- Schrute123,
- I see you have replaced the copyright violation template with an OTRS pending one. Be sure to actually send the copyright release email, you can use Commons:Wikimedia VRT release generator. Also you have marked the file as your own work (ie. you held the camera), with the date of October 2021. If you were provided the image by Ameya Prabhu then you should mark the image date, source and author to reflect the actual photographer. Additionally the copyright of the image is with the photographer, not Ameya Prabhu unless the photographer has transferred the copyright to Prabhu. This copyright transfer may or may not be included in commercial photography company contracts. MKFI (talk) 15:07, 21 October 2021 (UTC)
- Schrute123,
- If the file is a self-portait by Ameya Prabhu that simplifies things, but you should still mark Ameya Prabhu as the author and source. You can edit the description of the image to correct this. To confirm copyright please send and email with the release generator and include what message you got from Ameya Prabhu use this image. MKFI (talk) 18:51, 22 October 2021 (UTC)
