File:Iain Macintyre, President BSHM 2015-2017.jpg

Hi Iainmacintyre. Can you clarify why this photo is your “own work”? Generally, it’s the photographer who takes a photo not the subject of the photo who is considered to be the copyright holder and it’s the copyright holder’s consent which is needed for a photo to be kept under this type of copyright license. This photo looks more like something taken by another person (perhaps something you arrange yourself or was arranged on your behalf) than it looks like a selfie, and in that case Wikipedia would require the photographer’s consent for it to be released under such a license or verification that the copyright has been transferred to you, particularly if the photo is also available from some other website. Please see c:Commons:OTRS for more on this. — Marchjuly (talk) 22:57, 29 October 2019 (UTC)

Thanks @Marchjuly: You are quite right, this was taken by a friend. I don't know his current whereabouts to get permission so it should therefore be deleted. Thanks for pointing this out. Yet more for my learning experience. Papamac (talk) 12:23, 30 October 2019 (UTC)

COI editing

Hi again Iainmacintyre. I’m adding this as separate post because it involves something related to but not exactly the same as my above post about photo of yourself. If you’re connected in something more than a casual way to the BSHM, then you need to be aware of WP:COI and adhere to the guidelines given on that page as much as possible. This doesn’t mean that you need to stop every thing that you’re doing, but just be careful in doing them. Wikipedia doesn’t expressly prohibit COI editing (undeclared compensated editing, however, isn’t permitted), but it does highly discourage it for some very good reasons. The best thing to do if you’ve got a COI is to be as transparent as possible and follow WP:COIADVICE and WP:DECLARECOI. You’ve been editing for quite some time so maybe you already know all of this, but please read the relevant policy/guideline pages if you’re not familiar with them. — Marchjuly (talk) 23:15, 29 October 2019 (UTC)

Many thanks @Marchjuly:. I hadn't read the COI guidance before so very useful to know. Papamac (talk) 14:34, 30 October 2019 (UTC)

WP:OUTING

Please be wary of providing personal details that reveal the real-life identity of other Wikipedians, as you did at Wikipedia:Files for discussion/2019 October 24. The edit has now been suppressed. Yunshui ^雲_水 08:02, 30 October 2019 (UTC)
