I'm Mfermier, and after googling "wiki sockpuppet" I can confirm I'm not a sock puppet. I live in Texas and was interested in the Florida Gov race and when I went to the page I saw there wasn't a picture for the Libertarian guy so I tried to add it. Once I learned how you add a photo I quickly learned you need copyright permission because it got removed. So, being bored at work and determined to figure out how to properly upload a photo I emailed the campaign and found out from them that Danielle Alexandre is the campaign manager and the person who took the photo I wanted to upload. So I emailed her and received back written authorization to upload the picture on her behalf. I did so and also forwarded our correspondence to 'permissions-en@wikimedia.org' and am awaiting a OTR (I think that right) number to verify that I had adequate permission. All that to say, I'm not sure how that makes me a sock puppet, and also if anyone can help me continue to learn how to properly upload pictures like I'm trying to do would be much appreciated. Thanks, MFermier. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mfermier (talk • contribs) 15:10, 16 October 2014 (UTC)

 * All I see in the diffs provided are a small number of editors attempting to add an image to an article over a period of a month. I checked OTRS and can confirm that a ticket was sent by as they have noted above. I don't see any worrisome behaviour worthy of a check and am therefore closing the report without further action.-- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots  20:52, 16 October 2014 (UTC)
