File:Jordan Jansen age 15.jpg

Hello, thank you for your recent upload of this image of Jordan Jansen. Firstly, I note this is an image of a well known person which appears a lot on other sites. Could you please clarify where you obtained this image from? Did you physically take the photograph yourself or did you obtain it from another source, such as from another person or a website? I also note that you state the author to be "Lee-Anne Jansen" - is this you or someone else? If you are the photographer I would recommend uploading a higher resolution version if possible to make the image more usable. CT Cooper · talk 16:45, 7 June 2013 (UTC)

All questions regarding this photo should be directed to infojordanjansen.com which is the contact listed on the official website. Oba4jordan (talk) 03:33, 8 June 2013 (UTC)

For the purpose of transparency, inquiries into the copyright status of images hosted on Commons should be answered on Commons. CT Cooper · talk 10:23, 8 June 2013 (UTC)

The copyright owner is Lee-Anne Jansen, mother of Jordan Jansen. The uploader is Lee-Anne Jansen. A higher resolution version will not be uploaded. Oba4jordan (talk) 10:53, 8 June 2013 (UTC)

Thank you, that is sufficient information. We unfortunately do get a lot of uploads depicting famous people which violate copyright, which can create a large number of issues. I don't see anything which suggests this is an example of that. However, if you wish to be on the safe side you may want to send a note from the infojordanjansen.com official e-mail address to permissions-commonswikimedia.org just to confirm permission from the author and copyright holder to release the image under the Creative Commons-Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 license.
