Sarah pic.jpg

hello,

There is no proof she is really the sister-in-law of the subject. But if it's true, she can send an email with copy of a written permission to OTRS (permissions-commons@wikimedia.org). Okki (talk) 11:07, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

Hello Amalthea, I take the liberty to jump into the discussion after Okki asked me for advice.

First, thank you for your interest and your contributions.

On the specific matter, File:Sarah pic.jpg will raise alarms amongst our experienced users because it is a photograph of good quality (colours, composition, lightening, ...) whose resolution is rather low by today's standards. This evokes the case of images taken on a website. The absence of meta-data (EXIF and the like) furthers this suspicion.

Please understand that nobody doubts your good faith: many people do not know what they can do and what they cannot. Uploading images taken on a website on Commons is often a honnest mistake. It would be easy to alleviate any doubt by uploading a full-resolution version of your image, preferably with the EXIF. If you did take this photograph yourself, congratulations, it turns out really well!

The fact that you are Sarah's sister-in-law is not relevant to the copyright status of the image. Of course, it is always very useful that people who have access to VIPs contribute to Commons, since we can hope for privileged points of view; but in itself, it does not have an effect on copyright.

I am at your service for any further information. Thank you again and cheers! Rama (talk) 14:24, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

Semi-protection

Hello,

I've taken the liberty of semi-protecting your user page, which has sustained an odd surge of vandalism lately. Feel free to ask me for any adjustment if necessary. Cheers! Rama (talk) 04:31, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

Spill-over from enWP, I'm afraid.
Thanks! Amalthea (talk) 19:11, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

Notification about possible deletion

Some contents have been listed at Commons:Deletion requests so that the community can discuss whether they should be kept or not. We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at their entry. If you created these pages, please note that the fact that they have been proposed for deletion does not necessarily mean that we do not value your kind contribution. It simply means that one person believes that there is some specific problem with them, such as a copyright issue. Please see Commons:But it's my own work! for a guide on how to address these issues. Please remember to respond to and – if appropriate – contradict the arguments supporting deletion. Arguments which focus on the nominator will not affect the result of the nomination. Thank you!
