Revert deletion ticket:2018111210006079

Hi,

We sent OTRS email for following files but haven't been processed yet and then suddenly deleted. Could you please have a look. Thank you. --22Kartika (talk) 14:06, 6 January 2019 (UTC)

22Kartika: Considering the, up to 200+ day backlog in the OTRS system, this one month old ticket might take some time to process or the OTRS agent handing it is not available right now. Please have patience but remember that the files, deleted for now, will be restored when a suitable permission statement has been verified. Ww2censor (talk) 14:49, 6 January 2019 (UTC)

@Krd: can you take a look? --Ganímedes (talk) 13:05, 7 January 2019 (UTC)

No, please contact the deleting admin. There may be reasons for the deletion. --Krd 14:02, 7 January 2019 (UTC)

As you may know, ticket ownership is completely irrelevant. Feel free to take it and process further. --Krd 16:04, 7 January 2019 (UTC)

Ww2censor: Thank you for your explanation. Those files are actually related to our offline project and if we need to wait for 200 days then the project will be over by then. I hope it sounds like a reasonable consideration.--22Kartika (talk) 17:02, 7 January 2019 (UTC)

Ticket:2018070310009663

Last year in July I left a message here about permission to use an image I uploaded ([1]). The response I received was to wait 90+ days. I did so, 6 months actually, and instead of a response the image was deleted. Can someone please look into the ticket number and restore the image? It would be greatly appreciated. --Salandco (talk) 01:00, 13 January 2019 (UTC)

The backlog of the queue it's around 200 days so far, with over 100 tickets from that time. There is an open discussion about this above. Regards. --Ganímedes (talk) 01:15, 13 January 2019 (UTC)

@Salandco, Sxysoul29, and Fornicras: I concur with my colleagues on this. It is interesting to note that three different users have uploaded File:The Weeknd.jpg.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 03:54, 13 January 2019 (UTC)

A file with this name was uploaded three times, but the file name is not very specific, and there is a time of one year between the first and second deletion and three years between the second and the last deletion. Is it the same content? --C.Suthorn (talk) 05:23, 13 January 2019 (UTC)

No way to know without restore the file. Anyway, it´s no so unespecific the combination, IMHO, since include a combination of capital letters. --Ganímedes (talk) 09:38, 13 January 2019 (UTC)

@Salandco: The customer never answered to a simple request from the OTRS agent. We consider that, without a follow-up, the permission is invalid. --Ruthven (msg) 08:32, 15 January 2019 (UTC)

@Ruthven and Ganímedes: - This is a mess on our end. Sorry to initially waster your time. This is a different photo (at least I believe so as I cannot see the other one and it wasn't uploaded by me), but the photographer stated they never received a ticket number after sending the original email or any follow up email. It likely was deleted by them or got stuck in an email filter. In order to speed things up, I am uploading different files that I own the copyright too. I took them and they are part of my agency which I will send you the copyright information for shortly. That way we can cut out the middle person. --Salandco (talk) 01:12, 3 February 2019 (UTC)

It was previously located at this link - https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Mark_Rober_profile_picture.png - it was recently deleted as you did not have a permission statement from me. I have allowed the use of this screenshot for many media outlets and also on social media. I have granted you permission to use this under a sharealike license 4.0 as stated in my email. Please restore this image. Thank you in advance. --Mark2019R (talk) 23:04, 17 January 2019 (UTC)

@Mark2019R and Gimmemeeme: If a free license has been sent to OTRS, then the file will be restored automatically when and if the email is received, processed, and approved. Note that OTRS, like Commons, is entirely staffed by volunteers, and, also like Commons, is shorthanded, so it may be close to 5 days before the email is processed and the file is restored.

If the message was sent to the English language version of OTRS and the email has been properly received there the sender will receive an automatic reply with the ticket number. If the sender has not had a reply, please check that it was sent correctly and try again. Other language versions may or may not provide the automatic reply.

Reconsideration of deleted image [Ticket#: 2018082110002875]

Hi!

In August 2018 I uploaded a picture of Robert Mood, President of the Norwegian Red Cross. The picture was deleted. 14:55, 16 August 2018 Jcb (talk | contribs) deleted page File:Robert Mood Røde Kors.jpg (No source since 8 August 2018) https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Log?type=delete&user=&page=File%3ARobert+Mood+R%C3%B8de+Kors.jpg&wpdate=&tagfilter=&subtype=

August 21 2018 I sent an e-mail to [email protected] with a confirmation from the photographer that rights and upload are in order, and asked if it possible to reconsider the deletion of this image and restore it again. I still haven't heard anything, and the picture is still missing from commons. Is there any other way to get this sorted out, please?

I think I need help with this one. Permission for current and future uploads? --Ganímedes (talk) 19:32, 29 January 2019 (UTC)

Ganímedes This seems to be more of Commons issue then an OTRS one. Why are their files being marked as without permission? Chico Venancio (talk) 21:31, 29 January 2019 (UTC)

@Chicocvenancio: Maybe in this case, a custom license template would have been the best solution. Anyways, @Ganímedes: the permission is valid for all the "transcriptions and editions of medieval manuscripts" by User:Dovi with license CC by-sa 4.0 (the original works are themselves in the public domain). --Ruthven (msg) 10:49, 30 January 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for your attention. The reason I sent the request is because I found that even though I am the uploader of my own work, various files are periodically marked as without sufficient permission by administrators. Occasionally they have even been deleted (and then later reinstated following discussion). It would be nice to have a solution that would prevent the problem at the outset in the future. What might be the best way? Dovi (talk) 11:56, 30 January 2019 (UTC)

Dovi, I agree with Ruthven here "a custom license template would have been the best solution". You would create a template that explains the work is a derivative of a pd work and is licensed by you with a license of your choice. Chico Venancio (talk) 17:07, 30 January 2019 (UTC)

@Chicocvenancio and Dovi: I was more thinking about something like Template:CharlesGriffiths. You can ping me when it's done, so that I protect it. --Ruthven (msg) 18:58, 30 January 2019 (UTC)

Sure, whatever works. It does not seem like a case that OTRS should be involved at all to me, but I won't stand in the way of a solution. Chico Venancio (talk) 19:10, 30 January 2019 (UTC)

Thanks to you both. Ruthven, I've created a draft here. Does it look OK to you? Dovi (talk) 20:41, 30 January 2019 (UTC)

500px photos by Ioan Sendroiu

Dear OTRS volunteers: I've found an unusual situation (documented so far at Commons:Deletion requests/500px photos by Ioan Sendroiu). Someone named Ioan Sendroiu uploaded a number of photographs of Austria (marked as public domain) to the 500px website. Commons user Rodrigo.Argenton uploaded them to Commons:

• File:Altaussee (211571735).jpeg
• File:Grundlsee (222507137).jpeg
• File:Night (205566461).jpeg
• File:Chill (205080241).jpeg
• File:Winter (204937865).jpeg
• File:Grundlsee (204777593).jpeg
• File:Blue Hallstatt (204466021).jpeg
• File:Sunset (203652329).jpeg
• File:Altaussee (203791553).jpeg
• File:Moonrise (203502639).jpeg
• File:Frozen Grundlsee (203341807).jpeg
• File:Hallstatter See (203187435).jpeg

I noticed that the EXIF tags of the first seven of these photographs had a copyright by "BoAPiX Bo Albertus" and provided an email address. Rodrigo sent an email to that address, and the person responded that these were not their photographs.

This case (where a person listed as a copyright holder says they aren't the author) isn't covered by the directions at Commons:OTRS. I suggested that Rodrigo forward the email to OTRS and I have marked these photographs as OTRS pending.

Is sending such a authorship-denial email to [email protected] enough for OTRS? Is there anything else Rodrigo needs to do? — hike395 (talk) 04:29, 15 February 2019 (UTC)

@Hike395: Just checking to make sure I understand: These files have an ambiguous authorship and thus need to be deleted under COM:PCP? --AntiCompositeNumber (talk) 15:54, 15 February 2019 (UTC)

@AntiCompositeNumber: Yes, COM:PCP and ambiguous authorship is what motivated my deletion request. However, Rodrigo.Argenton says he has email that helps remove the ambiguity. — hike395 (talk) 16:00, 15 February 2019 (UTC)

@Hike395 and AntiCompositeNumber: ,

I email him, in a lack of response, I reach him by the Facebook, there he confirmed that he own the email, that his not the author of the photos.

I request to him send a email via boatromme.dk to permission, he answered that he would do at Feb 16 , so may be it's already there. I'm not a OTRS volunteer any more, I can't check it.

@Davidjose365: What do you mean by "recover" in this context? The file has not been deleted, and OTRS permission was added and the watermark was removed by Arthur Crbz.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 13:48, 11 February 2019 (UTC)

@Davidjose365: {{PermissionOTRS}} "is used to identify the OTRS ticket associated with the permission statement of that file. See Commons:OTRS for more information."

File:Envelope HRFricker(1990).jpg

Dear OTRS team, maybe you could quickly check whether the OTRS ticket mentioned really contains a release by Swiss artist H.R. Fricker who made this work, or a statement that Fricker transferred the rights to the person who released it under a CC-BY-SA license? I'm just a bit skeptical because the source is "Original scan by Keith Bates from the work in his Mail Art archive" which doesn't necessarily sound as if the collector had this kind of permission from the artist. Thanks! Gestumblindi (talk) 20:39, 1 March 2019 (UTC)

@Gestumblindi: Yes, Ticket:2010092310007487 really does contain a release by the artist.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 23:19, 1 March 2019 (UTC)

Ticket:2018072510007418 has been forgotten

Dear friends,

There is a current backlog of 49 days for the treatment of OTRS tickets. I would like to alert about the fact that the Ticket:2018072510007418 has been forgotten:

• The ticket is wating since July of 2018 (more than 200 days !!)
• More precisely, only 1 image out of 35 has been validated : File:Prince of Persia 1 - Amstrad CPC.png. I don't know why the treatment of the ticket has not been completed.
• The 34 other images linked to this ticket have all been deleted by User:Jcb on January 26, 2019.

To put things in context, you can read the discussion that I had in December with User:DarwIn (that I would like to thank again) : Commons:OTRS/Noticeboard/archive/2018#Ticket:2018072510007418_-_Prince_of_Persia_screen_shots.

I'm sorry to say that, but I'm really fed up with this OTRS system: ok, everybody here is a volunteer, everybody gives its free time and that's a beautiful proof of philanthropy. But we have to recognize that the OTRS system doesn't work anymore! I'm strugling since July of 2018 to have a validation from OTRS members!! Can you imagine how frustrating it is for a contributor to wait so much time?? But the worst thing is this: when this ticket will be validated, you can be sure that I will NEVER EVER ask for an OTRS ticket again, as it's almost impossible to have a validation. --ΛΦΠ (talk) 16:08, 10 February 2019 (UTC)

@DarwIn: It's your ticket, should these files be undeleted? Apparently they were never tagged in the handling of the ticket. Jcb (talk) 17:40, 10 February 2019 (UTC)

Based on the information in the ticket, the previous OTRS/N discussion, and the fact that DarwIn has not edited in the last week, I have requested undeletion and added {{OTRS permission}} to the files. ΛΦΠ, I'd like to apologize for the delay in handling this ticket. When a ticket is handled by someone, they are given the first chance to respond to any replies to that ticket. If they do not take any action, it is released back into the queue for other agents to handle. The agent who took the ticket appears to have interpreted the copyright holder's most recent message as being a standard reply saying that all the files were licensed correctly, not as the additional information needed before applying OTRS permission tags. They then closed the ticket without further action. Thank you for bringing this to our attention and thank you for helping to expand the body of free media on Wikimedia Commons. I know how frustrating it can be to have uploads that you know are correct deleted, especially when you have spent time tracking down the copyright holder to obtain a release, as it has happened to me as well. --AntiCompositeNumber (talk) 03:31, 11 February 2019]] (UTC)

@AntiCompositeNumber: Thank you very much for your validation of the ticket! And thank you for your kind message above and the explanations about the problem. After this 7-months struggle to get the permission, I just would like to know: how many members are in the OTRS team, and how much emails do you receive per day? It seems that you are only 3 or 4 members to handle dozens of tickets a day... am I right or wrong? --ΛΦΠ (talk) 20:02, 11 February 2019 (UTC)

Actives? Very few. And tickets we've got around 3000+ waiting to be processed. And 8000+ spam tickets, eternally open. --Ganímedes (talk) 20:06, 11 February 2019 (UTC)

@Ganímedes: Thank you for these interesting figures! This is huge and I understand it takes so much time to treat the tickets! Why don't we try to completely change the OTRS validation system by opening it to everyone? Every member of the Wikimedia projects (Wikipedia, Commons, and so on) could validate the permissions. If any other member has a doubt regarding the validation of a permission, he could check the email sent to the OTRS adress and possibly report suspicious situations to administrators (false emails and so on). Isn't it a good idea? It seems clear to me that the current OTRS system cannot continue to work this way with so much emails treated by so few people! --ΛΦΠ (talk) 20:53, 11 February 2019 (UTC)

