Sorry - we'd got the wrong CC license on Flickr. I've changed it so hopefully it's ok now. ChristineHowles (talk) 10:42, 18 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Image[edit]

Your Heath Town at night image was deleted (and will be again) because the Flickr version has a "cc-by-nc-nd-2.0" licence. We can't use images which include "ND" or "NC" restrictions. Can you ask WH to re-licence as, say, "cc-by"? Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 09:25, 18 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for that. I've changed it on Flickr so hopefully it should be ok now. (I hope this is the right way to reply to messages on here.) ChristineHowles (talk) 10:39, 18 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

That's fine. (We indent comments using ":" as here). Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 16:26, 18 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
