Dear MattMcFarlane

I am a great enthusiast of narrow gauge railways and park railways, and thus I am very much impressed by the photographs that you uploaded onto Wikimedia Commons. However, one of the most important rules of Wikipedia is that only photographs and texts should be used that are not protected by copyright of any other photographers or authors. I noted that some of the photographs that you uploaded make reference to other web sites, e.g. http://www.ehmr.org.uk/Locomotives.php which states "Copyright © 2018 East Herts Miniature Railway Society Ltd. All Rights Reserved."

If you happen to be the photographer, who has uploaded these photographs to both the EHMR website and to Wikimedia Commons, you should state that more clearly and should check Commons:OTRS. If you are not the photographer, the use of other people's photographs is in most cases a copyright infringement. Such photographs should be deleted from Wikimedia Commons and not be uploaded again.

It is more important that we adhere to international copyright laws than adding nice photographs to Wikipedia artcles. I hope that you agree to this policy.

Best regards

NearEMPTiness
