Society Of Boston." at the bottom. I suggest you send them an email, perhaps after reading w:Wikipedia:Requesting_copyright_permission and w:Wikipedia:Example requests for permission. Be sure to ask them what can be done with the image: (1) Modification? (2) Redistribution? (3) Use for any purpose, including commercial purposes? (4) Attribution? . Just this image or all their images?


 * You should clearly suggest a licence and explain what it means: public domain means anyone can do anything with it. If you receive a positive answer, you should consider uploading it to Wikimedia Commons, which is the appropriate place for free images. You should send a copy of the confirmation email to permissions A/T wikimedia DOT org, with the name of the image on Commons. They will confirm the licence and put a link to the email which can only be viewed by a small group of trusted users who have a special account (called an OTRS account), to guarantee your privacy.


 * As you see it's fairly complex, so if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask. Of course it's a lot of work so you might want to consider working out the problem with the article first. If the article isn't published the image will get deleted anyway because this site is not a collection of unused images.
