Line drawing of the Jewish Museum New York
I would like to use this drawing as a tribute to architects and an image on my web site. We do not suggest we have any involvement in the project - again only to pay tribute and acknowledge such.

Ticket #2013060510012068
Hello OTRS volunteers, could someone please investigate further ticket:2013060510012068? This covers several files (e.g. File:Cirrus Aircraft Perspective Panel.jpg) that are marked "own work" but are unlikely to be from one photographer only (all of the uploads by the user are corporate-issued files). Specifically, I wonder:
- What kind of evidence/testimony is provided in the e-mail?
- What is the relationship of the uploader to the company? I fear that s/he may just have access to interesting media files without having authority/permission to release those files under free license.
I hope someone can bring insight to this issue. Thank you, Ariadacapo (talk) 08:12, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
- I acknowledge that the permission is correct and that the user is authorised to upload these images, together with any other file she should wish to upload. The user also has the authority to choose the license. Savhñ 14:07, 5 January 2014 (UTC)

Trying to reload an image that was deleted from an article
The only way I found out that my image had been deleted was when someone else deleted the reference from my article. I have been trying to replace the diagram as I assumed that WP had somehow lost it, but I get a message that says that I am not allowed to reupload it - even when I changed the name!
I finally tracked down the history of the image in the Commons upload log (which BTW is not included in my regular watchlist!). The image in question is simply an update of an older image - both the old and new ones were created by me and made freely available to Commons by me, with appropriate permissions. An earlier version of this diagram was on Wikipedia years ago (when Commons either didn't exist, or I wasn't aware of it), as were other diagrams for the same article, which have never given me any problems!
The Commons upload log file shows entries for both the old and new versions of the diagram in question, as follows:
(new diagram)
20:59, 8 December 2013 Jpaulm (talk | contribs) uploaded "File:FBP - Simple network.png" ({{Uploaded with en.wp UW marker|year=2014|month=01|day=05}} {{Information |Description = {{en|This shows a simple 3 block FBP diagram, with connections labeled}} |Source = Using diagramming tool DrawFBP<br/> '''Previously published:''' An older version is on Wikipedia,...) .
(older diagram)
17:51, 23 July 2012 Jpaulm (talk | contribs) uploaded "File:FBP representation of 3 function calls.png" ({{Uploaded with en.wp UW marker|year=2014|month=01|day=05}} {{Information |Description = {{en|Shows 3 function calls in FBP format}} |Source = By hand, using early version of DrawFBP<br/> '''Previously published:''' In jpg format in same article |Date = 2006-07-12 |Auth...) .
I can only assume that this confusion arises in some way from the transfer of images from Wikipedia to Commons - but as far as I know the 23 July 2012 entry did not result in a deletion...
Help would be appreciated as soon as possible, as the article Flow-based programming doesn't make much sense at this time!
BTW I put a query on the Commons:Upload help - https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Commons:Upload_help&oldid=113296782 , but this seems to be the more official location, and I have more info now! Sorry for double posting! TIA Jpaulm (talk) 18:21, 5 January 2014 (UTC)

Ticket check/search
Would it be possible for someone to check to see if there's an OTRS ticket for some shots? I know I got permission from Luke Ford for the shots he took and posted on his then-sites, and that got archived in the OTRS system as ticket:2007111210016632. Luke also had a number of shots taken by Mike South on his website, which were not covered by the permission statement. I traded emails with Mike and managed to get a permission statement from him releasing his shots - there's a summary of it on EN here. Did that permission from Mike South ever get properly placed into the OTRS system?? Tabercil (talk) 04:14, 10 January 2014 (UTC)

#2014011110003831
Hello,
I'm leaving a note on the OTRS noticeboard following instructions for the image that I've uploaded. I've emailed with Stephen Culbrick and provided a permission from the copyright holder for this image. That's the image that I've uploaded: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Diane_Gaidry.jpg
Is this image all set now, can I remove the OTRS warning code line from the wikipedia page where this image is used?
Thank you,
user: indigo7771975
- Everything seems in order. I removed the OTRS-pending template from the article for you. That template isnot supposed to be used in the article itself. The permissionOTRS-template used here, at commons on the file's page has to stay of course. Natuur12 (talk) 14:22, 13 January 2014 (UTC)

deleted photographs with open common copyright use + URLs to deleted files
I have several photographs that are clear for common use however I uploaded them previously and did not understand what kind of specific document(s) you are requiring to prove this. Most of the photos I took myself with one exception where I have verbal agreement to use. You have already deleted the jpegs from the W Commons and I am unable to override your system to re-upload (as you suggest to do); I continue to get the same error message that the file has been deleted because there is not enough 'proof' that the copyright is common. Please let me know how to remedy this. I have examined all of the pages where you discuss this and I cannot make sense out of what you are asking for. Can you please tell me how I can: 1) override your system and re-upload the jpegs that were deleted; 2) provide the exact documentation that you require. 3) get the photos back up and connected to a live page.
Thank you in advance, Vaaltje
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Vaaltje#File_tagging_File:Randall_Schmit_2012.jpg
— Preceding unsigned comment added by Vaaltje (talk • contribs) 18:37, 16 January 2014 (UTC)
- I will be happy to help. Both files were deleted for "lack of permission". As the template says: "A source is given, but there is no proof that the author or copyright holder agreed to license the file under the given license." More specifically File:Randall_Schmit_2012.jpg was deleted since you filled "public domain snapshot" for the source and the author. We were hoping for a specific PD license which matches one of the few exceptions from the default assumption that very few images you find on the web are copyright free. You can use Commons:Hirtle chart to navigate US license templates, you can also provide photographs you took. In case of File:Randall SCHMIT, The Visitation, 1988.jpg, Randall Schmit is the copyright owner, and the only way the image can be uploaded is if he writes to OTRS and spells out the license information, see com:OTRS for details. Also in case you are Randall Schmit or know how to contact him you can request an image of him that he holds the copyrights to. Than we can use that image provided that there was and email to OTRS. I hope this helps, I know our copyright requirements can be a very steep learning curve. --Jarekt (talk) 19:36, 16 January 2014 (UTC)

Person is asking a picture of him to be deleted
I got a ticket to info-fi query, where one person (Finnish musician) wants that picture of him should be deleted. He contacted last August to a person, who uploaded the picture to Commons, but nothing happened. It's not about copyrights, but the person who is in that picture doesn't like it, and he doesn't want that it's publicly shared. He also told that normally photographers are asking if it's ok to take pictures, or ask after if they can share them, but in this case this never happened. What's normal procedure of this kind of requests? For the record: picture is not even in use. If you have any questions, I'm here to answer. --Stryn (talk) 18:50, 27 January 2014 (UTC)
- If the musician is notable, then their request should be balanced against the public interest, probably going via a Deletion Request. However...
- If they are not notable (perhaps as tested by whether they have a Wikipedia biography in any language) then a courtesy speedy deletion for being out of scope is reasonable without needing a big public discussion in a DR.
- Freedom of Panorama in Finland is limited to buildings, from your description this photo may be deleted as a copyright problem and a privacy problem if taken in Finland. This could be done via a speedy rather than a DR.

Ticket#20140103 10008101
Hi, may someone have a deeper look onto this.
I've uploaded the files 01JAN14. Permission was mailed the same day by the photographer, who got a reply 03JAN14 requiring more information - he forwarded this to me 05JAN14 and I replied with extra information to permissions 06JAN14.
As no reaction I've sent a reminder 18JAN14 to permissions. However, so far no answer.
As the backlog is "only" 15 days, I'm wondering if I missed something.
Thanks for any elucidation --Jwh (talk) 20:57, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
- I'm inclined to accept ticket:2014010310008101, but I'd like to wait for a day or two for the agent who rejected to explain. whym (talk) 05:53, 2 February 2014 (UTC)

File:Yoshiki OfficialPhoto GGTheme.jpg
Could someone please check the details on this photo? According to the file description, the author is "Unknowns" [sic], which seems strange, as the stated license requires attribution of the author. Who gave the supposed licensing permission? If they're not the author and they don't know who the author is, how did they acquire the copyright? And if we look at the metdata, the author isn't unknown at all: it's Jason Merritt/Getty Images. Getty Images usually don't publish their content under free licenses, so this seems fishy to say the least. —LX (talk, contribs) 11:46, 14 February 2014 (UTC)
- Looking at the ticket, the copyright release was not made by the photographer themselves, but by someone with an official email address from an agency. The agent who dealt with the ticket accepted they were not the photographer, but they held the rights to the photo. I have emailed Getty Images to see if they are able to clarify any furthur. --Mdann52talk to me! 13:37, 14 February 2014 (UTC)
- It looks like it came from the subject's management company, rather than anyone who has any connection to the photographer. The fact that it's a Getty image is, I would suggest, reason enough to delete it unless the ticket was from Getty (which is about as likely as pigs mastering spaceflight). I'm going t delete it, but I'll restore it in the (imo unlikely) event that we get somewhere with the ticket. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 18:44, 14 February 2014 (UTC)
- Comment I agree with the deletion, but in a case like this we should create a DR, which can be closed immediately, to keep a record of this discussion. Regards, Yann (talk) 19:49, 14 February 2014 (UTC)
- Thank you! In order to avoid similarly needless and serious mistakes in the future, please remind your fellow OTRS volunteers in general and the involved volunteer(s) in particular (1) to examine and consider metadata when evaluating files and their permissions, (2) that if the self-proclaimed copyright holder doesn't know who the author is, they're probably not the copyright holder.

Ticket 2014012710012079
ticket:2014012710012079 claims that a Featured Image was not the property of the uploader. Please have a quick look. Thanks Guy 20:54, 27 January 2014 (UTC)
- Initially I had deleted, but: Can another agent confirm the validity of the ticket? Image: File:Pacific Black Duck jun08.jpg --Alan (talk) 07:17, 28 January 2014 (UTC)
- My initial reaction is to doubt the claim. The uploader in question is a prolific photographer (who has since retired) with tons of Featured Pictures to his name. If the ticket includes a link to the claimant's original, we can also check web.archive.org and other sources to confirm, as well as compare the two images in a photo editor. —howcheng {chat} 18:09, 28 January 2014 (UTC)
- My feeling this is a troll (I've had it happen in the past). Dead give away is that there is no EXIF data, resolution is the same, folder the photo is in is meaningless (I could do the same by saving the file in a folder such as C:/somefolderwithmyrealname/forum photos/) and doesn't support their copyright ownership, the date of the file shows 28 January 2014 (the photo was uploaded on Commons in 2009). The DR is totally unnecessary and a waste of time, especially when OTRS volunteers can only view the false allegation. Bidgee (talk) 23:24, 28 January 2014 (UTC)

- And how on earth was it "credible"? It is far from being credible, fact that they will not give a URL link to the page it was posted on the forum and try and mislead OTRS by using screenshots don't support their claim. I'd be more willing to support a "credible" claim if they gave a link that shows a date before it uploaded here or if they have a RAW file, in this case, I see nothing to support it.

ticket #2011042610001163 Andy Warhol image
Would it be possible to use the Andy Warhol image for editorial print publication which will be promoting Andy Warhol's photography — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.31.242.76 (talk • contribs) 20:43, 3 February 2014 (UTC)
- Hi 66.31.242.76! No one here will be able to provide legal advice on whether a particular use of a photo is legal. If you need that kind of advice, you need to talk to a lawyer. The volunteers with access to the permission archive that respond to questions on this page can only comment on whether the permission archive contains enough information to confirm that the copyright holder has approved publication under the copyright license shown on the file description page. As Commons:Reusing content outside Wikimedia explains, there may be other legal restrictions on how you can use it that are not related to copyright. For example, because of personality rights, using File:Andy Warhol by Jack Mitchell.jpg for promotional purposes may be problematic. But again, that's probably something you need to ask a lawyer about. Cheers, —LX (talk, contribs) 21:41, 3 February 2014 (UTC)
- The release allows for commercial reuse, so the answer is yes, so long as you give the required attribution. With regard to personality rights, if your publication is respectful of (the estate of) Warhol and not using Warhol's image in a way that appears to endorse a product, this is highly unlikely to be a concern; as LX says ask your lawyer or publisher or editor. --Fæ (talk) 21:54, 3 February 2014 (UTC)
- Also, the laws governing personality rights and, in countries where they apply, the moral rights of the original author/creator, vary from country to country. When in doubt, check with a lawyer. Davidwr (talk) 18:27, 4 February 2014 (UTC)

Steven Spielberg Image Permission from OTRS?
I would like permission to use this image:Steven_Spielberg_Cannes_2013_2.jpg (648 × 567 pixels, file size: 81 KB, MIME type: image/jpeg)
I see the required attribution, but it is part of the OTRS system, so I want to be sure I can use by attributing "Georges Biard." Does it require mention of OTRS?
This is for a regional newspaper website.
Thank you. Please email me, if you can.
Oliver Peterson ([email protected])
- Oliver, The attribution string does not need to mention OTRS. OTRS is only a link to a database of email confirmations we keep around. The best way to get attribution string would be to click on the globe icon with "Use this file" string and it will present you several forms of attribution string to choose from. Either way the attribution should mention "Georges Biard" and CC-BY-SA-3.0. See also COM:REUSE or Commons:Credit line. And if you use it in a newspaper website drop a line in File talk:Steven Spielberg Cannes 2013 2.jpg with a link. Not required in any way but a nice thing to do. --Jarekt (talk) 19:12, 6 February 2014 (UTC)

File:Patrick Meek portrait.jpg
Is there anything information in OTRS to distinguish this case from #File:Yoshiki OfficialPhoto GGTheme.jpg above (permalink)? The first part of "Photographer unknown, image owned by Patrick Meek" is untrue, as the metadata clearly states "Photo by Harry How/Getty Images", and the second part is highly improbable. Again, people who don't know who the photographer is probably don't hold the copyright, and Getty Images usually don't publish their content under free licenses. —LX (talk, contribs) 09:08, 16 February 2014 (UTC)
- release was in an email forwarded from the subject, not photographer. These images also feature on his website, but he doesn't mention Getty anywhere in the ticket. --Mdann52talk to me! 10:23, 16 February 2014 (UTC)
- He does claim that he owns the rights (the Wikimedian who contacted him suggested photos taken by a friend and given to the subject), but the metadata actually names the photographer (ie it doesn't look like Getty have just found it somewhere and claimed it as their own) and contains quite a detailed description. Thus, I'm very sceptical of the claim that he owns the rights; I'm going to delete it. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 11:21, 16 February 2014 (UTC)

BBC voice project
What source files are covered by the ticket and under which license are the program snippets usable? Is the permission just availabe at OTRS or do they have a statement somewhere on their website? If there's just one ticket and one license I suggest to add both to Template:BBC voice project. --Denniss (talk) 16:12, 22 January 2014 (UTC)
- There is a (long) list of files covered which has been added to by additional emails from the same person (from a valid BBC email address). The statement is only on OTRS. The statement given is "I am authorised to and hereby do release them under the Creative Commons "Attribution 3.0 Unported" licence."
- If the BBC voice project has a consensus to use the same OTRS ticket for future approvals, then adding ticket:2013111310011767 to the template would seem reasonable. However we would still need all releases to be listed on OTRS as this is not a situation where there is a publicly named agent, or a release elsewhere to validate against. --Fæ (talk) 17:13, 22 January 2014 (UTC)

- Hi, the ticket covers the release of the text and the images of http://art.thewalters.org/ from 17 February 2012. The permission you refer to was the result of the cooperation of this GLAM project with the Walters Art Museum. As elaborated by the {{Walters Art Museum license}}, the artworks itself are in the public domain. Photographic reproductions of two-dimensional objects are not eligible for copyright, see COM:PDART. Hence we needed the release just for the photographs of three-dimensional objects (like this, for example). --AFBorchert (talk) 06:21, 7 February 2014 (UTC)

The problem of a book of a dead press
I'd like to paste up a book, Ecodefense, on English Wikisource, as well as my translation (CC-BY-SA and GFDL) on other Wikisource.
The text and illustration source of the book is here.
The copyright holder of the last edition of Ecodefense is Abbzug Press. Abbzug Press no longer exists after its publication without any heritors, the 70-year restriction is not available because it is not a natural person. And thus Ecodefense is a Creative Commons book. Is that OK to upload? Or, what kind of further documents should I offer? My mail to permissions-commons [AT] wikimedia.org have not been replied.

I'm concerned because, even if the user is the article subject, I suspect that the copyright is held by a record company and not them personally. It is in use on a biography on enwiki, and if it's not CC, it wouldn't be acceptable as fair-use.

