Your edits
[edit]Unfortunately, your edits were counterproductive, insofar as you removed license tags without nominating for deletion -- and asserting copyright claims over "The Kid" is completely bogus, since that movie is necessarily out of copyright in the United States. Furthermore, you may represent the firm which licenses posthumous personality rights for Chaplin's estate, but that doesn't mean you control copyrights for everything Chaplin did in his career and every photograph taken of Chaplin (which is quite a different matter).

- Please note, there is a discussion about your edit history at Commons:Administrators'_noticeboard/User_problems#User:Charliechaplinofficial. It would be appreciated if you could comment there and hopefully put forward a rationale for the changes you have made. In the meantime I have taken the initiative to revert your edits.

Your e-mail
[edit]Unfortunately, you removed copyright tags asserting such things as that "The Kid" is out of copyright in the United States, when it's factually true that "The Kid" is out of copyright in the United States, and you seemed to be on the verge of asserting that you had ownership of copyright over all photos taken of Chaplin (no matter who took them or under what circumstances). In any case, you don't really need to convince me, since I have very little personal power on Wikimedia Commons. You should have offered your comments when the matter was under discussion at Commons:Administrators'_noticeboard/User_problems . You can re-raise the issue there, but I would advise you not to redo all your original image description page edits, because they were not seen as constructive or useful in the form in which you made them...