Unfortunately, handling permissions emails means that you will handle non-public information including people's email addresses and phone numbers all the way to the pictures of identifying documents that people sometimes send us (If you were considering sending us a picture of your passport, please don't. We don't want it.). Because of this non-public data, we are required to follow the meta:Access to nonpublic personal data policy and sign the meta:Confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information. This is an extra level of trust that can not be granted to all users as it would violate the foundation:Privacy policy. In addition, many requests are not very simple. OTRS agents handling permissions tickets need to have knowledge about what copyright laws apply in which situations and how those laws may impact the permissions they handle. For example, we could accept permission from a photographer to use a picture of the Eiffel Tower during the daytime because it is very old. We could not accept permission for the Eiffel Tower at night, as the lighting design of the Tower is copyrighted and there is no freedom of panorama in France. Not all users are experienced enough to make these judgements. The OTRS system is not the only way to archive a valid permission statement. If someone has a website that is connected to their identity, they can upload photos they want to release there and state something to the effect of "These images are licensed under Creative Commons Attribtuion-ShareAlike 4.0 International and may be used under the terms of that license". The permission can then be checked by a license reviewer. This is actually the preferred method for permissions statements, but requires slightly more effort than sending an email and usually works best if permission is given before uploading files to Wikimedia Commons. --AntiCompositeNumber (talk) 21:29, 11 February 2019 (UTC)

@AntiCompositeNumber: Thank you very much for this very interesting response. I had not thought to all these complications. Indeed, it seems eventually impossible to open the OTRS system to everyone. In fact, the OTRS team just needs more members to work well, but I guess they are not numerous to apply. I know it's a little "out of the box" thinking, but don't you think that the Wikimedia Foundation should recruit an employee (instead of a volunteer battalion) to handle all these permission requests with important legal issues? This could avoid repeated bad experiences for contributors and rights holders seeking to release content under a free license. For example, in my case, the rights holder of images with who I found the above-mentionned agreement asked me several times what was happening with the agreement that he sent and that seemed to be blocked. I tried to reassure him several times but it was a very unpleasant situation for both of us because I had no real answer to give, especially when the pictures were removed. It is essential to avoid this kind of situation in the future with other rights holders and contributors! --ΛΦΠ (talk) 22:16, 11 February 2019 (UTC)

What @AntiCompositeNumber: says it's true. Even so, I think some kind of changes in the interface and the way we handl the tickets are needed. At least new OTRS agents in certain lenguages (da, ko, ml, etc) could be very usefull. Regards. --Ganímedes (talk) 22:22, 11 February 2019 (UTC)

@ΛΦΠ: I always recommend to trusted users who send us permissions often that if they do not get answer in few days, contact me or other agents. For example, former agents probably understand the progress well, so their permissions are most of the time valid. I agree with Ganímedes, e.g. permission-de has 730+ open tickets; we need to involve more experienced people. However, I would like to clarify that queues in English are not in danger. I think the real problem is the decrease of agents who are handling smaller languages. Bencemac (talk) 07:15, 12 February 2019 (UTC)

@Bencemac: Thank you for this piece of advice. And thank you Ganímedes and AntiCompositeNumber for this very interesting conversation. It helped me to understand a lot of things. You do a hard but very useful job: all the Wikimedia projects need more people like you --ΛΦΠ (talk) 21:44, 12 February 2019 (UTC)

@Fundriver: If a free license has been sent to OTRS, then the file will be restored automatically when and if the email is received, processed, and approved. Note that OTRS, like Commons, is entirely staffed by volunteers, and, also like Commons, is shorthanded, so it may be close to 5 days before the email is processed and the file is restored.

If the message was sent to the English language version of OTRS and the email has been properly received there the sender will receive an automatic reply with the ticket number. If the sender has not had a reply, please check that it was sent correctly and try again. Other language versions may or may not provide the automatic reply.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 11:39, 26 February 2019 (UTC)

The first parameter of {{OTRS ticket}} is supposed to be the TicketID (in this case, 9577409), not the TicketNumber, so the full syntax should have been "{{OTRS ticket|9577409|2016111810012564}}", to form "OTRS ticket 2016111810012564".   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 14:08, 10 March 2019 (UTC)

The Beatles Wikipedia Page

"The Beatles" Wikipedia page notates them as a "Rock" band. The Beatles were not exclusively a "Rock" band. They were actually more of a Popular Music or "Pop" band but not exclusively that either. However "The Beatles" Wikipedia page is locked to any changes. Someone needs to go in and adjust this notation to the Beatles in some manner. The Beatles were NOT just a ROCK band. Taking out the word ROCK would most likely easily fix this issue. —Preceding unsigned comment was added by 75.88.251.140 (talk) 19:13, 11 March 2019 (UTC)

Someone with access to @commons queue, please read through ticket:2018100710001915 (additionally, please check ticket:2019021910006358 and the two pending copyvio mails).

Scope of ticket:2014020910010406

At File:Abbashow Swede Sensation.jpg, a new file has been uploaded over-writing an older file, both old and new versions by the same editor. There's an OTRS-permission tag, but according to the datestamps, that was submitted and accepted in the era of the older version. Does that ticket cover the new version also? That is, should the new version be offloaded to a new filename (split) or just deleted (unlicensed)? Pinging @Tom.Luca: the uploader. DMacks (talk) 05:35, 12 March 2019 (UTC)

Unacceptable images with brazen(clearly visible) watermarks

I need permission to use the picture of Planetshakers

Please, if someone can review my case: send an email requesting a valid permit with screenshots that authorize me. Planetshakers uses the following image file name: File: Planetshakers.jpg and tells me that it is in a waiting queue to be processed. I need you to review my case, the OTRS agent who added this template to the page https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Planetshakers.jpg?uselang=es-419, the user (Krdbot), Ticket number [ [TicketNumber=2019021810009311]], date on which you sent the message by email on February 18, 2019.

What is the permission status of File:DC Miedzianik & J Mitchell 1992.jpg?

@Ylevental: Ticket:2019020310000401 has a recent reply.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 23:17, 21 February 2019 (UTC)

@Jeff G.: Just saw that the file File:DC Miedzianik & J Mitchell 1992.jpg was deleted. Will it be restored after it is approved? Please reply. Ylevental (talk) 22:47, 6 March 2019 (UTC)

@Ylevental and Heepman1997: The file will be restored IFF the ticket is approved. We do not have permission from the photographer, and we have not heard from our customer since 3 February.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 23:54, 6 March 2019 (UTC)

@Jeff G.: Thanks for replying. However, the picture was taken decades ago, and the customer lost contact with the photographer a long time ago. The photographer never formally registered the picture's copyright, and just gave it to the customer because he requested a picture of himself taken with his friend. I am also wondering, is there an email that the customer should have replied to but still didn't as of this time? I can let the customer know if that's the case because I personally know him. Ylevental (talk) 02:13, 7 March 2019 (UTC)

@Jeff G.: I just contacted him (the customer) and he says he didn't get the email. Could you send it again? Thanks. Ylevental (talk) 13:48, 7 March 2019 (UTC)

@Ylevental: I sent it again.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 13:57, 7 March 2019 (UTC)

@Jeff G.: He told me he replied. Did he give a reply that makes sense in response to the email? Ylevental (talk) 00:01, 8 March 2019 (UTC)

@Ylevental: The email conversation is proceeding.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 00:07, 8 March 2019 (UTC)

@Jeff G.: He said he got another email today asking for name, location, permission of the photographer and so forth. He says he doesn't want to be involved anymore now because it's too much for him and deleted the email. Once again, he has no way to contact the photographer, and the photograph was never commercialized since the photographer was only a friend (it was taken decades ago). Do you think this means that the picture will not be approved, since he isn't interested in finding any more information or replying anymore? Ylevental (talk) 00:56, 8 March 2019 (UTC)

The heirs of Pier Augusto Breccia have sent an email to [email protected] (on March 30 2019) releasing copyrights of the above photos and I would like to know what the status of the ticket is. Is there anything I should do to speed up the un-deletion process? Or do I need to re-upload the files?

ticket:644238

I just undeleted File:Church in Pogradec.jpg which was OTRS-confirmed in 2007 using some outdated template syntax. When I preview this ticket number in an |id= parameter, it throws another error saying that the ID might be invalid. De728631 (talk) 20:51, 10 April 2019 (UTC)

@De728631: The syntax of {{PermissionOTRS}} has changed. The "ticket" parameter in "{{PermissionOTRS|ticket=https://secure.wikimedia.org/otrs/index.pl?Action=AgentTicketZoom&TicketID=644238}}" was not valid in the first place, and should have just been "{{PermissionOTRS|ticket=644238}}"; support for that parameter was removed in this edit by @Jarekt. I am not a fan of removing outdated syntax that can still be correctly interpreted due to backward compatibility issues under the Robustness Principle, which was first promulgated by Jon Postel (may he rest in peace) as "In general, an implementation must be conservative in its sending behavior, and liberal in its receiving behavior" in Section 3.2 of RFC 791 "Internet Protocol" in Internet Standard #5 at http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/std/std5.txt and http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc791.txt.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 07:05, 11 April 2019 (UTC)

The "ticket" parameter was removed after a group effort to convert every last template that used it to standard id syntax. Most of the tickets using ticket were from the early days of commons. The issue with "ticket" parameter, aside for being confusing, is that you can not test if it is within correct bounds as they vary a lot. So many of those templates used bogus numbers and did create valid URL. Once we did not have any more files using "ticket" parameters, it was safe to retire it and update the documentation, but I guess we did not corrected all the deleted files so undeletion can still cause issues. --Jarekt (talk) 01:53, 12 April 2019 (UTC)

Thank you both for explaining the details, and thank you, Jeff, for fixing the OTRS tag on the file page. De728631 (talk) 15:49, 13 April 2019 (UTC)

Abuse report of OTRS procedure

User:Wcam has put 'No permission since|month=March|day=31|year=2019' tag on a certain SVG of the Crest of Japana Uwajima Hannate(Clan) by [8]. This svg is already tagged 'self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-3.0,2.5,2.0,1.0' for a long while. this svg seems Mukai's own work image, as Mukai oneself declares that its production process of image file of the Crest at Commons user page [9]. And the original of this svg's Crest is from Uwajima Hannate(Clan) at 17th century. It is unclear why the no permission tag is added to this svg. The original of this svg's Crest is from Uwajima Hannate(Clan) at 17th century. User Wcam has talked to User:Mukai that Mukai has to go on the OTRS procedure within 7 days by [10]. But this svg is not subject to requirement of OTRS ticket procedure, according to Commons:OTRS, because NO EVIDENCE is shown by User:Wcam that either Mukai does not have the copyright of building this SVG, nor Mukai has published this SVG on other than Commons, nor precedingly published this SVG other than commons. --Kyuri1449 (talk) 17:01, 5 April 2019 (UTC)

The primary task of OTRS agents is to add and remove tags like {{PermissionOTRS}}, so this is not necessarily best place for discussing general permission issues beyond that (note that evidence requested could be non-OTRS evidence)... That said, if it's conisdered public domain because it's too old, I'd suggest adding its real/estimated creation date into the "Date" field of of the information template. If it's a faithful reproduction, you can add one of Category:PD-old license tags, too. whym (talk) 23:01, 27 April 2019 (UTC)

Ticket#2019032310005429
(Clarifying what Scott Semans means)

Hello 👋🏻 everyone,

This morning I received a request of clarification of what files were meant in this ticket, however the e-mail account where I have received this e-mail is full. As I get the message "Het postvak is vol. 15209 MB 15206 MB Huidige grootte Maximumgrootte U kunt geen berichten meer verzenden via uw postvak. Maak ruimte vrij in uw postvak door overbodige items te verwijderen en de map Verwijderde items leeg te maken." (Roughly translated: Your inbox is full, you can't send any messages and need to delete e-mails before you can send e-mails again) and as I never delete anything I can't reply so I will try to clarify the ticket here and why it probably can't be processed. Scott Semans sent me a large number of images of Qing Dynasty cash coins in a .zip folder 🤐 which I couldn't upload to Wikimedia Commons because these files are not hosted on his website (note that everything on his website is released using the Creative Commons license). --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 19:28, 9 May 2019 (UTC)

My browser began to crash so I am continuing here, Scott Semans sent me a folder with a couple of hundred files to upload to Wikimedia Commons but I explained that I couldn't upload them here without OTRS permission so I requested him to e-mail the .zip folders to "permissions-commonswikimedia.org", however the files were too big to send through the electronic mail so I don't think that this ticket can be resolved, I will try to ask Scott Semans to send the .zip folders using this ticket, I will reply using my Google Mail as (as written above) my main Microsoft Outlook account is full. --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 19:32, 9 May 2019 (UTC)

•  Note 📝, I (just) sent the .zip files to this ticket number, of course I can't confirm that these files were originally sent to me by Scott Semans unless he sends them to himself. Please ping when replying. --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 19:44, 9 May 2019 (UTC)

I will contact Scott Semand later again, I sent the mzip files to the OTRS agent but I don't think that I can verify that Scott Semans sent them. --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 19:49, 10 May 2019 (UTC)

@Ganímedes: Very probably the rights passed to the Estate. In Italy, the owner of the negatives is also the copyright holder, but this doesn't appear in Malta copyright law. You've to see what the selling contract with the Estate says, because they might have retained the copyright.

Federal Reserve banks

I am seeking clarification on the contents of ticket:2007061110000679 as it applies to works by the twelve regional Federal Reserve Banks. When the ticket was first added to {{PD-USGov-Federal Reserve}} in 2007, the template specified "work of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System". In 2016, the template was changed to read "a work of the Federal Reserve Bank or one of the twelve Federal Reserve branch banks which are owned by the Fed". This is a substantive change (see w:Structure of the Federal Reserve System). A number of A few images that use this template, including File:Birmingham-Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta Birmingham Branch Office.jpg, are works of one of the twelve regional banks. Does the original OTRS ticket specify the Board of Governors only, or does it also cover the twelve regional banks? (I have also started a discussion about this at Template talk:PD-USGov-Federal Reserve.) Wikiacc (talk) 19:35, 15 May 2019 (UTC) (edit 19:46, 15 May 2019 (UTC))

Would like to recommend updated images for Prosoft Engineering

Hello Team,

I currently work for the company Prosoft Engineering Inc. I would like to add a couple of images as logs, and screenshots to the current page and also some for Draft pages that are being created. I have permission from the business to add them to Wikipedia. What would be the process for these images to be accepted? They were being flagged by the submission option within the editing tool so I used the Wiki Upload Wizard. How do add copyrights to them as apart of the business?

permission

I uploaded three photos in December and got three OTRS tickets as follows. Ticket#2018121110002626, Ticket#2018121110002706, Ticket#2018121110002761 A month later, the photos were deleted, but I got the answer that the tickets were still open, so I had to wait. The photos were shown again in May, but there are still no OTRS permission. Is there anything else I should do for the permission, or should I wait for more? Yujooli (talk)

Lisa Mazzone

I have just uploaded this:

It is a cropped extract of a file that comes with a TicketNumber=2016030410008521 and various encouraging copyright related statements including the one that this "...work is free and may be used by anyone for any purpose". I liked that one.

