Hi Ivor.
I note you've removed the photo I linked in for this page (you'll need
to remove it from Millenium Bridge too). However, I'm not clear on the
basis of the change. I see you also modified the Wiki Etiquette to
discuss this.
Problem is, I see no reason that this image causes any problems. It is
linked with an <img> tag rather than copied somewhere else. If the
owner of the original image doesn't want it linked from elsewhere, there
are simple technical measures that can be taken to prevent it.
So can you explain your rationale here?
The reason for this change is owing to the statements on the source website Urban75
which should be self evident.
see http://www.urban75.com/copy.html
In my view, the guidelines for use of this image are not compatible with the Creative
Commons Licence that applies to the Open Guide to London. see:
http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/1.0/
If you are connected with the Urban75 website and are giving permission for the
London OpenGuide to use the picture, this is fine. If this is the case, the picture can
be
reinstated without a problem, and you should add some text to this effect.
Hope this clarifies matters. I am forwarding a copy of this email to the London
Openguides mailing list (http://openguides.org/mm/listinfo/openguides-london),
where you will be able to see and/or contribute to any further
discussion.
Ivor.
