Erin Mckeown Photo
Hello Jim,

I work with Erin Mckeown and I am wondering if you can change the picture on her wiki page for me. I have not done enough edits on wiki myself so it appears as if I can not make these changes myself. Here is a link to the image we'd like to use.

 * Desdemona - I'd love to help. Unfortunately, it's best if you upload the photo since I assume you own it.  Wikipedia is very particular about the rights to digital images - and it's always best if the owner of the image uploads it and gives permission for it to be used.
 * You can click here and try uploading the image yourself OR, if you prefer, you can call me and I'll lead you through the (short) process on the phone. Once you've actually uploaded the image and I know what it's called, it's easy for me to put it on Erin's page.  I can be reached at (nine-oh-seven) seven three three - two four five two (Alaska time which is 4 hours behind Eastern).  Great photo by the way!  Jimkloss (talk) 05:05, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

Hi Jim,

It is my photo, my problem is that, when I click on uploading a photo it tells me I am unauthorized because I have not made 10 edits on wikipedia. I don't really have any edits to make on the site other than the photo edit. Do you know if there is someone else I can contact who could put the photo up? Thank you so much for your response.

 * Okay Desdemona. I'm trying to upload it:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Erin_mckeown_2008.jpg but it's not displaying at this instant.  I'll see if it shows up in a hour or so and if it does, then all is well.  If it does not, then I can only assume that Wikipedia will not allow the image for some reason.  I'll try to figure it out, but, unfortunately, Wikipedia is becoming more and more of a closed system.  Fortunately, WWR is easier to navigate and less restrictive so I added your photo to Erin's page there: http://wholewheatradio.org/wiki/index.php/Artists:Erin_McKeown

Desdemona - the following notice came in on the image (which is now displaying). I put your name and website in the description as the owner and that you are okay licensing the photo with a Creative Commons license. So, at this point, the image is there and I (hope) the problem with permission to use as given by you is cleared up. If you'd like to add anything about giving permission, please and just adding some words that you've given permission.

If the image is still there in 48 hours, then feel free to just link it on Erin's page. If you need help with that, let me know. Good luck ... and thanks for your perseverance! jimkloss (talk) 22:15, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Erin mckeown 2008.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 21:24, 18 November 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. J Milburn (talk) 21:24, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

Desdemona - I believe you can go ahead and use the image now. Go to Erin's page and hit the "edit this page" tab. Change the first line where the image is located from:



to:



Way to go! And thanks for going through this absurdly long and unnecessarily complex process. Rest assured that situations such as this have caused me to re-focus my efforts on musician-friendly Whole Wheat Radio wiki rather than Wikipedia. jimkloss (talk) 05:59, 19 November 2008 (UTC)
