File:English Teacher band 2024.png[edit]
Hi Alden Lovenshade. Since you're claiming File:English Teacher band 2024.png as your "own work", I'm wondering whether you could provide a little more detail about it. There have recently been several other files of the band uploaded to Commons/Wikipedia which have had licensing/permission related issues that ended up leading to their deletion. So, if you can provide a link, EXIF data or even perhaps email COM:VRT per COM:EMAIL to help verify your copyright ownership, then that would go a long way in helping to avoid this file being deleted from Commons. The image kind of looks like a composite of other images taken of the band's members, and might therefore be a COM:DW. If that's the case, not only would the licensing of the derivative, but also the licensing of any other works used to create the derivative would need to be verified. So, if it's a derivative created using other photos, providing links or other information about their en:provenance would also aid in the verification process. -- Marchjuly (talk) 20:46, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
