- Joku: I assume you believe the claim is doubtful because it's a company logo. If the logo is available on the Creative Commons-licensed LIMSwiki site, shouldn't it be considered shareable here?
- Would you rather I take a screen capture of the LabLynx site, cut the logo down, shrink it, blur it a little, and save it as low quality and claim it under a non-free logo license, using the rationale that 1. such a low-res version is unusable for for-profit purposes, 2. it is publicly available, 3. there's no free alternative (since you'd be claiming the CC'd version on LIMSwiki isn't valid), and 4. it's not altered in such a way to limit or detract from the way the entity functions?

- Joku: I am willing to accept that an upload to Wikipedia as a low-resolution image under a non-free license per the policy at Wikipedia:Logos is likely the right thing to do, despite the logo's appearance under a CC license on LIMSwiki. It's probably better to not take a change infringing on a copyright. I concede that this image may need to be deleted. Instead, I'll go with the low-quality non-free license route on Wikipedia.

Tip: Categorizing images
edit
Thanks a lot for contributing to the Wikimedia Commons! Here's a tip to make your uploads more useful: Why not add some categories to describe them? This will help more people to find and use them.
Here's how:
1) If you're using the UploadWizard, you can add categories to each file when you describe it. Just click "more options" for the file and add the categories which make sense:
2) You can also pick the file from your list of uploads, edit the file description page, and manually add the category code at the end of the page.
[[Category:Category name]]
For example, if you are uploading a diagram showing the orbits of comets, you add the following code:
[[Category:Astronomical diagrams]]
[[Category:Comets]]
This will make the diagram show up in the categories "Astronomical diagrams" and "Comets".
When picking categories, try to choose a specific category ("Astronomical diagrams") over a generic one ("Illustrations").
Thanks again for your uploads! More information about categorization can be found in Commons:Categories, and don't hesitate to leave a note on the help desk.CategorizationBot (talk) 16:17, 24 October 2011 (UTC)
