Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. We always appreciate when users upload new images. However, it appears that one or more of the images you have recently uploaded or added to an article, specifically Doug Black, may fail our non-free image policy. Most often, this involves editors uploading or using a copyrighted image of a living person. For other possible reasons, please read up on our Non-free image criteria. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. 117Avenue (talk) 07:19, 5 September 2013 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Doug Black. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been reverted or removed. Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive, until the dispute is resolved through consensus. Continuing to edit disruptively could result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. 117Avenue (talk) 06:04, 7 September 2013 (UTC)
 * If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor then please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
 * If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Doug Black, you may be blocked from editing. 117Avenue (talk) 06:07, 7 September 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for putting up that picture. And sorry for the previous issues regarding my posting. I was asked to put up these pictures on behalf of the senator. To avoid future issues, would you suggest pulling pictures from Flickr generally? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mikecoeur (talk • contribs) 14:19, 9 September 2013 (UTC)


 * I would prefer professional photos, but the problem in Canada is that, unlike the United States, the governments retain the copyright on their photos. So more times than not we end up using photos from a public event for politicians. Here is a simple guide for which images on Flickr can be used, and here is a more detailed page on using Flickr images. If you represent someone who would like to release their professional photo for their article, Wikipedia, and free education, you can follow the instructions at Commons:OTRS, a service used to verify the copyright holder of an image. Hope this helps. 117Avenue (talk) 05:06, 10 September 2013 (UTC)

Thank you very much! I will be seeing him later this week. Right now,I think I'll snap a couple more suitable pictures (your choice will work in the interim!)and place them on Flickr as that seems the easiest route. But I'll check with him to see if he has any professional pictures available, and perhaps we'll give OTRS a try.
