Your copyright notice
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. I'm sorry to see that your good-faith edit was reverted by automatic anti-vandalism software – I suppose its detection algorithms are not flawless. I noticed your offer to provide a higher quality version of the photo. It seems like that would be a welcome contribution if it can be provided with an appropriate copyright license. Unfortunately, I am not so familiar with such matters either, but I wanted to leave you this note and offer to try to help you figure out what to do if I can. If you post a reply here, I will probably see it and will try to help you find someone else who can be of more help in this matter. —BarrelProof (talk) 01:36, 26 July 2014 (UTC)

Hi there, BarrelProof. I have no qualms with the automatic anti-vandalism software. I didn't know if I could just sign up and make a change like that to begin with. I have no idea how to prove the copyright license to anyone here, other than to go to the APImages website and see that the photo is copyright AP/Paul Hurschmann. (I was freelance when I shot the image, but they distributed it - long story short: they never paid me for it, I sued, they countered, court ruled we both own copyright - which means I can post it as (c)Paul Hurschmann and they can sell it as (c)AP, or it can be labeled (c)AP/Paul Hurschmann. Let me know if you learn anything more.  Otherwise, we can just leave the image as is - the story is over 20 years old now, anyway.  Thanks for your feedback.

 * I see that your second attempt to add the notification was successful. I believe you should be able to both record your copyright claim and upload a higher-resolution version of the image by visiting this page: File:Nicole brown simpson.jpg. There is a link there called "Upload a new version of this file". (But again I must advise that I have no real expertise on this matter – just trying to help you find information.) —BarrelProof (talk) 19:27, 28 July 2014 (UTC)

BarrelProof, thank you again for the follow-up. I did not find a link called, "Upload a new version of this file." In fact, through another link, I found a notice that said, "this file cannot be overwritten." However, my main concern is that even though on this main page it says that the photo is not available to download or free for other uses, there is a download link allowing anyone to download the file. Very confusing. ~ Hurschmann — Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.9.66.224 (talk) 23:13, 28 July 2014 (UTC)
