Hi, I'm writing about your (very nice) image of the menstrual cycle . This image gives off the wrong impression that the follicle goes from a primordial follicle to a tertiary follicle in the first days of the menstrual cycle. That is wrong since it takes almost a year for the follicle to attain the antral stage (and then be recruited and selected as the dominant follicle that will undergo ovulation). The timescale from the recruitment of the primordial follicle all the way to ovulation actually takes about 375 days! (c.f. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folliculogenesis). This is a commone mistake and even textbooks have it, but wouldn't it be great if wikipedia were a step ahead? All you need to do is change the first three pictures to, say, slightly smaller versions of the fourth one with a smaller antrum. You can look at the diagram in the folliculogenesis page for "inspiration". Notice how the follicle is already "grown-up" when it reaches the selection window to enter the ovarian cycle? Thanks!

[edit] Image:Nagoya Airport view from promenade.jpg

Hi Chris 73,

I have no idea how to use this thing, which is somewhat embarassing working with computers all day.... anyway, i wanted to use your photo of Nagaoya Airport as a graphic panel at an exhibition if thats ok. Just wondered if you have a bigger version? Something you could maybe email or send via post??? I don't know? I Need it to blow up to over 5m lengthways so need as higher res / larger size as possible. Can you help? I don't know how you can reply to this??? I don't have an account or anything? it'd be great if you could help. Regards, burridge81

Hi. The uploaded image is the largest one i can get from my camera. Did you click on the image to get the largest file at 1600 × 1182 pixel? Don't forget to give credit to me (Chris 73) when you use it in your installation. CHeers and good luck, Chris -- Chris 73 21:16, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

Hi CHris, Thanks for your reply, but we have chosen a different image purely because we needed such a large version to blow up to that size, (we used an image we could get at 14572 pixels wide!!!) But thanks for getting back to me, and appreciate the open-use rights of your photos for future reference. Burridge81

Hi Chris. You state that the picture is a bunch of public domain images mashed into one file. I don't think you can copyright such small changes to public domain work. Is it ok if I change the licensing from GNU to PD? -Indolences 02:31, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Man stranded on rocks in the Niagara River 1879.JPG

Hello!

Thank you for providing images to the Wikimedia Commons. Please keep in mind that images uploaded to the Commons should be useful to all users of Wikimedia projects. This is possible only if the images can be found by other people.

To allow others to find the images you uploaded here, the images should be in some place that can be found by navigating the category structure. This means that you should put the images into appropriate topic pages, categories, optionally galleries, or both of them (see Commons:Categories). To find good categories for your images, the CommonSense tool may help.

You can find a convenient overview of your uploaded files in this gallery.

The important point is that the images should be placed in the general structure somewhere. There are a large number of completely unsorted images on the Commons right now. If you would like to help to place some of those images where they can be found, please do!

Thank you. 78.48.232.195 20:17, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

Hello, Chris 73, I've noticed that your photo has no meta info unlike pictures taken by others. Are these taken by film?

I will give full credit to your pictures under the licenses you have provided.

Thank you for your amazing work on this site.

[edit] Regarding File:Cathedral of Magdeburg Inside.jpg

Hello Chris 73!

I just wanted to congratulate you on some truly great images that you have contributed for everyone here. :) I am contacting you because I had a question regarding the image mentioned in the subject line (File:Cathedral of Magdeburg Inside.jpg) and its use. I am working on a back cover image for a book which is soon to be published, and I was wanting to use your cathedral image as a reference (not using the actual photo as is). I was hoping to reference it when doing a straight digital painting of an ancient looking chamber. This would help me with some of the architectural detailing (I plan on using several personally shot reference images as well). I understand what you have stated about using the unchanged photo in a printed work, but I was curious as to what you feel is appropriate in this scenario. Thanks in advance! :)

Hi. If you use a computer program to change the image (i.e. to make it look like an oil painting etc), it is a derivative work. The use of the image is still free, yet a license and credit is needed, e.g. This Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons image is based on a image from user Chris 73 that is freely available at http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Cathedral_of_Magdeburg_Inside.jpg under the creative commons cc-by-sa 2.5 license.. Of course, this puts your new image also under a new license. If you use my image only for "inspiration", but do not base your image on my image, then you can do with your image whatever you want. In summary: There is no money involved on my side eitehr way, the question is only if you have to credit me and put the (modified) image under a cc license or not. Hope this helps, I wish you much success for your book. Cheers, -- Chris 73 (talk) 06:58, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the info sir! It cleared up some of the questions I had regarding the work. My digital painting definitely leans more towards the second example as opposed to the derivative work explanation, but I might use the credit line you mentioned just to be safe, and obviously, it's always nice to give credit where credit is due :)

sure. Good Luck. -- Chris 73 (talk) 07:59, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Starving_Irish_family_during_the_potato_famine.JPG. I notice that the file page either doesn't contain enough information about the license or it contains contradictory information about the license, so the copyright status is unclear.

If you created this file yourself, then you must provide a valid copyright tag. You can tag it with {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} to release it under the multi-license GFDL plus Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike All-version license or you can tag it with {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. (See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of license tags that you can use.)

If you did not create the file yourself and the specific source and license information is not available on the web, you must obtain permission through the OTRS system and follow the procedure described there.

Note that any unsourced or improperly licensed files will be deleted one week after they have been marked as lacking proper information, as described in criteria for speedy deletion.

[edit] Nautilus Shell Image - Request for Use

Hi Chris - I work for a company called SELEX Communications Ltd (U.K.) - I am starting an INTERNAL process improvement project and we came across your wonderful Nautilus shell image http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:NautilusCutawayLogarithmicSpiral.jpg We'd really like to re-use that image as a logo / symbol for our INTERNAL project - not for any external / marketing purpose. I think the image will appeal to our engineers - it reflects our desire for excellence in design, lean engineering and continuous improvement. Can you please grant us the right (free of charge) to use it INTERNALLY on documents as a logo; e.g. MS Powerpoint, Word. Please let me know either way, as if you are not happy I may have to get another image commissioned. Thanks - fraser.donachie@selex-comms.com

Unfortunately, the image is only available under the CC license as indicated. The license, however, is free of charge. You would have to add the license somewhere in the credits. Hope this helps. Cheers -- Chris 73 (talk) 19:17, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Please link images

Hello Chris 73!

Thank you for providing images to Wikimedia Commons. Commons images are used by editors on many projects in many languages. Each image is put into categories. This helps other editors find them. Please add categories to each image you upload.

To add an image to a category, add the following code to the end of the page.

[[Category:Category Name]]

For example, if you are uploading a diagram showing the orbit of comets, add the following to the image description page:

[[Category:Astronomy diagrams]]

[[Category:Comets]]

This will make the diagram show up in the categories: Astronomy diagrams, Comets.

For further information on categories read Commons:Categories.

The CommonSense Tool often helps you find the best category for your image.

Here is a gallery of your images. Please check that each image has a category. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the help desk. Thank you.

[edit] CoTuRa

The book "Autodesign in Nederland" lists "Cotura" as a brand in it's own right. The chassis and body are supposedly made by Co van der Tuyn, a Dutch coachbuilder. He used the BMW mechanics to build at least 2 of these specials, one getting a Mercedes-Benz later on in it's life.

I am a bit surprised you found this car in Austria and congratulate you with quite a rare find!
