Image removed from Rebecca Renner article
I've had to remove File:Rebecca Renner.jpg from the Rebecca Renner article, because the image is not under a free license. For an image to be free for Wikipedia purposes, it must be free for any uses, including commercial reuse. —C.Fred (talk) 02:04, 16 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Hi C.Fred, I tweeted at the author and she changed the rights to the image on her website: "All images on this page are free to use in the public domain, released by Rebecca Renner as of December 15th, 2018." Does this help at all? I'm pretty new to this, so I guess I'm still learning. --Mary Alice Mo (talk) 03:08, 16 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Please see the message I left for you at c:User talk:Mary Alice Mo. There are a couple of things that you and Renner need to understand:
 * Generally, it's the photographer taking the photo, not the subject of the photo, who is the copyright holder (unless there's been some kind of copyright transfer agreement or it was a work for hire. So, if Renner is not the photographer, a WP:CONSENT email may still need to be sent to Wikimedia OTRS.
 * Once you release a file like this, there's really no going back. This means anyone can pretty much download the file from Commons and use it anyway they want (including some bad ways) without needing Renner's consent. You and she might feel the file will only be used on Wikipedia, but you'd be surprised as to how many people find out otherwise that this is not the case. Renner or the copyright holder will still own the copyright over the original photo, but they will have no control over the Commons version.
 * If none of 2 above is OK with you or her, then you might want to try get the file deleted from Commons asap. -- Marchjuly (talk) 03:45, 16 December 2018 (UTC)