File:Distant_L_tower_at_dusk,_2014_02_16_(8).jpg and Ticket 2012092210003274
The image File:Distant_L_tower_at_dusk,_2014_02_16_(8).jpg references OTRS ticket # 2012092210003274, which is two years before the upload date of this image. I think the reference to the OTRS ticket is accidental, as a very similar image uploaded at the same time makes no mention of this ticket, and it seems unrelated to the image. If someone with OTRS access can confirm that Ticket 2012092210003274 has no relevance to File:Distant_L_tower_at_dusk,_2014_02_16_(8).jpg, I'll fix the image summary and licensing based on it's Flickr source. —RP88 09:48, 20 February 2014 (UTC)

File:150years-Austrian-stamps.jpg - some users removed or changed the license on this image. Please verify the license information given in ticket and the validity of this OTRS ticket in general. --Denniss (talk) 09:13, 14 February 2014 (UTC)
- Moved here from "Commons talk:OTRS" page
Can someone please check the ticket on File:150years-Austrian-stamps.jpg? An editor removed the cc-de tag, which seems proper, but no other tag was ever added. I nominated it for deletion here because Austrian stamps are copyright for 70 years pma. User:ChristianBier closed the nomination as a keep pointing to the OTRS ticket but I doubt the ticket was ever actually checked. Did the person even have authority to licence the stamp and if so under what licence? Thanks. Ww2censor (talk) 09:31, 14 February 2014 (UTC)
- This need a German speaker to do it justice, but the gist of it (using machine translation) is that a Wikipedian has forwarded an email chain in which they discuss the image with somebody they believe is the copyright holder (I can't verify that, but I can't disprove it). But there are two problems I can see: the only license explicitly mentioned is CC-By-NC, and this person says they only own the copyright to two of the four stamps. I'd prefer to wait for a German speaker to check, just in case I've missed something subtle, but it would seem to me the image is problematic for Commons. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 18:40, 14 February 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks HJ, as i already stated in the deletion nomination, Commons:Deletion requests/File:150years-Austrian-stamps.jpg, these stamps are copyright for 70 years pma. I highly doubt the stamps, even only two of them, were released by the true copyright holder. It very seldom happens. Ww2censor (talk) 20:57, 14 February 2014 (UTC)
- Well, even if it the two covered by the ticket are legit, the other two aren't, so I've deleted the file. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 12:11, 16 February 2014 (UTC)

- At first, what you see as CC-BY-NC is a frequent machine translation mistake. The ticket undoubtly mentions CC-BY-SA-3.0-DE.
- As far as I can see, the ticket is valid for the shown artwork and the stamp composition. --Krd 19:18, 23 February 2014 (UTC)

ticket:2014011710008718
Could someone please double-check this ticket? The ticket purports the image to be the authorship of the subject, which cannot be true because she appears in the photo. (There's a even a default reply template in the OTRS system rejecting this type of permission!) Secondly, the email address purporting to belong to the actress is a gmail domain, which can be created by anyone. Most importantly, though, the related ticket 201401141001332 is from the same address(es) and attempts to assert permission on the same fallacy (subject = copyright holder) but with images that appear on numerous websites and are obviously of professional origin and from different photographers. This suggests the person submitting the ticket and the person attempting to assert permission, at best, do not understand the distinction between physical property rights and intellectual property rights. This seems an invalid ticket. Эlcobbola talk 16:12, 27 January 2014 (UTC)

A lot of photographs are deleted on account of not permission received. For this one, on the contrary, I sent several times the message and confirmation of the permission from the Cohérie Boris Vian together with the photograph attached to it. Can you juste explain WHERE to send again the said message, and HOW to restore the photograph in a way that it will not be deleted again. I must again (and again again) precise that there is NO AUTHOR for the photograph because it has been made by a MACHINE called PHOTOMATON in France.

Dear all,
Regarding this file and all those under the same category (except one), a permission email has been sent by Nizar Chaari, owner of these documents, to the [email protected] address back in mid-February and it still has not been acknowledged as of today.

To OTRS agents: just a reminder that Commons has a queue that is not specific for permissions: [email protected].

The restriction "Any usage of the image outside Wiki needs to be approved by and licensed through epa – European pressphoto agency b.v. (www.epa.eu)" is obviously contradictory to the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike license and incompatible with Commons' licensing requirements. Was this addressed when handling the OTRS ticket? If yes, why was it not removed from the file description page?

OTRS Ticket#2014042810014686
Without compromising anyone's personal data, can someone please explain to me how the above ticket led to the deletion of several files uploaded to geograph? I had already figured out that the reason was because someone else other than the geograph uploader is claiming to be the copyright holder, but given that the images were obviously scans of old pictures, I wanted to know how that was verified by Commons (or indeed, if it was just taken on trust). I asked the deleting admin Steinsplitter (talk · contribs), but he refuses to explain anything to me at all, in the apparent belief that saying anything at all about this would be a violation of privacy, which is obviously complete and utter nonsense. Ultra7 (talk) 21:14, 30 April 2014 (UTC)
- I revised the ticket and can confirm that the decision was reasonable. Anything more has to be hidden because of WMF privacy policy. Ankry (talk) 22:01, 30 April 2014 (UTC)
- And which part of the privacy policy says that you can't tell me how you came to that decision? This is frankly ridiculous - it wouldn't violate anyone's privacy WHATSOEVER to tell me how this decision was arrived at. I don't want ANY PERSONAL DATA AT ALL. I can't say it any clearer than that. But I do want to know what happened here, what specific events occurred that resulted in these images being lost to Commons, and by extension, anyone else who was using them. That's all I want to know - if you can't tell me that, then why shouldn't I assume that no attempt at all was made to verify any claim that they were being hosted here illegitimately? Why shouldn't I assume that these images haven't just been deleted because someone just asked you to in an email, and in reality you have no idea what their motive might have been. It's not unheard of for people to abuse such reporting systems for revenge or to further a feud (such as between Geograph users), or to increase the value of their images (by removing free alternatives). These were after all, historical images. They cannot be reproduced. Ultra7 (talk) 22:25, 30 April 2014 (UTC)
Steinsplitter is now trying to close this as resolved, calling me a troll in the process. This is totally and utterly unacceptable. I will not tolerate being called a troll for asking what are very simple questions - the answers to which are very clearly not covered by the privacy policy. I will contact the WMF directly if I do not get a proper answer here - it is after all their policy that you are claiming to be enforcing. Ultra7 (talk) 22:36, 30 April 2014 (UTC)
- There is no more information that can be given. The images were the victim of License laundering and therefore we do not have the correct original copyright information and we cannot host images that we do not have appropriate copyright information for. That is all that there is to know. You've been told this multiple times. There are no more specific details aside from multiple OTRS volunteers have looked over the ticket. I can say that this was handled appropriately. Cheers, TLSuda (talk) 02:36, 2 May 2014 (UTC)

- I presume there is must be something wrong because email has come from X & X claimed himself/herself as copyright holder.

That's why I ping @Clarkcj12: . ~ Nahid Talk 10:35, 5 May 2014 (UTC)
The right to the image (together with the original image files) were originally given to Anatoly Sukhorukov, when he was photographed.

Can anyone check to make sure the permission is in the OTRS queue? TeleComNasSprVen (talk) 09:36, 28 March 2014 (UTC)
- On 4 April 2014 I have sent a mail to [email protected] with subject "Copyright pictures ANS Roma". The attachment of that mail is an email written in Italian by the legal representative of ANS, Jean Paul Muller, giving me the authorization to publish their pictures under the license CC-BY-3.0. For safety I have cited that mail on my homepage here in wikimedia commons. So I kindly ask you to undelete the files File:Ángel Fernández Artime.jpg and File:Francesco Cereda.jpg - Hatzfeld (talk) 16:37, 24 April 2014 (UTC)
- For the moment a temporary undelete with the note "OTRS pending" would be enough, until my mails to [email protected] will have been read by someone. - --Hatzfeld (talk) 09:00, 25 April 2014 (UTC)
- Got the ticket number. I now will try to get a more explicit permission although I think that the first one was clear enough ... --Hatzfeld (talk) 15:19, 15 May 2014 (UTC)
Photographs from davecskatingphoto.com
Hello! Is it possible to upload one of these pictures from davecskatingphoto.com with OTRS ticket number 2008012510003504 (like in Category:Photographs from davecskatingphoto.com)? Thank you very much, --Delfort (talk) 07:15, 22 January 2014 (UTC)
- @Delfort: no. That ticket does not give an explicit release under any licence - it is just a "use my files on Wikipedia" type request. As I am not too familiar with policy here, can you let me know where these should be listed? Thanks, --Mdann52talk to me! 22:22, 21 March 2014 (UTC)

Wiki Artikel Walter Maier-Kößler Ticket:2014031810011164
Ticket 2014031810011164 Löschung von File: Ruinenlandschaft.jpg und von File: Schiffe.Ölbild.jpg Freigabe der Bilder: File:Ruinenlandschaft.jpg File:Schiffe.Ölbild.jpg File: Porträt von Walter Maier-Kößler.jpg File: Petrefakt.jpg File: Gustav Kittler.jpg File: Aphrodite, Druckgrafik.jpg
Hallo Wikimedia-Support-Team, Am 15.2. habe ich die oben bezeichneten Bilddateien hochgeladen und am 22.2 ein Mail um Erteilung der Bildrechte geschickt, allerdings keine automatische Antwort und auch keine Ticket-Nr. erhalten.
Am 18.3. habe ich diese Mail mit den Bildrechteerklärungen nochmals losgeschickt und die oben angegebene Ticket-Nr. bekommen, worauf ich den Vermerk {{subst:0P}} im Artikel eingefügt habe. Am selben Tag wurde für die Bilder Ruinenlandschaft.jpg und Schiffe.Ölbild.jpg ein Schnell-Löschantrag gestellt, der am 24.3. vollzogen wurde (Löscher: Fastily)
Ich möchte Sie bitten, den Antrag auf Freischaltung zu überprüfen und die gelöschten Bilder baldmöglichst wieder herzustellen. Ich habe OTRS eine Erklärung als Autor (Fotograf)geschickt, eine als Erbe der Bildrechte meines Vaters und die Mail der Städtischen Museen Heilbronn, aus der hervorgeht, dass die Besitzer (Städtische Museen Heilbronn) mit der Veröffentlichung der Bild-Dateien auf Wikipedia einverstanden sind, ebenso eine Einverständniserklärung der Besitzerin des Bildes: Schiffe.Ölbild.jpg. Falls diese Nachweise nicht genügen, bitte ich mir mitzuteilen, welche Nachweise Sie außerdem benötigen.

Confirm 2012120110006287
Ticket 2012120110006287 is used for the following twenty images which, as far as I can tell from the image description pages, were uploaded months or years after the date of the ticket. Could an OTRS volunteer please confirm that the ticket really does apply to them?
Thanks in advance! —Psychonaut (talk) 20:15, 26 April 2014 (UTC)
- I have checked the above files, and marked them according whether they appear in the ticket or not. However, I have to say, that the ticket looks a bit contradictory. The uploader, who ask kormany.hu for permission, states that he wants to upload the images under the {{Cc-by-sa-2.5}} license, but in his next sentence says that they will be only used to illustrate the articles and they won't be used for commercial purposeses (effectively changing them to a non-commercial license.) Kormany.hu agrees to the use of the pictures under this conditions. User:Armbrust (Local talk - en.Wikipedia talk) 13:20, 27 April 2014 (UTC)
- Thank you. In light of the issues you discovered I have raised a deletion request for all images tied to this ticket at Commons:Deletion requests/2012120110006287. —Psychonaut (talk) 15:22, 28 April 2014 (UTC)

Hi. Some time ago this picture was deleted due to lack of permission. It turns out that the owner had forgot to send a confirmation to OTRS. She has now promised to fix that.

Confirm 2010052110030211
Ticket 2010052110030211 is used for the following 73 images. Many or most of them were uploaded months or years after the date of the ticket, and by a different user than the one who originally used the ticket. Could an OTRS volunteer please confirm which of the images are covered by the ticket, and also confirm that the grant of permission is compatible with Commons licensing?
Thanks! —Psychonaut (talk) 14:08, 1 May 2014 (UTC)
- There are two problems with the ticket. (1) It doesn't come from the political parties themselves, but contains rather forwarded messages (probably) by the uploader. Therefore the sending e-mail doesn't conform to Commons:Email templates/Consent. (2) The MSZP's answer also gives a "use on Wikipedia only" stipulation. (It says "Wikipédián való való felhasználásra képein [...] rendelkezésére állnak" (sic)). I have no idea, why this was ever approved. User:Armbrust (Local talk - en.Wikipedia talk) 22:19, 1 May 2014 (UTC)
- PS.: The latter images were probably uploaded originally to hu.Wikipedia, and were transferred later to Commons. User:Armbrust (Local talk - en.Wikipedia talk) 22:23, 1 May 2014 (UTC)

Russell Targ photo
This is about File:Russell Targ, physicist.jpg, referencing OTRS ticket 2014051110039608.
Per en.wp discussion here, the photographer, Patricia Targ, has now apparently emailed permission/release for the photo.
Can someone update the OTRS ticket and/or let Professor Josephson (en:User:Brian Josephson) know if any further info is needed?
Thanks, 70.36.142.114 07:11, 13 May 2014 (UTC)
- @70.36.142.114: We've received an email from the photographer Patricia Targ with Wikipedia only permission. I replied & explained it with a reply. If you are the photographer then please check your email and follow the instruction, if not please tell Patricia Targ to do so. Thank you. ~ Nahid Talk 09:20, 13 May 2014 (UTC)
- Hi, Patricia Targ (Russell Targ's wife) is the photographer; I'm just trying to help a new editor (Prof. Josephson) get the permissions straightened out since he's been editing the article about Russell Targ. In the file it looks like things are ok now, so presumably Patricia sent a satisfactory response. Thanks for the help. 70.36.142.114 05:26, 14 May 2014 (UTC)

Need help from Hebrew speaker/reader/translator
Part of the email in Ticket:2014051010009044 is in Hebrew. I need to verify that the information is enough for permission. Could someone who speaks/reads/writes Hebrew look into this and let me know? Or take the ticket over and process it? Cheers, TLSuda (talk) 21:27, 20 May 2014 (UTC)
- It's enough for permission. The relevant section is section 2, that means:
- "About the books rights - They are yours, without charge (the wish of Israel Carmel)."

permission to use images (ticket #2013061010006654)
Hello,
I would like to use 3 images that I found on Wikimedia Commons, created by Blausen Medical Communications.
The ticket number for all images is #2013061010006654.
These images will be used in e-learning training materials for healthcare workers in Tanzania. The materials will not be sold and no profit will be made from these materials - the usage is strictly educational. I do not understand the permission request process for using these images. Could someone explain how I obtain documented permission?
Images that we would like to use for this project are: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Blausen_0015_AllergicRhinitis.png http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Blausen_0390_EyeAnatomy_Sectional.png http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Blausen_0389_EyeAnatomy_02.png
Many thanks.

- Hi everyone! I am the owner of the ticket, part of which is in English, and part in Italian. I don't speak Italian, so I had to have that part translated. There is a release from the author for those covers (that part is in English), there is a second document, from the publishing company (who I thought would own the rights to the cover) that states that the author owns the copyright to the cover. Like I said, I had to translate the document, but it look like sufficient enough for me. Cheers, TLSuda (talk) 20:28, 21 May 2014 (UTC)

File:Agios Porphyrios.jpg
Hi there,
about the entitled picture, I wish to know if you received an email ? Address should be imx at otenet.gr. They have been informed about the OTRS request and replied to the sender they accept. However the page COM:OTRS is totally unclear and incomprehensible about the procedure to follow. They sent back a high definition of the picture and agreed a publication under PD. They will probably be unable to send an email to [email protected] and I want to know how to proceed. I don't speak greek, so I cannot write them directly. Thank you very much in advance.

Hi OTRS volunteers. I was hoping someone could check 2014041110009348. It is currently applied to File:Alfonso Bayard1.jpg, and I am wondering whether it applies to File:Alfonso Bayard2.jpg as well? I had originally tagged File:Alfonso Bayard2.jpg as a {{Copyvio}} as it's a screencap from about 1:30 of the video on this page, but checking the uploader's contributions, I saw the OTRS tag on File:Alfonso Bayard1.jpg, which is from the same video.

File:Yohan Goutt Goncalves.jpg
I don't know, what happen again here. The email was sent on 7th January by Yohan Goutt Goncalves with the photo to [email protected]. Later he answered an email asking, who is the photograph, that it was his mother. There was no further request anymore for another confirmation. So why was the file deleted?

- I got the image from YGG directly. If you have the image in a lower resolution, you can replace the other one? Maybe YGG sent the lower res image in his second mail to Commons and didn't look for resolution. The license, I chose is the one wih gives lowest rights to others. That is what I told YGG, when I talked to him. By the way: He asked me, why the image was away from Wikipedia. I don't think there would be any protest because of the resolution. --Patrick (talk) 15:39, 27 April 2014 (UTC)
I don't think, it is very helpful to delete the ticket number at the image, instead of changing the image to the other one. I do not have access to the mail to commons, I just have the image from YGG directly. --Patrick (talk) 15:48, 27 April 2014 (UTC)
By the way: Did you took attention of ALL eMails, including them of January? --Patrick (talk) 19:19, 2 May 2014 (UTC)
- Sorry, I missed that. Have merged the e-mail to the old one at ticket:2014010710014506. BTW the January e-mail (which contains the correct image and a license statement) ended with an OTRS agent mailing back that the e-mail needs to come from the copyright-holder and not from the subject of the picture. The new e-mail still didn't address this. Owning the images physically doesn't mean owning the copyright for it too. That the picture was taken by his mother isn't mentioned in any e-mail from him.

