Well, write Name Surname, Thai tv star. Just a couple of words to state
they're notable
(of most I wouldn't even be able to give
their names, I know they are on tv regularly though)
Hopefully you won't upload something like [[Image:The fat guy from Thai
tv.jpg]], otherwise it would be very hard to search for them and making
a use of them
2) I have seen people "upgrade" pictures
resulting in horrible colours
on paintings and other pictures. Usually this means imho pictures get
maimed.
That doesn't seem to happen often. Some people don't realise that colors
on CRT and LCD monitors don't look the same, sometimes there is a real
improvement. And of course you can always discuss.
3) I do not want these pictures to be used commercially
(although I
could solve this by uploading low quality small pictures)
Would YOU be able to earn money from copyright on your pictures? If you
release them under a free license, no one will really make money by
selling your picture, since it's available for free. Of course, a
commercial application would be to include the picture on a book about
the person; you may earn reputation as a photographer if someone sees
the photo author: WVK so in the end commons could be a good way for
photographers looking to self-promote themselves.
