Thanks for the images!

Thanks for releasing the many images in https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Ariel_Levy_(writer). I'm afraid I am the unfortunate person who uploaded the image you didn't like, which eventually got you to contribute all these. However, you also want to write an email to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org from an email address at ariellevy.net that says something like:

"I am the journalist and author Ariel Levy, and I own the rights to the photos of me uploaded by Commons users Arielvlevy and Arielvictorialevy, and I release them under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 4.0 International license."

Ideally you should also either write that you are the photographer, or that the photographs are a work for hire by (name of photographer), which is how you own the rights. Because otherwise, eventually someone will decide that we need proof that someone claiming to be you and owning the rights actually is you, and will ask that those pictures be deleted until we have that proof. (Since there are, unfortunately, people on the Internet who claim to be those whom they are not.) An email from ariellevy.net will probably suffice as that proof; if not, maybe one from newyorker.com, or some other proof that would not be trivially available to others. --GRuban (talk) 20:02, 29 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

And, yup, there it goes: the first nomination for deletion Really, all these wonderful images will be deleted, unless you write that email or in some other way show that they are (1) yours, and (2) truly released. If you can't write the email, how about putting a page on http://www.ariellevy.net that says as much? --GRuban (talk) 20:14, 29 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

And there it went; deleted. I'll put up some of those that are left, but they'll be in danger too. Please, put up a page on your website and/or write permissions-commons@wikimedia.org. --GRuban (talk) 15:13, 6 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
