Hi, where did you get Image:1.jpg.gif, as it is unlicenced, and is thus subject to deletion. Also, it has a terrible name, could you re-upload with a sensible name, then I'll delete the old one. thanks Martin 20:04, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

Don't worry, I've sorted it now. Martin 20:10, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:Ipod 3G.png

Thanks for uploading Image:Ipod 3G.png. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

I have found similar, copyrighted images on the internet. (The 3G one is just copied off a Commons image; I deleted it and removed its occurrences for the jpeg version). I have been spearheading an attempt to improve the images of iPods, but not at the cost of illegal usage. I really, really hate to see such good images be deleted - believe me, I do - but we will have no choice if you do not provide better sources. Your credibility in marking the images as your own work is, I'm sorry to say, disputed. If, however, that is the case, please confirm this before they are deleted. (Perhaps I should email him, too?)--HereToHelp 00:39, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

I'll be darned...but apparently these are professional-quality modifications of images taken from the Commons. I'm sorry I doubted you. They should have been uploaded to the Commons, done as jpegs (a little too much emphasis on transparency; pure white will do fine), and used the licenses as the original; however, this is all bureaucracy and can be handled later. The images are astounding, at least at a few hundred pixels (or few dozen, in the case of thumbnails). I'll sort out the licensing and links now so they don't get deleted; I'll upload them to the Commons in a few days. That way, all Wikimedia projects can take advantage of these great images. Thank you!--HereToHelp 00:50, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

I am also sorry I deleted the 3G version before I realized it was not a duplicate. The image, in the table of iPods in that article, looks dull because it lacks a drop shadow. Would it be possible to re-upload it if you still have the file?--HereToHelp 01:01, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

Update: A better version of the 3G was updated by another user; no problems there. 1G and 2G check out fine. However, I cannot fin the source for the 4G iPod. It looks very similar to this image, which i found after some quick Googling. I will attempt to contact the site. --HereToHelp 00:29, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
