Hi Scrinterlocked, EXIF data of this image state "Arunav Mukherjee" as the photographer, whereas you have written your username in the author entry. With File:Infrared image of Hibiscus taken in dark.jpg you have choosen just the opposite way. Please explain. --Túrelio (talk) 15:23, 1 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Response to clarification of recent uploads.[edit]

Hello there Túrelio,
This is written in response to your requested clarification on my recent uploads; [Cannabis Flower] and [image of Hibiscus taken in dark]. The author of the image in the description, and the author information embedded in the image EXIF data happens to be the same person. The author (myself) uses the username 'scrinterlocked' for all wikimedia uploads. If you however find this to be confusing, let me know so I could rectify it for consistency.

Thank you and have a very happy new year. -- Scrinterlocked (talk) 18:24, 1 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Scrinterlocked, with File:Infrared image of Hibiscus taken in dark.jpg you did actually not use "scrinterlocked" as author name. My problem is with that inconsistency. To be sure, nothing of this is against any policy. However, the difference between author name and uploader name always asks for permission. So, you can change the author name in the above mentioned image to your username, if you prefer that solution. If you prefer not to disclose the real-/username identity to the general public, you may sent a separate confirmation/permission statement (of author name and user name identity) to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org (OTRS), so that an OTRS volunteer can issue a so-called OTRS ticket, which will add authority to the authorship without disclosing anything else. --Túrelio (talk) 19:21, 1 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
