Hi Jcmcannon, I received your email, but prefer to keep wiki discussions on-wiki, so I will reply here. It would be fantastic if we could keep such a great photo! This is especially true since we don't have any other good photos of Mr. Craig. Unfortunately, copyright being copyright, there are some stringent rules we need to follow:

We would need confirmation that the copyright holder releases the file under the license stated. It's unusual (but not unheard of) for the subject of the photograph to own the copyright (this is usually owned by the photographer unless it was created as a Work for Hire). If Mr. Craig owns the copyright, he would need to assert this to the Wikimedia OTRS team, as well as confirm the license. Otherwise, the photographer would need to do so. Also important is that the copyright holder understands the license and is aware that the photo could be used, for example, for commercial purposes. Once this email is sent, the template OTRS-pending should be added to the photo's description page to flag it for the team.

This is best explained Wikimedia Commons OTRS page (although since you uploaded the photo here, the corresponding email address to send permission/licensing information to is permissions-en@wikimedia.org). If it turns out that we can keep it, it should probably be moved to Wikimedia Commons anyway, so that other projects (like Wikipedia in other languages) can use it. Another good page to read is Requesting_copyright_permission. Please let me know if I can help with anything! Storkk (talk) 16:29, 16 June 2015 (UTC)
