 * Thank you for the advice, Deconstructhis. I am not related to or employed by any of the people or organizations whom I have edited or written about. However, I am very interested in most of the subjects that I have edited, which I suppose means I'm biased.


 * I am trying to maintain objectivity through my biases, and I also am doing my best to "exercise great caution". However, I am not very experienced with Wikipedia and I'm still learning my way around this community. So again I thank you. SimianB (talk) 03:15, 14 July 2011 (UTC)

Regarding the above
Hi SimianB,

Some time ago, you uploaded an image - File:Marshall_Vian_Summers.png - that was originally from the flickr account of "NewKnowledgeLibrary".

Because this flickr account has no history other than uploading this one image, the license has been called into question at

Am I correct in guessing/assuming that you are connected with this organization in some way?

If so, could you have an authorized agent send a statement of permission to permissions-en@wikimedia.org confirming the Creative Commons license for this photo? There is a sample statement that the organization can use at CONSENT.

The purpose of this is not to create a pointless hoop to jump through - it is to ensure that the license represents the actual wishes of the copyright holder and prevents someone from taking an image they did not make and claiming it as their own.

Thank you and please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. --B (talk) 20:34, 28 March 2013 (UTC)
