Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/KC Stadium at night

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Kingston Communications Stadium, in Kingston-upon-Hull, viewed at night.
A slightly cropped version, with the blown street lamp at the bottom removed.
Reason
I feel that this picture meets all the featured picture criteria. It is a well taken photo that adds to the articles it is used in and, personally, I find it stiring and think it deserves to be featured.

I have left a note on the user who uploaded it's talk page. I'll look into it though. ...adam... (talkcontributions) 22:45, 22 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
It could be me being mega dim but I can't actually find the picture on the website - the link definitely works but I have no idea what it's used for on the site... ...adam... (talkcontributions) 23:00, 22 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I agree that the blown flood light isn't ideal. Is there anything that can be done about that? ...adam... (talkcontributions) 15:17, 23 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I recieved an email from the website operators saying "All images on our Image Bank are copyright and cost free." - I have no idea what licence, specifically, this would transfer to but it sounds like the image is fair game. ...adam... (talkcontributions) 12:25, 23 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I'm afraid that's the wrong interpretation of "free". MER-C 12:36, 23 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Er, if they are "copyright free" then we can use them. He didn't say "copyrighted but cost free". ed g2stalk 13:09, 23 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I have sent an email to clarify that the image is copyright free, and to see if they have a higher resolution version of the picture. Hopefully the copyright issue will be cleared up soon. ...adam... (talkcontributions) 14:41, 23 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Yep - just had an email confirming all the images in the image bank could be used for comercial purposes and to make derivative works. So that's the copyright issue cleared up I think. ...adam... (talkcontributions) 15:17, 23 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Could you forward that e-mail to the permissions queu of meta:OTRS? I think it's permissions-en(at)wikimedia(dot)org. Mak (talk) 16:00, 23 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Done and done. ...adam... (talkcontributions) 16:03, 23 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
