Jerry Avenaim

Would it be possible for you in some way to confirm your identity is Jerry Avenaim. As I'm sure you can appreciate, Wikimedia Commons takes copyright very seriously and so it would be helpful if we could be sure that you are the photographer Jerry Avenaim. The photographer has a website at http://www.avenaim.com/ and I could send an email asking for confirmation there which would quickly decide this issue. So, perhaps you might wish to tell me before I do, are you really this photographer and if not do you have their permission to upload their images? Adambro 23:24, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Adambro

Feel free to email me from either of my web sites avenaim.com or jerryavenaim.com you will be sent an automated spam protection message the first time you email me. Once you authenticate yourself (you need do so only once), I will receive the message and reply. Jerry Avenaim 04:24, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

Email sent, not had a spam protection message back yet though. Adambro 21:26, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

Ahh, now I do. Adambro 21:32, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

Could you please add a license tag to Image:Phil 1.jpg and Image:Pma-snap.jpg as you have done with your other images. Cheers. Adambro 22:35, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

I don't know how, I thought I did, same for Image:Antonio Sabato.jpg (that was removed from his page)... Help? Jerry Avenaim

Okay, I think I got it! But what about placing the images on the respective pages? Jerry Avenaim

Pardon the repetition... Do you think I'm going to let anyone use the images I've spent my life creating, just so anyone can use them at will? That makes no sense, I'm trying to contribute to the Wiki community where images are controlled. If my watermark doesn't splatter the image what would prevent another party from using the image? For instance, it is at a resolution good enough for a cell phone company to use it for wallpaper on a phone. What would prevent that? Help me to understand my images are still protected. Because if they're not, delete away. Jerry Avenaim 02:03, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Take further discussion of this to this deletion request. Cheers. :) Lewis Collard! (talk, contribs, en.wp) 03:01, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Deeee-livered

The deletion is all taken care of. I am (and everyone else following this is) very glad that you didn't go for the scorched earth option there; Commons really, really needs pros like you here. Also, I'm sorry if my tone in the deletion discussion was over-strident to start with. And, welcome aboard. :) Lewis Collard! (talk, contribs, en.wp) 18:46, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Oh and also, if you have any more questions about using Commons or anything else, I'm on the site a lot (rather too much, really), so don't hesitate to stop by my talk page with any queries. :) Lewis Collard! (talk, contribs, en.wp) 18:50, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

ALSO, sorry about forgetting to de-tag Image:Luke Wilson.jpg. My bad. :) Lewis Collard! (hai thar, wut u doin) 20:32, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Featured images

Hi, I'm sorry I didn't notify you when I nominated you Mark Harmon photo for Featured Image quality. Anyway, congratulations, on it being a Featured image. I saw that you have uploaded multiple images on to commons wich are of FI quality, with only the size being to small. If you want those to be FI's, maybe you should consider uploading some of those in a bigger size. Again, sorry and congratulations. Music2611 (talk) 13:37, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

New categories created

See Category:Jerry Avenaim and Category:Pictures by Jerry Avenaim. Feel free to place any new pictures by yourself that you add to this project in the 2nd category (and pictures of yourself in the first). Thank you for your contributions to Wikimedia Commons and your striking photography work, Cirt (talk) 06:44, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

Cheers

Just wanted to say it's a great thing that you're doing, sharing these images in this way. Far too many Wiki articles have truly sub-par photos of the people the article is about, simply because professional photographers and others who own copyright on the really good images don't want to share them in this way. (And, don't get me wrong, I completely understand why anyone would be reluctant to just put out their commercial work in a Creative Commons sort of way...) ... To be able to have Amber Tamblyn's article, for example, feature such a gorgeous image as this one, rather than having to rely on something that some random fan snapped with a point-and-shoot, like, just for example, something like this, is really wonderful. I am myself a total nobody, so I cannot say thank you on behalf of the Wiki or anything like that, but on behalf of myself, thank you very much. I hope that others follow in your footsteps.

Your account will be renamed

Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Jerry Avenaim. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Jerry Avenaim~commonswiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation
