| colspan=2 |<br>A large fraction of the images in Camera-wiki.org were originally placed in the pages of the former site Camerapedia.org. Those links were preserved when Camera-wiki.org established its non-commercial "fork" in January 2011. We made every effort to locate "all rights reserved" photos in our pages, and sent invitations to photographers to add them to our [http://www.flickr.com/groups/camerawiki/pool/ Flickr pool], confirming our permission to display them.

In a few cases, the original contributor of a photo could not be contacted. There may also be cases where a photographer had a change of heart, and no longer wishes us to use their images. And finally, remember that Camera-wiki.org is a volunteer effort. It's possible an inexperienced editor used one of your photos before reading our very clear [[Camera_wiki:_Adding_images|guidelines for adding images]].

In any of these cases, we are happy to remove any image at  your request. If the photo originates from Flickr, you should contact any of the [http://www.flickr.com/groups_members_detail.gne?id=1618922@N23 pool admins] via Flickrmail for help. You can also start a topic on the wiki's [[Camera_wiki:_Community_Discussions|Community Discussions]] page and a wiki admin will follow up with you.

Please be aware that your image may also appear in the pages of the commercially-hosted [http://camerapedia.wikia.com/wiki/Camerapedia Camerapedia.wikia.com]. We have no further connection to them; and their track record in respecting photo copyrights has been very poor.