But could someone take a moment to look at what I did and let me know:

• 1. What did I get wrong?
• 2. What did I get right?
• 3. Is it reasonable to use the image on an article on which I am making a start, using wiki-de and wiki-fr and sources that crop up along the way?

Thank you. Regards. Charles01 (talk) 19:03, 18 June 2019 (UTC)

@Charles01: I fixed it for you. Your problem was with Special:AbuseFilter/69. What you got wrong is that you cropped an image that had OTRS permission, without being an OTRS member, earning you warning Mediawiki:abusefilter-warning-otrs. Please don't do that. You added much verbiage to compensate for that, which I have removed. You got the rest right. Now you may use the image on any WMF project.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 01:03, 19 June 2019 (UTC)

Potwierdzenie zezwolenia na wykorzystanie zdjęcia Big Cyc File:Big Cyc 2018.jpg

Dzień dobry

Kilka dni temu wykorzystaliśmy w naszym serwisie zdjęcie, znajdujące się w repozytorium WC. Konkretnie chodzi o foto z linku: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Big_Cyc_2018.jpg . Zdjęcie opatrzyliśmy stosownym, wymaganym podpisem, czyli "Jacek Jędrzejak [CC BY-SA 3.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0)], Wikimedia Commons".

Niestety, odezwała się do nas kobieta, która uważa się za autorkę zdjęcia, domagając się od nas zadośćuczynienia za złamanie jej praw autorskich. Czy mógłbym otrzymać potwierdzenie zezwolenia na wykorzystanie tej pracy przez Wikimedia Commons?

Confirmation of the permission to use the photo Big Cyc File: Big Cyc 2018.jpg

Good morning

A few days ago, we used a photo in our website, located in the toilet repository. Specifically, it's about the photo from the link: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Big_Cyc_2018.jpg. We have provided the picture with the appropriate, required signature, namely "Jacek Jędrzejak [CC BY-SA 3.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0)], Wikimedia Commons".

Unfortunately, a woman spoke to us who considers herself the author of the picture, demanding that we be compensated for the infringement of her copyrights. Can I get confirmation of permission to use this work by Wikimedia Commons? The ticket under the photo is https://ticket.wikimedia.org/otrs/index.pl?Action=AgentTicketZoom&TicketNumber=2018032110012211. My email address is [email protected]

Jacek Jędrzejak, a member of BIG CYC - who is mentioned as the author of the picture has sent to OTRS routine agreement and he claimed that it was selfie, taken by him. There was no reason to doubt this claim, so it was accepted. I sent to him an E-mail again asking if he is sure that it is selfie. In a meantime I marked this picture as waiting OTRS confirmation. Polimerek (talk) 23:49, 2 May 2019 (UTC)

After discussion via OTRS with Jacek Jędrzejak it appeared that there was no agreement of real author of the picture to release it under any free licence. Therefore I nominated this picture for speedy deletion. Good lesson for future to be more careful with agreements... Polimerek (talk) 14:27, 6 May 2019 (UTC)

File:Wang Leehom - 2018 Golden Lotus Awards for Best Actor .jpg

The photo owner/representative had sent email to OTRS, per OTRS ticket Ticket:2019013110001626 to be restored and annotated by Arthur Crbz. However it was deleted again.

After waiting and not seeing the restored photo, I couldn't find the photo file on wiki commons. I did find something that says the file had been closed/archived and I need to re-upload, which I did, which resulted in removal for duplication. Through recommendations I am posting here hoping you can assist. Thank you. Kievew (talk) 07:00, 16 April 2019 (UTC)

reference: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Undeletion_requests/Current_requests#File%3AWang_Leehom_-_2018_Golden_Lotus_Awards_for_Best_Actor_.jpg

@Kievew: File:Wang Leehom - 2018 Golden Lotus Awards for Best Actor .jpg was originally uploaded here 10 January 2019 by you. That file was deleted that day by @Hedwig in Washington as a copyvio. That file was restored 18 January 2019 by @Ankry due to alleged permission on iMDB, but deleted again by Ankry five minutes later due to "unclear copyright status". You started Commons:Undeletion requests/Archive/2019-01#File:Wang Leehom - 2018 Golden Lotus Awards for Best Actor .jpg 16 January 2019. In that discussion, it was determined 23 January 2019 that we needed OTRS permission for the picture, as it had previously been published December 23, 2018. 28 January 2019 you reploaded the picture as File:Macau IMTF Award 2018.jpg and it was deleted by @Ronhjones a day later as a copyvio. Please explain exactly where you got advice to reupload, as the advice was incorrect. OTRS Ticket:2019013110001626 was created 2019-01-31 by a representative of Hongsheng Culture, an organization that claims copyright for the picture on behalf of a staff photographer. 31 January 2019 @Arthur Crbz restored that file per that ticket. 4 March 2019 @Jcb deleted that file because the permission was insufficient. 1 April 2019 you reploaded the picture as File:Wang Leehom Best Actor Award.jpg and it was again deleted by Ronhjones as a reuploaded copyvio. Again, please explain exactly where you got advice to reupload, as the advice was incorrect. 2 April 2019 you started Commons:Undeletion requests/Archive/2019-04#File:Wang Leehom - 2018 Golden Lotus Awards for Best Actor .jpg. In that discussion, it was determined that we still needed complete OTRS permission. Having reviewed the perceding, I agree with Jcb that permission sent was for that picture, but did not address the fact that the picture is dw of the pictured "2018 Golden Lotus Awards for Best Actor" award, and we don't have permission on file for that award. Please have one of the organizations behind the "Golden Lotus Awards", Macau Film and Television Media Association or China International Cultural Communication Center, send such permission via OTRS with a carbon copy to you, and stop reuploading.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 08:22, 18 April 2019 (UTC)

@Jeff G.: Thank you so much for looking into this. It's my first attempt to upload photo, and learning as I go. I have a hard time finding/re-finding things on wiki commons, including the messages where I learn about re-submit and re-upload. Will contact the organizations as recommended. Good learning experience, just wished it wasn't so complicated. Your assistance is much appreciated. Kievew (talk) 01:41, 22 April 2019 (UTC)

@Kievew: You're welcome.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 01:45, 22 April 2019 (UTC)

@Jeff G.: Found one of the messages that I misread. As I couldn't find the file, I took "file deleted" and "No file by this name exists, but you can upload it." as instruction to upload again, not realizing that all files are not deleted, only archived, as explained by other users. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wang_Leehom_-_2018_Golden_Lotus_Awards_for_Best_Actor_.jpg; not sure if you or someone can change the directions to make it clearer for new users not to re-upload. There were other pages I encountered which had instructions I mistook as to re-upload. Will share when I come across them again. Kievew (talk) 07:14, 24 April 2019 (UTC)

@Kievew: I guess "Warning: You are recreating a page that was previously deleted." was insufficient.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 12:05, 24 April 2019 (UTC)

@Jeff G.: Unfortunately I misunderstood it to mean that the file was deleted for a reason, so once I'm sure the copyright is legit, I'd have to upload it again, since the file was deleted/gone. Of course, now that I know the file is never really deleted, the message made more sense. However, I still can't seem to find the deleted file. Kievew (talk) 09:27, 29 April 2019 (UTC)

@Kievew: Once an OTRS volunteer has accepted permission from Macau Film and Television Media Association or China International Cultural Communication Center, they will have the file restored. You must not upload the file again. You cannot see it here because it is hidden from your view here, but I am sure it is still on our servers.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 09:58, 29 April 2019 (UTC)

in my humble opion the parameters in the c:File:Suzanne Belperron Archives Olivier Baroin 240px.jpg are a bit strange: the photo en:Suzanne Belperron (1900-1983) could be of the 1930s, I don't know. Commons: date is 2012, commons author is Archives Olivier Baroin.

There was a DR and by the OTRS-ticket 2013052210013205 someone made keep. Could you please correct author and date in the params of the picture? --Goesseln (talk) 10:24, 24 May 2019 (UTC)

Issue

Hey, I’m an OTRS. When I add the {{permissionOTRS}} tag to files, it warns me that only OTRS users are allowed to do that, and when I proceed the system tags my edit as OTRS tags added by non-OTRS members. I thought adding my name to this list would solve the problem, but nope. Anybody can help?--Épine (talk) 14:41, 6 July 2019 (UTC)

@Épine: It appears you are trying to add OTRS permission without authorization for permissions. Please request that authorization on otrswiki:Administrator requests.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 15:39, 6 July 2019 (UTC)

Verify permission for File:Pam Warren (speaker).jpg

Can anyone verify the permission for File:Pam Warren (speaker).jpg (ticket:2014080510011081)? The file was transferred from enwiki (en:File:Pam Warren (speaker).jpg) where it had an OTRS tag, but that tag apparently didn't survive the transfer to Commons. I'm an administrator on enwiki, so I can see the tag in the file history, but since I'm not an OTRS agent, I can't verify that it's actually valid. clpo13_(talk) 16:24, 23 May 2019 (UTC)

@Clpo13: that ticket is just as valid today as it was five years ago, but I would not accept it as-is today due to newer tighter controls on forwards and file description page URLs.

@Medosaleh: If a free license has been sent to OTRS, then the file will be restored automatically when and if the email is received, processed, and approved. Note that OTRS, like Commons, is entirely staffed by volunteers, and, also like Commons, is shorthanded, so it may be close to 5 days before the email is processed and the file is restored.

If the message was sent to the English language version of OTRS and the email has been properly received there the sender will receive an automatic reply with the ticket number. If the sender has not had a reply, please check that it was sent correctly and try again.

Nightshooter attribution

Is there any sort of "suggested" attribution in Ticket:2013070810006808 for File:Tom Petty 2.jpg? I'm asking because of [12]. - Alexis Jazz ^{ping plz} 00:04, 10 July 2019 (UTC)

The full release lists both CC BY-SA 3.0 and GNU although they only really mention the Creative Commons one in non-copypaste correspondence. Both should probably be on the information page to be sure. --Majora (talk) 00:11, 10 July 2019 (UTC)

@Majora: You mean GFDL? I don't think Larry can be trusted with GFDL. He'd sue anyone who doesn't include a full copy of the license text. - Alexis Jazz ^{ping plz} 00:29, 10 July 2019 (UTC)

{{GNU}} = {{GFDL}}. Like I said, in all non-copypaste correspondence they don't mention that at all. The very first item in that ticket only mentioned CC BY-SA 3.0. Specifically, ...donate this photo under the Creative Commons CC by SA 3.0... --Majora (talk) 00:48, 10 July 2019 (UTC)

Right, when you say GNU I think GNU which is many things. {{GNU}} could just as easily redirect to {{GPL}}. If he didn't mention GFDL in any non-copypaste correspondence, I would assume he didn't intent to release anything as GFDL. And even if he did.. we don't have to actually apply it. And Larry being Larry, it would be a bad idea. I did notice the author field says "Larry Philpot - http://www.soundstagephotography.com" so I wonder if this was suggested as attribution in the ticket, in which case a banner with that can be added. - Alexis Jazz ^{ping plz} 00:58, 10 July 2019 (UTC)

Pinging @Jcb the uploader. - Alexis Jazz ^{ping plz} 14:00, 10 July 2019 (UTC)

The ticket is not specific about the attribution as far as I can see. Jcb (talk) 20:46, 10 July 2019 (UTC)

@Jcb: did you enter "Larry Philpot - http://www.soundstagephotography.com" in the author field by your own choice? In that case I guess he's not expecting any specific attribution with URL. - Alexis Jazz ^{ping plz} 13:10, 11 July 2019 (UTC)

To me it seems quite clear from the first message that a similar attribution was requested. @Jcb and Alexis Jazz: With the confirmation, we could ask to "verify" the page, so if they do not like the attribution, they can ask to remove it. But, in that case, I reckon that the intentions of the customer were explicit. --Ruthven (msg) 14:17, 11 July 2019 (UTC)

I think that I tried to follow their intentions as good as possible, but I don't remember the case. Please be aware that this is 6 years ago. Jcb (talk) 14:53, 11 July 2019 (UTC)

@Ruthven: do you think I should add an attribution bar similar to the one that was added to the other Nightshooter photos? Asking for confirmation may not be a good idea. Nightshooter/Larry Philpot has a new website now, so they'd most likely ask to have it changed. But if the attribution is changed, that would give Larry even more opportunities to sue re-users. - Alexis Jazz ^{ping plz} 15:20, 11 July 2019 (UTC)

@Alexis Jazz: The release of the OTRS ticket is under the Creative Commons CC by SA 3.0, provided that the name Larry Philpot and website www.soundstagephotography.com is to be attributed. The File:Tom Petty 2.jpg is correct in that sense, because it reflects Philpot's request. --Ruthven (msg) 15:53, 11 July 2019 (UTC)

@Ruthven: That's what I meant. Larry may sue re-users who omit the URL. Attribution bar added. - Alexis Jazz ^{ping plz} 16:05, 11 July 2019 (UTC)

I only now noticed that File:Tom Petty 2013.jpg and File:Tom Petty 2.jpg are variants of the same photo. Oh well. - Alexis Jazz ^{ping plz} 16:22, 11 July 2019 (UTC)

Files uploaded by FredericaBern

I have doubts that OTRS staff actually verified that permissions allegedly for Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by FredericaBern came from the painter Vulfovich himself, not from some of his associates impersonating Vulfovich by means of a Vkontakte profile. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 08:36, 25 May 2019 (UTC)

The doubt is not about what is written, but who wrote the permission. IMHO such organization as lokkii.ru may credibly represent the artist, as he allegedly is employed there. On the other hand, Emails from such second-level domains as “@yandex.ru” should be dismissed unless the sender can prove that he is Vulfovich. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 10:20, 25 May 2019 (UTC)

I left a note in the ticket, but yet no one answer. --Ganímedes (talk) 13:08, 12 July 2019 (UTC)

As there is no answer, I explain my point of view here. The rationale for PD was: "According to Parliamentary Assembly of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Copyright and Related Rights Law Article 8 (Unprotected Creations): Copyright protection shall not extend to: a) ideas, concepts, procedures, work methods, mathematical operations, principles or discoveries, b) c) d) e) official texts in the domain of legislation, administration and judiciary (laws, regulations, decisions, reports, minutes, judgments and alike), political speeches and speeches made at court hearings, daily news or miscellaneous information having the character of mere items of press information, folk leterary and artistic creations.[...]. Since this work was created to monitor the administration of the 1984 winter Olympic games, it falls under the domain of administration and is considered an unprotected creation."

