Team Unicorn pictures
Hi. You've uploaded several pictures of members of Team Unicorn, claiming that you owned them, and deleted freely licensed ones. We'd love to have better images, but you do need to prove you have the power to release the rights to those images. You can do that by putting a statement to that effect on a web site that is undisputably owned by Team Unicorn, or by emailing COM:OTRS. But until we do have better pictures, we won't remove the ones we have. People change over time, sometimes even team compositions change over time, while photos don't, but that's not a reason to delete the photos that were accurate at the time they were taken. Thank you. --GRuban (talk) 21:39, 16 May 2018 (UTC)
 * @GRuban & @AngusWoof Better? Public domain Hrr. Doubtful, to be honest, though let me consult with Angus. You put the image up on Flickr, but it was already up on Pinterest at https://www.pinterest.com/pin/362750944963260120 where it was marked with a NerdHQ watermark, and a comment that it came from Clare Grant's Instagram, so your ownership of the image is not at all clear. (Also, you really should use Public Domain Dedication instead of Public Domain Mark, here's why, but that's secondary.) Look, if you really work for Clare Grant or other Team Unicorn member, you will help your case a great deal by proving it. Either send an email from an address associated with Grant or Team Unicorn to Wikimedia Commons OTRS, following the instructions at that link just above, or put up a web page saying so on an official Grant or Team Unicorn web site. (Official Facebook, Twitter would likely also work.) Otherwise we don't know whether you are just a dedicated fan without actual rights to release anything. You claimed you worked with them several times, the more you keep doing things like this without demonstrating it, the more you look like you are overstating the case. --GRuban (talk) 14:43, 17 May 2018 (UTC)
 * I agree with 's recommendations. An official Twitter post or website post releasing the picture for use on Wikipedia would be good, or an official email from the group to OTRS. AngusWOOF  ( bark  •  sniff ) 15:34, 17 May 2018 (UTC)
 * , Hi guys. Thanks for helping with this. The recent picture is listed on their official Flickr page as public domain, and also their official website. Does that help?
 * Aha! I can see it. http://teamunicornftw.com/gallery/#bwg1/8 and you click on the little "i", and it says *public domain pic*. OK, I'll take it! Thank you! --GRuban (talk) 14:47, 2 August 2018 (UTC)

Username
Sorry for harassing you on an unrelated issue, but, well. At first I thought your user name was just a user name, indicating an anonymous fan of the group, which is fine. Then I read our articles about the members of Team Unicorn a bit more closely. Are you, by chance, claiming to be Seth Green? Because if you are, that might be an issue, as described in WP:REALNAME. --GRuban (talk) 14:47, 2 August 2018 (UTC)
