Semi-protected edit request on 21 December 2024

Requesting to remove the photo of me because it is AI generated and I did not approve it. I am the person. If you would like to include a photo of me you may take one from my official website: www.timzhernandez.com 2603:8080:A401:6800:C8C6:38D8:5BE5:1C2E (talk) 13:00, 21 December 2024 (UTC)

Due to copyright policy, Wikipedia can only use freely licensed portraits at the top of articles about people still alive, see here. If you are Hernandez, you may insert a statement on your page that provides copyright permission for an image you took of yourself (such as "This image is licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0.") The image does not look AI generated, but I'll ping the uploader @Nv8200pa for comment. ObserveOwl 🎄 (talk) 13:20, 21 December 2024 (UTC)

@ObserveOwl The current image is not AI generated. It was created by me with a camera at the 2024 Texas Book Festival. Nv8200pa talk 14:05, 21 December 2024 (UTC)

Thanks, that's what I suspected given the image metadata. I was mostly wondering if you would object if the image was replaced by another of similar (or higher?) quality image in case the unregistered user is actually Hernandez and he freely licenses one of his self-portraits.

@ObserveOwl That would be great. I would not object at all. Regards. Nv8200pa talk 15:00, 21 December 2024 (UTC)

I am happy to provide you with an image of myself (from my website) and give you licensing permission to include it in place of the one that is currently up. Please instruct me how to send you the new image? Thank you, Tim ~2026-67729-5 (talk) 14:17, 31 January 2026 (UTC)

Thank you. To be clear, you can only give copyright permission for photographs taken by yourself (a selfie or self-portrait). If another person took it, you would have to get permission from them.

Can you provide a link to the image you would like to use, and specify who took the photograph? ObserveOwl (talk) 14:30, 31 January 2026 (UTC)

Yes, here is a self portrait i took. Please use this one, thank you. The link is: https://timzhernandez.com/media-gallery-2/#jp-carousel-164768 ~2026-81633-1 (talk) 04:48, 6 February 2026 (UTC)

Could you choose a photograph that shows the face more directly? In this one, you are looking to the side. ObserveOwl (talk) 08:35, 6 February 2026 (UTC)

No problem. Here's another self portrait:

Thank you, I have provided instructions here. ObserveOwl (talk) 17:59, 6 February 2026 (UTC)

His 2nd last name

The Z in Tim Z Hernandez stands for Zuniga which is his other last name 2601:201:8C02:94C0:C04E:64CB:FCA2:A0E7 (talk) 03:30, 3 June 2025 (UTC)

This is not true nor verified. Please delete this. 2603:8080:A4F0:1A70:F8EA:3644:ACF7:3116 (talk) 07:12, 7 September 2025 (UTC)

This is false. He only has one last name, Hernandez. The "Z" middle initial is strictly used as a pen name. ~2025-37299-02 (talk) 14:19, 30 November 2025 (UTC)

Correction needed

It says the "los gatos plane crash" happened near "Los Gatos, California" but this is inaccurate. It did not happen there, it happen in Los Gatos Canyon, in Fresno County, located in California's San Joaquin Valley. Please correct this. Thank you. ~2026-30614-06 (talk) 23:00, 21 May 2026 (UTC)
