Image upload

Hi Edna. Thanks for your work here on Citizendium, which I suspect will be very interesting given your profession. Just a note about http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/Image:Gilad.jpg which you recently uploaded. What do you mean by "Copyright free"? Who took the photo? Do you have documentation of having received permission that you can post as a subpage to the image? All of this information must be very clear as regards images. Please advise so we can work things out. - Stephen Ewen 01:35, 28 March 2007 (CDT)

Hi Stephen! Thanks for your note. The photographer for that pic is Robert Burns. However, I would like to remove that photograph and have just uploaded a better photograph which was taken by the photographer, Eamonn Mccabe, and is the property of Gilad Atzmon (i.e. he bought the copyright from the photographer). I have been compiling some info about Atzmon into an encyclopedic piece for Citizendium. So I contacted him about the copyright and received his response this morning, which confirms Atzmon is the copyright owner and gives permission to use it. If you would like him to send an e-mail directly to you confirming that, please e-mail him at Gilad Atzmon [giladatzmon@mac.com] Thanks Steven. Edna Spennato

Hi Edna, thanks for your note. Given what you said, what you need to do to upload the picture and any such like it for use in articles is follow the directions here http://en.citizendium.org/wiki?title=User_talk:Gary_Giamboi&diff=prev&oldid=100061183 while tailoring them for an image rather than text. Once you create the permissions page let me know so I can lock it. Also, you need to note in the article's image text box the copyright and permissions status.

Hi Stephen

I’m not too sue how to create a permission page for the pic. Also¸ what is meant by “A document image bearing the person's signature who is able to release the copyright would be best.” What qualifies as his signature? Would his e-mail be enough? Does he have to write it and sign it by hand¸ then scan it in? Looking forward to hearing back¸ and sorry for all the questions.

Thanks Edna SpennatoEdna

I have done everything except upload the proof, which I obviously do not have. See my additions to the image box at Gilad_Atzmon, and at the image's upload page. I also wrote directions for in the future: See Help:Images#Using_copyrighted_images_by_permission. Best, Stephen Ewen 00:12, 29 March 2007 (CDT)
