Conflict of interest editing

Hello, Harry George Pellegrin. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about in the article Harry G. Pellegrin, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:

• avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
• instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the {{request edit}} template);
• when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
• avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
• exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. -- Marchjuly (talk) 00:31, 26 April 2017 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Harry g pellegrin 2008.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Harry g pellegrin 2008.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

• make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
• Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F11 of the criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- Marchjuly (talk) 00:32, 26 April 2017 (UTC)

Hi Harry George Pellegrin. In general, the person who takes a photo (i.e., the photographer) is considered to hold the copyright over the photo and, therefore, only they can release the photo under a free license for Wikipedia. This is because a free license in Wikipedia terms means that the copyright holder is essentially giving anyone anywhere in the world advance permission to download the file and use it in any way, including for commercial purposes. This is why Wikipedia requires that a permissions email be sent to Wikipedia OTRS for verification purposes whenever any doubt. Since you are pictured in the photo and since it appears to be of professional quality, I think it's best for you to follow the instructions in the above template and send it the required email. If there was some kind of official copyright transfer agreement, then just included that information in your email. If by chance the file is deleted for some reason, don't panic. Files are not really deleted from Wikipedia; they are only hidden from public view and can be fairlly easily "undeleted" once their licensing has been verified to be acceptable for Wikipedia. -- Marchjuly (talk) 00:40, 26 April 2017 (UTC)

As per above, the copyright ownership is going to need to be verified to ascertain whether its licensing is acceptable for Wikipedia. Generally, the copyrighs on the cover art of books, etc. are held by the publishing company, unless there is some sort of agreement stating otherwise. So, you just need to clarify the files copyright status by emailing Wikipedia OTRS. -- Marchjuly (talk) 00:43, 26 April 2017 (UTC)
