::::That would indeed be pretty useful. But it's also such a simple idea that I'm highly doubtful that it hasn't been tried (and discarded) before. I'm no copyright expert, though, so I'll be happily proven wrong. --[[User:Conti|Conti]]|[[User talk:Conti|✉]] 22:55, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

I have a photo (of an insect) taken by a man in 80's. It is not feasible for him to send an email re copyright. He has signed a written copy of the permission for me to upload and specified that he is the owner and his copyright information with the recommended form. I have scanned the signed form and it is ready to upload. How and where should I upload this scanned file with his permission. I don't see a way to upload the scanned permission file at the same time I upload the photo. [[User:RMKerr17|RMKerr17]] ([[User talk:RMKerr17|talk]]) 23:12, 30 March 2013 (UTC)
