I'm really glad to have encountered you, Moeron, as I have been a big fan of your edits on the Grateful Dead article. I need help. Using the image of String Cheese Incident on jam band as a template (obviously it is dubious that that very famous band photographer uploaded the photo himself), I have uploaded these images from www.bruuuce.com as per written permission having been granted by Si Twining, the owner and operator of the site and owner of the copyrights to the images in question. Twining has granted permission for the images to be used on Wikipedia in the Bruce Hornsby article. As I know that you are a very dedicated editor of the Grateful Dead page, I was hoping that you might assist me in properly documenting these images...since it appears that my use of the image from the jam band article as a template might have been the wrong template to choose, to say the least. Sorry for the inconvenience...only trying to improve the article. (Feel free to reply on my talk page). Best...Snidleysnide 21:45, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. For the time being, I have left the images that I feel are suitable for the article uploaded. Hopefully correcting my apparent mistagging will be something we can accomplish smoothly and easily. Si made his intentions clear, that he was very enthusiastic about the images being uploaded. Your advice is much appreciated, as the Hornsby article has had some difficulty getting images attached (mainly problems with other users). Snidleysnide 21:52, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks so much. I've just emailed Si the suggested form letter, and I'll forward that to the Wikipedia folks upon his response. I know I'm meant to post a notice on the image pages after forwarding the response to Wikipedia, but is there anything else to do just yet? By the way, while were at it, are the album cover images on the Hornsby article done properly? Thanks Snidleysnide 22:12, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

One more quick question, terribly sorry. I've just received the confirmation note from Si granting permissions (great news!) for the Hornsby images. I'm poised to contact Wikipedia, and I understand that I need to tag the image pages with an "awaiting ticket" note...in the meantime, since I evidently mistagged the copyright on the images to begin with (they were uploaded as if I were the photographer, as you pointed out), which specific copyright tagging should I change that to? (Or is that something that will be reviewed and taken care of when I contact Wikipedia with the request/confirmation notes). Thank you so very much, your patience and support in dealing with this is greatly appreciated! Snidleysnide 23:56, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have the confirmation of permissions, and I am awaiting your further advice regarding changing the copyright tagging before sending my request and my confirmation to Wikipedia. Thanks Snidleysnide 20:46, 2 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. I'm not a sock puppet, and I have been nothing but sincere and cordial to you. It hurts me that you took time to contribute comments to the sock puppet accusation before answering how the images should be tagged. Please respond to me so that I can submit the request/confirmation to Wikipedia. Snidleysnide 21:07, 2 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Uh, I was adding neutral information. This gives the admin evidence here to show that you are doing nothing but being careful about the images you upload to Wikipedia, which is a focus point of the RFC. If I was condoning it, I would have put Support in the comments secion, but I didn't. -- moe.RON ^{Let's talk | done} 21:16, 2 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry. It just feels pretty bad to be accused. I tried putting the Help tag on my talk page but it didn't create a usable link. My question is what tag should I apply to the images NOW, right NOW...then I will send the email to Wikipedia as the instructions direct. I'll also leave a note on the image page saying that Wikipedia has been contacted, etc...but I want to tag the images correctly first (you had indicated that I tagged the images as if I were the photographer, which I am not claiming to be). Snidleysnide 21:26, 2 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't wish to crowd you page with this matter, but, for the record, I have no idea who User: Snidleysnide is, but I'm happy that images seem to have finally found a home on the Bruce Hornsby article. Thanks for the part you played in that. BoaTeeth 02:26, 3 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think that I've gotten the image situation sorted out. I got feedback from User:Mecu on my talk page which was very helpful, and I've independently reconfirmed the use and the current image tagging, including the language used in the reason for public domain. I've sent the reconfirmation to m:OTRS, and I had already sent the permissions to m:OTRS...so, as far as I can tell, things should be all systems go...right? Obviously, I second the thanks from User:BoaTeeth...you've been a big help. Snidleysnide 19:30, 3 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
