Pangnirtung pictures
[edit]I noticed that you added "ALL IMAGES ACCREDITED TO LINDSAY TERRY ARE NOW UNDER FULL COPYRIGHT" to the top of Category:Pangnirtung. It's generally understood, however, that Creative Commons licenses are irrevocable and thus we have the right to use these pictures in perpetuity. There are Deletion Reviews, where we discuss deleting an image, for four images: Commons:Deletion requests/File:Visiting students get outdoor lessons in Pangnirtung -a.jpg, Commons:Deletion requests/File:Students tour Nunavut.jpg, Commons:Deletion requests/File:Swimming in Pangnirtung -b.jpg, and Commons:Deletion requests/File:Visiting students get outdoor lessons in Pangnirtung -b.jpg. If you wish to nominate other images for deletion, Commons:Deletion requests should explain how to propose these images for deletion, but I don't think you'll have much chance without making a good argument; while you can argue to some extent the rights of the people in the picture (though that in a non-legal sense), those without people are going to be a hard sell.--Prosfilaes (talk) 14:27, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
