Regarding the image you added to Carl St.Clair
Where is the evidence that the photographer released File:St. Clair by Boggreve 08 015.jpg under a Creative Commons license? I see the image on multiple websites; it appears to be a press photo, which is typically not under a free license. —C.Fred (talk) 00:12, 16 February 2018 (UTC)


 * Hi Fred,


 * Maybe you could help me through this process, because I'm very new, and just trying to get his photo on the web. What kind of photos would we be allowed to put up for Carl? We've commissioned many photos including him, and our Photo Drive is full of his photos, but I need to know which ones will be constantly getting flagged for copyright violations.


 * Thanks,

 * The photos must be under a free license. That means that anybody is free to use them for any purpose, including commercial reuse, owing nothing more than attribution of the source. So, if you are the owner of the image, you would need to follow the directions at WP:Donating copyrighted materials to make clear that you have irrevocably licensed the image(s) in question.


 * Also, what relationship do you have with St.Clair if you are commissioning photos of him? Wikipedia has a very strict policy about paid editing and guidelines for editors with any kind of conflict of interest. —C.Fred (talk) 00:20, 16 February 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for the info Fred. I'm the Public Relations Manager at Pacific Symphony - we're trying to get his photo on the page, since he doesn't have one. Are you saying that because of our professional relationship, I wouldn't be allowed to upload anything to his page?


 * There are two issues at play here:
 * If you are being compensated to edit St.Clair's article, then you must disclose who is paying you.
 * Whether you are being compensated or not, you have a conflict of interest. You are not prohibited from editing St.Clair's article, but it's suggested that you don't. You can request changes at Talk:Carl St.Clair.
 * That said, you are in the best position to provide an image. If it is an image that you have the rights to—as in, full ownership of the image and control of the copyright—you can place it under a free license. You will either need to contact Wikimedia Commons by email to confirm the donation, or you will need to post the image on your webpage somewhere with a note that the image is under the Creative Commons CC BY-SA 4.0 license. —C.Fred (talk) 00:28, 16 February 2018 (UTC)


 * Who are "we"? Max Semenik (talk) 00:10, 2 May 2018 (UTC)

We, being myself and another employee of Pacific Symphony, specifically the writer Timothy Mangan. We are hosting Andre Watts this weekend for a series of concerts, and it doesn't make sense that the writing credit is incorrect on his own page. This should be changed to reflect the actual author of the piece.
 * So this account is being used by multiple people? Max Semenik (talk) 20:54, 2 May 2018 (UTC)

No, this account that I'm using is only myself, Alexey Bonca. I am merely pointing out a glaring error in Andre Watts' article on your website. You should correct it. Tim Mangan, one of my colleagues, pointed out the error.

All I am asking for is a change in the listed author of the article, since it is incorrect on the article. You can see this by following the link. It is written by Timothy Mangan, at the OC Register. It should not matter who I am, because an incorrect byline is an incorrect byline. Will you be fixing this?

I have personally donated to Wikipedia, and I love the website. But this run-around just to fix a simple reference error is exhausting, and makes it difficult to treat the site as the respected source it should be. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alexeygbonca (talk • contribs) 17:07, 2 May 2018 (UTC)
