United States Declaration of Independence

Hi, you recently reverted my edit to United States Declaration of Independence because it was, in your words, "unsourced". The image of the engrossed Declaration of Independence, which contains the misspelling "Brittish" that I faithfully reproduced, is already linked on the United States Declaration of Independence page.

@Incremental Improvements: Hi there! First, I'd like to apologize for using rollback to revert your edit without leaving a clear edit summary. That was my error. Regarding the misspelling: According to MOS:QUOTE, "trivial spelling and typographic errors should simply be corrected without comment... unless the slip is textually important." Unless the spelling of "Brittish" has some significance to it, I think we should correct it to "British." If it is significant to warrant retaining the misspelling, it would be good to have a source. Thanks, and happy editing! Tony Tan · talk 18:31, 2 August 2016 (UTC)

File:PACTF Team Members 2016.jpg

You uploaded, File:PACTF Team Members 2016.jpg, where you either stated that you had permission to upload it or that evidence of such permission would be provided on request. Wikipedia needs the permission to be explicit and proven at the time of upload.

Please read Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission, which advises on how to confirm the permission you obtained from a third party.

It is also advisable to ask the third-party what source attribution they desire, as opposed to marking the image as having been "sent personally". Sfan00 IMG (talk) 13:30, 4 August 2016 (UTC)

@Sfan00 IMG: Hi there! What a templated and robotic post this is. Anyways, here is my response:

The image upload wizard had an option for me to choose, which said that evidence can be provided upon request. So I chose the option. The permission is in fact very explicit, because the author of the image captured the image at my request using my device, and he has fully consented to distributing the image under the CC BY-SA 4.0 license.

The image that I uploaded is also the one with the highest resolution. You cannot find the same or a better resolution anywhere else on the Internet prior to my uploading it to Wikipedia. Therefore, there is not a clear way for me to "confirm" the permission from an external source. The author doesn't even hold a copy of the picture since it has always been on my device.

Again, I am not ignorant of copyright policies and of course I have asked for the attribution that the author desires. The image is not "sent personally" as it is captured on my own device in the first place, but the permission is granted personally because I asked him before he took the picture and he gave his consent.
