[edit] Re: Pyrgeometer and Scintillometer

Hello, I had to delete the images. Firstly, we can't accept images that are reserved for non-commercial use or have been granted only Wikipedia-specific permission. Also, supposing you could apply fair use rationale for promotional images like this, I'm not sure how they would fit anyway; regrettably, according to our non-free content criteria, promotional product photos are generally not suitable for articles in this context, because they can't be justifiably used under Fair Use provisions of copyright law. They could be used in an article that describe the exact products in question, but they can't really be used to describe the device type in general. If you can take photos of the devices and place them under free license (public domain, Creative Commons (not -NonCommercial variety), GFDL, or like), they could be used for "generic" articles about the devices. In any case, happy editing! --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 22:16, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
