Hi there Geremea,

I've just seen your photo of a Newfoundland puppy. It's a great picture! Unfortunately there seems to be some confusion over the licensing. On the one hand, you've tagged it with permissions under the GFDL and CC-BY-SA, which is good. On the other hand, you've written on the page, "Fair Use acceptable, Mass Reproduction >100 requires permission". This is a problem for a few reasons: Could you clarify what permissions you intend to give Wikipedia (and the general public) on this photo? Thanks! -- Perey (talk) 11:28, 19 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia is mass reproduction. One might think that one upload, or one article, is one copy. But from a technical perspective, every time a reader loads the article, that's one copy. Your picture has been reproduced far more than 100 times!
 * You say that this "requires permission". The license tags you added to the photo are permission. Those licenses mean that anyone can copy your photo, for any purpose, including modifying it, as long as they (A) credit you for your work, and (B) share the results under the same license(s).
 * And on a minor note, "Fair Use" isn't a license. It's a legal way to use something without a license.