I'm not sure PD apply here, at least as the way he's mentioning. But I can be wrong, so more comments are appreciated. Regards. --Ganímedes (talk) 18:08, 18 July 2019 (UTC)

I agree with Smooth O, and the email at OTRS isn't precise on that point. We should change the license, using {{PD-YugoslaviaGov}}, because the photo was published in an administrative report of the preparation of the 1984 winter Olympic games published by an entity of the Yugoslavian Government, and replacing PermissionOTRS with {{OTRS info}}. --Ruthven (msg) 12:53, 19 July 2019 (UTC)

ufff It's a delicate matter. @Tiven2240: We should ask for an explicit and more "precise" permission. I do not expect problems in that sense (we have a permission), but maybe a simple confirmation of a public domain license would be helpful. @Rachmat04 and Steven Crossin: Can you help us in this? --Ruthven (msg) 08:37, 21 July 2019 (UTC)

Just spotted this ping. Let me take a look. Steven Crossin (talk) 16:16, 21 July 2019 (UTC)

Reading through the ticket and the policies here on UN media, it's not clear to me that the images uploaded are actually in the public domain at all. Separate project, but is uploaded as a non-free image. I'd like the take of other OTRS here, perhaps in the ticket or noticeboard, since I'm not at present seeing anything overriding the usage policy for UN media. Actually, I've looked through the ticket in greater detail. There's sufficient info for me to be comfortable that we have an explicit permission for the use of this image under PD with OTRS permission. Steven Crossin (talk) 16:32, 21 July 2019 (UTC)

Instagram images on commons

Hi, Can we upload the the images of Instagram with CC4.0 tag to Commons. If the original author added Licensed to use under CC4.0 to the post, should they send the OTRS form via mail again?--IM3847 (talk) 12:16, 21 July 2019 (UTC)

Category:Ayen Ho

Hi,All!

I have uploaded some photos in Category:Ayen Ho, that are emailed to me by copyright-holder (the artist in the photo herself). After that, the copyright-holder has sent permission email(s) from her work-related email address shown here, to [email protected]. However, the templates in file-pages are not replaced with OTRS received yet. Will anyone please take a look? David290 (talk) 04:52, 4 June 2019 (UTC)

@Duffyduff1010: If a free license has been sent to OTRS, then the file will be restored automatically when and if the email is received, processed, and approved. Note that OTRS, like Commons, is entirely staffed by volunteers, and, also like Commons, is shorthanded, so it may be close to 5 days before the email is processed and the file is restored.

If the message was sent to the English language version of OTRS and the email has been properly received there the sender will receive an automatic reply with the ticket number. If the sender has not had a reply, please check that it was sent correctly and try again.

Forwarded permission?

I happened to look at this image and the associated ticket:2019060310003703, which was handled by Krd. I can't see anything wrong with the permission, but was surprised by it. My question is this: do we or do we not accept forwarded statements of permission – or do we evaluate on a case-by-case basis? I've been using one of the standard "no forwarded permissions" responses to answer such tickets – is that wrong? I'm posting this here because it's specifically image permissions that I'd like clarification on, and from Commons users. Also, do we/should we accept permission from people who claim, without one shred of evidence, to be an "authorised representative" of the actual copyright holder (as can be done using this template)? Thanks, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 19:57, 5 June 2019 (UTC)

@Justlettersandnumbers: As for as I know, the permission should be given by the sole copyright-holder, that is, the photographer himself/herself if not working for others, or the employer of such (when it's a paid work). The "authorized representative" in the template is used when an entity (company/enterprise/organization/government, etc.) holds the copyright, and wanna release.

Ticket#2019082110005138

Ticket:2019082110005138 refers to a screenshot of a software (videogame), with multilicense. IMHO GPLv2 it's a valid license, but I'm not sure if a regular user can add a NC-ND license to a file, since the file should be relicense under the right terms, isn't it? Or it's enough with add GPLv2? In years in OTRS, this is my first case like this, so I prefer to ask. Regards. --Ganímedes (talk) 10:31, 23 August 2019 (UTC)

@Ganímedes: If the file is available under multiple licenses, we should indicate all of those licenses. This is most commonly done with CC-BY-SA & CC-BY-NC (You must share alike unless non-commercial), but can be done with any combination of licenses as long as at least one of them is free and none of them are exclusive. You can use Template:Cc-non-compliant to do this, or just note it in the permission field of the information template. --AntiCompositeNumber (talk) 00:20, 31 August 2019 (UTC)

Thanks, @AntiCompositeNumber: , but I'm not able to use the template. Something was wrong when I did. Do you think you can do it by yourself? I'll really appreciate this. Regards. --Ganímedes (talk) 00:29, 31 August 2019 (UTC)

@Ganímedes:  Done: I added the software licensing to the file. CC-BY-SA-4.0 (the current screenshot license) is not compatible with the GPLv2, so the person who took the screenshot will have to pick a different license. There is a list of compatible licenses here, CC-BY-4.0 or CC-0 are probably best. If they really want share alike, they can pick the GPL (but that is not reccomended for the same reason that the GFDL was recently deprecated). --AntiCompositeNumber (talk) 01:04, 31 August 2019 (UTC)

So thankfull, @AntiCompositeNumber: . I really appreciate your help. Regards. --Ganímedes (talk) 11:12, 31 August 2019 (UTC)

Mail has been sent

Hello! I loaded up some photos for a Timorese friend. He has sent an email today to permission@commons, but not CC to me, so I can not add an ID to the files. The photos are from Tiago Amaral Sarmento:

• File:Liurai Angelo , the current Liurai of Uma Ua'in Craic.jpg
• File:Raitahu 1.jpg
• File:Raitahu 2.png
• File:Raitahu 3.jpg
• File:Raitahu 4.jpg

Can you give the OK for the files, please? Greetings, --JPF (talk) 13:56, 28 July 2019 (UTC)

@J. Patrick Fischer: If a free license has been sent to OTRS, then the file will be restored automatically when and if the email is received, processed, and approved. Note that OTRS, like Commons, is entirely staffed by volunteers, and, also like Commons, is shorthanded, so it may be close to 5 days before the email is processed and the file is restored.

If the message was sent to the English language version of OTRS and the email has been properly received there the sender will receive an automatic reply with the ticket number. If the sender has not had a reply, please check that it was sent correctly and try again. Other language versions may or may not provide the automatic reply.  — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 16:16, 28 July 2019 (UTC)

Excuse me, did you read my message or was my English to bad to understand?

Ich habe für einen timoresischen Freund Bilder hochgeladen. Er hat auch eine eMail an permission@commons geschickt, leider nicht CC an mich, so dass ich keine ID dazu angeben kann. Könnte jemand bitte die Verbindung zwischen der OTRS-Mail und den vier oben genannten Fotos erstellen, damit die Freigabe dokumentiert ist? Danke. --JPF (talk) 17:20, 28 July 2019 (UTC)

@J. Patrick Fischer: I found two tickets, Ticket:2019072810002219 and Ticket:2019072810002246, but your friend did not make it easy by including file URLs.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 17:43, 28 July 2019 (UTC)

That is why I am contacting you. It is always dificult to explain Timorese the Commons system. It is nearly impossible to ask hem to load up the files on their own. That is why I am loading them up for them. But I can only be sure, they are writing the emails, before I am loading the files up. 90 % are sendung the OTRS-mail cc to me, so I can get the OTRS-ID, but Tiago didn't understand the need. Well, "Lost in translation" between two non-native English-speakers from two different conitnents and cultures. But my Tetum Terik is even more lousy, than my English. Is the permission complete for the four files? --JPF (talk) 18:26, 28 July 2019 (UTC)

OTRS Ticket:2019072810002246 overlaps Ticket:2019072810002219 and they've now been merged‎. No URL's were provided, nor was my email requesting additional information answered by the submitter. These tickets pertain to File:Raitahu 3.jpg and File:Raitahu 4.jpg‎ only, not the other files listed.  JGHowes  ^talk 15:03, 30 July 2019 (UTC)

Pinging @JGHowes Only two files? I cut the important parts of the images, before uploading them at the two other files. URL could not have been provided, because I loaded the Files up for the creator. Which aditional informations are needed? I can try to contact Tiago. --JPF (talk) 05:59, 31 July 2019 (UTC)

J. Patrick Fischer,  Done except for Liurai Angelo , the current Liurai of Uma Ua'in Craic.jpg, which is not attached to this OTRS ticket. Commons files Raitahu 1.jpg and Raitahu 2.png didn't match the photos attached to the OTRS ticket that the copyright holder has licensed. As such, they couldn't be processed. Instead, I've uploaded the uncropped file that was emailed to OTRS by Tiago Amaral Sarmento (see File:East Timor people at Raitahu volcano.png) and used {{Extracted from}} for your cropped versions.  JGHowes  ^talk 11:26, 31 July 2019 (UTC)

Thank you. I am contacting Tiago about the Liurai-File. --JPF (talk) 18:23, 31 July 2019 (UTC)

Did a new email of Tiago arrive? He said, he wanted to send additional images, which would need to be uploaded. If you can do this with the category:East Timor, I can categorize the rest. Or you can send the mail to me for uploading. --JPF (talk) 07:03, 1 August 2019 (UTC)

Mushlack

Can someone search OTRS (and OTRS-NL, Ciell?) for Mushlack and w:Lieven Scheire? - Alexis Jazz ^{ping plz} 18:35, 2 August 2019 (UTC)

@Alexis Jazz: Searching for "Mushlack", I found no hits. Searching for "Lieven Scheire", I found one hit, Ticket:2011021010016949, in Dutch in the "permissions::permissions-nl::wikiportret" queue. It appears from a Google translation that we requested clarification a few days after the ticket was generated, but never heard back from the customer.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 20:22, 2 August 2019 (UTC)

@Jeff G.: What file(s) does that concern? - Alexis Jazz ^{ping plz} 20:48, 2 August 2019 (UTC)

There's another ticket in permissions. Can you be a bit more specific in your question Alexis Jazz? Ciell (talk) 20:54, 2 August 2019 (UTC)

@Alexis Jazz: I can't tell, the given URL from 8 years ago encounters too many redirects today.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 21:00, 2 August 2019 (UTC)

@Ciell: The question is: can we confirm that Mushlack is Lieven Scheire? - Alexis Jazz ^{ping plz} 21:04, 2 August 2019 (UTC)

@Alexis Jazz: LS does write on Wikipedia, and Mushlack's Dutch talkpage does suggest this connection, but no: there is no confirmation of this in OTRS. Ciell (talk) 22:03, 2 August 2019 (UTC)

@Ciell: Beetje lullig, but if someone would nominate for example File:Jonas Geirnaert.JPG for deletion, the result may well be "OTRS needed". Is there some OTRS ticket from Lieven Scheire you can reply to, or perhaps I should ask on his talk page? Btw, who was the claimed photographer on File:Ettienne met het open verhemelte.jpg and the first versions of File:Piet De Praitere.jpg? - Alexis Jazz ^{ping plz} 22:37, 2 August 2019 (UTC)

@Alexis Jazz: Technically and ideally, that should not happen because there is an "own work" claim which trumps the discrepancy between the author and the uploader user name. However, I am well aware that we do not live in an ideal world. 4nn1l2 (talk) 22:55, 2 August 2019 (UTC)

@4nn1l2: In general it would, or at least it should. In this case, Lieven Scheire is a celebrity, which also explains why he was able to take some of the photos that he did. It's likely he has met Piet De Praitere and took some photos, but I can't see the details on those deleted files. (don't know who the photographer was claimed to be) I personally have little doubt that Mushlack is actually Lieven Scheire, but I can't actually prove it. - Alexis Jazz ^{ping plz} 23:36, 2 August 2019 (UTC)

@Alexis Jazz: The deleted versions of File:Piet De Praitere.jpg have not been claimed to be own work. The same applies to File:Ettienne met het open verhemelte.jpg. Here is what you need:

File:Piet De Praitere.jpg --> |source=Piet De Praitere |author=Tom Verbruggen 

File:Ettienne met het open verhemelte.jpg --> |source=Piet De Praitere |author=Guy Kokken

Maalavika Manoj

Has Commons received a mail from the singer Maalavika Manoj alias Mali saying we can use this image of her that I uploaded? She mailed me saying she sent the mail as required. Her mail ID starts with malimanoj93 (for personal reasons I cannot show the full mail ID) --Kailash29792 (talk) 14:04, 4 August 2019 (UTC)

Kailash29792: I've applied the assigned ticket number to the image but it's another OTRS agent's ticket. Ww2censor (talk) 16:37, 4 August 2019 (UTC)

Is there anything else I should do now? Or is it entirely up to her now? Has she sent any additional mail clarifying copyright? --Kailash29792 (talk) 11:18, 5 August 2019 (UTC)

@Kailash29792: We replied to her re Ticket:2019080310004753 Sat, 3 Aug 2019 22:26:39 +0000 and have not heard back from her yet. Pinging @Ganímedes.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 11:38, 6 August 2019 (UTC)

Alright, I'll do something. What should I ask Mali? If she traced the photographer and got his consent? But a colour version of the picture is used on Mali's official website, so doesn't that make her the actual owner? --Kailash29792 (talk) 14:51, 6 August 2019 (UTC)

@Kailash29792: We need to know who the photographer is, how she got {{Cc-by-sa-3.0}} consent from that person, and ideally a scan of the written consent or copyright transfer agreement or a way to reach that person electronically.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 20:37, 6 August 2019 (UTC)

Sorry about late answer. Yes, that's right. --Ganímedes (talk) 10:47, 7 August 2019 (UTC)

@Kailash29792: On second thought, permission for the color version would also be helpful.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 11:37, 7 August 2019 (UTC)

"Yes, that's right" is the answer to which of my questions? That I should mail her asking if she traced the photographer and got {{Cc-by-sa-3.0}} consent from him, and a scan of the written consent or copyright transfer agreement or a way to reach that person electronically? Typically, photographers here are underappreciated nobodies who do not own the rights to their photographs as they take them only for others in exchange for cash. That makes them even harder to trace. And the picture (albeit in colour) being on Mali's website does not prove that she is the new owner of the image, and is simply using someone else's image? Please say, and I will ask her accordingly. --Kailash29792 (talk) 12:04, 7 August 2019 (UTC)

No, please. Sorry. "Yes, that's right" it's referred to Jeff G.' comment. The photographer should email us directly using Commons:Consent template, and adding re Ticket:2019080310004753 in the subject line of the email. Or she can prove she owns the copyrights showing us the copy of the contract with the photographer, if this is the case. Regards. --Ganímedes (talk) 16:02, 7 August 2019 (UTC)

Okay, I have asked her to tell the photographer to directly mail you guys. Meanwhile, if I want to use the colour photograph used on the website, who should I ask? By your statements, it seems Mali still isn't the proven legal owner even if it appears on her website. --Kailash29792 (talk) 17:16, 7 August 2019 (UTC)

@Kailash29792 and Ganímedes: That should be "[Ticket#: 2019080310004753]" without quotes in the subject.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 19:40, 7 August 2019 (UTC)

I mailed her, and she agreed to tell the photographer to mail as asked. She didn't name him, but if you find a mail from him, please tell me so I can contact him if he made a mistake. --Kailash29792 (talk) 03:07, 8 August 2019 (UTC)

@Kailash29792: Ok. Please note that we have the same situation with regard to Ticket:2017012710005591, but with a named photographer.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 07:11, 8 August 2019 (UTC)

Unfortunately, I am not an OTRS member, hence I cannot view these tickets. Mali mailed me at 11:08pm IST (Indian Standard Time), saying she told the photographer to mail you guys, but who knows? Maybe he hasn't mailed you yet, maybe he has. Maybe he has mailed with mistakes (such as forgetting to attach the photo). But please be on the lookout. --Kailash29792 (talk) 07:26, 8 August 2019 (UTC)

@Kailash29792: Thanks. Are you starting to realize the importance of having your correspondents and their correspondents carbon copy you on their emails to permissions-commons, or at least to provide you with ticket numbers they receive?   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 16:41, 8 August 2019 (UTC)

Yes I do. Now Mali has sent me a mail saying, "He mailed them and they responded saying they’ve taken note of it". And you guys really did, so thank you and apologies if I did something wrong. --Kailash29792 (talk) 17:29, 8 August 2019 (UTC)

@Kailash29792: I'm glad to read that. Please note that his email message created a new ticket because he used "Subject: re Ticket:2019080310004753". I consolidated the two tickets.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 02:54, 11 August 2019 (UTC)

Ticket #2011111310006106

In Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Erinbeyer87 it is claimed that the OTRS ticket is invalid. Can someone please confirm? Gbawden (talk) 08:22, 29 August 2019 (UTC)

@Gbawden: : The ticket provides permission for File:SyrenDehumanized.jpg, File:Jolive.jpg, File:Bibelotlive.JPG, File:Amandafretless.JPG, and File:Amandaupright.JPG. This ticket would likely not have been accepted under current standards because it does not contain an explicit release under a specific free license. Permission for the album cover appears to come directly from the copyright holder, but the other files do not specify how the sender became the copyright holder. I would reccomend that the last 4 of those files be deleted, but I have no opinion on the album cover. --AntiCompositeNumber (talk) 00:15, 30 August 2019 (UTC)

A number of files under this ticket number are listed under Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Carrotcake5. Can someone confirm that the OTRS is valid? Gbawden (talk) 13:21, 29 August 2019 (UTC)

@Gbawden: There was nothing wrong with the permission. There was no reason to doubt the contact and AGF the permission was correctly handled. So I restored the images, but on a second look it is indeed really suspicious that there was no EXIF information and no information on the original file in OTRS (which is not required, but sometimes asked if we doubt ownership). So I think deleting them was the right decision. Ciell (talk) 17:22, 18 September 2019 (UTC)

ticket:2012090210006666

This was added with {{OTRS}} by a non-OTRS member to File:Awesomenauts - Screenshot 18.jpg back in 2012. Nobody noticed this until today, so I guess we still need an official processing of this ticket. Can anyone please check the status? De728631 (talk) 22:27, 29 August 2019 (UTC)

Mmmmmmmmm, we've received two emails in the same ticket, with the message: "The attached files have been released under a CC-BY-SA license by their rights holder, as specified below. I have uploaded them to http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Awesomenauts, where they await your confirmation."

An agent close the ticket as "All tagged on Commons". Ticket include several files. There's no more information about. Regards. --Ganímedes (talk) 23:50, 29 August 2019 (UTC)

Thank you. I think this explains the case. Would you mind re-adding the OTRS tag to File:Awesomenauts - Screenshot 18.jpg? I had removed it today because of the unclear status. De728631 (talk) 00:00, 30 August 2019 (UTC)

I'm doubtful about the idea to proceed. It seems copyright holders didn't email us directly. Perhaps it was the style in 2012, so I prefer to wait till another agent comment here. Regards. --Ganímedes (talk) 00:13, 30 August 2019 (UTC)

Ganímedes De728631: I looked a bit further and see the uploader, who placed the OTSRS ticket in the file page, appears to be MIA but there are two game company email contacts in the ticket, both of which appears to be the actual copyright holders of different sets of images, so I would suggest someone try making contact with them to clarify. All the images, 18 in total, from the set this one is from are at Category:Awesomenauts and there are instructions for attribution which none of the files conforms with. Nine more images are here Category:The Ball plus another 7 are here Category:Unmechanical. Apparently no OTRS review ever took place but I don't know what the procedure was in 2012 either. On closer inspection I see Jean-Frédéric did verify many other images just a bit later then these ones from the same uploader with those forwarded permissions. Let see what he says. Ww2censor (talk) 17:34, 4 September 2019 (UTC)

Hey folks!

@Ww2censor: To clarify, which “many other images” are you referring to? I did verify many video-game images back in the days, including from Hahnchen, and as far as I remember everything was in order.

As for the “MIA uploader”, do you mean @Hahnchen: ? If so, they’re still very active around here, pinging them to get their views.

Jean-Fred (talk) 18:16, 4 September 2019 (UTC)

I don't know where I got the idea Hahnchen was not around but that changes nothing regarding this set of images in Category:Awesomenauts to which they added an OTRS ticket without being an OTRS agent. I mentioned Jean-Frédéric's approvals of other Hahnchen uploads, that all look in order, only because he verified several of Hahnchen's uploads mostly found in Hahnchen's 2012-13 uploads page [16], such as these Category:Rock of Ages (video game) from Ticket:2012090310013905, Category:Dustforce from Ticket:2013051410000485 or Category:Trine 2 from Ticket:2013042610008573. Perhaps Jean-Frédéric can tell us whether it was usual in 2012-13 to accept forwarded or proxy permissions that are now not allowed. Having approved several other images by Hahnchen perhaps Jean-Frédéric is the best person to review the ticket for an opinion. Ww2censor (talk) 23:17, 4 September 2019 (UTC)

They did not, @FSIII: did − who indeed is not active anymore (that may have bene the confusion)

Unfortunately, my OTRS access was removed last year so I’m afraid I can’t look into any of these tickets anymore.

If I recall, at the very least forwarded permissions were not encouraged, but I can’t remember whether they were occasionally accepted or not. Jean-Fred (talk) 14:24, 5 September 2019 (UTC)

Jean-Frédéric you are right it was actually User:FSIII. I must be working too late these days. Pity about your OTRS access as we need more agents. Thanks anyway. Ww2censor (talk) 16:44, 5 September 2019 (UTC)

File:To the Witches' Revels.jpg

About a month ago I uploaded a file, File:To the Witches' Revels.jpg, for which the copyright owner had sent an OTRS email licensing it for use here. Nevertheless, it was just deleted without warning. Is it not policy for files with the {{OTRS pending}} template to remain on Commons while their respective emails remain unprocessed?

Relatedly, it looks like the backlog is down to only 9 days. Impressive! It makes me wonder, however, if the email at issue might have gone awry. --Usernameunique (talk) 00:01, 31 August 2019 (UTC)

@Usernameunique: I could not find a ticket for that file in the OTRS system. If you have a ticket number or more information about the email, I might be able to find it. {{OTRS pending}} does not prevent a file from being deleted. Once an email for a file has been received, it will be tagged with {{OTRS received}} by Krdbot or a human agent. Files with {{OTRS received}} are deleted 30 days after the first response by an OTRS agent if permission has not been confirmed. If a valid permission statement is recieved for this file, it will be undeleted. --AntiCompositeNumber (talk) 00:25, 31 August 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for the response, AntiCompositeNumber. I believe the email was sent around July 6, from an email address ending in "woolleyandwallis.co.uk". If you need more information (full email/name), just email me. --Usernameunique (talk) 01:11, 31 August 2019 (UTC)

@Usernameunique: All I can find from that domain is ticket:2017070510019534 for File:Percy Anderson - Minton's earthenware wall plaque.jpg. The person who emailed us should have recieved an automatic reply with a ticket number. If they did not recieve a ticket number, please have them re-send the permission statement to permissions-commonswikimedia.org. --AntiCompositeNumber (talk) 01:20, 31 August 2019 (UTC)

Games Workshop

Recently, I have been in dispute over File:Warhammer AoS Lind.jpg. It's a photo of a Warhammer game. The photo is public domain (the photographer released it) but the toys in it are copyright. This photo was nominated for deletion under COM:TOYS. I sent an email to Games Workshop's legal department, asking for their permission to use it. Their response was that they don't consider this kind of photo to be an infringement in the first place. They sent the following email to [email protected] :

"Good afternoon,

I have been in contact with [Kurzon] regarding a dispute he is having with Wikipedia over the use of an image and possible copyright infringement. We at Games Workshop, pursuant to our IP Policy, do not give express permission for the use of our IP except in the case of revenue-generating licences.

This aside, we do not consider that photographs taken by members of the public, hobbyists and customers constitute intellectual property owned by Games Workshop. We therefore do not consider the images in question to be property of Games Workshop and do not object to their use.

Kind regards,

Matt Galloway
Group Legal Advisor
Telephone: +44 (0)115 900 4924

Oh, I see on his talk page, Huji (talk · contribs) is the OTRS agent. Huji, what is the ticket number? I tried searching, but couldn't find it (presumably because of the non-Latin characters). --B (talk) 13:11, 8 January 2019 (UTC)

Jeff G., I added {{subst:OP}} and would rather defer to an OTRS agent to add the date of the OTRS mail. — Racconish ^💬 15:00, 9 January 2019 (UTC)

Here is all the deatils I can provide. ticket:2018122910002094 was originally sent to permissions-commons@ and then forwarded to info-fa@ because of it being in Persian. The original email has a link to the picture on Commons, and the sender of the email states (in Persian) that he or she is releasing this photo under CC-BY-SA 4.0 license. The sender's address and name indicate that it is not a person, but a legal entity (it appears to be the "official" email address for an entity (not a person), though the email address is from a publicly available email server).

I am sending this back to permissions-commons assuming that it will make some of you able to access it. Let me know if that worked. Also let me know if you have questions.

