Yeah, but ... what should INeverCry do, when the photo was previously deleted as copyright violation and now you upload almost the same photo with "All rights reserved" in EXIF data? I see one solution. You must send OTRS-permission with proof, that you are the photographer. Please show the filename file:Christen Gerhart January 2015.JPG in permission. Then the file is restored and I am happy to unblock you. Taivo (talk) 19:44, 22 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

@Taivo and @Hedwig -- this problem only exists because of my (Mwr0) bungled (1st ever upload) attempt to upload a cropped version of the image, my trying to spare Christen the effort of uploading the file (she's not all that computer-savvy). Christen's (1st ever upload) upload of file:Christen Gerhart January 2015.JPG was an attempt to fix that by having her, the subject-and-author of the image, upload her self-portrait. She DID email permission-commons about the file, I think on March 30th. Also, she was unaware of the EXIF data, which was automatically generated by her camera. I think at this point, the fix is to unblock her account so that she can Update her (only) upload with a version of the image which has the EXIF data edited (to mark her as the author and remove the EXIF copyright statement). Yesterday, I finally had an exchange of emails with permission-commons, which might resolve this issue in this way. [I am still a little unclear about the details of me downloading her image, and uploading a cropped version, which we might get around by having Christen upload the cropped version of the image.] — Mwr0 (talk) 20:18, 4 June 2015 (UTC)Reply

Now the OTRS-permission has arrived and I unblock you. I apologize for such confusion. Happy editing! Taivo (talk) 07:53, 16 June 2015 (UTC)Reply
