Hi, you don't have an e-mail address listed with your user ID, so I'll address you here.
You have a website that includes a shot of Sydney Harbour Bridge. Is it OK if we use this picture for the wikipedia article of Sydney Harbour Bridge?
Could you upload a larger version of your Opera House picture? The current one is very small, and to be able to add a link to a bigger one would be nice. -- Robert Merkel
Sorry eveyone i was style in traveling and forgot to check this page. So yeah Arno i have a Sydney Harbour Bridge on my website (but currently down). And yeah i will upload a larger Opera House picture as soon i get my website back.
-- Chmouel
Update i have uploaded the two pictures asked as :
Sydney Harbour Bridge Pictures
and
PS: Please send me email chmouel@chmouel.com it's way better to contact me.
Nice! I really don't think much of that sunset picture of Sydney Harbour Bridge (no offence to whoever took it). Your one is much better. -- Tim Starling 02:17 21 Jul 2003 (UTC)
Hello, The picture of the lighthouse in the Tierra del Fuego is from Ushuia, in the main island (island of Tierra del Fuego) or in the island of the states (isla de los estados)?. The so called lighthouse of the end the world, mentioned by Jules Verne in the epomyn novel, is in the last island and not in the Tierra del Fuego main island.

Nice photo at Palenque! Better photos at Tikal are welcome-- while I've chanced to take a couple of decent pictures now and again, more than half of my own photos which I've uploaded to Wikipedia I'd rank as mediocre ones I just thought were better than nothing and I hope we'll get something better some day. I saw you have at least one good photo of Chichicastenango-- I had an article on it almost done over a year ago when my old computor crashed. Maybe if you offer use of your fine illustration I'll be inspired to try writing it up again. Cheers, -- Infrogmation 11:04, 4 Feb 2004 (UTC)
Hi there. The image you just added to cattle is not a bull but rather a water buffalo. It's a splendid photograph, but I think it better belongs in the water buffalo article. Cheers, Hadal 22:37, 5 Feb 2004 (UTC)
Hi Chmouel - your 'sea lion' photo at Sea lion shows some true Earless seals (family Phocidae), not Sea lions! Not quite sure which species, I'll see if I can find out. - MPF 16:26, 23 Feb 2004 (UTC)
On a similar note, Image:Sydney Subway.jpg is not a subway but a monorail. IIRC it is raised above street level for its entire length. -- Tim Starling 05:35, Feb 6, 2004 (UTC)
Hi, can you comment on One_Hundred_Years_of_Solitude at Wikipedia:Possible copyright infringements ? Thanks. Markalexander100 05:12, 25 Feb 2004 (UTC)
Also Buchmendel; Jean-Christophe_Rufin. Thanks. Markalexander100 01:40, 2 Mar 2004 (UTC)
You should probably vote to delete the pages on Wikipedia:Possible copyright infringements (March 2 section); and it would be even better if you wrote some original pieces to replace them. :) Markalexander100 03:01, 4 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Hi! I have a comment on your pic added to
Tattoo. I know you are an excellent photographer but why did you add an out-of-focus pic to the article? Perhaps you liked the effect but it's not suitable for an encyclopedia. So I'm afraid I've removed it. Sorry!

