Do you have a conflict of interest with Tom Arnold (economist)?

Greetings! I see you uploaded File:Tom-Arnold-Concern-HQ-Camden-St-3-09-GK-19.jpg to Commons; that image is currently used at Tom Arnold (economist). You claim that image as your own work. However, a crop of that image appears at http://www.oecdobserver.org/news/fullstory.php/aid/3211/ with the notation "©Concern Worldwide".

Did you take the original photo and license it for Concern's use, or are you affiliated with—and have a conflict of interest with—Concern and Arnold? —C.Fred (talk) 13:55, 16 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hey C.Fred, I got the image from the office of Tom Arnold. They told me that they owned the image and that I could add it to wiki commons with full permission to share it with anyone who wanted it. It is the first image I've uploaded as commons, so I probably gave it the wrong type of classification. Any guidance on what classification would be more appropriate would be appreciated. NOMurchu

Well, contact them and ask them whether it's under Creative Commons license, or whether they've waived all rights and put it into the public domain. —C.Fred (talk) 13:56, 17 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I contacted Aisling Duggan in the CEO's office and they waive all rights to it and agree to put it in the public domain. NOMurchu (talk) 10:10, 20 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Based on your statement, I have changed the image's description to note that Concern Worldwide is the author and that they have released the image into the public domain. —C.Fred (talk) 13:42, 20 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
