I have had a notification from Wikimedia Commons about  an image I only uploaded to wikitree. Is this a glitch?

Images uploaded to WikiTree are not automatically uploaded to Wikimedia Commons. Without more information, it will be hard to figure out - but check out the details on the image at Wikimedia Commons and will tell you when it was uploaded, but whom, etc.

Thank you for confirming that Steven, someone must have used  my image on one their platforms. Good to know.
Would have been nice if the person had asked to use the image!
Probably a relative :-)

Anne, if copyright has been violated see

It's been deleted now Jim - thanks for the link.
Good to hear, Anne! Sounds as if the process is quick.
