You have uploaded quite a few image sto Wikipedia, some of them pending OTRS permission, some licensed as CC3.0. It seems very doubtful that you have permission from all these quite diverse institutions to donate their logos to Wikipedia (I notice that these include institutions from Wallonia, Brussels, Flanders). Please don't upload any imagse unless you are the copyright holder for them, or you have prior permission from the copyright holder (not "your boss") to upload them with a compatible license.

I have just answered to the questions with regards to two logos on this Talk Page.
This help request has been answered. If you need more help, you can , contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse. |
Could you advise whether this is the right way of answering such questions? Also, most of the pictures that we are using were either sent to us bu our Belgian Spirit partners, or taken from the websites of the companies/designers in question. We have been in touch with these companies before and have used their pictures in other, non-public documents that were sent to partners in Hong Kong. Is this enough or do we need an explicit okay from the owners of each of the pictures before we can legitimately use the pictures? And how do you verify whether we have been given permission? Do we need to show you a copy of an email by the owner, or...? Thanks and kind regards.

.雲水你好!For the logos of the different partners, these are indeed the only logos that can be used. In any case, if we are requested to provide more back-up material concerning the other logos (it seems that only 2 of them were singled out), then we will do what is needed to secure express permission from the organisations in question. As for the other photographs, we will seek permission for each of the pictures that we wish to incorporate into the page; this will take some time, and maybe it is better that we first delete those for which we cannot give you clear proof of permission at this time. Siegje ( talk) 11:49, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
Okay, that makes total sense. We will delete the pictures then. We added them for aesthetic reasons, but this is not the priority at Wikipedia, which we fully understand. Cheers. Siegje ( talk) 12:23, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
Yes, please do, thanks. Would it make sense for you to delete all the other pictures as well, so that we go back to the basics and only upload pictures once we are pretty sure about the background and permission? If so, then kindly do that as well. Thanks. Siegje ( talk) 12:29, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
OK, TX. Siegje ( talk) 12:43, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
Your article submission Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Belgian Spirit is very promotional. We are an encyclopedia, not a webhost where you can post press releases. Wikipedia articles must be written from a neutral point of view, based on reliable, independent sources; e.g. newspapers articles about Belgian Spirit, not things taken from the Belgian Spirit website or related organisations. Fram ( talk) 10:22, 16 April 2013 (UTC)
Answer: Hi Fram, we're pretty new to this, so I am hoping that this is the right way to talk to you. Concerning the article submission being very promotional, I understand that there is promotional aspect to it. However, in our opinion all these items are facts; the thing is, seeing as Belgian Spirit is a project that will come to fruition in December 2013, it is a work in progress. As such, there are not that many external sources that could 'verify' some of the statements. Actually, many statements are statements of fact, so I am not sure how to change them or make them more neutral. What I will do is look at the text again and try to look at it from a third-party perspective, and see what can be changed. Indeed, we have already made quite a few changes to some of the original texts, but maybe we can try harder, so as to get closer to a less promotional tone.

Any advice on this is greatly appreciated.
Siegje ( talk) 10:13, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
LOL. I do not genuinely believe anything, hehe. Today I haven't had the time yet to look at the text again (it's a bit busy these days in the office, to put it mildly), so was hoping for some examples of what is wrong; and you have provided them very clearly! We shall work on that in the coming days, probably by cutting out all the promotional stuff that we see above. Cheers. P.S. I have never been in marketing as such, but as a linguist I do like using language to get a message across. :-) Siegje ( talk) 11:49, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
