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

If you created 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 , 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 .

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as 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 the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Eeekster (talk) 20:40, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

Hi, Eeekster - Thanks for the pointers and guidance. A question: the image itself is a work-for-hire commissioned by Mark Karen's management. I have an email from them asking that I upload it in place of the now-obsolete Jemimiah Puddleduck shot. I've explained the CC licensing situation and have received confirmation from Mark's team that the photographer has given permission for the usage, under CC Attrib. v3.0.

So I'm not entirely sure which email would satisfy Wiki's requirements for verification, as I don't specifically have a note from the photographer. (I'm pretty sure I can get such a note from Alan, though.) Should I go ahead and send the note I have from Mark's management, or ask them to ask Andy to send me a note to forward, or both? Thanks again! - nic
