==Your photo of the Adams' graves==
Dear Daderot,

Please reverse the image in the photo of the Adams' graves.  As depicted, both the writing on the stone and the U.S. flags are incorrectly aligned.  Clearly, the flags draping the memorial stones should have the field of starts in the upper left left vice upper right corner.

:Greetings! I believe that photograph is just the way I took it, and correctly represents their tombs. I agree that the flags are arranged in an unusual way, but if you look closely at the tomb engraving, you will see that "John Quincy Adams" is correctly depicted (not reversed).

== Your photo of the Granary Burying Ground ==
Dear Daderot,

I'm writing for permission to use your photograph of the Granary Burying Ground in a low-budget documentary we are making. If you wouldn't mind, could you please let me know the best way to get in touch with you about this? I would greatly appreciate it.

==Boltzmann photo==
Dear Daderot, 

This note is to let you know that I have taken the liberty of using your photo
of the headstone of Boltzmann at the Vienna Zentralfriedhof on the 'About' page of
the wiki [http://www.qft.iqfr.csic.es/SklogWiki/index.php/SklogWiki:About SklogWiki]. 
SklogWiki is a copyleft site. If you would like to attribute your 'real' name to the photo
I would be delighted to do so (or you could do this yourself; SklogWiki is open-edit).

== From Boston University: request of real name to display your photos on campus ==

Dear Daderot,

This note is to let you know that we have taken the liberty of using your photographs of the Boston Public garden swan boats and Faneuil Hall.  We found your great photos here on Wikipedia.  The photographs were enlarged to color posters of size 8' x 5' and used to decorate Boston University's Beantown Bash event this past February.  Now, we here at Boston University would like to display those enlarged posters in the George Sherman Building on Boston University's main campus.  We would like to attribute your 'real' name to the photo.  Our contact e-mail is oocs@bu.edu or you can just post your name as a response to this comment in the Wikipedia discussion page.  Thank you.

All the best,

Thank you for developing an important biography. 
The mention of experimental work preceeding the crystal control innovation struck me.

:<b>non-notable person</b>

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's [[Wikipedia:Criteria for inclusion|criteria for inclusion]], and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "[[Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not|What Wikipedia is not]]" and [[Wikipedia:Deletion policy|Wikipedia's deletion policy]]).

== Solenodon paradoxus (Harvard University).JPG ==

Hi. Thank you for uploading the image [[:File:Solenodon paradoxus (Harvard University).JPG]]. Could you consider uploading it to Commons under a free licence? Even though you took the picture in violation of the museum's photography policy, this does not affect the image's copyright status in the slightest, as the museum cannot assert copyright on a stuffed animal (wich, by itself, is not subject to copyright). Thanks, <small><span style="border:1px solid black;padding:1px;">[[User:Sandstein|<span style="color:white;background:blue;font-family:sans-serif;">'''&nbsp;Sandstein&nbsp;'''</span>]]</span></small> 18:03, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
:Greetings. Although I am not a lawyer, I am fairly certain that I have *not* violated the museum's photography policy, and that its current location on the English language Wikipedia is consistent with Wikipedia policy (as I have documented in the photograph's description). Thus I am comfortable with the photograph's current status but would not be comfortable uploading it to Commons. You seem to have a better understanding of the legal aspects than I do, and of course may upload the image to Commons yourself if you think that's okay. Cheers, and a very happy new year to you!

==Orphaned non-free media (File:Ophiacodon (Harvard University).JPG)==
[[Image:Ambox warning blue.svg|25px]] Thanks for uploading '''[[:File:Ophiacodon (Harvard University).JPG]]'''. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a [[WP:FU|claim of fair use]]. However, it is currently [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Orphanage|orphaned]], meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. [[WP:BOLD|You may add it back]] if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see [[Wikipedia:Non-free content#Policy|our policy for non-free media]]).

Regarding [[:File:Mazami briceni (Harvard University).JPG]], the relevant practice (on Commons anyway) is that limitations of commercial photography are a matter of contract law between the photographer and the institution and have no relevant bearing on copyrights. You are still free to license the photo however you want. If you are unwilling, then the image will have to be deleted for being a replaceable non-free image.

As in a discussion above - Although I am not a lawyer, I am fairly certain that the image's current location on the English language Wikipedia is consistent with Wikipedia policy (as I have documented in the photograph's description), ie, it is available so long there is no image available with a better licensing status. I am comfortable with the photograph's current status but would not be comfortable changing its license. You seem to have a better understanding of the legal aspects than I do, and of course may delete it as a replaceable non-free image (assuming that's the case). Cheers!

