Hello Jimmy, i`m just a small writer from the Netherlands, and trying to contribute in a category about fossils, and was always very happy to do so, i have used immages from various sources, almost always products from official institutes, like educational - and governemental, like Geological Survey`s and state museums an d University`s from various countrys and States of Amerika, I`m very surprised to hear that these images, no longer are accepted, just because they are released in to the public for common benefit, excluding the commercial ones, commercial in this optic says: benefit from trade by one person or company, very disappointing, because i don`t have any pictures left, never the less, I realy would appriciate if you could tell me the reason of this "non acception" because i really don`t undersand this, i do understand that pictures have to be released from copyrights, so called copyleft, ok, otherhands i understand that institutes who have putt a lot of energy and probably even more money to get these pictures (as a result of investigations and / or studies, they have released these images for the benefit of the common, and do not ask a payment for these, otherhands they "protect" the product of these hard work, from another making a profit out of it, i think this is judgeable, to release they work and protecting it from "abusing" it, all institutes work like this from Moskow to Mexico, Universitys, researchcenters, and so-on, At the other hand i always understand that wiki projects are a part of a "non - commercial" institute, so by not accepting "non - commercial" releases, I realy don`t understand this, about 120.000 images are to be deleted ?? only in the Netherlands ther are no sustitutes for these pictures because they are very specialised, it will cost a lot to make them oureselves, I realy don`t see any explanation to this not-accepting, unless somehow a part of the wiki concern do have a commercial benefit???? i`m very concerned about this, because a lot of writers like myself - have no images left, or have seen them "disappering" , if there are no images there is nothing to write about................ like i said, i`m just a simple writer in the Netherlands, and teacher, my English is not that well, i hope yoyu can read this, best regards Henk Klaverkamp h.klaverkamp(a)chello.nl
