File:Anne Aghion- Photo.jpg

Indiejilly (talk · contribs) has added File:Anne Aghion- Photo.jpg to Anne Aghion. The licensing information says that Indiejilly owns the copyright to the image but there is no OTRS information. We have discussed Anne Aghion before at User talk:Jamesofur/Archives1#Anne Aghion and User talk:Cunard#Anne Aghion. Best, Cunard (talk) 02:37, 16 August 2010 (UTC)

if iirc I believe there is a good chance that the user did indeed have the right to release said picture but I'll leave a message and see if they are willing to send an OTRS email. In general unless questioned people do not have to send emails for their own work (but of course you questioned it ;) ). James (T C) 03:37, 16 August 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for asking Indiejilly to send an OTRS email. I want to make sure that Indiejilly owns the copyright to File:Anne Aghion- Photo.jpg in the event that someone questions it in the future. Cunard (talk) 05:54, 16 August 2010 (UTC)

Anne Aghion

Hi, Jamesofur. Would you take a look at the newest sections at User talk:Indiejilly? A user is questioning the validity of the copyright tags on three images uploaded by Indiejilly (talk · contribs). Because you have contacted Indiejilly through OTRS before, do you know if it is confirmed that Indiejilly holds the copyright permissions for those images? (We previously discussed this at User talk:Jamesofur/Archives6#File:Anne Aghion- Photo.jpg.) Thanks, Cunard (talk) 06:14, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

NYC Wikiconference

Hi Jamesofur, I want to thank you for stepping up to the plate and helping out with the Pending Changes panel at the last minute; your quick presentation on the technical side of the tool gave a lot of people a chance to see how pending changes actually works for the first time. It was good to finally meet you in person. :-) Risker (talk) 00:23, 3 September 2010 (UTC)

Definitely and thank you for setting it up, the panel went well and I felt more comfortable then I originally thought I would be when you asked for help talking about "the technical side" :). It was an interesting (and fun) weekend and was great to finally meet you, I'm sure we'll see more of each other in the future. I will admit though that it WAS a bit odd thinking that arbcom could do emergency desysops by going around the table in the room ;).. James (T C) 07:23, 4 September 2010 (UTC)
