File:Dr Tony Tan.jpg
Hi, thanks for uploading "commons:File:Dr Tony Tan.jpg". However, given this photograph's lack of EXIF data and the fact that it appears to be an official portrait, to ensure that the photograph was not uploaded in breach of copyright, we need you to send an e-mail from an official e-mail account to confirming that you are the copyright holder and consent to licensing the photograph under the CC-BY-SA-3.0 licence, or are authorized by the copyright holder to do so. For more information on this procedure, please see "Commons:OTRS". Thanks. — Cheers, Jack Lee  –talk– 10:52, 23 June 2011 (UTC)


 * The photo was acquired from the subject's workplace. This has now been replaced by a candid shot taken today at a press conference. Tangoromeo2 (talk) 14:35, 23 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks very much, but there still doesn't seem to be enough information provided for "File:Tony Tan 20110623.jpg" to ensure that the photograph is properly licensed to the Commons. Are you Michael Tan? If so, can you please send an e-mail to confirming your identity and the fact that you consent to licensing the image under the CC-BY-SA-3.0 and GFDL licences. If you are not Michael Tan, then the e-mail needs to come from him. Could you please take this step so we can ensure that the copyright in the photograph has been properly dealt with? — Cheers,  Jack Lee  –talk– 08:49, 24 June 2011 (UTC)


 * I am not Michael Tan but will ask him to send the email as requested. Tangoromeo2 (talk) 12:41, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Great, thanks. Please leave a message here for me when the e-mail has been sent. — Cheers, Jack Lee  –talk– 15:52, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Many thanks. Verification email was sent last night, Singapore time. Acknowledgement from Wikimedia Commons has been received and the details on the file have been updated. Tangoromeo2 (talk) 07:57, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Brilliant. If you would like to contribute other images that are not taken by you personally, just use the same procedure. Thanks very much. — Cheers, Jack Lee  –talk– 14:35, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

Tony Tan and Mary Tan 2011.jpg
Hi. Does the permission that the photographer Michael Tan gave for "File:Tony Tan 20110623.jpg" cover "File:Tony Tan and Mary Tan 2011.jpg" as well? (The e-mail must have either specifically mentioned the second photograph or stated something to the effect that he is willing to license all photographs uploaded by you under the CC-BY-SA-3.0 and GFDL licences.) Otherwise, Michael will need to send a separate e-mail concerning the photograph to. Thanks. — Cheers, Jack Lee  –talk– 08:33, 22 July 2011 (UTC) According to an OTRS volunteer, the permission given by Michael Tan for "File:Tony Tan 20110623.jpg" does not cover "File:Tony Tan and Mary Tan 2011.jpg". Could you please ask the photographer to send the e-mail I referred to in my previous e-mail? If not, the photograph will have to be nominated for deletion. — Cheers, Jack Lee  –talk– 12:12, 26 July 2011 (UTC)

Thanks very much for arranging for the copyright holder to confirm his agreement to licensing this photograph. I realize the procedure can be rather inconvenient, but it ensures that all the legalities are properly documented so that the photograph can be legitimately used in Wikipedia articles and elsewhere. — Cheers, Jack Lee  –talk– 17:52, 3 August 2011 (UTC)

Campaign banners and posters
Are you by any chance assisting Dr. Tony Tan with his presidential campaign bid? As the 2011 election is around the corner, it is likely that volunteer photographers will be taking photographs of campaign banners and posters issued by candidates for the Wikimedia Commons. Such photographs are significant from a historical perspective, and obviously useful for illustrating Wikipedia articles and other purposes. If you are in touch with Dr. Tan, I would like to find out whether he is agreeable to licensing the copyright in his election banners and posters under a Creative Commons CC-zero or Attribution 3.0 (CC-BY-3.0) licence so that photographs of them can be uploaded to the Commons. You can e-mail me by visiting my user page and clicking on the "E-mail this user" link on the left side of the screen. (I would have e-mailed Dr. Tan directly, but I could not find any e-mail address on his Facebook page.) — Cheers, Jack Lee  –talk– 17:51, 3 August 2011 (UTC)