1967A
Hello. According to 1967A, Dimitar Lukanov sent a permission to [email protected] between June 29th and July 3rd, 2012. Dimitar Lukanov is said to be the author of the photographed artworks and the photographer. The files concerned are:
- File:Light to Sky.jpg
- File:Waterfall of the Sun.jpg
- File:Balance of Gray.jpg
- File:White Fire.jpg
- File:Balance of Time.jpg
- File:Salto de Agua 2001.jpg
- File:Mountain of Colors.jpg
- File:Silent Wave.jpg
- File:Vertical-light.JPG
- File:Mountains-purple-shades.JPG
- File:LightWithin1.jpg
There was no link to ORTS tickets in the files before their deletion. Thank you for your help. BrightRaven (talk) 17:35, 2 June 2014 (UTC)
- Dear BrightRaven, the autorizations were resubmitted to the [email protected] to speed the process. These are the original permissions, forwarded to the alternative address. I hope that this will clear the issue and the images will be restored. Best regards, --1967A (talk) 19:38, 2 June 2014 (UTC)

otrs:3396357 for File:Vaso Cubrilovic academician.jpg/sr:Датотека:Vaso Čubrilović.jpg
Can someone please check this ticket? As all Creative Commons licenses require attribution of the author, it seems strange that the author is supposedly unknown. (Then again, the uploader also claims that the photo of a person who died i 1990 was taken in 2006.) And if the author is unknown, who issued the license, and with which authority? —LX (talk, contribs) 03:30, 13 January 2014 (UTC)
- That ticket (#2009072410055859) contains permission to upload files from http://www.sanu.ac.rs/ - the permission was confirmed by an employee of the SANU. I'm not 100% sure which license they meant, but it looks like people may upload the photos under any license they wish. Please ask Dungodung if you wish to know more. Trijnsteltalk 10:38, 16 January 2014 (UTC)
- Permission was asked for the photos to be released under GFDL (WM might have switched to CC by that time [2009], but our boilerplate request still contained references to GFDL), but the response says that all material (photos included) from the site can be used without limits (i.e. PD). The response also says that the material should be used in a way that won't jeopardize reputation of SANU or Serbia. Also, we are asked to publish the material in its entirety in order to avoid "wrongful understanding and putting facts in different contexts". Basically, that gives us broad usage. However, their website is still adorned with a Copyright clause, but I think it refers to the site itself, not the content. Hope this helps. --Filip (§) 22:46, 16 January 2014 (UTC)
- "Used without limits" doesn't sound like it would be the same as public domain. It sounds more like {{Copyrighted free use}}, particularly considering the site's copyright notice. If it really is in the public domain (which would contradict the copyright notice on the site), then I need help with an appropriate {{PD-because}} rationale. Again, since the author is apparently unknown, can you confirm that the statement from the Academy contains an actual assertion that they are indeed the copyright holders of the content in question? (Also, I presume subdomains are excluded, since it's pretty easy to find content that they obviously can't license under www.mi.sanu.ac.rs, for example.) —LX (talk, contribs) 18:43, 17 January 2014 (UTC)
- I don't think there's a way to find out if the photos are really in the ownership of SANU or not, unless we ask them specifically. Bear in mind that this is a request from 2009, back when we were much more lenient when it came to permissions, so while it was good enough for that time, it might not suffice now. So, it might be worthwhile to send another request and to try to clarify these things. As for the Mathematical Institute (MI), funny you should mention it as Wikimedia Serbia is holding a meeting with them next week regarding liberation of some content. --Filip (§) 23:13, 17 January 2014 (UTC)

Special:Contributions/Fulvio_Wetzl
Several of this user's recent uploads include an OTRS ticket. They've had a lot of their older uploads deleted, so I wonder about these. Can an OTRS member check these out? INeverCry 17:53, 14 January 2014 (UTC)
- Taking a look, and a second look (in Italian). Note the original OTRS volunteer does not seem active on Commons recently. --Fæ (talk) 19:41, 14 January 2014 (UTC)
- The ticket looks relevant, it covers the following original file names:
- File:Lanfranco (Jacques Perrin) e Giovanni (Andrej "Kolya" Chalimon) in "Prima la Musica, poi le Parole".jpg
- File:Marina (Anna Bonaiuto) e Giovanni (Andrej "Kolya" Chalimon) in "Prima la Musica, poi le Parole".jpg
- File:PRIMA LA TRAMA, POI IL FONDO inquadratura del film inserita nel corto "Renata degli Abissi".png
- File:PRIMA LA TRAMA, POI IL FONDO inquadratura del film inserita nel cortometraggio "la bicicletta".png
- File:Fulvio Wetzl (Milano 2013).JPG (la foto è stata scattata da Laura Bagnoli, come dichiarato, che me la cede in uso gratuito)
- I believe they have been uploaded with slightly different names like File:Andrej Chalimon e Anna Bonaiuto in Prima la musica poi le parole di Fulvio Wetzl.jpg, which matches the second on the above list, so I'd take any with similar names on good faith. I note that one of the above has been deleted by yourself and can be undeleted and ticketed on this basis. I am not 100% confident doing these, it would be better if someone who can read Italian were to finish these. --Fæ (talk) 20:09, 14 January 2014 (UTC)

Hello,
Please have a look at this DR: Commons:Deletion requests/Files in Category:Babri Masjid. This ticket is most probbaly not valid. Regards, Yann (talk) 06:04, 30 January 2014 (UTC)

- We need someone who can read Arabic to investigate further. What I can tell from Google Translate is that the OTRS agent accepted the license. whym (talk) 05:41, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
- According to Dharmadhyaksha here User talk:Fastily#Commons:Deletion requests.2FFiles in Category:Babri Masjid, it is not Arabic, but Urdu. Could you please ask the person who validated it, or some OTRS admin to interven? Thanks, Yann (talk) 05:53, 5 February 2014 (UTC)
- Oh right! It could be Arabic too. I just said Urdu because the subject is in India where Arabic or other Nastaliq or Abjad script would be rare. But the user could be a traveller from anywhere.

- @Ebraminio: There is no FOP problem in India in this case as architecture in 3D form is covered in FOP. The problem actually is that whether the claimed owner actually is the owner of the images or not. Its not new to see OTRS emails from non-owners claiming ownership. The language problem doesn't allow many of us to see if the ownership was undoubtedly established or not. Please note that some of the images whose ownership is claimed in the OTRS have already been deleted as other ownership was claimed elsewhere or possible copyvio reasons were provided at the Commons:Deletion requests/Files in Category:Babri Masjid. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 10:46, 24 February 2014 (UTC)
- So you should wait to see others comments specially User:Mardetanha as he has right to see what is deleted and investigate about them but as I said I do know user Mohammadian is writer of several books related to his travels and his career as a pro photographer so for me that would be more probable others just copied (or scanned with better resolution) his images as they thought these are old and in public domain so there is no need to attribute even. −ebraminiotalk 15:11, 25 February 2014 (UTC)

- I have been poked to check this case, as I checked thoroughly based on logs and internet search, It is not possible to clearly say if these images are copyvio, As Ebraminio mentioned above, uploader is long term user and history of donating thousands of images and as he said he and his family member were doing photography since 1964, to be on safe side, we may ask him for further information about images, if he fails to do so, always there is time to delete Mardetanha talk 17:31, 25 February 2014 (UTC)

- H, this is the issue you contacted me about the other day. I followed up with an email to the person who sent in the permission, indicating that we needed more (following your advice). That email was sent on 19 February, as of this moment, no response.
- I see the three images have been deleted, and it looks like they have been uploaded again. I will follow up with a note to the uploader.--Sphilbrick (talk) 20:39, 21 February 2014 (UTC)

- @Sphilbrick: Sorry for not being able to catch up earlier here, was a bit busy. Perhaps its due to the time zone difference, but you noted the email was received on the 19 February, but I sent the request for license permissions to the user on 20 February, according to the timestamps on email inbox. Did you receive two OTRS tickets, or was that just the time zone difference?
- I'm not sure exactly what I'm supposed to do. The last message I sent hasn't yet received a reply, and it was basically another confirmation request. I can email you the contents if you want, and you can look at the details. But I'm afraid I'm not seeing how I could be of further help beyond this point.

- Hi guys, sorry but I'm still figuring out just now slowly how to talk on this platform and I've found this message just now. As you can imagine, me, Valeria Mascarponi, Anke Luckmann and Steve Goldstein own all the rights about producing and editing the pictures uploaded. If you guys prefer I could resend all the picture to OTRS and CC on the email also Valeria, Anke and Steven asking them to confirm the release of the rights. Would that work toward the release of the pictures or would you prefer some other way? Thanks --gvocale (talk) 23:36, 1 March 2014 (EST)

Hey there, we would like to bring the according image online still. There has been an (rather quickly) archived discussion on this messageboard, but the last answer was not clarifying. See old discussion:
- The last email was waiting for an origin version of the image to be sent back to be verified. You need to respond to that. I suggest not doing so here if you prefer the discussion to remain non-public. --Fæ (Diskussion) 13:01, 14 January 2014 (UTC)
This is not true. I only got an answer about who the photographer of the portrait image was, clarifying that this was a selfie. After that response, there was no more response. Would be nice if someone could help out. --PaulBommel (talk) 15:01, 5 March 2014 (UTC)
- No, Fae was quite correct—the OTRS agent has replied to you, requesting that you send him the original file with EXIF data. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 21:18, 5 March 2014 (UTC)
- Thank you for that information, obviously this conversation got lost. I have just checked and there actually is an original file which is not cropped, but it also doesnt contain metadata. Its the same one like this one, but in higher resolution. This is definitely an image owned by Ian Wilson, as he is the chairman of this company.

- If you click on the red link you can see this was deleted on 14 March 2014 by @Fastily: , seven days after being marked as not having permission. Praxis Loewengasse (talk · contribs) did receive a correct notification on 6 March 2014. There appears to be no email on OTRS about this file, so you may want to raise your question with Fastily if you believe there was adequate permission given for the upload, or have the copyright holder write to permissionswikimedia.org. There seems no action here for any OTRS volunteer. --Fæ (talk) 15:22, 6 April 2014 (UTC)

- There is no deletion request discussion in this case. When a photograph has its permission challenged, if there is no response within 7 days it is considered reasonable to delete it. If you think Fastily has overlooked something, you can ask them to reconsider on their user talk page. In this case, the easiest thing is probably for the copyright holder to email in to OTRS and if verified then it can be undeleted. --Fæ (talk) 18:57, 6 April 2014 (UTC)

copyrighted performance falsely declared as public domain
Looking for an open copy of Clair de Lune, I found http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Claude_Debussy_-_clair_de_lune.ogg and was suspicious because it was declared to be beyond copyright because of it's age. Of course the score is quite old, but this is clearly a recent recording of it. It is important that Wikimedia Commons be a reliable source of open works.
A little Googleing turned up the artist [email protected] who declares that she is the copyright holder.

File:2000.08.17 KASHMIR Sayed Salahuddin Letter to Clinton on Peace Offer.jpg
I removed the claim of "free use because created by employee of US government" - Ijaz was never an employee of the US government. [8]
Unless the OTRS communications involve something from "Salahuddin [who] was not fluent in certain aspects of the English language. ... Mr Salahuddin is a Kashmiri freedom fighter who does not frequent Wikimedia discussions of this type" confirming Salahuddin desire to release the copyright, or something confirming that Salahuddin as a Pakistani government official let a US citizen draft an official government document, or something that confirms Ijaz was a secret government employee on an mission that the government denies existed, its release as a free use document seems unlikely.

A few days ago Dennis Lewin and Amherst Records sent you emails pertaining to copyrights on pictures they own. They both will allow the pictures to be put on the Beau Coup page but they haven't been restored yet. What is the status on that request? Thanks Mmcard59 (talk) 04:36, 28 March 2014 (UTC)
Can you please tell me the status of the copyrighted pictures for the Beau Coup page? I'm not sure if I am allowed to reload the pictures. Amherst Records sent permissions an email allowing the pictures to be use but I haven't heard anything as yet. Thank you for your time!! Mmcard59 (talk) 12:02, 31 March 2014 (UTC)

File:Fukushima_I_by_Digital_Globe.jpg
Hey, I was wondering whether I can use the image with the OTRS ticket number #2011031710013124 as a category image or post image on my blog. I plan to write about the recent activities in Fukushima, since there's just few media in Germany that reports about the situation there. Regards, Ben Deepabysm (talk) 10:13, 6 June 2014 (UTC)

ticket:2013112310008931 for File:Gerardo Diego, Emeric Tauss Torday 2013-08-24 20-09.png and others
Could some check this ticket? In August and September 2013, Elifervil uploaded several scans of paintings by Emeric Tauss Torday who died in 1987, claiming "own work". The uploads were deleted in October here, but undeleted in December, presumanly because OTRS received a ticket roviding permission, see [9]. What kind of permission would allow us to treat this as CC-BY-SA? Does the uploader represent the heirs of the artist, or does the uploader otherwise hold some permission by way of a donation by the artist? I am dubious of this ticket because while the wikipedia editor with the same username here claims they have permission from the heiress, the wikipedia pages for the artist appear to be solely sourced by artprice.com and artvalue.com. If OTRS decides it is Ok, could someone add some detail to the first image to help clarify the permission, and to guide reusers how they should attribute (the uploader? the heiress?) -84user (talk) 20:33, 11 March 2014 (UTC)
- @84user: The ticket is in Spanish, but it looks like (with Google Translate), that the sender claims to be the heir (daughter) of the artist, who also owns the paintings. The OTRS-ticket contains, however, a release of the original works under the {{Cc-by-2.5-es}} license (missing from the file description pages) for the following files:

Eyelashcorporation (talk · contribs)
Hey there, I and Túrelio recently tagged some of the images uploaded by this user for deletion, myself perhaps a little hastily, and HJ Mitchell declined the speedy deletion for File:EyelashLogo.png saying I should contact the uploader first, since they seem to be editing on behalf of the corporation. They're also speaking a bit of Japanese, so could Japanese OTRS agents please assist in making the effort to contact them? I'm afraid I might not have the necessary skills to get past this particular language barrier, or if they would be willing to respond to my requests in English.

