Hello, I am an online ambassador who you can ask about anything by using my talk page, or email if you do not want others to see what you want to say.

Regarding your query on how to get "free" images- you can run an advanced search on Flickr for creative commons licenses (with full freedom - ie including commercial usage) - some results include http://www.flickr.com/photos/usacehq/5486018377/ and http://www.flickr.com/photos/usacehq/5905263661/ which are by Federal agencies in the USA. Photos from the USFWS would be in the public domain too. Good luck, will look over your other query on referencing soon. Shyamal ( talk) 11:19, 9 March 2012 (UTC)
My question is where would I upload this image, I was given written permission to use it but I would think it would still be Mr. Lang's work and still copyrighted for any other reproduction other than the use on the Emergency Wetlands Act of 1986 page on Wikipedia. What do I need to do? Smorris80 ( talk) 21:03, 9 March 2012 (UTC)
Hi. When you recently edited Emergency Wetlands Resources Act, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Director ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current
Arbitration Committee election. The
Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia
arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose
site bans,
topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The
arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to
review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on
the voting page. For the Election committee,
