Hi. ) I got a bit distracted there; I wanted to see if I could find his books. He's allowed to upload a self-portrait (sometimes people claim studio pictures are self-portraits, but I bet this one really is), but ""used with permission"" is not going to cut it from a licensing standpoint. ) My guess would be that he's trying to address the licensing requirements set out at his talk page but doesn't understand them. What he needs is a friendly pointer to the proper process. Although he's unfortunately run afoul of WP:AUTOBIOGRAPHY, it seems that this gentleman is trying to do things the right way, and whether his article is determined to be notable or not (I have a not-very-strong opinion that it may be) we don't want him leaving Wikipedia unhappy with his experiences with us. 

Can you provide him with a better explanation of the licenses he can use and where to put them, or would you like me to?  (talk) "