Daderot-- I posted the following as a discussion item on your Dasyprocta photo:

Location of pictured specimen

The specimen pictured is in Harvard's Museum of Comparative Zoology (see http://www.mcz.harvard.edu ), not the Peabody Museum (which is a Harvard anthropological museum next to the MCZ). The Harvard Museum of Natural History is more of a single-entrance fee convenience that links several distinct museums, and not really a museum in and of itself.

# Go to [[:File:Dasyprocta_prymnolopha_(Harvard_University).JPG|the media description page]] and edit it to add {{tlx|di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, '''without deleting the original replaceable fair use template'''.
# On [[File talk:Dasyprocta prymnolopha (Harvard University).JPG|the image discussion page]], write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, [[Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission|requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license]], or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on <span class="plainlinks">[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&target=Daderot&namespace=6 this link]</span>. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our [[Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria|non-free content policy]].

== User cats ==

As you recat in Commons, it would be good if you were to be careful to leave user cats, such as '''Category:NRHP site pictures by User:Jameslwoodward''' on the individual pictures, see, for example the history of [[:File:First Congregational Church of Hyde Park Boston MA 03.jpg]], where I have just replaced it. The problem appears to be limited to the three there.

You might find User cats a neater way to have a gallery than [http://toolserver.org/~daniel/WikiSense/Gallery.php?wiki=commons.wikimedia.org&img_user_text=Daderot this] which, although dead simple, takes a lot of page real estate for non-gallery stuff. Also, user cats let you have sub cats, so you can find things faster.  Regards, . . . . <strong>Jim</strong> . . . .

::Not really a problem... As I said, it was only the three, and it gave me a reason to go through and check all of them. I certainly know how easy it is to screw up when you're doing a large recat. I've been paying a lot of attention to cats in Commons because its frustrating the number of times I've stumbled across a good pic that didn't have good cats -- I wonder how many others there are in the 5 million plus.... . . . . <strong>Jim</strong> . . . .

Dear Daderot,

This note is to let you know that we plan to use one or two of your [excellent] photographs of the Uncle Sam statue in the Greene County Historical Journal. (Greene County, NY, includes Catskill, where "Uncle" Sam Wilson lived for a number of years.) As a scholarly research publication we try to include source data; therefore I am writing to ask if you would like the image[s] attributed to "Daderot" or to your real name. If your real name, we would need that info.

== Zhuang Sawndip photo ==

 Dear Daderot,

looking at the "Zhuang Sawndip" photo three questions spring to mind 
  (1) Is the photo public domain ?

  (2) Is the content Zhuang Sawndip ?

  (3) If the content is Zhuang Sawndip is it representative ? 

[[User:Johnkn63|Johnkn63]] ([[User talk:Johnkn63|talk]]) 15:05, 4 September 2011 (UTC)
:Dear Johnkn63, Thanks for your note! Yes, the photo is public domain; I will make sure it is marked as such. I believe the contents are Zhuang Sawndip, based on the museum's caption and by comparing to other example images on Google. I do not know if the content is representative.

A tag has been placed on [[:Mitchell Wolfson, Jr.]] requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under [[WP:CSD#G12|section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion]], because the article appears to be a clear [[Wikipedia:Copyrights|copyright]] infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of ''information'', but not as a source of ''sentences''. This part is crucial: ''say it in your own words''. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators '''will be [[Wikipedia:Blocking policy|blocked from editing]]'''.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you ''must'' verify that externally by one of the processes explained at [[Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials]]. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see [[Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission]]. You might want to look at [[Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines|Wikipedia's policies and guidelines]] for more details, or ask a question [[Wikipedia:Help desk|here]]. 

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit '''[[Talk:Mitchell Wolfson, Jr.|the page's talk page directly]]''' to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with [[Wikipedia:List of policies|Wikipedia's policies and guidelines]].  <!-- Template:Db-copyvio-notice --> <!-- Template:Db-csd-notice-custom --> [[User:MSJapan|MSJapan]] ([[User talk:MSJapan|talk]]) 15:58, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

== File:Bridge_over_Mill_Brook_-_Lexington_and_West_Cambridge_Railroad_-_Arlington,_MA_-_20200816_084726.jpg ==

Hi there!  Nice photo of the Central Street Railroad bridge + mill brook!  

