 * Oppse I think the bench is a bit too distracting, and it's cropped a bit too tight for my liking. But the main thing is that the image page says "own work", which it isn't. Permission must be given by AutomaticStrikout Snr. Matthewedwards (talk · contribs) 02:49, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Okay. For what it's worth, AutomaticStrikeout Sr. gave me permission to call it my own work and he helped me upload it. Automatic Strikeout  ( T  •  C ) 03:06, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
 * But it's not your own work, so you can't say it is. If AutomaticStrikeout Sr. offers to take the rap for your speeding ticket you might get away with it, but it doesn't make it right. AutomaticStrikeout Sr. can give you permission to upload it and you can do so on his behalf, but it's still not your work and it needs to be correctly attributed. But to give credit where credit's due, at least you were upfront about the misattribution. --jjron (talk) 13:17, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
 * It might be a while before I can fix that and I'm not even sure how to do so (this is my first upload). Automatic Strikeout  ( T  •  C ) 03:02, 28 January 2013 (UTC)
 * It'll only take you about a minute. Simply click the image to access the image page, scroll down below the pic to where it says "This is a file from the Wikimedia Commons. Information from its description page there is shown below.", click the link on the words "description page there", then simply edit the summary data for the source and author. See this example for what you could write. Technically I think you're meant to forward through an author's permission to Wikimedia, but in my non-legally-binding-opinion in cases like this that isn't really necessary. Sorry, not meaning to be a pain to you, but uploading images can be a bit of a chore, and I can bet there'd be thousands of people who have done the same as you without ever admitting to it. --jjron (talk) 09:48, 28 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I may not get the chance to do that for a while, as I don't get to access the Commons site very often. Automatic Strikeout  ( T  •  C ) 17:27, 28 January 2013 (UTC)

From the reader-friendly version of the license, "You must attribute the work in the manner specified by the author or licensor". If the author/licensor agrees to be known as "AutomaticStrikeout's dad" "AutomaticStrikeout Sr.", then he can be credited under that pseudonym. "Own work" is still out, though. – Philosopher Let us reason together. 04:27, 1 February 2013 (UTC) Edited. – Philosopher Let us reason together. 04:30, 1 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Oppose Too tightly framed, the lighting in the bottom left is so bright it's distracting, and the image itself is very grainy. gaz hiley  11:09, 28 January 2013 (UTC)
