File permission problem with File:User talk-Kevinulla.jpeg

Thanks for uploading File:User talk-Kevinulla.jpeg, which you've sourced to Tracks Magazine. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-enwikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-enwikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Skier Dude (talk) 01:49, 11 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- - The original picture is a frame cut from a 16mm movie segment by film maker Albe Falzon who later became editor of Tracks Magazine where first published in an article and entitled "Cutback of the Century".

As the person in the photo, Michael Peterson, is wearing my spare board shorts I may well be entitled to raise the case that I did not give Falzon any written or otherwise permission to publish a photo of my red board shorts. There may be some difficulty as I did give Michael permission to wear the shorts as I was living with him at the time and why I was there surfing with him when the filming took place. This of course would be about as petty an idea as this "violation" in my Wiki User page and it IS related to my history.

Point of note: The picture, whether in colour, black and white, even colourised for posters is possibly the most known and used image of him and I highly doubt the literally 1000's of reproductions across the world have had permission from anyone to post in articles, forums, webpages or social media, even picture reproductions for autographs. Yet there they are. Now as someone who was there, knew Michael Peterson very well, have permission from, and friends with, his immediate family and holders of his estate, I find it odd that I have been ostracised for posting a picture that is part of my personal history while the tens of thousands of others who have absolutely no connection to the photo, the surfer or the photographer can copy, print or publish seemingly unhindered.

I have no idea who Skier Dude is or why he is victimising one of the few people that actually does have a claim to the essence, context and fair use of the picture while others to this day are free to publish and continue publishing virtually anywhere world wide with no contextual claim what-so-ever. Beggars belief that a little research or common sense would have avoided this rather nonsensical omission.

Problem with your custom signature

You have a custom signature set in your account preferences. A change to Wikipedia's software has made your current custom signature incompatible with the software.

The problem: Your preferences are set to interpret your custom signature as wikitext. However, your current custom signature does not contain any wikitext.

The solutions: You can reset your signature to the default, or you can fix your signature.

Solution 1: Reset your signature to the default:

Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
Uncheck the box (☑︎→☐) that says "Treat the above as wiki markup."
Remove anything in the Signature: text box. (It might already be empty.)
Click the blue "Save" button at the bottom of the page. (The red "Restore all default settings" button will reset all of your preference settings, not just the signature.)

Solution 2: Fix your custom signature:

Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
Uncheck the box (☑︎→☐) that says "Treat the above as wiki markup."
Click the blue "Save" button at the bottom of the page.

More information about custom signatures is available at Wikipedia:Signatures#Customizing how everyone sees your signature. If you have followed these instructions and still want help, please leave a message at Wikipedia talk:Signatures. 19:04, 3 September 2020 (UTC)
