== Unverified orphans ==
This is regarding your comments at Wikipedia talk:Images and media for deletion/Unverified orphans#So what do we do about those UOs? Request for comments.. Please note that there are many UOs that satisfy one of more of the following:
#They weren't orphaned to begin with and were removed from articles by people Meta:Avoid copyrught paranoia.
#They were uploaded before mid-2004 which is when people decided to include non-GFDL non-PD non-fair-use images. Long ago everything was GFDL or PD (we had to agree to GFDL-redistributability while uploading) and there was no requirement to tag, then fair-use came to be allowed and then came allowing other licenses and image-tagging.
#Their uploaders have since left the project and hence can't be contacted for updating the image with licensing info.
#They might be redundant images in an article, but may be useful as a commons: resource on the subject.
#Orphans don't load the image server since nearly nobody sees them.
Please see my messages Wikipedia talk:Images and media for deletion/Unverified orphans#So what do we do about those UOs? Request for comments., Wikipedia talk:Images and media for deletion/Unverified orphans#Two thoughts to deal with some of the images., Wikipedia:Village pump (policy)#Unverified orphans, Wikipedia talk:Images and media for deletion/Unverified orphans#Image server load, and [http://mail.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikien-l/2005-March/021869.html here] and the meagre response I was able to get.
If you feel I am not a trusted person enough to be bothered about, you could see User:Jamesday's opinion on Wikipedia talk:Copyright violations on history pages and User:Anthere's opinion [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Village_pump_%28miscellaneous%29&oldid=10913157#I_am_just_a_bit_upset here], [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Village_pump_%28miscellaneous%29&oldid=10913157#Deleted_image_again here] and [http://mail.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikien-l/2005-March/021286.html here] and User:Sj's opinion [http://mail.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikien-l/2005-March/020746.html here].
As you could see from my messages, I would like a proper place where many people discuss the current image deletion policy, but I don't know what to do. Thanks for any help. -- User:Paddu 08:53, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Sorry for not responding to your message for ages! That's something that I almost never do, and I apologize for it. Well, I'm very pressed and stressed these days and don't have time to take another picture now, though in a month I imagine that I will. P.S. Could you do me a favor? I've been trying hard to find out whether photographs taken of branded products are property of the photographer, or if the copyrighted brand has some rights. I'd like to take pictures of different kinds of tea Twinings has some pics like this, but I don't know the law. Even if you don't know, if you know whom to ask I would be delighted. Thanks so much! --User:Zantastik 08:47, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)
