[edit] Sarah pic.jpg

hello,

There is no proof she is really the sister-in-law of the subject. But if it's true, she can send an email with copy of a written permission to OTRS (permissions-commons@wikimedia.org). Okki (talk) 11:07, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

Hello Amalthea, I take the liberty to jump into the discussion after Okki asked me for advice.

First, thank you for your interest and your contributions.

On the specific matter, File:Sarah pic.jpg will raise alarms amongst our experienced users because it is a photograph of good quality (colours, composition, lightening, ...) whose resolution is rather low by today's standards. This evokes the case of images taken on a website. The absence of meta-data (EXIF and the like) furthers this suspicion.

Please understand that nobody doubts your good faith: many people do not know what they can do and what they cannot. Uploading images taken on a website on Commons is often a honnest mistake. It would be easy to alleviate any doubt by uploading a full-resolution version of your image, preferably with the EXIF. If you did take this photograph yourself, congratulations, it turns out really well!

The fact that you are Sarah's sister-in-law is not relevant to the copyright status of the image. Of course, it is always very useful that people who have access to VIPs contribute to Commons, since we can hope for privileged points of view; but in itself, it does not have an effect on copyright.

I am at your service for any further information. Thank you again and cheers! Rama (talk) 14:24, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