Only one problem, is that I *think* your photo is actually of a different (nearby) mill brook, not the one whose page it is on.  

The Concord [[Mill Brook (Massachusetts)|Mill Brook]] (as I understand it) runs from the Concord River more or less to Flint Pond.  But the Arlington Mill Brook (where your photo was taken) runs from the Great Meadows to the Mystic River.  It's confusing because both have historic railroad tracks nearby and they are within miles of each other but I'm pretty confident about this.

See this doc for more info: https://www.arlingtonma.gov/home/showpublisheddocument/46513/636921453433800000

If you agree, I am happy to collaborate on a page for Arlington's Mill Brook, which I do believe would probably be notable because of its connection to the Cooke, Cutter and Schwamb Mills and the early industrialization of Massachusetts, though it would lack the Thoreau connection...

Happy to discuss further.

[[User:Vivisel|Vivisel]] ([[User talk:Vivisel|talk]]) 16:11, 23 January 2024 (UTC)

:Hi Vivisel - Thank you for your note; it is much appreciated. I completely agree that this photograph is of the Mill Brook in Arlington, which seems to be completely distinct from that in Concord. It's a common name, and whoever created the wikipedia page seems to have gotten them confused. Although Arlington's Mill Brook is very small, it is notable as the only mill on the Cambridge side of the Charles River in early colonial days, and thus (I believe) brought a number of early roads to converge upon what is now Arlington. Amazing that such a small stream had such a large role in colonial Massachusetts.
:Although I'd be glad to collaborate, somehow I've wound up being quite busy for the past few months. It does seem to me that you really know what you are talking about, and I have no misgivings about you taking charge.

::We're on the same page! (Har har.)  I will carve out some time to separate out these pages and clarify things a little bit.  And in the meantime, thanks for contributing the photo and good luck un-busying yourself!

A tag has been placed on [[:Charles Parker Dowler]] requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under [[WP:CSD#G12|section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion]], because the page appears to be an unambiguous [[Wikipedia:Copyright violations|copyright infringement]]. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://www.sothebys.com/en/buy/auction/2019/sculptural-fantasy-the-important-american-folk-art-collection-of-stephen-and-petra-levin/rare-and-important-carved-and-polychrome-paint. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of ''information'', but not as a source of ''sentences''. This part is crucial: ''say it in your own words''. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators '''will be [[Wikipedia:Blocking policy|blocked from editing]]'''.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you ''must'' verify that externally by one of the processes explained at [[Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials]]. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see [[Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission]] for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at [[Wikipedia:Copyrights|Wikipedia's copyright policy]] for more details, or ask a question [[Wikipedia:Help desk|here]]. 

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may '''contest the nomination''' by [[:Charles Parker Dowler|visiting the page]] and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with [[Wikipedia:List of policies|Wikipedia's policies and guidelines]]. <!-- Template:Db-copyvio-notice --> [[User:IgnatiusofLondon|IgnatiusofLondon]] ([[User talk:IgnatiusofLondon|talk]]) 12:39, 9 February 2024 (UTC)
:Greetings! I certainly am not arguing, but the article has been deleted fast enough so that I cannot see its contents or history. I've been doing Wikipedia articles for a couple of decades, and it seems strange that I would have copied and pasted text like that. But I suppose it's possible. In any case, I cannot check the history to see if it was something that I did, or some later editor. That is, it seems, a drawback to speedy delete. with best wishes, [[User:Daderot|Daderot]] ([[User talk:Daderot#top|talk]]) 18:35, 9 February 2024 (UTC)
::Dear Daderot, I, too, was surprised that the article was made by such an experienced editor, and must admit I felt some guilt at [[WP:DTTR]].  It was a 92% match with the Sotheby's article, which, unless I made a mistake with my dates, must have preceded it.  I came across the entry from [[WP:FEB24]]: it was a two-paragraph unreferenced stub.  Please don't take it to heart, and please don't let me discourage you from recreating the article, not least as it was an interesting subject! :)) [[User:IgnatiusofLondon|IgnatiusofLondon]] ([[User talk:IgnatiusofLondon|talk]]) 18:43, 9 February 2024 (UTC)
:Hello Ignatius (of London) - Thank you for your pleasant note. No, I certainly don't take it to heart, and I do very much appreciate your patrolling. It's mainly just a puzzle for me, as it seems unlike something I would generally do. But perhaps I did, who knows.
