User talk:Hk+fc proj

Hi,

Wikipedia users are supposed to represent one person, and not an organisation. So if there is more than one of you there, please register again with a unique user id! Graeme Bartlett (talk) 09:24, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

Reply regarding unique user ID
New to Wikipedia (obviously). I thought the user ID WAS unique, but certainly not intended to represent an organization. It's just the one person, me. But as a new user I would welcome a suggestion for a proper user ID. And how would I alter the current ID without having to register a new account? Hk+fc proj (talk) 07:40, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:WFM portrait.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:WFM portrait.jpg, which you've sourced to Franklin McMahon. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the 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 CC-BY-SA 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 , 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 take this step, add OTRS pending to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to .

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 File copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See File 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 created in [ your upload log]. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.  Ron h jones (Talk) 22:10, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

Reply regarding image file with permission problem
Thanks for your observation and suggestions. I've tried to follow a few of them. But the deletion deadline is approaching and there's been no response from anyone in the Wikipedia administration side about what I've changed. I assumed that your attention was peaked by the image file initially being declared with "All rights reserved." I am in communication with the son of the artist who created the work and received his agreement to remove that. So the first step I took was to remove the earlier declaration and replace it with a Creative Commons permission statement. I also asked the son to have his father, the creator of the artwork and owner of the copyright to email his permission under the free and open standards to the permissions address which you thoughtfully supplied. I have been given to understand that this was done yesterday. So we stand at 3 days to certain deletion and no response from Wikipedia. Maybe I just give up the idea of posting this article (the artist is 81 years old and in failing health). I had not expected that posting an article with images on Wikipedia involved so much coding and communications. Hk+fc proj (talk) 07:40, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