I am confused about the Bollywood Hungama OTRS
Please could people review Commons:Deletion_requests/File:Sanjay_dutt_department.jpg. I'm obviously confused about things but it seems to me that there are numerous holes in the Bollywood Hungama OTRS ticket. I'd appreciate some clarification. - Sitush (talk) 11:57, 19 March 2014 (UTC)
- Hi, I checked this ticket which was also reviewed by several volunteers. I see nothing wrong with it. This image seems to be taken at the press conference, I see no problem here either. Regards, Yann (talk) 13:57, 19 March 2014 (UTC)
- What about the following images? File:On the sets of OMG.jpg ; File:Jism 2 set.jpg ; File:Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Sudeep on the sets of Eega.jpg These were not from a press conference. Boseritwik (talk) 05:28, 20 March 2014 (UTC)
- The inclusion of "film sets" images is discussed in the ticket, which was finally approved by Bollywood Hungama, so at least, it is not an oversight. May be some experienced OTRS volunteers might want to give an opinion. Regards, Yann (talk) 06:51, 20 March 2014 (UTC)
- I see no evidence that this image meets the ticket requirements. Furthermore, it seems to me that the wording of the ticket means an awful lot of other images also do not prima facie meet the requirements. The source is this page on their website. It certainly says that it is from a press conference for a film (although it is filed in the "parties" directory, which is another aspect of the ticket) but it doesn't say who took the photo, nor whether the photographer is an employee of Bollywood Hungama, which makes "created by their own photographers" impossible to verify. Also, the ticket says that the thing must have been "exclusively" created - where is the evidence for this? I'm not even sure what that means: if we find it on another website that claims copyright, for example, how do we know whether that site's source is Commons or Bollywood Hungama? And, if it is from the BH original, how can it be "exclusively" created if (presumably) they've sold it on via a stock library or whatever?
- The ticket is worthless in this instance and in many others. - Sitush (talk) 11:44, 20 March 2014 (UTC)

File:Robert Simonds.jpg
I noticed that Sphilbrick restored all previously deleted revisions of this file and marked the permission as confirmed. Could I please get a second opinion on that?
The 2014-03-31 revision uploaded by Ombase was previously deleted as a copyright violation, as it was grabbed from http://news.yahoo.com/photos/image-distributed-ajb-images-image-released-wednesday-march-photo-172347774.html (Alex Berliner/AJB Images via AP Images), which makes it somewhat unlikely to be covered by a free license. That said, the latest revision is claimed to be the uploader's work and is also credited to Alex Berliner, whose name is linked to User:Ombase's (nonexistent) user page, so maybe the ticket covers both of these revisions and confirms that User:Ombase and Alex Berliner are one and the same?
Where it gets really fishy is the 2012-12-05 revision by Jessie cooper87x. That's a photo by Kevin Mazur/Wireimage. Surely that is still a blatant copyright violation which should never have been restored? —LX (talk, contribs) 15:18, 14 April 2014 (UTC)
- I agree that something doesn't quite add up. The person sending in the permission is not Alex Berliner (nor Robert Simonds). I am in the process of writing to the purported copyright holder to ask for more information.--Sphilbrick (talk) 15:28, 14 April 2014 (UTC)
- I've received a preliminary response, which is encouraging. I have asked for some additional information, including permission to share the response.--Sphilbrick (talk) 18:32, 14 April 2014 (UTC)
- Excerpts from the response (after obtaining permission to quote)
- Yes, I am a photographer and work with Alex Berliner. I posted the recent version of the Robert Simonds photo, which is indeed sourced to Alex in the press release but is the work of our studio.
- In addition, please expect a response from Alex within the next day or two. --Sphilbrick (talk) 19:10, 14 April 2014 (UTC)
- Shouldn't the file be tagged with {{OTRS received}} rather than {{PermissionOTRS}} until the permission is actually confirmed? And I'm still puzzled as to why you've restored the Wireimage photo. —LX (talk, contribs) 19:52, 14 April 2014 (UTC)
- I used the confirmed tag because it looked fine when I first reviewed it. Then someone raised some questions, which were worth looking into, (and really relate to other images than the current one) but I got a response from the copyright holder in short order, so I didn't bother changing it. While we are still due a confirmation letter from the named author, I don't see the need to change the tag. If we do not get the letter, we might have to debate whether what we have is sufficient, but I see no need to open that debate now. Perhaps we should delete the older images. I'm open to that possibility.--Sphilbrick (talk) 23:34, 14 April 2014 (UTC)

Copyvio deletion of File:The Hunger Games logo.png / #2014021210011051
Hello,
I would like to report what appears to be an invalid permission, and actions taken upon this.
1. The movie series Hunger Games uses a 3D + gradient typography in the movie and every ad poster, as we can see on http://www.thehungergamesexplorer.com/us/epk/hunger-games/
2. An artist called Xiahre cropped this logo, add some black around and publish it on a fanart website, under CC-BY 3.0 license.
3. An es.wikipedia contributor, who on Commons uploaded during 6 months only copyrighted stuff, like Lord of the Ring ad posters uploads it on Commons, after a very rough détourage.
4. Jcb deletes it.
5. An OTRS ticket washes the derivative work issue, and Alan restores the picture, adding 2014021210011051 ticket. He notes in the undelete log there is a more permissive license (CC-BY), but is happy to keep on the picture the CC-BY-SA license offered by default in the upload wizard (I imagine this is also the license on the OTRS mail received).
6. I've deleted it, as work described in (2) is a derivative work. Xiah weren't allowed to publish this work under CC-BY or CC-BY-SA license, as a copyright infringement of works described in (1).

Another request
Hello again. Awfully sorry to strain the resources but could someone please check if there is a ticket for these files:
- File:Kürtőskalács székely és magyar zászlóval.jpg
- File:Kurtos diagram.jpg
- File:Kurtoskalacs family tree.jpg
- File:Kürtőskalács családfa.jpg
The uploader suggests that an email has been sent and that at ticket:2014041810005642 and ticket:2014011610015382 refer to the above images. Cheers. Green Giant supports NonFreeWiki (talk) 04:29, 6 May 2014 (UTC)

- Here were shown some objections to the license sent to OTRS because of (C) watermarks present in previous versions of the images. Currently, also some permission from Living Transylvania Association has been received. For me the permission looks OK.

Waterfall images
Can someone please confirm the email response posted at User talk:TeleComNasSprVen#Concerns about pictures of waterfalls? TeleComNasSprVen (talk) 06:05, 14 May 2014 (UTC)
- @TeleComNasSprVen: ticket:2014032910006248. The permissions email came through in both English and Norwegian. I responded on 23 April 2014 requesting the specific license the file is released under. Although your talk page lists a specific license, the email doesn't. When I ran the Norwegian text through a translator, it looks like the person who is listed to own copyrights says that someone else does. We don't have nearly enough permission.

Receiving permission via Facebook?
Sorry if this answer is elsewhere and I just can't find it, but is it permissible to seek permission from a copyright holder through Facebook? I'm asking in the case of a notable person whom I've previously spoken to on Facebook regarding their article. Would I need to copy and paste permission content into a regular email for OTRS, or would this not be ok? I'm reluctant to bother this individual for a private email address, but I suppose I will try if it's the only way forward. Buddy23Lee (talk) 22:47, 2 June 2014 (UTC)
- Buddy23Lee If the permission is given in a publicly viewable page, link to it below and I will see what I can do for you. Ping me so that I see your reply. Sven Manguard Wha? 06:02, 13 June 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks for the reply, Sven Manguard, but I guess I should have specified that I would be seeking permission through facebook email, rather than a profile page, so I believe that would not be publicly viewable. In past permissions I just used my regular, non-facebook email account and then forwarded the response to OTRS. I wasn't sure if I could do that with a facebook email, or if it was even deemed acceptable. Any thoughts on this? Buddy23Lee (talk) 19:05, 13 June 2014 (UTC)
- Buddy23Lee: If it's clearly an official account, I don't see what difference it makes. Just forward the conversation to OTRS as you normally would.
- Alright, I'll just try to adapt my previous successful method as best I can. I suppose I could always forward along screenshots of the facebook email chain along with any cut-and pasted text. Thanks. Buddy23Lee (talk) 19:25, 13 June 2014 (UTC)

Album covers and professional photographs of Patricia O'Callaghan
I have been attempting to tidy up the permissions for these photographs. These have been uploaded by Carlofantom (talk · contribs), who I shall notify of this discussion. The photographs/covers are identical to those promoted on the internet, being low resolution versions with no credible EXIF data.
The approach by OTRS volunteers has been inconsistent over the past year, with some being accepted on good faith and others being rejected as unverifiable. As well as images uploaded to Commons, further photographs have been received on OTRS and yet to be uploaded. I propose that validation is only considered sufficient if either the album production company provides a statement (either directly of copyright release, or nominating their copyright agent as having legal authority) or on a case-by-case basis the original photographer can be verified and provides a release.
Though I have written to patricia-ocallaghan.com, should the artist reply with a personal release rather than a production company release, this would not be sufficient in consideration of the correspondence at ticket:2013072010003118.
- ticket:2013072010003118 (closed as unable to verify)
- ticket:2014030110002901 (Pending correspondence with patriciapatricia-ocallaghan.com, 18 April 2014)
- File:Patricia_O'Callaghan.jpg (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)
- File:Patricia_O'Callaghan_(La_Perla_hosiery).jpg (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)
- File:Real_Emotional_Girl.jpg (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)
- File:Matador_(album).jpg (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)
- File:Broken Hearts & Madmen.jpg (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)
My action so far has to start merging all 2014 correspondence on album/professional promotional shots of Patricia O'Callaghan to the same OTRS ticket and where images had been marked with {{OTRS permission}} these are swapped to {{OTRS received}}. If further requests are received, I suggest we continue to merge them to the same ticket.
Please note, a number of OTRS volunteers have acted based on emails received through OTRS. There is no intended criticism here of past action. Certainly I have found the history confusing to follow, and as a pile of unlinked email requests, it was hard to make any judgement based on past correspondence. --Fæ (talk) 06:38, 24 April 2014 (UTC)

Permission confirmation
Hi everybody. Could an OTRS agent please confirm that this statement of permission is sufficient enough for usage on Wikimedia Commons? The largest part of the conversation is in Dutch, but the conversation with EPA is in English. See also this discussion on my talk page. Thanks in advance. JurgenNL (talk) 07:30, 29 April 2014 (UTC)
- I'm not sure on the EPA, but as from their words as long as she pays the fee, there shouldn't be problem. I would still want evidence that she has paid the fee (since that is the condition). Looking at [www.epa.eu EPA's website] when you go to request a fee for a photo, you have to fill in a form about its use. I'm not sure that they really intend release the file under a CC license which would mean anyone could then use it for free for any use and they would potentially lose profits. Just my two cents. Cheers, TLSuda (talk) 10:57, 29 April 2014 (UTC)
- I would contact the EPA and explain to them the situation. You could use this ticket as an example on how to approach them. russavia (talk) 02:09, 30 April 2014 (UTC)

multiple images claimed under single ticket number
A user is uploading a number of images claiming they are all covered by [10]
given the source, it seems very unlikely that they have even approved one. TheRedPenOfDoom (talk) 18:41, 1 May 2014 (UTC)
- I'm the user, who uploaded these pictures. I asked license reviewer Jcb and he told me that Behindwoods gave permission for uploading their pictures. talk. Please don't remove any images.--ThaThinThaKiThaTha (talk) 19:04, 1 May 2014 (UTC)
- There is a forwarded email from http://www.behindwoods.com/ that was then forwarded to OTRS that releases "their content" under CC-by-SA-3.0 as long as http://www.behindwoods.com/ is attributed. When asked for more information File:Nazriya Nazim at neram audio launch.jpg is specifically mentioned, but it seems like it might be open for more. User:Jcb did handle the ticket. Cheers, TLSuda (talk) 19:07, 1 May 2014 (UTC)
- Karthi's image was approved by a diffrrent reviewer: User:JurgenNL--ThaThinThaKiThaTha (talk) 19:35, 1 May 2014 (UTC)
- that one image has been confirmed as having been appropriately release does not in any way imply that the release is covering all of the images that you claim it is. TheRedPenOfDoom (talk) 20:44, 1 May 2014 (UTC)
- Karthi's image was approved by a diffrrent reviewer: User:JurgenNL--ThaThinThaKiThaTha (talk) 19:35, 1 May 2014 (UTC)
- Basically you disagree with both reviewers User:Jcb and User:JurgenNL, who approved the pictures independently with the same ticket rationale. But that doesn't mean you'Re 100% correct in your handling of the matter as you are implying by your repeated speedy deletion tagging of File:JiivaBW.jpg.--ThaThinThaKiThaTha (talk) 21:00, 1 May 2014 (UTC)
- I said nothing of the kind. I said that there is no verification and no reason to believe that approval to release one image under CC-3 means that they have decided to release all images under CC-3 while maintaining the practice of placing copyright notices on every page and marking every image with a copyright watermark.

So, to avoid any further confusion. Permission was sent to release "their content" from an email address associated with www.behindwoods.com under a "CC-by-SA-3.0 license as long as www.behindwoods.com is attributed." A OTRS volunteer requested what image(s) did this apply to. The single-line response was a link to the File:Nazriya Nazim at neram audio launch.jpg. After the reply, the ticket was fully reviewed and accepted. All we know for 100% accuracy is that image is released under the above license. The initial permissions could've meant to release any images from that website, but we cannot be 100% positive. The BEST solution would be for someone to reach out to www.behindwoods.com and get a new email sent. Cheers, TLSuda (talk) 21:58, 1 May 2014 (UTC)
- It seems the confusion is about accuracy of the mail. I have contacted User:Jcb for clarification who said it's a general permission.--ThaThinThaKiThaTha (talk) 06:45, 2 May 2014 (UTC)

Message from Drapé
Bonjour,
Suite à la suppression de quelques fichiers liés à la page de M. Arnaud Courlet de Vregille il y a une semaine, certains fichiers, apparaissant sur sa propre page, ont été éjectés par mégarde. Il s'agissait d'une erreur, comme cela a été reconnu par Sylenius (https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discussion_utilisateur:Drap%C3%A9#Suppression_fichiers). Il m'a alors dit que je devais avoir l'autorisation de l'artiste pour poster ces fichiers, autorisation que j'ai ; ce dernier a même envoyé un courriel précisant qu'il la redonnait. Or, je ne parviens pas à remettre les fichiers en questions ; pourriez-vous m'indiquer la démarche à suivre s'il vous plaît, si possible en m'envoyant vers des pages existantes, car les pages vers lesquelles on m'a renvoyé la dernières fois ne l'étaient apparemment pas.

OTRS tickets without correct information?
I'm not familiar with how the OTRS system works, but it seems strange that these files
have tickets without even having meaningful info... I would like to add the correct information, but thought I should see if the permission is even valid first. The former file appears to be the work of Lockheed, while the latter is clearly signed and dated by it's author, Russ Maheras. Can I get a confirmation that these parties were actually involved in the OTRS request? --jnkyrdsprkl (talk) 19:38, 16 May 2014 (UTC)
- The OTRS ticket covers "Any of [Konstance Keever] father's Images, Documents, Pictures collected during his career with NASA, USAF, and the SR-71 projects", which I guess would also be covered by {{PD-USGov}}. --Jarekt (talk) 20:08, 16 May 2014 (UTC)
- Hmmm... {{PD-USGov}} covers works created by gov employees as part of their jobs, probably not to works by others that they collect... is the father's name available? If the permission for the photo is legitimate, I'd like to upload a better copy. As for the drawing, maybe an OTRS person can contact the artist (linked above)? --jnkyrdsprkl (talk) 20:39, 16 May 2014 (UTC)
- I really do not know if the OTRS is correct. The name of Konstance Keever father is not mentioned but it sounds like he was working for US Government. It is also unclear if he is the creator of the photo and the drawing ( he could be Russ Maheras). You do not need OTRS people to contact authors, anybody can. Usually an user working on an article contacts authors and as them to send email to OTRS. --Jarekt (talk) 02:17, 18 May 2014 (UTC)

The first one was mentioned in the ticket. Even without permission it will be almost certain PD-USGov. The second one is another story. I don't see how this is covered by the ticket. I have marked it as 'no permission'. Jcb (talk) 20:17, 18 June 2014 (UTC)
Hi
I have an immediate problem with three images. One image has been deleted, the two others are facing deletion. I also have additional images that might be questioned, concerning the copyright status. A template release was sent in to Commons on April 12 by Nigel Noble. I am providing links to the information that I have left on a Sven's talk page , Commons Admin and the person who sent me 3 emails concerning the deletions.
<Susan> Left a message [[11]]
<Susan> This is the Commons Admin who saw the release on April 12th [[12]]
Thank you Susan Macafee (talk) 03:56, 20 May 2014 (UTC))
- I found the ticket finally. And as I see it is complex.
- 1st, the license sent concerns video, while the uploaded files are single pictures. We have to verify whether they are related. Pointing their relation (eg. at which second of the video the images appear) would help us much.
- 2nd, it is important to use the initial ticket number in further correspondence. As I can see, you sent no single mail after receiving a response from an OTRS team member. He did not even know that anything else has been sent to the OTRS.
- And do not expect single person to be handling the whole ticket through a ling period of time. We are volunteets only and do none of us serves the system continuously. If you try to save our time, we would try to response faster. I will look at the ticket tonight or tomorrow. Assuming, that it does not concern the deleted picture (a map as I heard; if it does, please send more info about it). Ankry (talk) 07:17, 20 May 2014 (UTC)
I can not find a ticket number associate with these files. Sven knew I was going to upload cuts from this video as we discussed the cuts, in the Wiki help room, after he saw the permission and release. He never informed me that I would have to provide the time for the cuts. Since I have upload a number of cuts to possibly use, in addition to the two cuts in the current discussion, do I have to provide the time for each of the cuts? Instead of rewriting the descriptions concerning the three files in question, I posted links to talk pages that contained information concerning the files in question.Susan Macafee (talk) 23:31, 20 May 2014 (UTC)

Hello, I arbitrarily copied the OTRS Ticket#2014052910013611 from File:Half Siliqua Theodosius Carthage.jpg as both files were included in the same correspondence with the copyright holder.

RohhSchmitt claims that an e-mail containing details of the permission for this file has been sent to OTRS. This seems unlikely given that the file was obtained through Google, given that the uploader thinks that the photo has no author(!), and given that the uploader doesn't know what license the supposed permission from the supposedly nonexistent author was for. Has anything actually been sent in? —LX (talk, contribs) 18:50, 13 June 2014 (UTC)

Hi all, there are lots of way old tickets in the queues. If everybody just processes a few of them, we can clean up the queue before everybody is on summer holydays. Jcb (talk) 19:23, 15 June 2014 (UTC)
Attention! Depicted person is NOT synonym for author!
In the past few hours I had to correct two different colleagues from the OTRS team who criticlessly accepted the statement from a depicted person who stated to be the author of that picture. I accept that unexperienced people may completely missunderstand the word 'author', but a member of the OTRS team should not make such a basic error. Jcb (talk) 23:19, 16 June 2014 (UTC)
Commons:Deletion requests/All pictures uploaded by User:Riesending-bergwachtfotos
Please publish the contents of ticket:2014061710008496 for the deletion request. The alleged permission cannot have been given, because it is contradicted by the official reuse policy of the organization and the contact person was a PR person, not a member of the executive board. The person thus certainly did not have the legal power to grant licenses. --rtc (talk) 20:14, 19 June 2014 (UTC)

My photo was used without my permission

I took this photo and I have not released it into the public domain. I was not credited as its author, copyright holder, or photographer. I do not recall giving permission for it to be used. I have tried to contact the person who posted it, but they do not appear to be listed. It appears to have been lifted from my website at: http://americanindian.net/kusi/jackiecollins/photo28.html .

