Melbourne City Opera article

I believe that you are the original editor who created this article.

Unfortunatley, much of it is copied directly from the company's website which, under Wikipedia guidelines, is not allowed. Please the following which may be found on each edit page:

"Please do not copy and paste from copyrighted websites – only public domain resources can be copied without permission."

Therefore, I have removed a variety of things from the article, but you are welcome to come back and re-work it in in your own words. Viva-Verdi (talk) 17:46, 18 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

As Webmaster of the MCO website I can honestly say "they were my words"! See discussion on MCO page Pauken (talk) 06:31, 5 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

File permission problem with File:Preston Symphony Orchestra performing Verdi's Requiem.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Preston Symphony Orchestra performing Verdi's Requiem.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-enwikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-enwikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Fut.Perf. ☼ 07:43, 29 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This help request has been answered. If you need more help, you can ask another question on your talk page, contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse.

I received no message to say this talk had been updated; that is why I did not reply about the removal of the photo. I am the webmaster for Preston Symphony Orchestra and was provided the image by a player whose family took the photograph with the express purpose of having it placed on their website. [1] I assumed that the copyright information I provided when uploading to Wiki was appropriate. I wonder if you can provide a simpler method of my having the image re-instated than my having to decipher the rather legalistic avenues of approach evident in the post. If the image on the Orchestra's website contained a Creative Commons attribution, would that have obviated your deletion of the image? I'm not a very experienced Wiki contributor and wish to comply - I just need a little help here.

Assuming the Preston Symphony Orchestra and copryight owner wish to license the image under a creative-commons license, you or a member of the orchestra should read this page then send a declaration of consent, explicitly granting the license, by email, to the OTRS team. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 04:50, 20 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
