I reverted your picture of "a highly functional autistic teenager I know." The picture is inappropriate, too large, in the wrong place, and we only have your word that the person is actually autistic. Notwithstanding all of that, the picture adds nothing to the article. -- Cecropia 22:46, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

Okay, so tell me how to prove that he is autistic. Should I have him show up at your house and arrange all the items on the desktop of your computer? If it is too large I will crop it or shrink it. If it is in the wrong place then tell me WHERE is the right place. Otherwise HOW is it inappropriate? All of the other pictures on the page show small children with autism, why is it inappropriate to show a picture of a teenager?

I am moving this discussion to the Talk:Autism page so other contributors can add their comments and discuss this issue. Please see the discussion there. -- Thanks, Cecropia 02:49, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image source problem with Image:Autism.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Autism.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 18:57, 22 July 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

I'm afraid that "was taken by his father and I have his permission to use it" does not qualify as source information. Under U.S. copyright law, we would need written permission from his father, and probably from him as well. Eubulides 18:57, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
