File talk:Artist Lennie Mace, 365DAZE publicity photo, New York City 1998.jpg
Questions concerning copyright/permission relating to this photo have been addressed to OTRS by the photographer. To Commons staff in a position to assist: please act accordingly to reverse any questions in a timely manner and remove all warnings. I am the Wikipedia editor who solicited images from Lennie Mace (the artist appearing in the image) for use in related wikis. To my knowledge all contact with the photographer and artist related to this image is above suspicion.
In separate matters, there has been a mass-deletion of images related to another subject of wikis to which I'm a contributor or author, specifically James Mylne (artist) and artwork he also uploaded to Commons by request for use on his wiki and the Ballpoint pen artwork wiki. To anyone with any level of power with these concerns, I'd like to formally protest the deletions, and I've already submitted a request for reinstatement. The James Mylne files were all uploaded by the artist himself by my request for the betterment of educational purposes of wikipedia as a whole. The deletions in this case were carried out without adequate notification or time. The current annoyances only serve to further tying up the time of all parties concerned for no necessary reason. Someone please act and reply! Penwatchdog (talk) 15:01, 5 March 2013 (UTC)