My question for you is: what are the procedures for handing these permissions emails? Just because someone sends an email in which they claim to be the copyright holder of a photo, do we accept their claim? Or are there additional checks we do? Huji (talk) 15:20, 9 January 2019 (UTC)

@Huji: (Please remember to be careful about what you post publicly from OTRS tickets. I don't know that you want to say the claimants name here unless it has been published already on Wikipedia/Commons.) The first thing I usually do with a free email address is Google the email address and see if it is associated with the person or entity that is the apparent copyright holder. If it is, then at least you know that you're not talking with some random person who just made up an email address. In this case, I'm not sure who the copyright holder is, so I did a Google Image Search for this image and found it previously published at [18]. I can't tell from looking at it in Google Translate what, if anything, they say about the source/copyright of this image, but maybe you can tell from reading it in Farsi? If you are not completely convinced that the person you are speaking with is the copyright holder, then you can ask them to clarify. Ask HOW they became the copyright holder - are they the photographer of the image? --B (talk) 16:13, 9 January 2019 (UTC)

@B: I modified the text so it is less speicific, and asked an Oversighter to hide the in-between revisions. Even though what I shared was not really "private" information, it is best to be less specific on wiki. Huji (talk) 18:24, 9 January 2019 (UTC)

Also, I looked at the website you found. The website doesn't specify copyright status, but that is quite common among website in Persian. In those cases, we (at Wikipedia) assume the content is copyrighted. The sender of the email seems to be the admin of that website (based on name and email address), but should I ask them to somehow verify that? I will certainly ask them about who the photographer is as well. Huji (talk) 18:26, 9 January 2019 (UTC)

In this particular case, I don't know that verification that they are the owner of the website is necessarily the issue. The issue is asking where the photo came from originally. Did they take the photo? (I will sometimes say, "did you, personally, hold the camera in your hand and click the button?" That spells out exactly what we mean.) Did someone provide them with the photo? Is it an old family photo that has been passed down? If they, personally, held the camera in their hand and took the photo, then their license is valid. If someone provided them with the photo, then we probably need permission from that person. If the photo is an old family photo from a long time ago, then we need more information about where it came from. --B (talk) 20:02, 9 January 2019 (UTC)

@Racconish: If I move the ticket back to info-fa, could you please handle it? Please just kindly ask the above questions from B; basically: "Who's the photographer and where was it first published? Can they provide us the original photo?" If you agree, I move the ticket back and we can continue using notes in the ticket itself. Thanks --Ruthven (msg) 13:02, 6 July 2019 (UTC)

Files uploaded by Gruener Panda

Hi, In 2016 and 2017, User:Gruener Panda uploaded several images of coins copied from the website coininvest.com. The website is "all rights reserved". On Commons, some of those files have OTRS tags and others do not. I could not discern any obvious general logic to explain why some files have a tag and others don't. On the files that have OTRS tags, the ticket numbers seem different for each file, so I assume that each ticket is specific to one file. But for the files that do not have a tag, is there some ticket somewhere that might be a sort of blanket free license from coininvest.com for those images? If not, I suppose the files without a tag must be deleted. It can be seen in the logs that some files have already been deleted. N.B.: Many files uploaded by this user must be deleted anyway because the coin designs are not free in the first place, but that's another problem. At least, files that show public domain coin designs, if any, could be kept if there is a valid ticket for the images. -- Asclepias (talk) 00:49, 21 June 2019 (UTC)

Hi, Asclepias. Very sorry about delay. I've been looking at this matter a little closer. Files with ticket are:

• File:100g Bar casted size 2.png - Ticket:2016111810009701

Confusion over OTRS permission

Hello, I'm writing in regards to an image I uploaded by Robin Glover. The owner's material was approved by a OTRS member several years ago, and was granted ticket #2016121610002899. An OTRS member created this template ==Licensing== {{Rocket Robin's Soccer in Toronto}}, which clearly states "This work is free and may be used by anyone for any purpose. If you wish to use this content, you do not need to request permission as long as you follow any licensing requirements mentioned on this page. Wikimedia has received an e-mail confirming that the copyright holder has approved publication under the terms mentioned on this page. This correspondence has been reviewed by an OTRS member and stored in our permission archive. The correspondence is available to trusted volunteers as ticket #2016121610002899."

For some reason Patrick Rogel (talk has requested deletion of this page. [21] Can someone address this issue please because I spent several days communicating with the owner and OTRS members in order to freely use these photos. This ticket number must be legitimate because this template wouldn't exist, and the correspondence must of been reviewed by an OTRS member and stored in their permission archive. Thanks Shotgun pete (talk) 7:55, 19 September 2019 (UTC)

The nomination of that image for deletion might be based on the perception that the OTRS ticket wasn't added by an OTRS volunteer to this image.[22] Though this is technically true, the license-template itself, {{Rocket Robin's Soccer in Toronto}}, which is related to this ticket, had been approved by an OTRS volunteer. --Túrelio (talk) 20:17, 19 September 2019 (UTC)

I cropped an image with an OTRS tag

I cropped an image with an OTRS tag. My memory played me false. I found an image with an OTRS tag on en.wiki, and I used one of our image transfer tools to transfer the image to the commons.

Dyolf77 deleted the cropped image, File:Denyse Tontz at ABC Disney International Upfronts.jpg, as a copyright violation.

I went looking for the image I cropped it from, and it too seems to have been deleted. Because I used an image transfer tool to transfer what looked an image with a proper OTRS tag from en.wiki.

I [left a note on User_talk:Dyolf77, where I asked whether an OTRS ticket should not over-ride the claims of wire services.

Shouldn't concerned contributors show sufficient respect to OTRS tags that they don't summarily speedy delete those images as copyright violations?

If a concerned contributor has a concern over the copyright status of an image with an OTRS tag shouldn't they show respect to the OTRS team to at least initiate a full discussion over its copyright status?

Could someone here, who has the right permission, look at the deleted images and report back with the actual OTRS ticket number?

Thanks! Geo Swan (talk) 13:49, 21 June 2019 (UTC)

Dear Geo Swan, the OTRS ticket:2019052110008981 was closed with the conclusion of that: "the file is not allowed on Wikimedia Commons". Regards. — D Y O L F 77^[Talk] 13:53, 21 June 2019 (UTC)

Just pinging AntiCompositeNumber who nominated the file for the SD. — D Y O L F 77^[Talk] 14:30, 21 June 2019 (UTC)

Hello Geo Swan. I nominated the file for speedy deletion under COM:L because the license provided was the Getty Images Rights-Managed license. The Getty RM license is "limited to the specific use, medium, period of time, print run, placement, size of content, and territory selected" which renders it nonfree and not suitable for Commons. In my experience, tickets with licenses from commercial image companies almost never result in a free license. If the photographer contacts OTRS with a release under a free license, the file can of course be restored. --AntiCompositeNumber (talk) 15:04, 21 June 2019 (UTC)

Oh, one more thing: Please do not copy images with {{OTRS pending}} or {{OTRS received}} to Commons. Their copyright status has not been checked, and copying them to Commons before they have been tagged with {{OTRS permission}} makes the process more difficult. Thanks, AntiCompositeNumber (talk) 15:06, 21 June 2019 (UTC)

The emergency air-droppable Humanitarian Daily Ration were originally air-dropped into war-zones in yellow bags -- unfortunately the same color as air-dropped cluster-bombs, which resulted in widespread civilian casualties.

Thank goodness those in charge realized it didn't make sense to blame the hungry refugees who had their arms blown off when they confused cluster-bombs with emergency Humanitarian Daily Ration, and they changed the color of the bags to "salmon". Commons should do the same for our confusing templates.

• I saw an OTRS tag. You guys seem to be implying the tag I saw was merely an {{OTRS pending}} or {{OTRS received}}. OK I am going to call on the support of Captain Sully, who recently testified offering his long experience as a flight safety expert, about the confusing messages the jets that recently crashed give pilots.
• Short summary just as in flight safety, when the design choices in our templates confuses people, it is the templates that are to blame, not good faith contributors. In particular, if the most important message people should learn from {{OTRS pending}} or {{OTRS received}} is that those images are not ready to be re-used, then that should be the first thing those templates should say, and it should be in bold.
• Human factors experts have a long history of criticizing the design decisions in the "fly-by-wire" computer systems of first Airbus, and more recently Boeing airliners. For those who don't know, the fly-by-wire control computers in those airliners can over-ride the pilots. When the computers over-ride the pilots they bombard the pilot with loud, and, unfortunately usually unfamiliar warnings. Usually the poor pilot is soon bombarded with a cascade of half a dozen or a dozen loud and unfamiliar warnings. When the planes crash, after the computer control system has over-ridden the pilot, the manufacturers make an extreme effort to blame the pilot. They'd argue it was the pilot's fault that he or she wasn't aware of all the possible warnings they might receive, it was the pilot's fault that multiple loud and overlapping warnings distracted them when they had mere seconds to make the right decisions. Human factors experts defend those pilots, and criticize the manufacturers for poor design decisions.
• I'm with the human factors experts on this one. I've seen the same thing with how our image information pages mislead our good faith readers, who want to re-use our images, with the proper attribution, yet fail, because our pages are designed to give the uploader much more prominence than the copyright holder.
• Every few months I do a google image search, of "Geo Swan", to see how many of the several thousand of my own images I uploaded to the commons are in use by third party readers. It makes me happy to see my images used. It makes me sad to see how many good faith commons readers have misunderstood our general image information pages, and incorrectly attribute authorship to me of images I merely uploaded. Images I uploaded being incorrectly credited to me are much more common than the re-use of images I took myself.
• That is fucked up. I have tried to draw this to the community's attention, on multiple occasions. And I am afraid each time a common response is (paraphrasing) "All those third party re-users who credited you, the uploader, not the copyright holder, are morons. Don't ask us to take the stupidity of morons into account in our design decisions."
• I'd tell those people, and I will state here, the commons WMF projects should not be some kind of test of who is really paying attention, as we are all volunteers, doing this work in our spare time. So can we try to make sure our templates don't contain hidden tricks?
• These images I took myself... [23], [24]
• These images were incorrectly attributed to me, by good faith third parties, who misunderstood our general image information pages, which place more emphasis on the uploader, than the actual copyright holder... [25], [26], [27], [28], [29], [30], [31]... Geo Swan (talk) 03:46, 22 June 2019 (UTC)

  @Geo Swan: Sorry, the tag was on English Wikipedia.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 04:58, 22 June 2019 (UTC)

  • You are correct, the templates were on en.wiki. The OTRS team has authority across WMF projects, correct? Geo Swan (talk) 05:06, 22 June 2019 (UTC)

    We don't have authority over anyone; the templates are subject to normal editing processes. If you have specific suggestions for how to reword the templates, feel free to discuss it on the template talk pages. --AntiCompositeNumber (talk) 14:57, 23 June 2019 (UTC)

If the nominator's claim about authorship in this DR (former speedy) Commons:Deletion requests/File:Fabian Plak (Legavolley 2019).jpg is true (as seems to be the case), the whole validity of the related OTRS ticket for "Lega Pallavolo Serie A" might be a stake. Please check. --Túrelio (talk) 08:47, 14 September 2019 (UTC)

This ticket is in Italian. Ping Ruthven who handled the ticket. --AntiCompositeNumber (talk) 15:32, 14 September 2019 (UTC)

@Túrelio and AntiCompositeNumber: The ticket is about the agreement with LegaVolley that allows to use the content of http://www.legavolley.it under a free license. So, we've first to check if the file nominated for deletion appears on the website. If not, the uploader abused of an OTRS permission and should be blocked. If the file appears on the website, the author should ask them to remove the file, and only then come back to us for the deletion (as we're talking about professionals, it is very possible that the photographer has a contract with the LegaVolley – which is the Italian National Volley League). --Ruthven (msg) 15:59, 14 September 2019 (UTC)

An unpublished photo of a living person

Hi! If a person pictured claims to be the sole author of their own photo (claims to have used a timer on a DSLR), can I upload it to Commons if the person is eager to send an OTRS permission? Shouldn't the use of a timer be somehow represented in the metadata for the file? Because I don't see any mention of this in metadata, and didn't happen to deal with such cases earlier.--Piramidion (talk) 16:34, 25 September 2019 (UTC)

@Piramidion: Sadly, our display of metadata on file description pages doesn't include timer data. You can use http://exif.regex.info/exif.cgi to display all the metadata.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 16:54, 25 September 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for the link! I tried to use it, but it seems there's no such a field to provide any info on the use of a self-timer. I tried to look up some info regarding this issue, and to me it seems that there's no way to prove that the photo has been taken using a self-timer. I assume that the OTRS permission should be enough in this case, and I may upload the photo to Commons after the permission is sent. Am I right? (I'm asking this just to make sure the photo won't get deleted and I wont spend my time and efforts in vain)--Piramidion (talk) 18:10, 25 September 2019 (UTC)

If they specify in their release statement that it was taken by them using a self timer, and there's nothing else problematic about the release, it should be sufficient. --AntiCompositeNumber (talk) 00:54, 26 September 2019 (UTC)

File:Максим Грищук на Монблані.jpg

There was this file with an OTRS permission received, but it was deleted because the authorship of the OTRS permission sender couldn't be confirmed. So I have this question: there were four of us climbing that mountain, and I happened to capture the moment of this exact picture being taken. If I sent that video fragment to OTRS and provided some other evidence (like pictures and links to the author's Facebook page with relevant pictures in it), would that be enough to back up the authorship claim and restore the photo? Or it won't work that way? --Piramidion (talk) 16:46, 25 September 2019 (UTC)

@Piramidion: That would be helpful, as would having the Facebook user comment on https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=2116192165118445&set=a.738892602848415&type=3&theater with permission.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 17:00, 25 September 2019 (UTC)

I tried to convince him to do that, even posted a direct question about the authorship, but the user refuses to comment due to some personal dislike of the use of that exact photo. But IMHO, it seems unfair in regard to the actual author who actually bothered to send a permission. So, should I send the video, or should I better try to retrieve a different free photo? (I guess, this question is more like about a personal opinion)--Piramidion (talk) 17:48, 25 September 2019 (UTC)

@Piramidion: Yes, please send the video or forward the photographer's message to permissions-ukwikimedia.org with a subject including "Re: [Ticket#2019072910003672]" without quotes, and carbon copy the photographer.