- Sandra requested it. It was not randomly grabbed from they internet. You can ping somebody by using the template {{ping|username}}. Since Jcb already deleted the file the file I would like to ask you to send an email to com:OTRS from an emailadress which can be linked to the website. Thank you for taking this in consideration.

Ticket #2014052910018786
Dear OTRS volunteers,
can someone please clarify what content exactly is covered by ticket:2014052910018786?
Right now File:FAA heli-manual 4 forces.PNG is covered by this ticket, but an SVG version of that file has just been deleted on the basis of "no OTRS permission". I would like to know whether the permission given in this ticket restricts usage to some figures in the source FAA PDF file, or some file formats. Thank you, Ariadacapo (talk) 08:33, 8 July 2014 (UTC)
- I've had the file restored and have made the necessary modifications to the file page. The copyright would apply to any file format of the image (PNG, SVG, JPG, etc.) as there were no copyright restrictions on the original document that the file was taken from. - Rjd0060 (talk) 22:53, 8 July 2014 (UTC)

Not a regular user but the OTRS permission ticket for this image should be cleared. IMF.org does indeed confirm that they believe this image is in the Public Domain.

- Userfr, if you look at the licensing section of File:Mungo Man.jpg, the copyright holder has granted permission for the image to be re-used under the CC-BY-SA 3.0 license which means you can adapt, copy, distribute and transmit the image as long as you attribute it to the copyright holder (but not in any way that suggests that they endorse you or your use of the image) and if you change the image you can distribute the new image only under the same or similar license.

Came in as ticket 2014032510026028 (no idea where 2014032710012691 came from - maybe bad cut and paste... who knows..)

Only issue I can see offhand is that the emails are large - 10 megs plus, with one at 20 megs. Any suggestions on what the issue could be, and how I can send them?? Tabercil (talk) 12:53, 24 June 2014 (UTC)
- @Tabercil, there is no need to include images while sending a mail to OTRS. It is preferred to include only links to the images uploaded to commons. These may be links to deleted images (they will be restored if permission is OK) or just names of image used for upload to commons. If you upload images that require OTRS, you can include in their description the {{OTRS pending}} template to avoid speedy deletion. Ankry (talk) 09:54, 27 June 2014 (UTC)

Additional eyes on an old ticket please
I was concerned when I found this ticket. The writer originally speaks of a No Derivatives license, which we would have been unable to use, but the OTRS volunteer responded that "It appears you have licensed something as cc-by-sa-3.0, which makes it eligible for inclusion in Wikipedia". After that, any mention of the No Derivatives part disappears, and it isn't clear that the person writing to us, who very clearly was confused already, knew that derivative works would now be allowed.
My gut feeling is that this ticket should be made invalid, and that we need to contact the person again and clear all of this up. I might be overreacting though, so I will put it to the rest of the OTRS community. Sven Manguard Wha? 19:53, 30 June 2014 (UTC)

use of image on facebook profile of an NGO
Hello,
I would like to use this picture http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Vladimir_Vuk%C4%8Devi%C4%87.jpg on the FB profile of the NGO I represent . May I do it? OTRS ticket https://ticket.wikimedia.org/otrs/index.pl?Action=AgentTicketZoom&TicketNumber=2012011710005331 but we are not OTRS user.
Thanks.
Jacek
- Jacek, yes you can reuse the photo. The OTRS ticket is irrelevant, it's the licence that is important. As it's been licenced under a Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 Unported licence you can reuse the image as you wish as long as you abide by the attribution as specified in the licence. Nthep (talk) 19:35, 5 July 2014 (UTC)
- Well, this is not really clear. Facebook requires you to sublicense content you upload to them. With content created by someone else and used under CC-by-sa you are unable to do that. Some users therefore feel that uploading freely licensed material to Facebook is not permissible, see e.g. User:Ralf Roletschek/NoFacebook. I don't think we have an official policy on whether we think that this content is compatible with Facebook's terms. Regards, -- ChrisiPK (Talk|Contribs) 00:21, 6 July 2014 (UTC)

Ticket:2013120610014874
In private email correspondence with the copyright holder, he indicated that other images from his website that would be useful to enhance Wikipedia articles were also licensed under the the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 Unported license. I want to confirm this before uploading a few more images from his website. Thanks for your attention. DocTree (talk) 18:57, 9 July 2014 (UTC)
- @Doctree: If you (or him) can forward something like that to us, then we can deal with it. Of course, if he wishes to put all images from his website under CC-BY-SA, I am able to create a template to allow you to tag the relevent images on-masse. --Mdann52talk to me! 10:35, 10 July 2014 (UTC)

File:Mikelangelo Relief by Eugeny Kolchev.jpg and Ticket:2014041510000394
Hi, can someone check the validity of this image/ticket as the uploader and non-OTRS-member had set the OTRS template himself. Thx. --JuTa 20:29, 16 July 2014 (UTC)
The same applies to File:Fishes Sculptures by Eugeny Kolchev.jpg. --JuTa 20:31, 16 July 2014 (UTC)
... and as I just notice for all or most images within Category:Sculptures by Eugeny Kolchev. --JuTa 20:33, 16 July 2014 (UTC)
- It's written in Russian, but from what I can tell, the OTRS volunteer instructed the uploader to transfix this template, exactly, to each of his uploads. Ping User:Ahonc for help. Magog the Ogre (talk) (contribs) 03:29, 17 July 2014 (UTC)

Ticket:2014072010011769
Here a question if this ticket is valid. For the background: some days ago I marked several images as no license (they had none). User:Dungodung added {{Wiki Loves Science Serbia}} afterwards, which used this ticket, but didn't added a license template. After that an IP added {{Cc-by-3.0-rs}} an today User:Dungodung removed the "no license" problem tag. I would like to ask if someone could cross-check the validity of the ticket and license. Here a list of the images in question:

- JuTa There's a PDF attached to the ticket that gives permission for 12 files under the CC-BY-3.0-RS license, and as best as I can tell they're probably these 12 images. I can not, however, speak or read Serbian, so this is going off of Google translate (where I could) and some leaps of logic around cognates. You'd need to find someone that can read Serbian if you're looking for something any more definitive than that. Sven Manguard Wha? 07:14, 22 July 2014 (UTC)
- The original uploader confirmed to me that she was the one who removed the templates after adding the CC template. I'm a bit baffled why a ticket validity is being questioned, when this is about 10th occasion within the Wiki Loves Science project of Wikimedia Serbia. I'm the sole permissions-sr agent, so I'm the only one approving tickets such as this. Is there a specific reason why these images are being targeted here? --Filip (§) 22:37, 23 July 2014 (UTC)
- Because I thought you are not an OTRS volounter, which is not correct, you are. Sorry for that. --JuTa 06:51, 24 July 2014 (UTC)
- JuTa: Admittedly I didn't check it myself, but in the future, you can always see who the OTRS agents are by going to the user rights log and seeing if "OTRS member" is there or not. Sven Manguard Wha? 20:15, 27 July 2014 (UTC)

I've requested undeleting and send the permission two times to OTRS for the following files, but sadly nothing happens.

- The OTRS ticket contains the email stream between the copyright holder and Wikimedia, but does not itself contain anything about re-use (Having said that, it is sometimes the case that some questions arise, and it is necessary to check the OTRS ticket to make sure everything was done correctly.) In this case, I perused the (rather long) exchange, and it appears that everything is in order.

ticket #2013070610007169
Hi,
I would like to use this image in a book that my company is working on. I would like to request permission to do so and hope that someone can confirm permission for me.
Thank you.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Mattdc333 (talk • contribs) 15:23, 11 August 2014 9UTC) (UTC)
- I confirm that ticket:2013070610007169 supports the licensing statements given in File:Edward_Snowden.jpg. You'll have to read them there to decide if you can accept that license for your planned use. Wikipedia/wikimedia can't grant or make any other claims or releases ourselves, we just host the images (and information about them) posted by others. DMacks (talk) 16:11, 11 August 2014 (UTC)

Public Domain Usage for Image: French - Pendant with a Monk and Death - Walters 71461.jpg
I would like to confirm permissions usage for image: French - Pendant with a Monk and Death - Walters 71461.jpg
The image is listed as public domain, but asks for confirmation. I would like to use for commercial use. It is available only as ticket #2012021710000834 for users with an OTRS account.
Please confirm this license is available for commercial re-use. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.199.68.71 (talk • contribs) 19:54, 17 August 2014 (UTC)
- The image is not listed as "public domain". The object depicted in the image is listed as "public domain". The photo itself is dual-licensed {{Cc-by-sa-3.0}} and {{GFDL}}, which means you may choose between these two licenses for re-use. Lupo 20:03, 17 August 2014 (UTC)

I wish to use this image of Bob Davis. He will be participating in a conference sponsored by our company this November in Orlando. Please confirm permission to use his photograph and let me know if attribution will be required. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by CleaningBusinessToday (talk • contribs) 18:30, 18 August 2014 (UTC)
- Hello CleaningBusinessToday. The image you are referring to (File:Bob Davis-headshot.jpg) had its permission confirmed by trusted User:TLSuda on 14 April 2014. However the permission you need is the one in the Licensing section which is Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 Unported. This means you can "copy, distribute, transmit and adapt" the photo in any way you wish as long as you "attribute the work in the manner specified by the author" and if you do modify it, you must "distribute the resulting work only under the same or similar license". I hope that helps. Green Giant (talk) 11:34, 21 August 2014 (UTC)

I've been helping the uploader of this image, and I'm glad that the permission has been confirmed. But what is the license for this image? I'd rather not tag it with {{no permission since}} if an agent (Sphilbrick?) can provide the information. Anon126 (✉ ✎) 02:03, 31 July 2014 (UTC)

OTRS number for File:Ridgedale Library.jpg
Would someone mind checking to see if the OTRS ticket number for File:Ridgedale Library.jpg is correct? At just seven digits, it seems shorter than usual. Thanks! Bobamnertiopsis (talk) 14:04, 21 August 2014 (UTC)
- Bobamnertiopsis I don't think it is a genuine ticket because it was added by another user six minutes after the image was uploaded at Wikipedia. I will nominate both copies for deletion. Green Giant (talk) 17:10, 22 August 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks for your help, Green Giant, but if possible, would someone with OTRS permission take a look at the ticket just to be sure? Thanks! Bobamnertiopsis (talk) 04:31, 24 August 2014 (UTC)
- For reference, the quoted ticket number is 7731145. Bobamnertiopsis (talk) 04:40, 24 August 2014 (UTC)

File:EdmondsHOF.jpg
The EXIF (File:EdmondsHOF.jpg#metadata) of this file gives a different author name. Does the permission come from this photographer and did the photographer agree to free reuse with the attribution "Johnmaxmena2"? --Martin H. (talk) 19:30, 23 August 2014 (UTC)
- He is the photographer and it's the name that he chose. The reason for the strange meta data is that the camera was previous owner, the owner of the ticket saw this and mention it. Eitan96 (talk) 20:28, 23 August 2014 (UTC)

Category:Media uploaded without a license as of 2014-07
Dear volunteers, I'd be grateful if someone could check for any emails for the following files that have OTRS-pending from July:
- File:Jonathan Daniels.jpg - see below.
- File:Jonny Daniels' family from Poland.PNG - see below.
- File:Logo From the Depths.jpg - Ticket:2014072410020653 (in Polish though) appears to cover these 3, however emailer has been unable to get a release thus far.
- File:Kris Klef.jpg - nothing whatsoever.
- File:Robg.jpg - nothing here either.

my otrs
I sent in an otrs email on August 13th and I have not received a reply. It is about an image here . I did not receive a ticket yet either. I had uploaded the image to commons and placed otrs pending on the image, but the image was deleted anyway. I was not notified about the deletion on my talk page either and only noticed it was gone while looking through my uploads. I sent a second email a few minutes and I am now awaiting a reply.

- The file in question is File:Alyssa Milano 3.jpg, correct? Files hosted on Wikimedia Commons are free works, meaning you may use them not only for the purposes you listed but also for commercial purposes. You are, however, required to abide by the license requirements of each image. For the image I assume you're talking about, you can see in the Licensing section that its creator, PETA, has released it into the public domain allowing you to use it without even crediting the author. (Other files hosted on Commons are a little more restrictive; those that are licensed Creative Commons Attribution require you to list the creator(s) when reusing images, while others listed Creative Commons Attribution-Sharealike must include attribution AND any derivative products must be licensed Creative Commons as well.)

Backup KML files
I researched a lot vicinal Belgian railway lines, drew the lines in My maps on Google maps and linked them via Google Maps in articles. examples in:
nl:Buurtspoorwegen van de provincie Brabant#Geëlektrificeerde lijnen rond Brussel.
The underlying format KML files in My Maps are my ownership. (Google does not allow to make them community property) They can be used on any underlying maps, for example Openstreetmap. Unfortunately this format cannot imported in the Commons. The danger is if I die, My Maps in Google Maps wil be lost for the wikimedia community. I have zipped all the kml files.

- Hello Mpoppins. If you look at the Licensing section it shows that the image is available under the CC-BY 3.0 license. You can freely reuse the image but you must mention both the author and license somewhere nearby. You could write "Blausen 0353 Epidermis.png: Blausen Medical Communications, CC-BY-3.0" and if it is online you could include a link to the file on Commons. I hope that helps but feel free to ask for more help if you need it. Green Giant (talk) 11:27, 3 September 2014 (UTC)

I want to use this pic (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fukushima_Daiichi_nuclear_disaster#mediaviewer/File:Fukushima_I_by_Digital_Globe.jpg) in one of our free MOOC course. Would this note here alone suffice? I'm a bit confused about the way OTRS works.

Images of Directors for the Anna Crusis Women's Choir
Hi OTRS,
Are there any tickets in the queue for the following files?
File:Miriam Davidson promotional photo.jpg
File:Cathy Roma publicity shot.jpg
I've been working with members of the Anna Crusis Women's Choir to try to get photos of the four directors that they've had in their history, for use on the web page en:Anna Crusis Women's Choir
Two files of directors so far were submitted, and I requested the providers to send emails to [email protected] authorizing release on commons: File:Miriam Davidson promotional photo.jpg File:Cathy Roma publicity shot.jpg
Both have since been deleted by Fastily for No permission, and I would appreciate some help in determining what the issues were:
1. I requested that the providers send in appropriate permissions; can someone tell me if they submitted letters of permission? I would have expected them to use the following email addresses, if that helps: Miriam Davidson [email protected] or possibly [email protected] Catherine Roma <[email protected]>
2. Both photos were given to me by the persons featured in the photos, on the basis that they were publicity shots and works for hire. My understanding is that the people who commissioned and paid for the publicity photos are therefore the copyright holders of the photos in question, and free to authorize me to release the photos on Wikimedia Commons. Is that acceptable?
Please advise if there is a better way to do this. I have a photo of another director, Jane Haulting, which I'd like to upload (this time taken by her husband, who is willing to give the appropriate permissions) but I want to make sure that there isn't something I'm doing wrong in the process before going ahead with that one.
Thanks, Mary Mark Ockerbloom (talk) 21:54, 7 August 2014 (UTC)
- @Mary Mark Ockerbloom: , I've searched for the filenames and the email addresses as well as the choir name and your name. Unfortunately there does not appear to be any email for these files. Green Giant (talk) 21:09, 8 September 2014 (UTC)

Request for some supporting eyes on a ticket
Hi, I have been holding this long running ticket where the model has an interest in seeing their photograph used on Wikipedia. Evidence of permission from the magazine or photographer have been difficult, and I am going to write a reply in the next couple of days to summarize, in a polite way, why the images were deleted. I would appreciate other eyes on the history, and some comments of alternative views (or suggestions for the way to respond) as internal notes against the ticket, so that I can provide a balanced opinion back.

