I happened to be glancing down the [[Wikipedia:Facebook]] when, to my great surprise, I found my own face.
It seems that [[User:Vizcarra]] borrowed the photo I made for [[Making a Face]], [[Image:MakingAFace.jpg]], cut out half of it and made [[Image: DavidVizcarra.jpg]], giving it the caption "My picture, taken by myself with the use of a webcam."
I'm not remotely mad, rather I think this is hillarious. Also rather flattering. What do you think would be the best way to broach the subject with him? ("Excuse me, but you look familiar. Are we related?")

Something like that, and I would change the copyright tag on the image too. To say edit of image x used with permission of original creator. Editing images on Wikipedia is fine. If someone is doing it to act like someone else, they need permission. - ~~~~

Just put a note on his user page (not talk page): I am Asbestos's long lost twin brother.

I have reverted, and left a note. The change was done in October 2005; the original image, which suited the caption you quote, was uploaded in July 2005.

Hey, that was my job! Now it looks like I've gone and ratted him out to the teachers... No matter, I've explained and put things right (hopefully).

I didn't mean to chide, I merely thought I had better keep my note short and to the point.
So long as you're OK, I'm OK with it.
