Image caption

I've had to remove the image that Brucemont22 uploaded, since it looks like it was taken from the author's official website. Your username gives off the impression that you are someone other than Nataki Hewling, who would presumably own the copyrights to the image, if the rights are not owned by Alexander.

If you are the copyright holder you will need to send an e-mail to WP:OTRS giving Wikipedia permission to use the image since it was previously published elsewhere. Now if you aren't, you need to be careful about uploading images in the future, as marking things as your own work (that aren't yours) can be seen as a copyright violation. The reason why Wikipedia is so protective of this is because uploading an image to Wikipedia frequently places it in the public domain, something that not all copyright holders want to do with their work. Just stating that it was taken by a certain person is not protection enough in this case.

I've nominated it for deletion, but if you do represent the copyright holder and want it to be released into the public domain then you can e-mail OTRS. Once the proper permissions are received, Commons will restore the image. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 07:02, 1 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