I am the content holder, and I'm releasing this content under an appropriate license.
A week ago I was informed by a the user, DunDunDunt, he had uploaded images of photographs, that I had licensed for most situations. Usage by a commons is permitted, but nevertheless, they were deleted and the user sought my help to correct the situation. So, I tried to come in and fix it, but was instead berated by users claiming that I was pulling a "red-herring", or even "Who is Mario? Since he gives us no corporate title, we can not know that he has any authority to license the images", or that "Mario should either license a limited number of his images CC-BY-SA, without any special template, or go away.."
Two things. First off, no one can force me to license out my intellectual property under any license. Second off, I then assumed good faith and then proceeded to upload a few images for myself with the intent of those images being licensed under an acceptable existing license. But, after doing so, I was then forced to use the OTRS system in bad faith.
I license these images for CC-BY-SA, but I don't appreciate this hullabaloo one bit.
I would also appreciate if DunDunDunt's images were restored (I saw that some were even deleted without notice to that user), this whole ordeal is causing a few issues on web-crawlers around my site. And negative links to my site.
Just a small note: With all of the images of fictional characters or celebrities, on this site, there must be some type of personality notice of some sort "if an image shows an identifiable person or item, using that image for commercial purposes may infringe on someone’s rights, and separate permission should be obtained from that copyright holder." Examples; File:1968 Road Runner emblem VA.jpg, File:Johnny Cash-Nixon.jpg, and File:Voiture Pikachu avec Peluches.jpg. Otherwise there could be serious issues in the future from other copyright holders. I don't have a problem with it in general, but it would just be an important note for the future.

Status of Tobias Visconti's file
I want to know the status of these files. Thanks so much! Vitor MazucoMsg 00:58, 19 July 2014 (UTC)
- Vitor Mazuco: As far as I am concerned, the ticket (#2014071610013051) is acceptable, given the context. The OTRS agent that handled the ticket wants additional clarification, however. While it would be nice if the copyright holder got back to us (literally all he has to say is "Yes, what you said is fine"), the files are already tagged with {{PermissionOTRS}}, so if you're worried about them being deleted over insufficient permission, don't be.

OTRS ticket details needed
There is discussion on what exactly was said regarding a mug shot image of Rick Perry which is claimed to be documented in ticket:2014082810013198. I do not have access to the OTRS but I need to see (or someone equally skilled to make that assessment) if the language clearly puts the image into a free license, or, as with other Texas government work, is "released to the public". The image was previously deleted at Commons [20] likely prior to the submission of this ticket and now is under debate at en.wiki, so help to see exactly what was said or an assessment of that to make a free or non-free license determination. --Masem (talk) 22:18, 15 September 2014 (UTC)
- I guess that's non-confidential: "In the state of Texas booking photos are public record and are released upon written request. We do not give permission to use the photos but simply release them to the public." Ping User:Green Giant. FDMS 4 22:43, 15 September 2014 (UTC)

- Thank you, that helps. A few of us at en.wiki are going to treat this as not placing the copyright into an acceptable free license, (since this is only saying what the user can do with the copy they receive) and thus treating it as non-free there. If anyone feels this is wrong, and what the ORTS says consistitutes a free license, please let me know. --Masem (talk) 22:31, 16 September 2014 (UTC)

- Hi there! This isn't really the place for this because you already have the permission to use any of these images, including for commercial purposes though obviously that's not applicable if you're not going to sell your infographic. Anyway, all the files you linked above are licensed CC-BY-SA-3.0. As long as you abide by the terms of the license, you're welcome to use them. Photos of Harry Hill can be found here, though you may also wish to check Flickr. Wikimedia Commons only hosts images that are allowed for commercial reuse but if you do not intend to sell your infographic, you may wish to search for photos under a Creative Commons Non-Commercial license (CC-BY-NC) on Flickr or elsewhere. I hope this helps. In future, you do not need to ask permission to use images from Commons. See Commons:Reusing content outside Wikimedia for more info.

- I've taken photos of some Indiana historical markers and would like to share them on Commons, but (since they include text) they're protected under literary copyright.
- The Indiana Historical Bureau, which owns and governs the markers, asserts that the markers and their text are free for public use, but lists them as being free under a CC-BY-NC attribution. The bureau's media director states: "Wikimedia Foundation may publish photographs, text, etc. of Indiana State Historical Markers without restriction."
Under these circumstances, is it permissible to upload a photo that I've taken of an Indiana historical marker? Does the bureau's choice of license trump the fact that it specifically grants Wikimedia unrestricted rights? ╠╣uw [talk] 19:34, 4 September 2014 (UTC)
- The ambiguity merits contacting the Bureau and asking for an unambiguous CC-BY(-SA) declaration. We wouldn't accept a ticket that listed CC-BY-NC but stated that Wikimedia was free to use the files without restriction, in part because it sounds like the Bureau doesn't understand what Commons' licensing terms are and that any images hosted here would by nature have to be without the Non-Commercial designation. As it's not our intention to fleece anyone out of any images, a clear explanation and request for permission would be best. Hope that's helpful! Keenly, Bobamnertiopsis (talk) 17:53, 18 September 2014 (UTC)
- I would second what Bob has said. "Permission for Wikipedia use" is not acceptable as a license term. Please note that publicly available does not mean it is freely licensed. It has to be explicitly and unambiguously free for reuse by anyone for any purpose. Green Giant (talk) 19:41, 20 September 2014 (UTC)

File:Paddlefish_distribution.png (2014062310008537)
The image is currently part of a featured article review on en-Wiki, a few questions occured. A similar USGS map is on [[21]] - it's not entirely clear, if the Commons map is a derivative work (and lacks attribution) or really a completely new own work. Could someone please check the OTRS-ticket (2014062310008537) for possible problems?
- Does the OTRS-ticket match the image?
- An uncontroversial "own work" usually wouldn't need OTRS-permission, is there anything "special" about this permission?
- Does the permission mention the possible USGS source map? (It's PD anyway, so would only be a minor attribution problem)
Thanks for any information, you can provide. GermanJoe (talk) 05:32, 23 September 2014 (UTC)
- Yeah, it is a special permission. I've added the correct template. --Mdann52talk to me! 20:31, 25 September 2014 (UTC)

Steven Wolfe Managing Member Passion Music, LLC September 11, 2014
On September 27, 2014, EugeneZelenko deleted the photos on the premise of "Copyright violation; see Commons:Commons:Licensing: Promo photo."
I have sent a request that the photos be undeleted and would appreciate feedback as to whether the backlog of 60 days that you advise about on this page is the reason the statement I forwarded hasn't had effect, or is there another problem? Personally, I think there should be process that assumes the photo was posted in good faith before it's deleted - which was the case in this situation where there is clearly permission from the copyright owner to yield those rights to Wikimedia Commmons and Wikipedia.
Also, I am troubled that there's actually a "barnstar" for deleting images. Where can a suggestion be made that this be replaced with a "barnstar" for those that want to delete images but make an effort to reconcile what is sent to [email protected] or to give contributors the benefit of the doubt before the deletion is made? It seems a "barnstar" for deleting images without making an effort to help reconcile these issues FIRST isn't in very good faith and could engender the wrong motivation. Not always, but maybe from time-to-time?
Please advise.--1987atomheartbrother (talk) 17:02, 29 September 2014 (UTC)
- I have sent you a reply about what needs to be done. Don't worry too much about deletion - it just means the images are hidden from public view and they can easily be restored when the permission is sorted out. Green Giant (talk) 21:48, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

File:CourtCase MurderOf Premakeerthi.pdf
I flagged this up as missing permission but apparently permission has been given via OTRS (ticket). I would like to make sure that the permission was received from the author of the document, the Sri Lankan court which heard the case, and not the individual who photographed/scanned the document.--Obi2canibe (talk) 17:21, 30 August 2014 (UTC)
- @Sphilbrick: , the owner of the ticket. Green Giant (talk) 19:59, 8 September 2014 (UTC)
- I reviewed the claim of permission and it is not perfectly clear. I sent an email to the person providing the permission, asking for clarification.--Sphilbrick (talk) 01:08, 9 September 2014 (UTC)
The person providing the permission did respond that the individual was the creator of the scan, not the underlying documents. However, they went on to say:
The document is a publicly available/released judgement document issued by the High Court of Colombo. I can request a letter of verification from the Department of Justice of Sri Lanka where High Court is a part of. (http://www.justiceministry.gov.lk/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=58:high-court-of-sri-lanka&catid=46:courts-of-law&Itemid=14&lang=en)
Will this be sufficient, or should we ask for such a letter, or is something else needed?--Sphilbrick (talk) 15:35, 9 September 2014 (UTC)
- @Sphilbrick: Many public documents are available for public inspection. That does not mean Commons has permission from the copyright holder to use them. My view is that we need confirmation, ideally via an official e-mail address, from the Ministry of Justice saying that we have permission to use the document and they release it with an appropriate license.--Obi2canibe (talk) 12:39, 15 September 2014 (UTC)

2014081910022212
File:Pierre Ducasse 2013.jpg is a photograph by professional photographer Mathieu Rivard, who in 2013 took photos of writers with the publishing house VLB in Canada. The photographer retains the copyright, as an example can be seen on this page: http://www.edvlb.com/pierre-ducasse/auteur/duca1007, where the copyright notice of Mathieu Rivard is seen in the bottom left corner. It is not a self-portrait by the subject. It is obviously one of the photos from the shooting session made by Mathieu Rivard.
The problem is that the description page mentions only a correspondence with the subject of the photo (Pierre Ducasse). That leaves a doubt about if the declaration is from the photographer and is thus valid.
It is perhaps possible that the subject may have been given copies of photos and allowed to make some use of them. However, it seems unlikely that the subject would be allowed by the photographer to release them under a free license. Although it is possible in theory, it is something that requires at least a clear proof of consent by the photographer.
Can you please confirm that the contents of ticket 2014081910022212 actually proves a declaration of the free licence by the photographer, Mathieu Rivard?

File:Fatimah Calligraphy.png
I'm noticing a message in File:Fatimah Calligraphy.png saying that the permission has not been received by the Commons OTRS team. But I'm sure about it and I've sent the mentioned mail Aug 28, 2014 at 8:53 AM, as my mail sent items box says. I've got some questions:
- Should I send it once again?
- As the creator of this file, I've presented a Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 4.0 International license for the file.

In fact, Should I send permission letter even for uploading photographs? Thank you Mhhossein (talk) 13:15, 2 October 2014 (UTC)
- Ah I see what you mean. Certainly for your own work you shouldn't need to go through OTRS each time but on this occasion you had to do so because another user asked for clarification. You could ask them their reasoning - Stefan4 is their username. As for photographs, yes please do upload them but bear in mind that there can be problems. For instance in some countries you cannot publish photos of modern buildings because you need the permission of the architect. In the case of your calligraphy image, the actual letters might be in the public domain, depending on the jurisdiction. However the best thing to do is to follow the links, read about these things and never hesitate to ask questions at places like the Help desk if you don't understand something. It might be difficult to believe but every one of us was a newbie at one point and the only way to gain experience is to make mistakes and learn from them.

How exactly did an unknown author give permission?
The file File:Lucyflowers.jpg (warning: extremely bad art) is flagged as OTRS-verified (ticket:2009030410004654), but the author is listed as unknown. w:Museum of Bad Art suggests the image is an orphan work. Since the museum doesn't hold the copyright, they cannot grant permission. Please also investigate all of these files:
- File:Eileen by R Anglo Le.jpg (might be OK because the author is at least known, but we need to check whether they personally consented)
- File:Sunday on the pot with George.jpg
- File:Bone Juggling Dog In Hula Skirt.jpg
Thank you. --NYKevin (talk) 14:43, 2 October 2014 (UTC)
- FYI, the mail comes from the Museum of Bad Art. Regards, Yann (talk) 15:05, 2 October 2014 (UTC)
- The work was deliberately abandoned. In law, this is not the same as being forgotten or lost. For physical objects that are abandoned, you lose the right of possession. (I remember this from the A.J. Webeberman vs. Bob Dylan case, where a judge determined that trash you put out on the sidewalk is deliberately abandoned.) Whether you lose all rights I don't know, but certainly a lawyer could make the point that deliberately abandoning an artwork constitutes an abandonment of all rights. This is an unusual situation and it's possible that it's never been decided. Herostratus (talk) 17:24, 2 October 2014 (UTC)
- In that case, the image would be PD. The museum does not magically get the copyright. So either it's PD-other (PD-author?) or a copyvio, and in both cases the licensing information is wrong. Can we get a comment from the WMF on this? --NYKevin (talk) 17:33, 2 October 2014 (UTC)
- Yes, correct, if what I'm saying applies, the museum has no standing in the matter whatsoever and the OTRS is moot. (This applies only to the first painting, and to any of the others that were acquired similarly (that is, from the trash).) Herostratus (talk) 02:49, 3 October 2014 (UTC)

Again, I'm addressing only the first picture (unless others were also found in the trash): the OTRS ticket is malformed, non-functional, should not have been made, and should be ignored. Either the work is public domain or it is orphaned. In neither case does the the MOBA have standing to make a ticket. Herostratus (talk) 02:11, 4 October 2014 (UTC)

- Hello Raul. Firstly, please note that Wikimedia Commons cannot grant you permission to use images hosted here. That prerogative lies with the individual copyright holders unless the image is clearly in the public domain. That said, could you give us the name of the picture you are referring to because there are over a hundred images related to pancreas at Category:Pancreas?

reuse of https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Prostate-mets-102.jpg
Hi, I would like to use this image in my PhD thesis, and it says on that page that the "file allows anyone to use it for any purpose, provided that the radswiki.net is properly attributed". But it seems like the website radswiki.net has been shut down, so who should I attribute it to? Thanks for your time. Twooars (talk) 19:44, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
- @Twooars: Credit should still be given to radswiki.net, but you should note that the website is defunct. If you can, you should also consider providing the URL to the image on Commons so that others can check the permission. Anon126 (✉ ⚒) 00:34, 5 October 2014 (UTC)

Photographs uploaded by Priyankashah1707
Hi - I noticed that one of the admins deleted the photographs that I had uploaded. I had forgotten to add an OTRS pending tag to the photographs. I just spoke to the copyright owner and he has confirmed that today (6th October 2014) he has sent an email containing the Declaration of consent to [email protected] for the photographs I had uploaded. Request you to kindly check and un-delete my photographs. Thank you very much. If there is anything else that I need to do, then do let me know since this is all new to me. Thank you! The list of photographs are:

- Once a permission in an OTRS tickets is recognized as valid, images will be restored. However, I doubt a single permission is enough. Some photos require a book author (and possibly publisher / cover author) permission, others require just the photographer permission; when a copyrightable logo is visible on a photo, the logo copyright owner permission is required, etc. Ankry (talk) 22:12, 5 October 2014 (UTC)
- In addition it doesn't help that you marked all of those files as "own work" and added licenses as if you were the copyright holder. Please take more care in future - give credit where credit is due. Green Giant (talk) 22:32, 5 October 2014 (UTC)

Request for reuse an image in Wikipedia (File:First pacemaker (Siemens-Elema 1958).jpg)
Dear madam or sir My name is Hwang.
I am a graduated student in Korea Institute of Advanced Science and Technology (KAIST). I am preparing a scientific review article for submission in a SCI journal of Advanced Healthcare Materials. I want to reuse an image of Wikipedia for introducing the first artificial pacemaker in our review article. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_cardiac_pacemaker#mediaviewer/File:First_pacemaker_(Siemens-Elema_1958).jpg) I hope many people to read our review article for educational purpose.

All these photos mentioned above (and some more) are contained in the book ISBN 978-3-902589-51-4 . Book author is Heidi Brunnbauer. With one single exception, we have the written permission by the book author to upload all photos from her book CDROM (one large PDF), including the ones mentioned above. The only exception being photo #49 on page 81 of the book. Please tell me the best way how we can get this confirmation via Commons:OTRS, if necessary to prevent deletion of my uploaded files. I, a resident of Graz, had Heidi Brunnbauer, a resident of Vienna/Austria, send an appropriate permission form to [email protected] on 15. September 2014 08:52:

Die oben genannten Dateinamen sind in dieser FREIGABE nicht explizit angeführt, da ich sie erst beim Hinaufladen von der Buch-CDROM vergeben habe. Weitere werden folgen (Dateinamen stehen noch nicht fest). Die einzige Ausnahme, auf welche sich (nach einer späteren Mitteilung der Autorin) ihre Freigabe für die im Buch enthaltenen Photos definitiv nicht bezieht, gedenke ich zu beachten (#49 Mutter und Kind, Weidenholzplastik, Bes.: Artothek des Bundes).
Von einer WM-Reaktion auf die von der Buchautorin erwähnte Weiterleitung der Permission an [email protected] ist mir nichts bekannt. Hätte damals eine OTRS-Ticketnummer ausgestellt werden müssen ? Bitte um Rat. Hommageur (talk) 19:12, 16 October 2014 (UTC)
- Hommageur, the problem is that normally photographers are the copyright holder for their own photos, unless they transfer the rights by operation of law or by contract. In addition, permission from a book author is not always sufficient because the rights may well lie with the publishers. The only way to find out is for you to contact the publishers or identify the photographers and contact them. The copyright holder(s) would need to send an email to OTRS with a full license statement (see COM:ET). Ask them to make sure they fill it out properly and to include relevant details.

