August 2016
Hello! Thank you for your recent contributions to Debbie Arnold. I did have one note for you. I am working on a maintenance project to clean up Category:Pages using infoboxes with thumbnail images. In the future, please do not use thumbnails when adding images to an infobox (see WP:INFOBOXIMAGE). What does this mean? Well in the infobox, when you specify the image you wish to use, instead of doing it like this:

SomeImage.jpg

Instead just supply the name of the image. So in this case you can simply do:

SomeImage.jpg.

There will then be a separate parameter for the image caption such as Some image caption. Please note that this is a generic form message I am leaving on your page because you recently added a thumbnail to an infobox. The specific parameters for the image and caption may be different for the infobox you are using! Please consult the Template page for the infobox being used to see better documentation. Thanks!!

File permission problem with File:DebbieArnold.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:DebbieArnold.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for 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 permissions-en@wikimedia.org, 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 permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as non-free fair use 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 Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- Amanda  (aka DQ) 15:24, 17 January 2017 (UTC)
 * I see you have reverted the no permission tag. I actively monitor new, incoming emails. I also searched extensively for your permissions, and I did not see it. Do you have a ticket number from an automatic system reply? Since there is no permissions ticket at this time, I have reverted it back. -- Amanda  (aka DQ) 05:12, 24 January 2017 (UTC)
 * No, it is not sufficient to just say "Debbie ok'd it". First, the copyright holder is the person who took the picture, not the person who is depicted in the image. Second, I could take any image off the web and say the copyright holder says it's ok. This specific image comes from her own website which at the bottom says copyright to her. So even if the copyright was transferred to her to put on her own site, there is no declared licence that indicates it. Please see our policy on requesting permission. -- Amanda  (aka DQ) 15:59, 24 January 2017 (UTC)
