 RE:Images for Deletion 

I've had to list a number of your images for deletion.
:Image:Strand Evening.jpg — It is a copyright violation. Wikipedia does not permit images allowed only for non-commercial use, per Jimbo's ruling.
I did not upload this image.  
:Image:BW8-I45S.JPG — You labeled this with a copyrighted free use tag, which means all rights are released for all commercial and non-commercial use. That's not the case when the image is taken from a site like www.houstonfreeways.com; let me know if you are actually the owner of this site.
I contacted Erik—the copyright holder, he doesn't mind that his images are used on Wikipedia or on any other sites—as long as they are not for sale.  
:Image:Reliant Stadium.jpg, Image:Rice University.JPG, Image:Texas Medical Center ariel.JPG, Image:Uptown Houston.JPG, Image:HCPA Houston.jpg, Image:Williams Waterwall Houston.jpg, Image:Houston Tranquility Park.jpg, Image:Port of Houston.jpg, Image:METRORail Houston000.JPG, Image:Texas Medical Center ariel.jpg — You labeled these with copyrighted free use tags, which means all rights are released for all commercial and non-commercial use. This is not the same as ""informational purposes only."" These images have no fair use rationale and will be deleted. Similar images at Wikimedia Commons have also been listed for deletion by someone else.
I contacted the Greater Houston Convention and Visitors Bureau before uploading— they allow anyone to use their images for information purposes, including commercial advertisments—as long as they are not for sale. A lot of real estate brokers in Houston use images by the Greater Houston Convention and Visitors Bureau for their websites and in their advertisments—GHCVB allows this. These images are for free use by anyone, even for commercial purposes—as long as they are not for sale. Next time, can you inquire me about the images before listing them on Wikipedia:Images_and_media_for_deletion (February 10th)? I am quite aware with copyrights law—I am a photographer myself and studied copyrights law in depth for a class in college.  "