Files uploaded by Klokus
The file descriptions for following files contain some pretty unlikely claims even though they've supposedly been vetted:
All of these are claimed to have been created by the subjects of the photos, but the photos don't look like selfies, and there is no metadata to indicate that they were taken using a timer release or remote control. What steps have been taken to ensure that the permission came from the right person and that the correct person is attributed as the author? —LX (talk, contribs) 11:18, 16 August 2014 (UTC)
- While you're at it, you might want to take a look at tickets associated with the following accounts, as they are all confirmed sockpuppets:
- —LX (talk, contribs) 12:54, 16 August 2014 (UTC)
- LX, you don't ask for much, do you? :P
- File:RahimHirji.jpg was handled by Ankry and appears to be correctly licensed but there is a Flickr account with much larger images and the email address might need more verification because it isn't from an associated website of the copyright holder.
- File:Heart-IQ-Coach.png was handled by Sphilbrick and appears to be correctly licensed.
- File:CelesteStoneyWorldArts.jpg appears to be correctly licensed and was handled by Krd.
- The Wikipedia puppets will take a bit longer. Green Giant (talk) 17:28, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
- LX, you don't ask for much, do you? :P
- That doesn't really answer my question. By "appears to be correctly licensed", do you mean that there is some kind of explanation of why the people listed as authors of these photos that they appear in and which appear to have been authored by other people? If not, I think those tickets need to be declared invalid and followed up to determine the real authorship. —LX (talk, contribs) 17:42, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
- Without wanting to divulge the email contents, Heart-IQ-Coach belongs to Gabriel Gonsalves and the email was from an address associated with his own website whilst Celeste Stoney sent an email from her own website. Rahim Hijri's photo was taken by a very close family member, but as I said above there are issues that need clarification. Green Giant (talk) 18:12, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
- OK, I think that's more than enough confirmation of the fishiness about the ticket for File:RahimHirji.jpg, so I nominated it for deletion. Personally, I'm inclined to consider any upload associated with dozens upon dozens of sockpuppets as toxic, and I'm still not satisfied that the information for the other files is correct, so I may nominate those too. Thanks, —LX (talk, contribs) 18:41, 4 October 2014 (UTC)

- Polly Jameson (talk · contribs · logs · block log)
- When evaluating these tickets, keep in mind that these are confirmed sockpuppets. Not only should that be factored in when considering how trustworthy the submitter is, but it also means that the attribution for several of these photos is a completely made-up name. I hope this won't take another couple of months. I know OTRS is backlogged, but as I'm sure you can tell, when dealing with the kind of editor that has a financial incentive to create sockpuppets and ignore silly things like copyright laws and our policies, the more you wait, the bigger the pile gets. —LX (talk, contribs) 18:07, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
- I don't mind going through them all but it might take some time given there are 33 uploads between the six remaining accounts. Green Giant (talk) 18:12, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
- I'd also like to add the tickets associated with the following confirmed sockpuppets to the list to investigate:
- I have gone through the latter four first:
- Hazel Boyd uploaded File:AlexSimon.jpg and the email was sent from the subject's own website. There has been no response in 30 days since an email was sent asking for more details. Clarkcj12 might have more information.
- Jenny Stolehorst uploaded File:PremierTeam.png, File:PremierTeam2.jpg and File:PremierTeam1.jpg, which were licensed by email from the company website. Handled by me.
- Eliza Heart uploaded File:TheCondomPledge.png (which could probably be a PD-logo), File:TCPgroupshot2.jpg and File:TCPgroupshot.jpg, the latter two of which were licensed by the organization's founding director. The author line needs changing but I will wait for Sphilbrick who handled that ticket.
- I changed the author's name to the name included in the permission statement for the latter two.--Sphilbrick (talk) 15:55, 5 October 2014 (UTC)
- Polly Jameson uploaded File:Red(artist).jpeg and the email address is the one found on the artist's Facebook page, which is linked from her official website.
- I have gone through the latter four first:
- I will try to tackle the two remaining ones shortly. Green Giant (talk) 18:56, 4 October 2014 (UTC)

About my pictures and the behaviour of an admin
Hello, I've been using this account for many years now for many different though related people, mostly Frédéric Ducarme, Philippe Bourjon and Elisabeth Morcel (all French photographers, including one professional researcher). We have sent OTRS mails for each one of these persons months ago, and exchanged e-mails with OTRS people who said all was ok. Bots were supposed to fix the pictures (>1500), but it seems that it is not done yet - I have no problem with it, I can wait.
But user:Biopics does not seem so patient : as he perfectly knows that the mails have been received and are currently being processed, he keeps posting me image supression threats, whereas we discussed this case many times with him, and other admins ruled in my favor and asked him to stop bullying me. But apparently this did not stop him, and he has been harrassing me for months now, repeatedly and insistently, and keeps his talk page locked, saying that he is inactive ! This time it has gone too far for me, and I now have to complain for real about him (I warned him many times already), and ask for a suspension of his account for repeated harrassment. As he is supposed to be "inactive", this would probably not affect him much ! Thanks for helping solving this issue and best regards, FredD (talk) 23:19, 29 October 2014 (UTC)

Fuck by Christopher Fairman
I'd really appreciate it if this OTRS request could be expedited quickly please.
There's an ongoing discussion on English Wikipedia at w:Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/Fuck: Word Taboo and Protecting Our First Amendment Liberties and one respondent there requested we remove the image in the blurb text of the author himself, and instead replace it with the image of the book cover.
I contacted the publisher and was successfully able to obtain free-use-license for the book cover.
It would be most helpful to have this image hosted here locally at Wikimedia Commons instead of at each project site, as the article is now a Featured Article quality page both on English Wikipedia and also in the version at Chinese Wikipedia.
Thanks very much, I really appreciate it !!!

OTRS check
Hello! Can you please check, if we have received permission from [email protected] ? There should be two emails sent from him. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Melberg (talk • contribs) 13:07, 26 October 2014 (UTC)
- The good news is that the emails have been received from Beka Kokaia and merged into one ticket. The bad news is that only one of the four images has been licensed properly (File:Free University of Tbilisi Garden.JPG) because Beka's name is in the EXIF data. File:Kakha Bendukidze.jpg seems to be part of a set of photos, including one at tabula.ge which credits the photo to "ხათუნა ხუციშვილი" (Xatuna Khucishvili). I feel certain that the Commons photo would also be by this person. File:Kakha Bendukidze2 (1).jpg has EXIF data which credits "Ivan Savisko" who I believe is a Ukrainian freelance photographer. I'm not sure how Beka or the university represent these two people but I have sent a reply asking for clarification. On this basis we cannot accept the license for File:Free University of Tbilisi Library.jpg either because we have no information on who took the photo. Green Giant (talk) 15:42, 26 October 2014 (UTC)

OTRS Permission Sent - Please Resolve - Ticket#2014100510008894 - File:PVC Recipients.jpg
The OTRS Ticket Number for this image is 2014100510008894. I do not know why OTRS volunteers are unable to resolve this matter in a proper, efficient manner. The copyright holder of this image forwarded the email which he sent to OTRS permissions with the release. I have RE-Forwarded it to OTRS and I am asking them to look for the original email in their system. This is really turning into an unnecessary hassle. Could an OTRS volunteer please proved an update as to what the confusion is? Myopia123 (talk) 17:59, 5 November 2014 (UTC)
- Green Giant was the volunteer who originally handled this one, but I can confirm that permission has been sent, so I've marked it as confirmed on the image page. I suspect that there may be a disagreement, so I invite Green Giant to leave any comments here. Anon126 (✉ ⚒) 06:51, 6 November 2014 (UTC)
- Notify Myopia123. Anon126 (✉ ⚒) 06:51, 6 November 2014 (UTC)
- The issue with that ticket is that your friend emailed us on 6 October and I replied on 7 October, asking for two vital pieces of information. Firstly we need permission from the person who took the photo. Your friend is in the photo, which means that either someone else took the photo or they used a timer. Secondly he emailed us from a Gmail account but his Twitter account mentioned a different email account. So I asked him to reply from that account to confirm his identity but there has been no reply. It is all well and fine asking us to handle the ticket in a "proper efficient manner" but bear in mind we are volunteers too and I do this in my spare time. The ball has been in your friends court for a month so perhaps you, as the uploader, should ask him why he hasn't replied? In the meantime I am resetting the ticket on the file to Received.

Permiso para utilizar unas páginas (un fragmento) de Doña Bárbara
Buenos días:
Les escribo para pedir permiso para usar unas páginas (el capítulo "Los rebullones") de la novela Doña Bárbara por Rómulo Gallegos. Estará en mi antología Novelas predilectas y será el texto de mi curso avanzado de literatura, Selected Topics SPAN411. Originalmente, seleccioné este texto: RÓMULO GALLEGOS: Selección de Doña Bárbara, requiero el permiso de Colección Austral, no.168, Trigésima Tercera Edición, Herederos de 1929, Editorial Espasa-Calpe, S.A., Madrid, 1975, págs.129-136. ISBN: 84-239-0168-8. Sin embargo, Grupo Planeta no me puede ayudar con el permiso para utilizar esta obra por decirme que era una novela demasiada vieja. Así no puede concluir que está en el dominio público porque mi editorial, Common Ground Publisher (en España) no la considera parte de ese grupo. ¿Hay algo que pueda hacer para ayudarme con este problema? Este es mi ULTIMO permiso necesario para empezar el proceso de maquetización de mi libro y no quiero esperar más. Tengo una carta lista para los herederos de Gallegos si es necesario ponerme encontacto con unmiembro de esa familia. Les agradezco mucho su tiempo.

reuse of an image for a Facebook fanpage
Hi Please can I reuse an image on the following Wikipedia article, it is for a facebook fan page of the ford racing puma, thankyou File:S16_fd_ford.jpg
- Unfortunately, no. In order to upload an image to Facebook, you must agree to their terms of use, which contain provisions which are contrary to the CC license which the image is available under. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 03:29, 6 November 2014 (UTC)
- Actually, yes. Initially, there was an option to upload images under a CC license on Facebook. Now, this option is not available anymore, but Facebook doesn't own your pictures and videos. It says: you grant us a non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, worldwide license to use any IP content that you post. Since it is not exclusive, you can grant a different license of Commons. Regards, Yann (talk) 09:43, 6 November 2014 (UTC)
- Unfortunately, that's not correct. Only the copyright owner can grant such a license. For more details, see the Wikilegal post. —Luis Villa (WMF) (talk) 14:45, 6 November 2014 (UTC)
- Yes, sorry. I misread the question. Obviously, my answer is only valid for your own pictures. Regards, Yann (talk) 14:47, 6 November 2014 (UTC)
- @LuisV (WMF) and Yann: If I'm not mistaken, practically every site with user-generated content has a condition similar to Facebook's. Maybe for Facebook this is inconsequential, as it's mostly original content there. But what about a site like YouTube, where users often rely on others' work? This interpretation would imply that no CC-licensed material (under any of the licenses, free or not) can be shared on any such website.
- I believe that Sections 8(a)-(b) in the 3.0 Unported licenses and Section 2(a)(5) in the 4.0 International licenses resolve this: Under these provisions, the copyright owner grants all recipients the same license.

Are the images I find on commons.wikimedia.org free to use commercially? I'm a student/designer making a brochure for a state-funded program. They will use it as their own. Am I able to use the images I find on wikimedia for the brochure?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Academic_regalia_in_the_United_States
- In principle, yes, as long as you give credit (Commons:Credit line talks about what information you need to include).
- However, some images are under Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike ("CC BY-SA") licenses, which means that, if you use those images, you have to let other people share and use your brochure in the same way, under the same Creative Commons license. Anon126 (✉ ⚒) 22:00, 11 November 2014 (UTC)
- As far as I know, CC BY-SA does not mean that you have to allow re-use under the same licence (this applies to every licence in Commons), but it means that if you make derivative work you must, if you publish it, release it under the same or a compatible licence. Allan J. Aguilar (Ralgis) 03:55, 15 November 2014 (UTC)
- Yes, that is technically correct for many licenses, but I'm not sure if and how I should explain the CC ShareAlike compatibility system. And I think it can be presumed that the brochures are going to be published.
- (I say "for many licenses" because some licenses [like CC BY-SA 1.0 and GFDL 1.2 only] don't have a compatibility mechanism; it indeed must be the same license.)

Newer files in Category:Raphaël Toussaint (probably French-language permission)
Someone at Commons:Help_desk#Use_of_images_by_Artist_Raphael_Toussaint just asked about commercial usage of those files.
- Could you double-check the OTRS-tickets for File:Fleurs au chat par Raphaël Toussaint.jpg and File:La Vendée illustrée par Raphaël Toussaint.jpg under ticket:2010012810033561 please? The images were tagged, most likely in good faith, by the non-OTRS uploader.
- Secondly, the category also includes several more uploads from 2011. Is the ticket (back from 2010) really vague enough to allow later uploads without additional permission? (the previous OTRS-agent handling the ticket seems to be inactive)
- Would be great, if anyone with more OTRS-experience could give additional advice at the help desk thread.

License should be checked
In the page of File:Ashura cutting.jpg there's a box saying that "...it is unknown whether that license ever was valid". I think it requires attention and the copy right status should be checked. Mhhossein (talk) 06:10, 30 November 2014 (UTC)
- The text is displayed as part of a template which is used when Flickr image licenses have been checked. The reason it says that is that Flickr allows users to change license at whim without any publicly viewable record, despite licenses being irrevocable. We use the template to confirm that the license was acceptable at that point but it may have been changed at another time. The file has been deleted as a copyright violation because the Flickr user is not the copyright holder of the image and therefore cannot license it anyway. This is a MAJOR failing on the part of Flickr and similar sites which simply don't care if users are breaking laws as long as the site is profitable. (The last bit is my own opinion).

Confirming Permission for Using Image
I was looking into using the following file: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Blausen_0592_KidneyAnatomy_01.png
The permission section noted that "The permission to use this work has been archived in the Wikimedia OTRS system", ticket #2013061010006654. The licensing seems to be a CC Attribution 3.0 Unported, with the author listing his preferred citation.

File:Giovanni Cappelletti.jpg
Could someone please review the ticket associated to the said picture? It comes from a 2012 magazine and the permission has seemingly been conceeded by the photographed person's nephew. The only two figures who could possibly grant permission are either the magazine or the photographer themself. In addition to that, the uploader's IP is associated to another it.wiki user (see CU) whose contributions are currently under scrutiny for improper licencing. -- SERGIO (aka the Blackcat) 21:07, 30 November 2014 (UTC)
- Please, could someone review the above mentioned ticket? There's a possible case of sockpuppetry and suspect abuse on it.wiki, and I need to know who and how was released that licence. -- SERGIO (aka the Blackcat) 22:44, 3 December 2014 (UTC)
- Blackcat, the uploader sent an email with an attached PDF that the uploader says is from the nephew. It has a copy of the photo and appears to say that the image was published in the Verona Fedele with his permission and then has a license statement. Green Giant (talk) 23:48, 3 December 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks, Green Giant. The problem is, that on it.wiki we are not exactly sure that it's about a valid authorization. First of all, a check-user on it.wiki has revealed that there are more than one users at the same IP with the same story of uploads and unconvincing licencing. Then the photos are regularily taken from magazines. If you are the legitimate owner of the photograph's rights you must also have an original copy of the photograph itself, then why do not use that original photo instead of scanning it from a magazine? Also note that the photograph has been uploaded on Commons after a deletion on it.wiki just because no one was convinced of its source.