@ Jeff G. How do I do this? OTRS can be hard if its the first use. --VKras (talk) 08:28, 15 September 2019 (UTC)

@VKras: providing a contract between you? asking the photographar to confirm the authorization? Depends on what is the legal basis for it. You cannot take actions on someone's else ownership without proper authorization. Ankry (talk) 08:36, 15 September 2019 (UTC)

@Ankry: Of cource the photographer gave me permission to use their work here. This is in my gmail. I went through Interactive Release Generator! I have trouble with accomplishing. What about the email details on how and why I represented the photographer in this matter. --VKras (talk) 08:42, 15 September 2019 (UTC)

@VKras: Permission "to use" does not grant you right to license it, not to upload it here, if no license is granted. The permission must be to use by anybody for any purpose, including commercial reuse and derivative work creation. And should contain declaration that author will not revoke it in future. These are minimal requirements. Ankry (talk) 08:50, 15 September 2019 (UTC)

@VKras: I doubt that an email allows you to act as the photographer's agent. License is a legal contract that bounds both sides; will the photographer honour what you signed? IMO, the photographer should send the appropriate license declaration themselves. Ankry (talk) 08:57, 15 September 2019 (UTC)

Files uploaded by Bgrubinger

The username Bgrubinger (talk · contributions · Number of edits · recent activity · block log · User rights log · uploads · Global account information) (assign permissions) resembles the name listed at https://www.krallerhof.com/de/service-info/presse/. File:Der Krallerhof 1959.jpg was supposedly taken in 1959, which would mean its photographer would likely be at least around 80 years old if still alive and therefore unlikely to still be working. According to the metadata of File:Hotel Krallerhof im Sommer.jpg, the author of that photograph is Peter Podpera. Yet the file descriptions of the files uploaded by Bgrubinger state that she is the author (i.e. photographer) and that the photographs are her own work. Does the OTRS permission address or explain these discrepancies? —LX (talk, contribs) 12:33, 11 August 2019 (UTC)

Permission is written in german. --Ganímedes (talk) 19:00, 11 August 2019 (UTC)

My question wasn't what language it was in. My question was whether the very unlikely authorship claims are made any more likely by the details of the supposed permission. —LX (talk, contribs) 15:09, 17 September 2019 (UTC)

@LX: That note wasn't directed at you, that is a note for other OTRS agents. By putting the language for non-English tickets under a request written in English, it tells OTRS agents that don't speak the language that they do not need to try to check the ticket and it tells OTRS agents that do speak the language that they should check the ticket. It also serves as an indication as to why this request may take longer to be answered. Since no one has answered in the past month or so, I'll see if I can find a German-speaking agent. --AntiCompositeNumber (talk) 15:51, 17 September 2019 (UTC)

@LX: , you've got e-mail from OTRS agent.--188.238.14.246 18:46, 17 September 2019 (UTC)

I took a look at the ticket and there's nothing that supports claim that User:Bgrubinger is the photographer. Sorry, but can't give any exact details. --Htm (talk) 04:33, 18 September 2019 (UTC)

@LX: This picture is a cross-wiki upload from the German Wikipedia, so we (or a German admin, if the original file has already been deleted) should look at the original uploader on the German Wikipedia, maybe that's not Bgrubinger.

Even so: there were open questions in the last email from OTRS and the supposed owner did not reply: the permission was not confirmed by the OTRS agent. I propose to start a DR, or to nominate for deletion for lack of permission. Ciell (talk) 20:22, 21 September 2019 (UTC)

Some of my uploaded audio files have been deleted by JuTa for the second time; the painful part is that the declaration of consent was sent to the email provided. I request that this be looked into as it is very discouraging to go through the rigorous process of getting copyright declaration from work owners and still have the files deleted without warning. Besides these are project documentation files. Kindly find below the names of deleted files:

File:Jan Logie in 2019.jpg

According to the description in this file, the uploader has sent permission to @HenryCrun15: . Has anything been received via OTRS? Gbawden (talk) 06:36, 18 October 2019 (UTC)

Hi @Gbawden: . When requesting the photo, I used the template at WP:BRP. This form only asks the copyright holder to either email permissions at wikipedia, or email the editor that contacted them. In this case they chose to do the latter, and emailed only me, but I understand that fufills the requirements. If it's not enough and there is more needed, please let me know what steps I need to take. HenryCrun15 (talk) 08:01, 18 October 2019 (UTC)

There is currently no open OTRS related to this file. Please ask the copyright holder to send the release to OTRS. --Krd 13:59, 19 October 2019 (UTC)

Permission verification (in Portuguese)

In 27 July 2019, the author of these images sent an email containing the details of the permission to use the images on Wikimedia. This e-mail, in Portuguese, has been received, but has not yet been verified. I would appreciate if a OTRS volunteer could verify it. Thanks.

ticket:2011052810002915

This ticket was mentioned in one previous undeletion of File:Mysteryerik.jpg, but it seems the file was never marked as having a permission. There is now another UDR ongoing, so could someone please check the archives and verify that the ticket was valid before? De728631 (talk) 23:58, 20 October 2019 (UTC)

Hi, De728631. As far as I can see, there is no permission in that ticket back in 2011. The customer (the one in the picture, owner of the camera) only wants to change a possible vandalism in the description. No permission by the photographer was sent, or requested. The same customer admits the file was used by a number of websites prior to upload the file to Commons. Regards. --Ganímedes (talk) 00:34, 21 October 2019 (UTC)

[Ticket#2019091310003868] en attente de réponse

Bonjour,

Le 13 septembre dernier à 12:44 j'ai demandé une permission OTRS pour la File:Les voyages de Turms l’Étrusque.jpg (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Les_voyages_de_Turms_l%E2%80%99%C3%89trusque.jpg) et j’ai reçu de suite une réponse automatique à 12:45 qui était intitulée [Ticket#2019091310003868] Re: Demande de permission OTRS pour un travail personnel intitulé File:Les voyages de Turms l’Étrusque.j [...] .

Le 14 octobre dernier à 11;51 j'ai renvoyé un email détaillé de ce problème après un mois sans réponse, envoyé encore à Permissions - Wikimédia Francophone [email protected] avec mention dans le sujet du [Ticket#2019091310003868].

Une semaine s'est encore écoulée sans réponse aujourd'hui. Est-ce qu'il y a eu un problème de réception d'email(s) pour que cinq semaines s'écoulent sans réponse aucune ?

 Thank you. Ganimedes de votre réponse rapide. Cela me pose une nouvelle question car après 30 jours sans réponse automatiquement un bot supprime le lien de la File importée dans Commons et qui de ce fait n'est plus visible dans l'article où elle apportait une illustration importante. Est-ce que lorsque le demande de permission ensuite est donnée positivement et que cette demande est acceptée, la File revient dans Commons parce que le lien est rétabli, et alors elle peut de nouveau illustrer l'article pour lequel cette File a été créée ? J'ai 84 ans et je suis le doyen du Wikimooc 2017 au cours duquel je n'ai jamais appris les règles spécifiques de Commons et encore moins des demandes de permissions OTRS. Avec les 10 articles dont je suis le premier contributeur dans l'encyclopédie, je persiste et signe à contribuer malgré mes manques de connaissances des règles complexes. Peut être n'aurais-je pas dû demander une permission OTRS pour la File:Les voyages de Turms l’Étrusque.jpg car ells n'en avait pas besoin, et alors elle serait restée en illustration dans l'article L’Étrusque - Wikipédia (https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/L%27%C3%89trusque) sans avoir à craindre d'être (temporairement ?) supprimée en lien automatiquement par un bot après 30 jours sans réponse ? Dans quel cas faut-il demander une permission OTRS pour une oeuvre personnelle ? Merci de bien vouloir répondre à mes questions et peut être aussi dans ma Page de Discussion d'Utilisateur:Pierre Raymond Esteve.

Apollo Amsterdam

A representative of Apollo Amsterdam wants their old logo replaced with a new version. The old logo currently used on the commons and multiple other Wikimedia projects uses a public domain ineligible copyright tag. There is a current but slightly different logo used on the English Wikipedia under Fair Use(File:Correct logo Apollo Amsterdam.png). I am not sure if the new logo meets threshold of originality under Netherlands copyright law. Since images hosted on the commons have to be freely licensed in the source country (Netherlands in this case), I want to make sure the newer logo can be hosted here. The representative attached a document that they claim to be a registration of the logo's copyright but I can not tell if it is a copyright or trademark registration. The email is currently in the commons copyright violation queue and the ticket number is 2019092710002851. MorganKevinJ^(talk) 17:49, 18 October 2019 (UTC)

What about moving it to permissions-nl? --Krd 14:02, 19 October 2019 (UTC)

Fair use is not valid option to Wikimedia Commons. --Ganímedes (talk) 22:28, 19 October 2019 (UTC)

I understand fair use material is not permitted here. However it would not be here under fair use but rather public domain if it does not meet threshold of originality. I believe it does not meet threshold of originality under US law but I am not certain under Netherlands law. The only difference between the old and current logo is the additional circle. I have moved it to permissions-nl and will add a note linking to this discussion to the ticket. MorganKevinJ^(talk) 03:22, 24 October 2019 (UTC)

File:Bruno Serato headshot.jpg

Hey folks, I don't know much about how OTRS works but it looks like Greg Gorman supposedly gave the rights to File:Bruno Serato headshot.jpg to wikipedia through a ticket. However, it appears front and center on http://www.chefbrunoserato.com/ as a copywritten image. My understanding is it can't be both ways. Am I missing something?

Vaibhavafro, are you certain {{GODL-India}} does not apply and that their statement re non-commercial use is not invalid. I presume you know that non-commercial restricted images are not acceptable on the commons and to me them saying "if reproduced accurately" implies non-derivate use is also restricted. Ww2censor (talk) 10:52, 20 November 2019 (UTC)

@Ww2censor: Since I have personally received the email from ISRO which explicitly states that only non-commercial use is permitted and that the material has to reproduced “accurately and not used in a derogatory manner”, I am pretty sure {{GODL-India}} isn’t applicable. I wish I could prove that I have indeed received a mail without giving away my username-password; if you know a way, please inform me. Regards— Vaibhavafro ^💬 13:46, 20 November 2019 (UTC)

Vaibhavafro: My opinion is that their statement is copyfraud, claiming copyright over something they have no right to, which some organisations do, such as some US government entities whose work is by law in the public domain. I suggest you politely ask them with the fact that you believe {{GODL-India}} applies to their work and their website and see how they respond. You can, of course, always forward the email to the OTRS team, but as it is not a verifiable permission there seems little point, however everything that goes there is private and cannot be divulged, so you have no concerns on that score. There is no reason for you to share your password and OTRS agents have no access to it. Ww2censor (talk) 13:59, 20 November 2019 (UTC)

@Ww2censor: I had sent a mail to OTRS from [email protected] . If you want to see it, you can. I don’t think this is copyfraud. See my reply at en:Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. This is just the inefficiency of Indian bureaucracy to put things together.— Vaibhavafro ^💬 14:25, 20 November 2019 (UTC)

In fact, I had tried a month ago to ask them exactly whether GODL-India applies or not; no reply. Still, I will try once more. I think you should checkout the talk page of {{GODL-India}}.— Vaibhavafro ^💬 14:27, 20 November 2019 (UTC)

Puzant Topalian

Bonjour à tous-tes,
J'ai aidé hier soir KAMBOURIAN Annie à mettre en ligne des images relatives à son oncle Puzant Topalian sur Commons, images à propos desquelles elle est ayant droit. Parmi celles-ci, trois tableaux de son oncle ont été proposé à la suppression (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Deletion_requests/Files_uploaded_by_KAMBOURIAN_Annie). Quelle démarche doit-elle suivre pour que lesdits tableaux soient acceptés ?
De même, la photographie "Jean Ballard et Puzant Topalian, 24.II.1958.jpg" (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Jean_Ballard_et_Puzant_Topalian,_24.II.1958.jpg) appartient à sa famille mais ne semble pas acceptée en tant que telle ?
Etant tous les deux novices en matière d'OTRS, je viens vous demander conseil. Merci d'avance ! RSVartanian (talk) 18:17, 5 November 2019 (UTC)RSVartanian (talk) 19:17, 5 November 2019 (CEST)

Hello everyone,

I was helping KAMBOURIAN Annie yesterday to upload some images relating to their uncle Puzant Topalian to Commons, images she has the rights to. Of these images, three paintings by their uncle were proposed for deletion (Commons:Deletion_requests/Files_uploaded_by_KAMBOURIAN_Annie). What steps do they have to follow for these paintings to be accepted?
Similarly, the photograph "Jean Ballard et Puzant Topalian, 24.II.1958.jpg" (File:Jean_Ballard_et_Puzant_Topalian,_24.II.1958.jpg) belongs to their family but does not seem to be accepted as it is?

