If you have the permission to use the image, it shouldn't be a problem. You just need to use the correct copyright tag for the picture, please see Wikipedia:File copyright tags. Alex Shih^Talk 18:51, 1 August 2017 (UTC)

The file name was wrong. I fixed it for you and added a copyright tag. Alex Shih^Talk 19:24, 1 August 2017 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Hawk Alfredson, Artist and Painting.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Hawk Alfredson, Artist and Painting.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- Marchjuly (talk) 00:20, 2 August 2017 (UTC)

File:Hawk Alfredson, Artist and Painting.jpg

Marchjuly has given much needed information concerning use of this image. However, it's still unclear if I have obtained "a clear and explicit declaration of consent from the photographer" by having her sign a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported and GNU Free Documentation license. Please note: the photographer was the artist's wife, and the form I had her sign states that she is the creator of the photograph and by signing the agreement "I acknowledge that by doing so I grant anyone the right to use the work in a commercial product or otherwise, and to modify it according to their needs . . . I am aware that this agreement is not limited to Wikipedia or related sites . . . I am aware that I always retain copyright of my work and retain the right to be attributed in accordance with the license chosen." I also obtained a similar permission from the artist (Hawk Alfredson) since part of one of his paintings is shown in the photograph; it is my understanding that an artist always maintain the copyright on the _image_ that s/he creates. If this procedure and documentation doesn't allow the use of the photograph, would you please give me information about source of a "freely licensed equivalent image." I've done extensive searching, to no avail. LeeHan 20:27, 3 August 2017 (UTC)

There's really no 100% way for anyone to tell if the licensing documentation you have in your possession is actually OK for Wikipedia/Wikimedia Commons without their actually seeing it. The editors who make such verifications are called OTRS volunteers. So, what you probably need to do is to send copies of all of the documentation you have to WP:Contact OTRS so that a volunteer can verify it. Please take the time to read through c:COM:OTRS for more details on what kinds of information is needed.

There are only so many volunteers and there tend to be lots of requests for verificatoin submitted, but someone will eventually get to it. If, by chance, a file or files are deleted in the meantime, do not panic and try and re-upload them. Files which are deleted are not really gone forever; they are hidden from public view and can be unhidden once their licensing has been verified. Once an email has been sent in, you may add Template:OTRS pending to the file's page. This will let others know that a verification email has been sent in, so that they do not delete the file while it's waiting to be reviewed. Once the email has be entered into the OTRS system, an OTRS volunteer will add Template:OTRS received to the file's page. Files whose licensing has been verified by OTRS will have Template:OTRS permission added to their pages, so that other editors are aware that the file's licensing is OK. If there is a problem with the licensing, then OTRS will not accept the file and let the person emailing them know.

The person emailing OTRS will receive a reply containing an OTRS ticket number. This is sort of like a "case number" and can be used for reference whenever you discuss the file with OTRS. Because of the sometime sensitive information contained in OTRS emails, only OTRS volunteer can typically access them. If you are not the actual person who sends in the email, you may in turn find your access to OTRS information limited out due to privacy concerns; however, if you have any questions about the status of an email, etc., the best thing to do is to ask for assistance at WP:OTRSN.

Finally, please start signing your talk page posts correctly. There's a special way of signing posts on Wikipedia that will add all the required links and time stamps. The easiest way to sign a post is to use 4 tilde as explained at WP:TILDE. If you have any more general questions, please feel free to ask them here. However, I am not an administrator or an OTRS volunteer, so there is certain things I cannot do and certain information I do not have access to wit respect to Wikipedia. -- Marchjuly (talk) 00:27, 4 August 2017 (UTC)
