:Hi Jernej, welcome to Commons, and sorry to hear about the circumstances that led you here. We try very hard to catch copyright violations early, but there is a limited number of regularly active volunteers and thousands of uploads every day. Of course we want all our content to be correctly attributed to its rightful authors. Because Commons is a media repository based on the same philosophy as Wikipedia, we also want all the media files here to be usable by anyone for any purpose, just like the encyclopædia texts at Wikipedia can be used by anyone for any purpose. On Wikipedia, everyone who contributes has to agree to a license that makes this legally possible. Similarly, on Commons, we only host copyrighted content if the copyright holder agrees to publish the content under terms that allow anyone to use the content (in modified or unmodified form) for any purpose (including commercial purposes). A commonly used copyright license that makes this possible (and requires attribution) is the [http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/deed.en Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike 3.0 license]. Would you be willing to permanently release [[:File:Sanmarino6.jpg]] under this license? Would you extend this permission to the [http://shrani.si/f/o/6E/1dgjyMdP/3/22052010052.jpg full 3264×2448 resolution version] as well? Also, since there are now effectively two newly registered users claiming this previously published photo, it would be good if you could confirm on [http://forums.samsungi8910omnia.com/members/georgije.html your forum profile] that you are [[User:Jernej Gosar|Jernej Gosar]] here on Commons. Thanks! ''—[[User:LX|LX]] ([[User_talk:LX|talk]], [[Special:Contributions/LX|contribs]])'' 11:31, 29 March 2013 (UTC)

:Sure, that license looks ok, and i'd like to extend it to the full resolution as well. I updated the About me/Biography section of the forum profile, so you can see i'm really the same person. -Jernej
