Hi mate, I'm getting the impression you are not actually the person who took this photo? In that case, you can't upload it to Commons or use it in an article - the author has not formally released it for free distribution. If you can please confirm? I've removed it from Southern free-tailed bat for the time being. Cheers -- Elmidae (talk) 12:51, 16 October 2015 (UTC)


 * Hello,
 * I have written permission from the owner of the photograph that I can use it on Wikipedia as long as the image is credited to him. Which I am trying to do and which is pretty clear in the information I am providing, including the copyright I selected. When uploading to the commons.
 * This page is an assignment for university and I need a picture, sadly the species is not often studied and pictures are rare. There are none on free licensed sites.
 * I would appreciate if it didn't get deleted as I have broken no copyright rules.

 * Hi, I believe in that case the upload information will have to different - the owner himself may have to make the statement at Commons. Not quite sure though, I have put out an enquiry and let you know. In the meantime, I have removed the image again until we are sure. Wikipedia is extremely strict on copyright and playing it safe is always the recommended course. Please note that in any case, there should be no attribution/credits to the author anywhere on the article page; all attribution is restricted to the image information (at Commons).

 * Hi there. Elmidae is right: a simple statement on your user talk page is unfortunately not enough. We need a confirmation by email from the original photographer. I have tagged the image at Wikimedia Commons and left you a notice with instructions on your talk page over there. In this case I think it is also sufficient to forward the original permission you got from B. Lobert to [mailto:permissions-commons@wikimedia.org permissions-commons@wikimedia.org].
