Author is Saurabh Rahurkar, not the same as the uploader, I doubt the claim of own work of this photo A1Cafel (talk) 10:18, 18 October 2024 (UTC)

That is me. Cave Johnson is not a real person, they are a character from a video game. Most people don't use their full names as their wikipedia username. For instance I am sure A1Cafel is not the real name of the person who is raising doubts

Happy to provide raw files if that will convince the doubters. Cave Johnson (talk) 18:11, 18 October 2024 (UTC)

@Cave Johnson: You can submit a prove of identity to VRT--A1Cafel (talk) 10:45, 19 October 2024 (UTC)

Please provide instructions on how to do so. The page you linked talks about emailing and the raw file is much too large for emailing.

I also need to know that this interaction will be deleted after that verification since I don't want my irl life identity associated here.

I would also like to know who you are and what your role with Wikipedia/Wikimedia commons is before I engage in this laborious exercise. Your user page offers no information on your credibility to make these requests although they do state your preferences on keeping your real life unmolested. Clearly, you seem to think it's OK to maintain your "real life" separate from Wikipedia life yet seem to not afford the same consideration to other users. Again, while I can easily provide the RAW, I am indignant at this overstepping and casual accusation of stealing work when based on the licensing settings, this issue could be easily addressed by adding an attribution. Not to mention, editing EXiF information is a trivial task. If a person—myself included—wanted to pass off another person's work as their own, it is absurdly easy to either scrub the EXIF data or to edit it to change the author. This series of accusations could easily continue on and on, and a person could easily raise doubts on the provenance of the RAW files since anybody can change the author name in the meta data/exif.

•  Keep. I think we can assume good faith here. All EXIF by uploader matches, including other uploads and file description details which would not likely be available if the image was stolen. IronGargoyle (talk) 12:20, 25 October 2024 (UTC)