Hi Chmouel. About the pictures you mention, I asked on IRC (#wikipedia) before uploading the files just to know if I should reduce them. Since MediaWiki now supports automatic scaling of images, the answer I got was that it is generally fine to upload pictures at their maximum level of detail as long as I display just a scaled down thumbnail in articles (which I always do). The reasons to keep images at their maximum resolution are that A) visitors can get a full-detail version in case they need it, and B) if Wikipedia ever gets printed on paper (Wikipedia 1.0) it will need pictures in very high resolutions. Thus, I am refraining from reducing the images I upload and I'd like you to keep them like that if you don't mind. However, I can provide small versions of every image if you consider that to be a proper solution. If you still don't agree I will be glad discuss this further.
Thanks a lot for asking beforehand. Someone else has reduced aleady reduced one of the pictures, found in Image:Che Guevara statue closup.jpg, without prior notice. Still I'm not planning to put the large image up again. Pilaf 20:54, 5 Apr 2004 (UTC)
Image:Greece-Cat.jpg is a really interesting-looking photo! Very strange (nice)! -- Menchi 12:41, 9 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Image:Egypt-Hieroglyphs.jpg is really nice, but could you please add a caption? - and where was it taken? -- ChrisO 17:10, 26 Jun 2004 (UTC)
In case you're interested - I just turned Image:Chichicastenango.jpg into Image:Market-Chichicastenango.jpg for Economics. Cropped, severely turned the gamma up, brightened a whole lot. The quality is somewhat lowered (JPEG to JPEG), but it's just a decoration for the top of the article - David Gerard 14:56, 16 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Hi, I think I prefer your modified version of the crystal ball. It makes the original one look too dark in comparison. Angela . 17:24, Aug 26, 2004 (UTC)
Hi,
I like the idea of including useful commands like file open, but I'm unwilling to start adding commands because I don't see ever stopping. With regret I've undone your additions. Perhaps you can come up with a criteria for when to stop. See Talk:Emacs for my criteria as to what to include in the list. (Basically, whatever can't be fixed with "save & exit".) Let's take the discussion there. -- Kop 02:32, 28 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Palenque Ruins.jpg. I notice it currently doesn't have an image copyright tag. Could you add one to let us know its copyright status? (You can use {{gfdl}} if you release it under the GFDL, or {{fairuse}} if you claim fair use, etc.) If you don't know what any of this means, just let me know where you got the images and I'll tag them for you. Thanks so much, — Edwin Stearns | Talk 20:17, 14 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Hi Chmouel,
I came across Image:Ireland-High-Cross.jpg today, and noticed it had been pushed to Commons:Image:Ireland-High-Cross.jpg. Those images are lower resolution, 544x800, than the original you have on your web site. I uploaded the original high-resolution version to the Commons (the second version in the "image history"). I assume you're willing to license that version under the GFDL? I'm curious why you reduced the resolution. Please see Commons:Image talk:Ireland-High-Cross.jpg.
Thanks, dbenbenn | talk 00:32, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Hi Chmouel,
Just to let you know that your photo Image:Ireland-High-Cross.jpg is up for reuse as Pic of the Day on the 29th April. I've reused the same caption as last time, but you can check it at Wikipedia:Picture of the day/April 29, 2005. -- Solipsist 22:05, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
I have never seen a chocolate fountain as pictured in Image:Chocolate_fountain.jpg. How fast does it flow? Could it be said to "ooze" or "dribble" or perhaps "slide"? If the chocolate is very fluid, then it probably could be said to "flow gently", but I would be surprised to see a big splash at the bottom of the fountain. Thanks! -- ke4roh 18:20, Jun 11, 2005 (UTC)
Hi Chmouel
Just to let you know that your photo Image:Machu-Picchu.jpg is due to make a reappearance as Pic of the day on the 10th July. I've reused the caption from last time, but you can make any improvements at Wikipedia:Picture of the day/July 10, 2005. -- Solipsist 3 July 2005 18:35 (UTC)
Hi Chmouel,
Just to let you know that your photo Image:Argentina-Perito Moreno-Glacier.jpg is due to make a reappearance as Pic of the Day on the 5th August. I've reused the caption from a year ago, but you can make any changes at Wikipedia:Picture of the day/August 5, 2005. -- Solipsist 20:01, 1 August 2005 (UTC)
Sorry, to be brutal, but I find this image to be highly unencyclopedic. The person's head is more the subject matter of the photo than the mountain or the sunrise. Maybe you another that might be better suited. I took a look at your gallery. Quite nice photos. -- None-of-the-Above 18:20, 6 September 2005 (UTC)
There's a fine picture of Cahir Castle in the article, which you posted there. I had a look at the Irish pictures on your websites - several castles, but none identified: can you help? The view of the Rock of Cashel from its base is excellent. There are many pictures of pints of beer and Guinness - couldn't you find any decent wines?-- shtove 00:16, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Chmouel Boudjnah.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.
If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{ GFDL-self}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{ Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too.

Hi Chmouel,
My name is Fernanda Viégas and I have been studying Wikipedia for a while now (you can see a paper I published on the subject here). I would like to ask you a few questions about your activities as a Wikipedia image creator. I am fascinated by the pictorial side of Wikipedia and it would be great to hear about this community from one of its members. Would you be available to participate an email survey this week?

Hello. I was working through new uploads, tagging images which do not specify source and/or license information when I came across Image:1145696730.jpg. The uploader specified the source of the image as this website and provided no license information. I would like to see what the website's image copyright policy is, but I cannot understand a word on the website as it is written in French. I noticed that your user page contains a native French speaker userbox. If you wouldn't mind, could you have a look at the website when you get a free moment and give me some information regarding the copyright policy of the website?

Hi Chmouel, I came across an image ( File:Ireland-High-Cross-large.jpg) based on some of your images on Picasa. Because you never uploaded a high-resolution version of this image to Wikipedia yourself, it's being considered for deletion. If you would, could you please go to your Picasa account and update the license of all your images to a Creative Commons license (either Attribution or Attribution-Share Alike would be fine - you have to check "Allow commercial use" and "Allow remixing"). Let me know on my talk page if you need help figuring out how to do this. Dcoetzee 09:43, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
