- Restored, user is copyright holder, as per user page information. Gnangarra 10:42, 22 January 2020 (UTC)
- Can I suggest that the Source in the Summary for File:Amanda Young Facebook Header.jpg be updated. It currently says "own work", but appears to include two photos showing Barry Young as a subject. It's possible that those two photographs were taken with a tripod and timer or remote control, but it seems unlikely, which means that the composite image is, at best, a derivative work. I'm sure that Barry Young has the permission to use the photos, and may even hold the copyright, but it would probably be worth stating explicitly the origins and permissions of those photos.

- its not necessary because the image copyright is owned by Barry Young, he is releasing them under a cc license, even the composite image. Gnangarra 08:35, 27 January 2020 (UTC)
- Does the text of {{Own}} need updating? Currently it says (with my emphasis) "you personally created the entire original image".
- Again, I am not questioning the legitimacy of the composite, merely the accuracy of the source description. Mitch Ames (talk) 12:02, 27 January 2020 (UTC)
