[edit] Jenny Saville

I'm not an expert, but I would say that you should wait for her permission. Remember that any content posted to Wikipedia is supposed to be freely usable in any way by any one. She might not agree to that. Perhaps there are images she wouldn't mind sharing. Take care. TheRingess 01:27, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

Shonibare link great 2002 interview

Shonibare image bank and interviews

Hi Penguin, thanks for your message. The image is being used in the article under "Fair Use" terms, because it is still under copyright. The whole copyright issue is very complex, and I am not a lawyer, but it is US copyright law that governs content on Wikipedia. As I understand it, art works published before 1923 are Public Domain in the US and can be freely used on Wikipedia, those published afterwards are still under copyright and images used in articles will have to rely on a fair use justification unless the copyright holder agrees to license it under the GFDL (or other non commercially restricted acceptable license). See Fair use and Template:art for the reasoning behind fair use of artwork images. Another handy copyright link I use, which is written pretty clearly, can be found here.
Nice work on Yinka Shonibare as well. If you have the image you want to upload, great. As long as it is reasonably small compared to the original work, a fair use justification is probably OK. You can upload it by clicking on the Upload file link in the toolbox at the left of the page. Enter a description in the edit box and mark it with the correct copyright tag (in this case it will be {{art}}). The template contains the fair use justification. If you are not sure what to do, edit the Jenny Saville picture, copy the text from there and modify it as needed.
See Wikipedia:Uploading images and Wikipedia:Picture tutorial for more help on uploading and using images. If you need any further help, let me know. --Cactus.man ✍ 09:55, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
I meant to say, if you want me to upload the image for you I would be happy to do that. Cheers. --Cactus.man ✍ 10:35, 13 February 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Spam in SMART (Northern Irish Business Grant)

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on SMART (Northern Irish Business Grant), by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because SMART (Northern Irish Business Grant) is blatant advertising for a company, product, group, service or person that would require a substantial rewrite in order to become an encyclopedia article.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting SMART (Northern Irish Business Grant), please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.
