The article Arch Enemy (band) currently has a fair use image, Image:Arch Enemy Band Members1.jpg, to represent the band. Since it is a relatively mature article (as in, not a stub), I think we can try to contact them to obtain a free promotional image. -- ReyBrujo 20:32, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
- Sent petition today, it can be found at Wikipedia:WikiProject Free images/Contacts/Arch Enemy/Petition 001. -- ReyBrujo 17:54, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
People is not happy with the current free image, Image:Porcupine-Tree1.jpg. I will try to contact the band to see if they are willing to offer a free replacement. -- ReyBrujo 17:21, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
I have sent a petition to Napalm Records, requesting free images for the bands currently signed with them. The petition can be found here. -- ReyBrujo 06:33, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
- The reply was positive, in fact they allowed us to use all promotional images as free ones with a written permission. Wish it were that easy :-( So, I sent a new mail, here, to clarify even more, and to see if they agree to the standard declaration of consent for all enquiries. Keep fingers crossed :-) -- ReyBrujo 03:27, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
With all the buzz about Nightwish's new singer, the first two official images come from Ville Juurikkala (www.villeakseli.com). Personally, I don't think they would be willing to release either under a free license (after all, they are the first two official images ever taken), but maybe they have some others that did not look well. Images are really scarce, Flickr hasn't a single one, and a Google images search only shows hits for Tarja Turunen (previous singer), banners and the promotional ones. -- ReyBrujo 04:10, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
Le Tigre
[edit]I have written to the band asking for cc licences on Image:Le_Tigre_album.jpg Image:Feminist_Sweepstakes.jpg and Image:This_Island.jpg. The band have earlier shown support for CC and released music under a CC licence. Wwwhatsup (talk) 23:17, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
