File permission problem with File:David Sullivan photographer.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:David Sullivan photographer.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.

Watkins Glen photos
I take a lot of photos and some of them I put into articles. Many of the subjects I take already have photos, and I've very good at objectively comparing the photos and using the best one, regardless of whether it is mine or not. I have done this for hundreds of article, with hundreds of images. I did not retain my images because they are mine, but because they're better for the purpose they serve in the article. Yours are simply not as appropriate, because they require more real estate on the page to make their impact, and they are also too dark to work effectively. Please do not undo my edits again without discussing them on the articles' talk pages. Furthermore, please do not edit while logged out - now that you have an account, you should always edit with the account. Thanks. BTW, please communicate with me me via User talk:Beyond My Ken not on my user page. Beyond My Ken (talk) 01:12, 1 October 2012 (UTC)

Formatting of Comments
First, thanks for your pic on Guelph, that's stellar! Second, when adding comments to talk pages, such as you did on Talk:Guelph, please refrain from bolding the whole thing. I have corrected you comments appropriately. If you want to bold your signature, you can change this in your preferences. Hit me up on my talk page if you have any further questions.
