 * Comment Something about that picture just makes me think it needs OTRS, plus it's pretty small and the EV of the band in general along with WP:N is probably questionable... I'm tempted to tag it with imho. —  raeky  T  02:10, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't understand why a work from the author need much more. I have added, which I think it does need.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 03:42, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
 * What I mean is, it looks rather professional, and for professional photographers we usually like to have OTRS on file for their pictures, since at this point we're just assuming the uploader is the actual photographer, without an e-mail and ip's and other stuff to back that up. We really do get quite a few people who try to upload professional stuff and not actually own the copyright or pretend to be the photographer. — raeky  T  03:56, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
 * It just strikes me as strange that someone like Kyle Cassidy uploading a rather mismatch sample of his work in VERY wide ranges of quality (tiny to big, bland to strange) many looking to be web quality. When he has blog and website where he systematically publishes his work online, easily accessible for someone to access and upload here... I think it would be darn right foolish of us to not have record that KyleCassidy is really him. I think an OTRS admin should [mailto:kyle@kylecassidy.com e-mail] to confirm that really is his account and record it. Just seems strange the account has been active since 2007 and as most recently as January of this year without anyone requesting actual identity to backup these pictures. — raeky  T  04:16, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
 * I am glad to hear that this also strikes you as fine professional quality work. How about a conditional support saying "pending admin OTRS copyright confirmation".--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 12:56, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
 * I donno, I'm not enthused about the size, and I just don't have a good feeling about a band that has a myspace link on their homepage. Just doesn't scream notable to me. — raeky  T  13:19, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
 * As far as size goes, I think this image is larger than its downsized use on WP, which means for the purpose for which its EV is being evaluated it has abundant size.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 03:43, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
 * My first impression is that this probably is Kyle Cassidy, but I agree that a check would be nice. I've sent a quick email to the address listed on his site. J Milburn (talk) 10:21, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Yep, I can confirm that the account is run on behalf of Cassidy, and he has authorised the release of the files uploaded. In other news, Cassidy said he will look into getting a higher resolution version of this shot uploaded. J Milburn (talk) 11:31, 6 August 2010 (UTC)
 * If thats the case then I'll probably support it!, Probably a good idea to get a OTRS ticket number and link to it on User:KyleCassidy stating that it is indeed him. That way in the future someone else as picky as me doesn't have another OTRS volunteer go through that again. ;-) — raeky  T  15:03, 6 August 2010 (UTC)
