License tagging for Image:Amy Ressler.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Amy Ressler.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

Hi, the problem is not that you need to prove that Amy gave her permission to use the image. The problem is that we can not use images by virtue of permission to use in a Wikipedia article alone. Wikipedia content is supposed to be free licenced meaning anyone can copy, modify, use and even sell it. Having permission to only use it in an article simply does not cover all of this, and so is not considered a free license. In order to use the image we need the copyright holder's (persumably the photographer or whoever paid thim to take the photo) explicit permission to release the image under terms that are at least compatable with the GNU Free Documentation License (must allow modifications, redistribution and commercial use), see Requesting copyright permission for details. --Sherool (talk) 06:23, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
