Hi Fastfission,
Thanks for contributing the topical images to help illustrate the nuclear weapons-related stories.
Unfortunately, the image of Kim Jong Il you borrowed from Wikipedia to generate the North Korean Nukes image is not clearly marked as public domain, and will likely be deleted if Wikipedia user 172 does not attribute its source. This in turn would invalidate your image, as it would then be considered to be derived from a copyrighted work, and such images cannot be hosted on Wikimedia Commons.
I'm not going to delete anything myself, because I'm not an Administrator. I also appreciate the work you've done.
However, I thought I should give you a preview of what the Administrators are likely to do as part of their ongoing policing of the image repository.
We won't be able to use "fair use" images anytime soon, as the folks in charge have decided that everything we do has to be public domain, at least for now.
Regards,

- Thanks for pointing that out to me, somehow I missed that! I was thinking it was too busy, anyhow, so I'll replace it with something else. --Fastfission 17:32, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC)
