Macadamia oil merger[edit]

Done. Good call. --Waitak 16:02, 30 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your message, please advise[edit]

I had noticed the watermark after I uploaded the Roosevelt/Alamo image but not the dance card. Some time ago, before I knew how to crop pictures and when I was uploading smaller-sized pics, I occasionally uploaded one with the common eBay watermark in the lower right-hand corner. I posted a question at a Wikipedia copyright noticeboard but got no response.

I thought the dance card image was particularly valuable (it gave the only image to Dance card). The TR/Alamo one, less so but still valuable. (And much less valuable with a watermark.) Against that, I wondered a bit about the watermark, but I'm very dubious about how much value it adds and how that affects copyright. I thought these watermarks were added to prevent someone from reselling the postcard in a scam, but I admit I'm confused by it. Could you point me to something at least somewhat authoritative on Wikipedia (or elsewhere) that addresses this? If it's authoritative, I'll take it down myself (I'll have to find out how to do that). Otherwise, let's take it to a deletion discussion where we can get other editors involved. Possibly we don't want watermarked pics anyway, even if there's no copyright problem. I think these are the only ones other than one or two old ones with the eBay logo that I can readily find and crop. Please advise; I don't want to violate copyright.

Hi, Noroton -- I'll leave a reply on your talk page. -- Peter Kaminski (talk) 01:21, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What you quoted was for "user created" images, so it still left me wondering. I looked around and found what looks like a good Wikipedia authority and listed the two pics there. Please take a look at Wikipedia:Copyright problems/2008 July 11/Images and feel free to add your comment to mine in case you think I missed something important. Thanks for bringing this up, I'll be curious to see what they say. Noroton (talk) 02:19, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I was posting my question at the wrong spot. That one seems to be for obvious problems. I removed it from there and posted it at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions#Watermarks on pre-1923 U.S. published images. Sorry if that causes any confusion. Noroton (talk) 18:45, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Distil[edit]

Please note that "distil" is the correct preferred spelling in British English. —BarrelProof (talk) 03:38, 31 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
