Photo usage

Hi, I've been working on a small game built around animal quizzes and I wanted to let you know I've used some of your pictures.

I found your pictures here:

advertisements or not

It seems you're doing imho, see topic before, repeatedly advertisements for your project on a talk page, please avoid. So you do want to use media from Wikimedia Commons, please respect the license used by the uploader and the instructions for pulic use mentioned, thx 213.55.184.153 16:00, 1 June 2014 (UTC)

Hi, please state your name. As I said in the revert, I need to get permission from the original photographer. CC License is not sufficient as anybody can take a random picture and redistribute it under the license without the original photographer knowing. I consulted with a lawyer specialized in CC license issues to make sure. Also I want to let him know where his picture would be used, most photographers appreciate this.

In this case, I have no other means of contacting the uploader as he has not provided any other means. OTRS and Wikipedia administrators know what I am doing as I've been contacting them as well. So please stop reverting my edit or suggest an alternative. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Garfunkel_Jansen

imho you're spamming, please also see Wikimedia:User problems, 213.55.184.153 16:23, 1 June 2014 (UTC)

I promise I won't bother you if you tell me who you are. I don't just post random messages. It's specific requests about specific photo's. As you could see the admins were fine with it, I've been doing this for a while. Making videogames is a lot of work. And I doubt you want to take that usage information away from the photographers right?
