If you, for example, worked for the school and took the photo in accordance with your official duties, the school, not you, would own the photograph. If you are the copyright holder, could you describe the circumstances by which the school is displaying your photo on their website? Thanks. --] (]) 05:07, 31 December 2008 (UTC) | |||
| :The answer to this question may be very important indeed. This user is a major contributor to a rather contentious article about the school.] (]) 14:33, 2 January 2009 (UTC) | |||
| ::Hi guys: In July 2008, I disclosed to the editors on this article , that "while I have a somewhat more than passing familiarity with the school, I am not an employee. I have however, seen first-hand the positive, long-term impact of the school's program since involvement. This is what prompted me to write the article in the first place." You are correct, that this is the same photo that as it happens, appears on their website. You however, are incorrect in the possible explanation of it's coincidental appearance on both their website and in Wikimedia Commons. | |||
| ::Correct me if I'm wrong, but I seem to recall that Misplaced Pages users are entitled to a degree of anonymity with respect to their identities - e.g. ]. I unfortunately cannot be more specific about the origins of this photograph without revealing more about myself than I am comfortable doing. I will therefore confine myself to saying that the photograph is used as allowed by the license holder, and ask that you take that statement on ]. If you reject that assumption, then it is your right to delete the photograph from the Wikimedia Commons, but you will be doing so under a false premise. In the interest of maintaining my anonymity however, I will not contest the action, should you choose to take it. '''- ]''' <sub>(])</sub> 20:07, 2 January 2009 (UTC) | |||
| :::You are correct as I understand it.<br>And this is one of the reasons one should avoid editing articles too-closely related to one's "real life self". It is easy to damage that anonymity.<br>Another big reason is that it damages one's ability to keep an NPoV, as some ex-students of FFS show.<br>I was just concerned about the level of involvement, and seeing the pic mentioned as the same as on the web site made me flinch.

| ::::Understood, and no worries. You have not, as you put it, spent a lot of work on "a carefully-constructed advertisement." It's important to have a balanced article and I very much get and support that. That's why I was the one who worked on the congressional testimony and the ] article. Though, I've always been a little confused by the arguably schizophrenic proposition that you should write about what you know about, but don't know too much, or else you risk being biased. It's very hard to balance the two. Thanks for your help. I'll see you on the article's talk page. '''- ]''' <sub>(])</sub> 21:14, 5 January 2009 (UTC) | |||
