Dear CoffeeEngineer, I don't understand why you think these images should be deleted. Please explain the problem you have with them. And Please ask me any questions you might have regarding them. The fact is, I am the photographer of the all images and I appear in all of them. They are "selfies." I understand this is entirely OK. I would appreciate it if you would rescind your request to delete. Thank you. Sincerely, Victor Acevedo -- acevedo347@gmail.com 2600:1700:F010:BB40:FC7A:58FA:DA18:72D7 02:36, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Dear CoffeeEngineer, Ok I see the links you have directed me to regarding “selfies” =

“F10. Personal photos by non-contributors

Low-to-medium quality selfies and other personal images of or by users who have no constructive global contributions.^”

I am a known professional artist with a long track record going back to 1977. I uploaded

two different ‘self-portrait’ photos at different resolutions to Wikimedia Commons so that 3^rd parties could use the photos on a website or in print article about me and my work, without worrying about copyright infringement. The phots are uploaded with the Creative Commons license: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.en

They are not being “stored on the Commons for personal use.”

I see that many other artists upload pictures of themselves that they own for this purpose. In this context, what does it really matter that I took the pictures myself? It is not a case of just uploading a selfie for a trivial purpose.

What if the picture of me is taken by someone else? Would that be more acceptable?

I’d also like to address this issue of “no contribution anywhere else”, and “no constructive global contributions. What do you mean by this? Please give me a couple of examples of where and how “contructive contributions” are made.

Can you direct me to where these concepts are discussed in more detail within the Wiki Commons guidelines? Thank you.

I feel that I am responding here in good faith. Sincerely, Victor Acevedo VCAcevedo (talk) 03:26, 8 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
