Re: File:Sean Rowe Portrait.png

[edit]

Hello,

I noticed you uploaded File:Sean Rowe Portrait.png. Regarding its license, and source, it appears you have selected that you are the copyright owner of this image and it is your own work. On the church's website, it seems the site's footer says "© 2025 The Domestic and Foreign Missionary Society".

I just wanted some clarification and ask if you are the true copyright holder of this image that you have uploaded or if The Domestic and Foreign Missionary Society is. Nyxion303💬 Talk 19:03, 3 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, thank you for pointing this out. I have edited the file's page and description and added the source and correct copyright license.
