Mike Wieringo
Just to cut any potential problems at the pass, you should probably send a copy of the permission from Wieringo's family to OTRS, so that everybody knows it's kosher. It's a nice image, and I'd hate to see it deleted by mistake. -Hit bull, win steak(Moo!) 02:22, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

I can supply the email from his brother, if that will suffice. --Donssword 5-15-2008

NEW June 30, 2009 -- Mike's brother who is in charge of his estate will email the OTRS in for the potrait -- he will CC my email account on it as well. I gave him instructions on what to send in, including picking a license.

Image permission problem with Image:Mike Wieringo self-portrait 150px.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Mike Wieringo self-portrait 150px.jpg I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the image (or other media file) agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
 * make a note permitting reuse under the GFDL or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
 * Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to [mailto:permissions-en@wikimedia.org permissions-en@wikimedia.org], stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the image to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the image has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to [mailto:permissions-en@wikimedia.org permissions-en@wikimedia.org].

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the image's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Images lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Skier Dude ( talk ) 22:27, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
