Hi there. I noticed that you uploaded an excellent picture of "The Waterfalls" (Image:BB Water.JPG). By uploading it to Commons, and selecting the licensing tags you did, you actually released your photo under the GFDL free license as well as under the Creative Commons Attribution Sharealike license. However, you also included in the image's description the line "Copyright Adam Brown, 2008, not to be used elsewhere!" This assertion prohibiting re-use and redistribution directly contradicts the terms of the licenses, as well as the terms of the Commons itself. Please read Commons:Licensing for a full explanation of free licenses. If your intention was not to release your image under a free license, please let me know, and the file can be deleted from the servers here. Otherwise, perhaps you can consider removing your non-re-use request, and leave the files under the free licenses (which would be great!). If you have any questions, too, feel free to contact me. -Seidenstud (talk) 19:03, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
