Hi, if an image like Image:Kanchenjunga summit 1861.jpeg is old enough to be in the public domain, then it can't be GFDLed - GFDL is a license that only makes sense for material still in copyright. Stan Shebs 13:34, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

Hi, you claim that the copyright owner allows use of this photo and Image:Cooktown Orchid.jpg in Wikipedia. What about use in WikiCommons? May I see the permission please? Thuresson 16:00, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

FYI, someone placed this note on an image you uploaded (--Davepape 18:05, 17 January 2007 (UTC))

I would like to contact John Hill, who posted the steelband photograph on the Wikipedia creative commons. Please ask Mr. Hill to contact me, Kim Johnson (kjohnson@fj-icl.com). Thanks. Kim Johnson

This old fact have no consequence on the current democratic will of the thibetan people, and history have not to be rewrite according to Modern time opposition.

If you are interested by this history, I encourage you to read the Cambridge history of China, especially the section about Chinese-Tibetan opposition about 640 AC.

You can also ask confirmation to en:user:Nlu, which is the current Wikipedia expert of the first decade of the Tang dynasty. Yug (talk) 08:40, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

It has been found that you've added in the image's description only a Template that's not a license and although it provides useful informations about the image, it's not a valid license.

Dear Arria Belli: I am sorry - I can't seem to find the correct place to post the permission so I thought I would do it here instead and also put a note notifying you of this on your page. Hope this is O.K. Cheers, John E. Hill 23:25, 8 February 2008 (UTC) (PS perhaps you would kindly let me know how to do this properly in the future?).

Dear Sir or Madam:

I have been asked by user Arria Belli to post information showing I have permission to use the photos I posted recently showing tilapia sampling at Jensen's Crossing on the Endeavour River. Here is a copy of the email I received from Jason Carroll who headed the project. I have also spoken to him on the phone and he is eager to get this information out. You will note his earlier note at the bottom of the page - I then asked him for specific permission to place them in the "public domain" and you can see his reply directly below. If this is not sufficient - please email me and lat me know what you need.

Many thanks,

John Hill ...........................................

John

You may release these photos into the "public domain" and use them how you wish.

Hello, John Hill!

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"). Pro-tip: The CommonSense tool can help you find the best category for your image.

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.

Hi! Don't know what is happening to the letters I send. I try to make sure I send a copy of Lewis Robert's letter of permission to use his images with each image as I upload it. But maybe I forget sometimes - if so, please blame it on Mr. Alzheimer ;^) Anyway, I have forwarded the letter again to the address you gave.

Hi John. The release is covered by https://ticket.wikimedia.org/otrs/index.pl?Action=AgentTicketZoom&TicketID=3086277. Please tag any uploads from Lewis Robert's orchids work with {{PermissionOTRS|ticket=https://ticket.wikimedia.org/otrs/index.pl?Action=AgentTicketZoom&TicketID=3086277}}. There is no need for you to resend the email, we only need it once ;) I'd appreciate it if you can provide me with a list of files you have uploaded from him: I can collate all the tickets up and rationalise the OTRS situation then (its messy at the moment).--Nilfanion (talk) 01:11, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

Hi Nilfanion! Thank you for that note - I do appreciate your help as it will certainly make it easier in future when I get around to uploading more of Lewis Roberts' exceptional botanical illustrations. I have about 60-70 more I could upload (!). The trouble is, I like to have at least the stub of an article to go with them - and this takes time - especially as I seem unable to find enough time to do all the other things I want to on the Wikipedia. Would there be any possibility (or point) in uploading the rest of them as a batch lot to Wikimedia Commons, even if there are no articles (yet) to go with each of them? It may be useful to have them archived on Wikimedia Commons so people can use them in the future (and in case I don't otherwise manage to get a chance to use them all in articles).

There is no issue with you uploading all of the images (as long as they are below 500KB of course) to Commons. It doesn't matter if there is an associated article on wikipedia or not. Easiest thing would be for you to upload them and we can get them all sorted (regarding permissions) now, and you can write the articles as you feel like it--Nilfanion (talk) 09:55, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

Please let me know what you think. Finally, I will go back over my sent mail folder and drawn up a list of ones I have already done soon for you. Cheers, and thanks again, John E. Hill (talk) 02:59, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

PS. Here is a list of all of the Lewis Robert's illustrations I have uploaded so far (or, at least, as many as I could find on a quick search). Hope it is of some use to you.

Desert Tree Frog Cooktown

Hello,

I am trying to get in contact with people who have sighted the Desert Tree Frog during the 2010-2011 Wet Season in the Cape York area - particularly Cooktown. The Foundation for National Parks & Wildlife put me onto the photo taken by John E Hill in 2006 but I am interested in more recent sightings.

Anyone with information - including Mr Hill if he reads this - can contact me at:

sub@regionalandremote.com.au

I am a journalist / editor with the Regional and Remote Newspaper Group - which includes the Cooktown Local News.

Thanks,

Grant Banks Group Sub Editor Regional and Remote Newspapers

Hi Grant,

Yes, we have seen them this year. The seem to come to our rain guage every Wet Season to breed. BTW we live about 25 km towards Hopevale from Cooktown. If I can be of any other help do let me know. Cheers, John E. Hill (talk) 07:33, 23 March 2011 (UTC)

Twillingate Religious Affiliation

I notice you have made a chart of religious affiliations for Twillingate. It is a useful addition to the article except that you have made a mistake that is confusing and might well upset some people. You list people as being either Protestant, Roman Catholic or Christian. Now, both Prtotestants and Catholics consider themselves to be Christians. So, it is unclear who you mean by "Christians" (maybe "Pentacostals", "Evangelical Christians", Baptists, or some other group or groups???), and it also implies that Protestants and Catholics are NOT Christian. Would you please adjust the chart so that it is accurate and will not offend people - otherwise it may well be removed from the article. Thank you, Sincerely, John E.

In reply to your note about defining religious definitions in bar chart.....I don't know...you would have to read the Government of CanadaStatistics Canada definition of their Religious classifications on the census...I didn't design the census myself....File:TwillingateReligiousAffiliation.jpg --> image The article had a tag on it to use images / charts instead of prose in that section...therefore the image from Stats Can data....

Thanks for your helpful reply, SriMesh. I have just checked with the link you gave and they define the category "Christian" on their website as "Christian, n.i.e. Includes mostly answers of "Christian", not otherwise stated." So, I guess there should be no problem here - it is obviously used for people who either do not feel they fit in the category of the named Christian denominations, or don't want to be specific. I will reword the article to make it clearer. Cheers, John E. Hill (talk) 00:36, 17 February 2012 (UTC)
