[edit] club page link

Just a link to the Club's webpage? If no one does something to this soon, I'll place it on votes for deletion... --Dante Alighieri 04:25 20 May 2003 (UTC)

Don't take the removal of the text negatively. You simply need to write something up YOURSELF about the NYYC. We always welcome new material here at the Wikipedia, so PLEASE don't be discouraged. We'd love to see a full-fledged article on this subject. --Dante Alighieri 04:46 20 May 2003 (UTC)

I don´t beleive flags can have copyrights.--Banderas (talk) 18:07, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
Technically, they can be registered and receive a servicemark/trademark. It has supposedly been registered since the 1800's and was recently renewed in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. We have no right to use it here. Thanks. - JodyB talk 22:47, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
They can probaly protect the use of the flag only by the club or club members, but an illustration of the flag is an illustration, not the flag, and I find it hard to beleive to have copyrights. Did they grant permission to "Lloyd´s register of yachts" tu publish it for years ?. On the other hand, the copyrighted flag has proportions 2:3, 3:5 or 1:2 ???. We had a 3:5 illustration. --Banderas (talk) 12:16, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
I would suggest you contact them and ask for written permission to release use of the flag under GFDL. Failing that it is over and the flag cannot be re-added. The above referenced OTRS ticket has been passed to the foundation and the image was deleted from commons by User:Bastique. Although I do not speak for the foundation I think it is clear that they are not willing to incur the legal expense of defending its use against the wishes of the NYCC. - JodyB talk 23:13, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
  • I have emailed NYCC requesting permission. Hopefully the answer will be yes. Boatman (talk) 09:45, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
That is exactly the way to do it. Remember, they must release it according to one of our acceptable licenses and they must contact the foundation, in writing, with the release. At that point, the image can be restored and used as before. - JodyB talk 14:31, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
Also, WP:ERP offers possible letters for sending - its worth reading. -JodyB talk 14:35, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
