There seems to be a big crossover between this article and Michael Joseph Gross. For example, they've written for the same publications on similar subjects. I assume that this is coincidence, and that these are not the same person? Does anyone know for certain? Dybeck (talk) 11:49, 2 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I doubt it. "Michael Gross (writer) was the editor of the Fire Island News, a weekly newspaper in a New York summer colony, in 1978" when Michael Joseph Gross was 8 years old. (Heroeswithmetaphors) talk 15:15, 2 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

https://en.m.wiki.x.io/wiki/User:Heroeswithmetaphors is correct. But if I might add some amusement, magazines including Vanity Fair, which have published both of us, have also confused us. Mgross300 (talk) 14:13, 31 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

My name is Michael Gross. I am indeed not Michael Joseph Gross though we have sometimes written for the same magazines. My problem is that this entry has many factual errors in it and makes many statements that are terribly out of date, but granted all the notices atop the article, I do not think I should make so many substantive corrections, even though I can also cite trustworthy outside references for them. I would also be happy to upload a photo to which I own all usage rights, but do not know how. Can someone please let me know how to submit corrections? And a photograph? Mgross300 (talk) 17:54, 22 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Mgross300: If you have edits to make to this article, you should use the {{request edit}} template to request that someone else make them. If you have a picture of yourself, you should upload it to Wikimedia Commons. Jackmcbarn (talk) 02:05, 23 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

thanks will do asap. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mgross300 (talk • contribs) 02:49, 23 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

Thanks. Here are some fact corrections: I wrote a column for Crains New York Business from 2010 to 2012. Done I am no longer a columnist for Alexa Luxe Living, Done} though I still contribute to the New York Post. Is it worth noting that I have, at various times, been a columnist at all three surviving New York daily newspapers? I was a Contributing Editor of Travel & Leisure from 1997 until 2014. I am no longer. Done I no longer live at Alwyn Court. That apartment was sold in mid-2014. Done I just removed it. Posting what street you live on is creepy My sister Jane is a retired reporter for the New York Times, not a current one. She still contributes there. Done House of Outrageous Fortune was published in March 2014. I am now writing a book on fashion photography for Simon & Schuster's Atria Books. ^[1] Done Mgross300 (talk) 15:43, 23 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

None of the license tags I found in the help wiki fits the photo I would like to upload. It was taken by a professional photographer who gave me all rights for promotional and publicity purposes (in other words, it can be freely used as long as it carries a credit and a copyright notice). I worry that this is not an ideal Wikipedia image, but it is freely usable. Can it be uploaded?Mgross300 (talk) 15:52, 23 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Start at Help:Introduction to uploading images. I'm afraid copyright is an unpleasantly complicated field. It would be best to upload your image to Wikimedia Commons, which holds free images for all the Wikimedia projects. The Commons Upload Wizard is at Commons:Special:UploadWizard. The actual copyright holder (I'm not sure whether that's you, or whether you have just been given some rights) will probably need to send a permission email in the form given at Commons:COM:Email templates. "Wikipedia only" is not acceptable, re-use must be allowed. Note in particular that you have to allow re-use "in a commercial product" - that is often a sticking-point.

You will read in the help pages that in certain circumstances, Wikipedia can use non-free images, but that doesn't apply to pictures of living people, because one of the many conditions (WP:NFCC#1) is that "no free equivalent is available, or could be created".

You can get more advice at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. JohnCD (talk) 16:33, 23 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Mgross300. Often when a professional photographer does their thing, they give you the rights to use the image, but not actual ownership of the images copyrights. If you like, you can email me the text of your agreement with the photographer and I can provide better direction from there. CorporateM (Talk) 20:47, 18 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
