Image copyright problem with File:Julie sweet shot.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:Julie sweet shot.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. Even if you created the image yourself, you still need to release it so Wikipedia can use it. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you made this image yourself, you can use copyright tags like {{PD-self}} (to release all rights), {{self|CC-by-sa-3.0|GFDL}} (to require that you be credited), or any tag here - just go to the image, click edit, and add one of those. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

Request reason:

Dear Editors: I appreciate the opportunity to explain my error in uploading the photograph in question. At the time I was new to the editing and uploading process -- which I realize is not an excuse for violation of posting guidelines -- and the photograph uploaded was originally taken and owned by a family member who gave permission for its use. However, I was unaware that the photograph had also been used commercially, thereby requiring a specific set of rules to be followed for its use on a Wikipedia page -- in this case a page about my wife, Julie Krone. I take full responsibility for the error and since then I have been carefully studying the Wikipedia editing guidelines so I do not make such an error again, if my editing privileges are restored. Thank you for your consideration. Hovdey (talk) 19:00, 17 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Accept reason:

Thanks for your explanation and agreeing to follow Wikipedia editing rules. I am unblocking the account and restoring all editing privileges. — CactusWriter ^(talk) 19:11, 17 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Conflict-of-interest Editing[edit]

Hovdey, it must also be noted that Wikipedia has definite rules concerning conflict-of-interest editing. Because of your relationship with the subject at Julie Krone, your edits on that page (or any related pages to the subject) are strongly discouraged. Instead, you can propose changes on the article talk page by using the {{request edit}} template. (These proposals may or may not be acted upon.) Or you can also suggest changes on the conflict-of-interest noticeboard. For a more complete explanation, please read WP:COI. If you have any questions, please ask. Good luck with your editing. — CactusWriter ^(talk) 19:28, 17 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Also, For what it's worth, I'm offering you a helping hand around here if you want one. I'm an active member of WikiProject Horse racing and WikiProject equine and have done a significant amount of work on biographies of living persons as well, so I know the ropes and can lend you a hand as you navigate the whitewater rapids of Wikipedia.

(FWIW, I was "lead" editor on American Pharoah and Ahmed Zayat this year; last year I led editing efforts on Rosie Napravnik, California Chrome, Art Sherman and DAP Racing. I've also helped some people in a similar "COI" situation to yours with articles such as Frank Lovato, Jr. and Equicizer. Montanabw ^(talk) 21:49, 19 November 2015 (UTC)) [reply]