- Thanks, Green Giant. The problem is, that on it.wiki we are not exactly sure that it's about a valid authorization. First of all, a check-user on it.wiki has revealed that there are more than one users at the same IP with the same story of uploads and unconvincing licencing. Then the photos are regularily taken from magazines. If you are the legitimate owner of the photograph's rights you must also have an original copy of the photograph itself, then why do not use that original photo instead of scanning it from a magazine? Also note that the photograph has been uploaded on Commons after a deletion on it.wiki just because no one was convinced of its source. Our suspect is that the declared source of that photograph is at least questionable if not false at all. -- SERGIO (aka the Blackcat) 00:36, 4 December 2014 (UTC)
- Blackcat, the uploader sent an email with an attached PDF that the uploader says is from the nephew. It has a copy of the photo and appears to say that the image was published in the Verona Fedele with his permission and then has a license statement. Green Giant (talk) 23:48, 3 December 2014 (UTC)

My image upload was nominated for deletion and a request was made for an OTRS submission to confirm my release of rights. There are only two days left until the image is deleted but I would appreciate if someone could review the ticket as this is my first upload to commons and first OTRS use. Thank you. Paraculo (talk) 20:00, 2 December 2014 (UTC)
- Greetings Paraculo: The image was nominated for deletion because"Reason for the nomination: Photograph credited in the author field to Dana Patrick (a professional photographer [1]) uploaded as own work, verification needed through COM:OTRS that the uploader is Dana Patrick as claimed." Since the credit is to Dana Patrick, and since your user name is Paraculo, we need you to go to COM:OTRS and fill out their email form which will show that you are the same person as Dana Patrick. No one but you can do this. An email only takes a few seconds. Cheers! Ellin Beltz (talk) 15:58, 3 December 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks Ellin Beltz I submitted the email permission form on the 1st Dec from my main business email address which identifies me as Dana Patrick. Do I need to send another form? I'm confused now. My query above was asking not why the image was nominated for deletion and what to do about it, but to ask someone (an OTRS volunteer) to check what I have submitted. Does that mean you've checked my OTRS permissions email and I need to send something else? Paraculo (talk) 17:42, 3 December 2014 (UTC)

(OTRS ticket #2014120210002052) Jim has informed me that unless the OTRS email comes from an address @danapatrick.com my upload will be deleted. However the gmail address I used is clearly associated with the site www.danapatrickphoto.com - If you do a whois http://who.is/whois/danapatrickphoto.com it will give you that same address as the registrant. Has been that way since 2006. That should be a strong enough link between email address and website for OTRS purposes shouldn't it? Paraculo (talk) Paraculo (talk) 17:12, 4 December 2014 (UTC)
- There is no e-mail address of any kind that I found on either www.danapatrickphoto.com or www.danapatrick.com. While I would certainly accept the gmail address if it were listed in either place, I don't see it, hence my request for an e-mail from an address at danapatrick.com. Please remember that our procedures are intended to protect copyright holders from imposters, of whom we see many. . Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 19:22, 4 December 2014 (UTC)
Jim, I appreciate that this is all in the name of verification to prevent imposters claiming copyright ownership. I can see that the previous image uploaded by someone else had a problem and this may be contributing to your veracity. I am trying to follow the OTRS guide. It says "your email address must be associated with the website or listed on the contact page of the website." It is not listed on http://www.danapatrickphoto.com as I prefer people to use a contact form (this is fairly common). However you can check that the email address registered as the owner of the site on any whois, like the link I gave, is the same as that used to send the OTRS. It is my business address and is listed as such online eg http://www.killerheadshots.com/Dana-Patrick-Photography The OTRS guide I quoted above says the email address must be associated with a website OR listed on its contact page. I am aware it isn't listed on the site: my point is that it can be clearly associated with the website, as the owner of the website, using a whois. You asked at the nomination page why it's a problem to send from an address of your choice (you requested @danapatrick.com). The answer is that it is possible but will take time as I have never set up or used any email with that domain. Obviously with time I can- as I own the domain. But it has to be done specially to meet your request, when it appeared that OTRS guidelines are not as specific as you - merely needing an association with a website rather than a specific domain name. Paraculo (talk) 20:20, 4 December 2014 (UTC)
- Done now -- you are quite correct that whois can be used to verify the e-mail address -- I've never used it for that purpose before, so it not occur to me to try it. Sorry for the delay. . Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 11:32, 5 December 2014 (UTC)
Thank you Jim - appreciate the vigilance and help. Paraculo (talk) 18:49, 5 December 2014 (UTC)

Changing from "No license since" to "OTRS pending"
I added {{No license since}} templates to File:Converted ON LSD Trip.jpg, File:Converted on LSD 2ndEd.jpeg, and File:Converted on LSD.jpg uploaded by 519Clarke on November 30, 2014 because they were being claimed as "own work" even though they had been published on other websites. I felt this in accordance with "I am the copyright owner but my picture has been previously published" and based upon a reply to this Village Pump post. "519Clarke" has responded by saying "I am the copy write[sic] holder of the following book covers and I have informed Wiki Commons via email on a number of occasions (...)". Would it be acceptable to change the "No license since" templates to {{OTRS pending}} templates based upon 519Clarke's Villiage Pump post? Thank you in advance. - Marchjuly (talk) 01:21, 4 December 2014 (UTC)
- Hi Marchjuly, great that you have taken up this matter. No harm is done if this turns out to be a different email adress. I think you can add the template. Be bold and go for it. All the best, Taketa (talk) 12:51, 4 December 2014 (UTC)
- Marchjuly, you can't added the pending template unless you know the ticket numbers. I believe that an alarm goes off if a non-OTRS person adds it. I had a quick look this morning and noted emails for these files, one if which I'd already responded to. I will go through them and add the pending template this afternoon unless someone else does it before me. Green Giant (talk) 14:40, 4 December 2014 (UTC)
- That template is made for non-OTRS people to place on files they uploaded. It is used to inform the admins that an email was send and give the file some more time. It would make no sense if you need a ticketnumber or be an agent to use it. You are probably thinking of {{OTRS received}} instead. -- Taketa (talk) 20:25, 4 December 2014 (UTC)
- Thank you Taketa and Green Giant. Not sure either way, but I'm glad I asked. I am sure though that it will be sorted out now that others are looking at it. Thanks again. - Marchjuly (talk) 22:03, 4 December 2014 (UTC)

{{Verified account}}
Hi, I just wanted to let you know that I tagged an account previously blocked for username reasons with this new template. It currently does neither set any categories, give the user any special permissions nor have any influence on the copyright status of his/her uploads. It is meant to transparently prevent the user from getting blocked again. FDMS 4 17:07, 25 November 2014 (UTC)
- Since when do we have or even need verified account at Commons? As this doesn't replace any OTRS permission ticket it does hardly make any sense to verify users, as it doesn't make sense to block them just because of their username. --Krd 17:10, 25 November 2014 (UTC)
- Because we don't have a username policy, it is up to admins' discretion whether or not to declare usernames inappropriate. In the past, in my opinion unfortunately, many admins have decided to block users with usernames of well-known persons or organisations. FDMS 4 17:18, 25 November 2014 (UTC)
- It looks like a bad idea to do so, as long as we don't have procedure how to handle resulting unblock requests. There is no verified account procedure at OTRS for Commons. --Krd 17:22, 25 November 2014 (UTC)

Backlog count needs an update
At the top of this page there appears the text, "The current backlog of the (English) permissions-commons queue is: 12 days." However, I've got requests in the queue which are almost a week older than that. I see Commons:OTRS/backlog hasn't been updated since 25 October. Perhaps an OTRS volunteer could revise the number to its current value? —Psychonaut (talk) 09:41, 12 December 2014 (UTC)

Regarding this Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Assessment/Runaway Scrape, I had the above image in the article Runaway Scrape. A reviewer mentioned the image needs a US freedom of panorama licence/tag added to the image description page. Because this has an ORTS tag on it, I need to confirm the permission.

I know that not all photo metadata is accurate. If the camera dating was not set correctly, for example. But the fact that the metadata day is April 20 indicates that the dating is accurate since it fits with the subject of the photo. --Timeshifter (talk) 21:11, 25 December 2014 (UTC)

Could someone have a look at this[26] deletion debate? An OTRS email was received in the end, but apparently it was not sufficient. As I indicated in the deletion nomination "Attribution" could strictly speaking be sufficient, based on what is stated at the subject's website. Buxtehude (talk) 15:47, 14 December 2014 (UTC)
- The ticket is ticket:2014110610010994, but it doesn't actually contain a permission statement of any sort.

Licensing www.tirolfoto.at and OTRS templates
Hi, Dkovacicg is not OTRS member, despite he added OTRS permissions [27], [28]... Probably all images from www.tirolfoto.at need OTRS template (e.g. [29]), so in my view — all such uploads under {{Cc-zero}} without OTRS are incorrect.--Kacir (talk) 04:50, 26 December 2014 (UTC)

Permission request of Fukushima I by Digital Globe.jpg
Dear OTRS Team:
My name is Jiaqun. I am working on a Chinese language textbook project at Brigham Young University led by Dr. Dana Bourgerie. The text is called Learning Chinese through Global Debate is to be published by Georgetown University Press sometime next year.
In developing the text, we came across an Image :Fukushima I by Digital Globe.jpg, ticket #2011031710013124. (http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Fukushima_I_by_Digital_Globe.jpg). With your permission, we would like use the image in the textbook with citation of the source. I look forward to hearing from you at your earliest convenience.
Also, if there is a file with a higher resolution, please let me know. Thanks!
Best regards, Jiaqun Wang

Permission
I don´t know if I am right here, but i sent an e-mail (according to this templates) in which i told the owner of the pictures to send his permission to use his pictures to this "[email protected]" e-mail-adress. How do i know now, if i have the permission to use the pictures? --Impériale (talk) 21:50, 25 December 2014 (UTC)
- Impériale, an OTRS agent could check but we need some more information e.g. the name of the file(s). Green Giant (talk) 22:39, 25 December 2014 (UTC)
- I need this picture but i didn´t upload it yet. Or should I upload it first and then ask for permission? The more I look on this page, the more do I think that I need all pictures of this page. Please consider this if you go on :) --Impériale (talk) 22:54, 25 December 2014 (UTC)
- I have just checked the commons queues at OTRS and there does not appear to be an email about this. I would recommend that you forward your email conversation to the same Wikimedia email address. Then upload the images that you have permission for and add the {{OTRS pending}} template in either the license section or the permissions line together with the license that has been set. This will give thirty days for the copyright holders email to come through. If there is no sign of anything happening, ask at this noticeboard again after a couple of weeks. If the files are deleted, and the permission email comes through later, the files can easily be restored. Green Giant (talk) 23:48, 25 December 2014 (UTC)

- User:Impériale has raised an interesting question, for those of us who are still new to Commons but haven't been able to find a clear answer. How exactly will we be notified when permission has been approved/rejected? Will an OTRS volunteer respond to our e-mail(s) or will existing images on Commons just be tagged for deletion/OTRS approval depending on the decision? --Katangais (talk) 21:45, 11 January 2015 (UTC)
- If it is a file that you have uploaded, then you should add it to your watchlist, which will ensure you are notified if and when the file is tagged by anyone. You can do this by clicking on the "watch" tab at the top of the page. If, as in this case, you have no idea when the copyright holder will send their e-mail, then I would recommend asking at this noticeboard every once in a while, but maybe not every day. If you have had a reply from the copyright holder, then you can upload the file, mark it with {{subst:OP}} and ask the copyright holder to include the URL of the Commons file in their email. At the moment, the backlog in the queues I have access to is currently more than 700 emails. A lot of them are spammers using the Christmas/New Year period to send out their "contributions" to world peace etc. I have searched for various combinations of the website name, the brand name and "Impériale" but there is nothing. It would be worthwhile contacting the copyright holder again and asking whether they have sent the license yet. It is always helpful if you ask them to include your e-mail address in the CC line.

Should CCBYSA be removed from this recent scan of an 1885 French photograph?
The file Esprit Jouffret.jpg [35] is marked CC-BY-SA (per OTRS ticket #2014081810018327), however that file is a scan of the underlying photograph, which was taken in 1885 and therefore should be in the public domain. Since the scan does not add originality/authorship, shouldn't the file be marked as public domain-expired too?
There is a nod to this in the file's source: "Scan of the original photograph Photo de famille. Tombée dans le domaine public, pas de droits d'auteurs / date 1885." Google translates "Tombée dans le domaine public" as "fallen into the public domain."
Can we update the license on this file to PD? Thanks. --Bradleee
- Who was the photographer and in which year did he die? --Krd 19:26, 3 November 2014 (UTC)
- Unsure who the photographer was (though the file does indicate that it was a "family photo"). My question was more about internal consistency: some data about the photo explicitly says (albeit in French) that it is PD, while it is also tagged CC-BY-SA. Both can't be correct. Is there a way to dig into OTRS and see whether they addressed this issue in the initial review? --Bradleee
- French speaker required. --Krd 22:11, 7 December 2014 (UTC)
- @Yann: please could you have a look at this? Green Giant (talk) 01:57, 9 January 2015 (UTC)
- Seeing the date, there is little doubt that the author is dead for more than 70 years (born around 1860 or before). IMO the license should be {{Anonymous-EU}} or {{PD-old-70}}. Regards, Yann (talk) 12:48, 9 January 2015 (UTC)

- In the EU the first publisher of a previously unpublished work is entitled to a 25 year publication right, even if the original copyright term has expired. If this is a family photo that has never previously been made available to the public, it is possible that the upload by the contributor to Commons is the first publication of the photo, and as such the scan will not be PD in France until January 1, 2038. I don't think we can remove the CC-BY-SA license without details about the publication and exhibition history of this photo. However, if we know the original photographer has been dead for 70 years, the license could probably be changed to {{Licensed-PD-Art|PD-old-70|Cc-by-sa-3.0-heirs}}. —RP88 (talk) 02:43, 9 January 2015 (UTC)

Remembering of OTRS ticket for File:Himno-Nacional-Orquestado.ogg
Previous UnDR | ||
---|---|---|
The undeletion discussion in the following section is now closed. Please do not make any edits to this archive. This file has been nominated by Green Giant, indicating the Privacy Policies of the SECOM (based on the the Decree 100 of 2006) forbids the comermcial uses of the media published in the government Websites. But, in 2010, Ena von Baer wrote and published the Oficio Ord. 112/14 in reference of the Law 19.032, that explicitilly instructs all the media released by the Government of Chile and its institutions must be licensed under the CC-BY. Therefore, all the media works (pictures, audio and video) released/published after the December 30 of 2010 are automatically covered under the {{CC-GobCL}}, according to the current Law. Also, the Article 4 of the Decree 14 0f 2014 derogated the Decree 100 of 2006, making the Privacy Policies indicated by Green Giant also derogated and not longer valid. Only the Oficio Ord. 112/14 of 2010, the Law 19.799 and the Law 19.032 (and other Laws) are now valid and legal for this effect. So, this older file is also covered under the CC-BY license. In summary, the file is efefctivelly covered under the CC-BY license according to the current Chilean Laws. So, please undelete this file. Anyway, I' ve contacted to the Government of Chile according to the Ley de Transparencia, in order to clarify the doubts of the non-chilean people that are not familiar with the Chilean laws, and specifically, the licensing of the National Anthem of Chile. --Amitie 10g (talk) 19:52, 12 November 2014 (UTC)
Update: I just recived the answer from the Government of Chile. The official answer says the file is efefctivelly covered under the CC-BY license. Bellow is the email recived (in spanish) (publicly available according to the Ley de Transparencia):
Therefore, please restore this file. Anyway, I sended a message to OTRS. --Amitie 10g (talk) 19:11, 17 November 2014 (UTC)
Procedural close as currently inactionable; this needs to be resolved via OTRS when we hear back from the presidency of Chile anyways -FASTILY 19:17, 22 November 2014 (UTC) |
I've previously requested the UnD of this file. After requesting information to the Government of Chile. I recived some answers from the Govenrment of Chile with official doccuments attached, and then, I resended these message to OTRS team.
I' ve contacted OTRS team three months ago for this and other files released by the Government of Chile, but they didn't answered them.
This issue has been discussed several times and affects this and several files released by the Government of Chile. Most of these files were nominated/deleted by non-chilean users that are unfamiliar with the Government of Chile licensing.
By law, all works released by the Government of Chile after December 30 of 2010 are released under the CC-BY license, This is already discussed in the Template talk:CC-GobCL. No doubts about them, unless the Government of Chile are amateurs when licensing their works. --Amitie 10g (talk) 18:54, 3 March 2015 (UTC)
- @Amitie 10g: The OTRS ticket you are referring to is partially in Spanish, and you have not responded to the question asked by an agent in it. There is another related ticket from 2015-01-01 which is entirely in Spanish and has not been processed yet. FDMS 4 19:17, 3 March 2015 (UTC) Ping User:Jcb. FDMS 4 19:20, 3 March 2015 (UTC)
- Sorry, but I didn't recived any answer in all my three email addressess (that is the reason why I'm leaving a mesage here). Is too hard to translate the message? As OTRS member, you're responsible to understand and answer these tickets, not me.
- Me and many chilean users know very well the chilean laws, but for the non-chilean users (including Administrators and OTRS members) is easier to nominate/delete files than researching, specially if files released by the Government of Chiile after 2010 are covered under the CC-BY license by law!
- This is a huge problem of misunderstanding a 2010 chilean law! Most Administrators and OTRS members should already know them, but several of them still doing mistakes with these files. Chilean users should explain once and once again this, with official documents from the Government of Chile. I have no more time for play with the Government of Chile and non-chilean users that don't know the chilean laws. --Amitie 10g (talk) 19:55, 3 March 2015 (UTC)
- There seem to be several misunderstandings here. Firstly, OTRS members are volunteers. Secondly, evidence of the PD status has to be comprehensibly documented on the respective file description pages themselves, making use of specific PD templates and/or the permission field; this is not only because Commons is an international project. I will let the Spanish-speaking agent deal with the copyright status and/or contacting you again. FDMS 4 20:16, 3 March 2015 (UTC)
- @Amitie 10g: I think you may help handling OTRS in Spanich tickets if you help finding more Spanish speaking candidates for OTRS members team. As I can see there is a very long delay handling the permissions-commons-es queue. Ankry (talk) 11:51, 4 March 2015 (UTC)
- I know very well the OTRS team, like the other users, are volunteers,and also they may have a huge ammount of tickets that they must review one by one. Therefore, is a good idea to help OTRS team as experienced user.
- And sorry, but I'm still consternated with the several {{CC-GobCL}} cases that we must address to Commons, and I need to request Transparency information again. I'm trying to assume good faith with other users, but laterly this becomes somewhat hard.