Being both novices around OTRS permission, I have come to you to ask for help. Thanks in advance!

translator: AntiCompositeNumber (talk) 16:12, 7 November 2019 (UTC)

@Ruthven: Can you please explain to RSVartanian how to proceed? De728631 (talk) 13:47, 10 November 2019 (UTC)

@RSVartanian: Ici il y a deux problèmes séparés :

1. La photographie "Jean Ballard et Puzant Topalian" appartient à la famille, mais il faut s'assurer que la famille ait les droits de la publier : ces droits appartiennent au photographe qui l'a réalisée. On a donc besoin de l'autorisation écrite du photographe à publier la photo sous license CC BY SA 4.0. Cette autorisation doit être envoyée à permissions-frwikimedia.org.
2. Que Puzant Topalian soit l'oncle de KAMBOURIAN Annie reste à prouver, tout comme que Annie soit sa seule héritière ou que tous les héritiers l'aient autorisée à publier ses œuvres. Encore une fois, les documents nécessaires à démontrer que cette autorisation existe doivent être envoyés à permissions-frwikimedia.org. Merci ! --Ruthven (msg) 09:42, 12 November 2019 (UTC)

Verification of ticket #2017071610003879

Hello,

I'm the new information manager at the Noord-Holland Archives and I would like to solve a difference in my documentation and the what I see was apparently communicated using OTRS. My internal documentation states that the collection this ticket refers to should be licensed under CC BY 4.0, not CC0. The OTRS was probably done by a predecessor, but that conversation has not been documented properly on our side. I'd like to verify and correct our internal document. Is there a way to forward the conversation about this ticket to me at the archive: [email protected] ?

Thank you,

Maarten Zeinstra - information manager Martsniez (talk) 11:18, 28 November 2019 (UTC)

@Martsniez: Forward the conversation? I don't think so. What language is the ticket? --Ganímedes (talk) 09:31, 30 November 2019 (UTC)

I'll take this one, it's in Dutch. Ciell (talk) 19:36, 30 November 2019 (UTC)

Hello @Martsniez: ,

From the permission given by your predecessor, this template was made, which can be used on all of the images by the same photographer in the collection of of the Noord-Hollands archive.

If you have reasons to believe this is not correct, please e-mail the Dutch OTRS-team again on permissions-nlwikimedia.org and refer to the previous email with the ticket number. Please also explain thy it should be CC-BY instead of CC0. We're here to help. Ciell (talk) 19:45, 30 November 2019 (UTC)

I have no reason to believe that it is not correct. I have no internal documentation of the decision. I like to make it clear that I'm not contesting the license in any way. I just want our internal records to reflect communications by my predecessor. I'll contact the Dutch OTRS-team. Martsniez (talk) 11:24, 1 December 2019 (UTC)

photos de l'ICHM

Bonsoir. J'ai contacté votre collègue 'Yann' car il s'était déjà occupé d'un précédent ticket OTRS (pour le projet Commons:GLAM Lille - Musée d'histoire naturelle), mais il annonce être trop occupé IRL donc je me tourne vers un groupe plus large. La situation est la suivante : désireux de pouvoir illustrer des articles WPfr dans le cadre du wikiconcours, j'écris à la Commission internationale d'histoire des mathématiques (ICHM) et je reçois une réponse favorable (je précise que je demande explicitement que les photos puissent être sous licence libre, je pense donc être dans les clous). Je m'interroge sur la meilleure chronologie pour la suite : dois-je fournir le courrier positif et obtenir un ticket OTRS avant de téléverser les photos, ou puis-je commencer à téléverser avec contrôle a posteriori ? Précision : cela concerne les photos de cette page pour commencer. Cordialement,--Cbyd (talk) 16:30, 29 October 2019 (UTC)

Bonsoir. Sans réponse j'ai procédé au téléversement en indiquant à chaque fois la source, il sera toujours temps de régulariser avec le ticket idoine, mais j'avais besoin de ces photos dans le cadre temporel du wikiconcours. Du moment que les photos ne sont pas entre-temps unilatéralement supprimées...--Cbyd (talk) 15:30, 7 November 2019 (UTC)

@Cbyd: Merci pour avoir fait cette démarche auprès de la Commission internationale d'histoire des mathématiques. Il faut que le courriel de l'ICHM mentionne explicitement la licence libre à utiliser (ex: CC BY-SA 4.0) et qu'il soit envoyé à permissions-commonswikimedia.org. Il faut aussi que les photo appartiennent bien à la ICHM, ce qui veut dire qu'un de leurs employés doit les avoir réalisées. Ceci dit, pour les versements il suffit d'ajouter {{subst:Op}} dans chaque page et d'envoyer/faire envoyer le courriel à OTRS. --Ruthven (msg) 09:36, 12 November 2019 (UTC)

ticket:2014070510005689

Hello, On 6 July 2014, there was this discussion on Commons:Administrators' noticeboard/Archive 48#Belgian coins about the Monnaie royale de Belgique and ticket 2014070510005689, which looked like it could be a very useful permission, if it was confirmed that it was coming from the right place and if a few details were clarified. At the end of the section, it was hinted that a follow-up would be attempted. Was there a follow-up? Did anything happen after 6 July 2014 in connection with this? Is there anything in the archives of OTRS about any other communication with someone at the Monnaie royale de Belgique? What is the current status of this permission? Does the OTRS team consider that there is sufficient permission for Belgian coin designs? -- Asclepias (talk) 17:05, 9 November 2019 (UTC)

@Ciell: this kind of verification has been allowed since Commons:Village pump/Proposals/Archive/2019/06#Update the username policy was passed. (it has been used before, for example as a keep argument in DRs, but now we wrote it down) There is no rule for who confirms the account and website are linked. There isn't even a rule that says it must be confirmed, but due to possible linkrot it is a good idea to confirm it. Obviously the confirmation should be done by a trusted user, so likely OTRS and possibly license reviewers. - Alexis Jazz ^{ping plz} 21:55, 16 December 2019 (UTC)

Confirmed account

Hello, we've confirmed our account twice already, in French and German so I was a bit surprised when a picture I uploaded on Friday was nominated for deletion. I've been told we actually did not need to send a third email and that coming here you guys could work it out from the ticket numbers (2019030610004471 and 2019030610004506, respectively). Thanks!

In fact, the photo for which deletion was requested appears at www.lombardodier.com/home/about-us/la-maison.html, where we can read: ©2019 Lombard Odier, but no free license. You can amend your website by adding a CC BY-SA 4.0 license or simply write OTRS, mentioning the former ticket numbers, an confirming the permission to publish under CC BY-SA 4.0 this picture. --Ruthven (msg) 09:33, 26 November 2019 (UTC)

SpaceX OTRS agreement

Hello, I was wondering if an agent might provide the scope of SpaceX's agreement in ticket# 2015032410033985. They recently changed their Flickr license to NC, but I thought the ticket specifically covered Flickr as it pertains to Commons. If it does, an agent may need to reach out to the company and clarify their standing with us. Thanks! — Huntster (t @ c) 13:50, 6 December 2019 (UTC)

@Huntster: You can use {{Cc-zero-SpaceX}} for images that appear on their Flickr account before July 2018. Then, we tried to contact them about NC licences, but received no answer. Feel free to contact the owner of the Flickr account and forward the answer to OTRS (Ticket#2015032410033985 in the subject). --Ruthven (msg) 11:46, 8 December 2019 (UTC)

Thanks Ruthven. Given the ticket, would you consider it appropriate to modify the license template to indicate "prior to July 2018", or just let the Flickr NC licenses on that site stand as their own deterrent? — Huntster (t @ c) 14:27, 8 December 2019 (UTC)

In July 2018 is when we noticed that there were some NC images and we made an attempt to contact them back. Given that the authorisation is not withdrawable, we can still consider all the files from https://www.flickr.com/photos/spacexphotos/ under CC0 license. However, given their apparent change of mind from SpaceX about the license they intend to use, it would be correct to consider CC0 only the photos published before March 24th 2015 (or March 27th, the date of our answer). July 2018 looks like a middle ground but it's a matter of personal opinion. In practice, {{Cc-zero-SpaceX}} still holds. --Ruthven (msg) 14:50, 8 December 2019 (UTC)

Ruthven, thanks for the clarification. I'll just make a note on that template's talk page about what happened as "information only" and leave the template itself intact. I believe in extending courtesies to our donors in cases like this, even if it is unfortunate to--morally, if not legally--lose the resource. — Huntster (t @ c) 16:59, 8 December 2019 (UTC)

Question

I know this noticeboard is for inquiries regarding pending OTRS tickets however, I wanted to know if I should even bother creating one. I recently uploaded a file under PD-USGov-Military-Air Force and just to be sure I emailed the United States Air Force and they confirmed that it is in the public domain. Should I forward this email to [email protected]? Or is it not necessary? --TriiipleThreat (talk) 15:41, 12 December 2019 (UTC)

@Riquix: Our last email with additional questions was on November 25th: until now there was no response.

I afraid I'm not sure if I understand your question. We received an email from the website, but in that mail they don't proof they own the copyrights. They have been unresponsive from that moment on. What you could do, is try to contact the photographer (I took his name from the Metadata) I think you can find him through the internet. Considering the picture is 11 years old, he might be persuaded to agree to a CC-BY-SA license, and his picture on Wikipedia. Ciell (talk) 12:32, 11 December 2019 (UTC)

Belated OTRS permission

Way back in 2008, I asked the artist Pavel Riha (who had then recently uploaded some art from his website to Wikipedia under free licenses himself) if I could upload more of his art from there, which he agreed to: "Upload the images to Wikipedia under GNU-license please, I'd have done the same not being so lazy." I was not very well-versed in Commons policies back then, so I never actually provided evidence of this correspondence here, I just uploaded the images. So I wonder what I can do now and how? I sitll have the emails, which I could somehow forward, though I don't know how to do that with the entire conversation. As examples, here is one of his works which he uploaded to Wikipedia which was later transferred to Commons:[34], and here is one I uploaded myself from his website:[35] FunkMonk (talk) 18:23, 21 December 2019 (UTC)

@FunkMonk: As far as I understand, in the usual circumstances, any OTRS permissions would need to be sent directly by pán Pavel Riha to permissionswikimedia.org. I was about to mention that they may be grandfathered but, unfortunately, only applied to files that were uploaded prior to 1 January 2007. --Ìch heiss Nat ùn ìch redd e wenig Elsässisch!^{Talk to me in EN, FR, PL, GSW-FR(ALS).} 10:34, 22 December 2019 (UTC)

Ah, hmmm, I guess because forwarded emails could be faked, or how? FunkMonk (talk) 13:19, 22 December 2019 (UTC)

Pretty much, as far as I understand. --Ìch heiss Nat ùn ìch redd e wenig Elsässisch!^{Talk to me in EN, FR, PL, GSW-FR(ALS).} 15:32, 22 December 2019 (UTC)

@FunkMonk: When you forward an email, when you click the forward button, you essentially open a new editable document containing the entirety of the previous correspondence, and the entirety of the previous correspondence is editable by you prior to sending. Unless you use a proprietary form of email authentication (which AFAIK OTRS does not support any form of) there is a "background record" in the email that verifies the chain of sending and receipt, but it does not verify what content was sent and received. You could therefore receive an email from me of any type, and then forward it to someone else, changing my original message to say anything you like, and there would normally be no way to detect the forged correspondence.

I have accepted forwarded permission before, for example, from someone I have personally met IRL, whose real identity I already know, and whose expertise and integrity is particularly trusted. I have also personally sent forwarded permission, identifying myself as an OTRS agent, since the integrity of our agents is the core the system is built on to begin with. You could therefore consider applying for OTRS permission yourself (every Commons admin should IMO) and send the forwarded message identifying yourself as an agent, because at such a point, your identity, competence, and integrity have already been verified. GMG^talk 16:13, 22 December 2019 (UTC)

That might be a good solution, thanks, I'll look this up, as I don't have much experience with the OTRS process. FunkMonk (talk) 17:44, 22 December 2019 (UTC)

Is it possible for copyright holders to allow access for multiple files in one declaration?

If I take a few photos from a medical image which was released as a collage of multiple photos showing the same phenomenon (all created by the author) and upload them to Commons separately after getting the copyright-holder's permission for the collage (or the images I chose), are they allowed to declare permission for use of all of those individual uploads in one single declaration, substituting singular terms in the email template for plurals (and including all the files' links of course), or do they have to write a separate email for each upload? SUM1 (talk) 04:44, 27 December 2019 (UTC)

I cannot think of any reason why not? If the copyright holder can provide us with a list of the image files, or can confirm the list of URL's you send us, there is no problem for us in processing them all in one email. Ciell (talk) 10:22, 27 December 2019 (UTC)

Yes SUM1. We do this fairly regularly. The important thing is that we can identify 1) the sender as the copyright holder, 2) the files they are referencing, and 3) the specific free license they are releasing them under. As long as we have those essential three pieces, we can be pretty flexible in most everything else. GMG^talk 11:52, 27 December 2019 (UTC)

Request to restore the files

I uploaded two files and asked the copyright laws owner to send the permission. Now I noticed that the files have been deleted. I was not notified on my talk page about the deletion. I reasked the owner about sending permission and now I'm sure it's sent. Please, restore the files:

Hey Ludmiła Pilecka. Normally the OTRS agent will request that the media be restored once they confirm that everything is in order with the permission. However, looking for the titles of these files, I don't see that a ticket has been sent containing these names. When the copyright holder sent their original email to OTRS, they should have gotten a response that included a ticket number. If they can provide that number, it may help in location their correspondence. GMG^talk 18:33, 30 December 2019 (UTC)

Bruce Millan (1992).jpg

The representative for the copyright holder of this file is Bert.Musialec.europa.eu. Shortly after midday yesterday, he replied that he sent confirmation of the licence to OTRS. Can an OTRS agent please look into confirming the permission? You may refer to ticket:2019112010009942 for previous correspondence. Thanks. AlbanGeller (talk) 16:28, 19 December 2019 (UTC)

@AlbanGeller: It looks like the ticket was received but some additional information was needed. OTRS is currently awaiting their reply. GMG^talk 16:56, 19 December 2019 (UTC)

@GreenMeansGo: They replied yesterday in a new ticket. Can you confirm that ticket? AlbanGeller (talk) 16:57, 19 December 2019 (UTC)

@AlbanGeller: Yes, this appears to be Ticket:2019121810005172, which is the one I was referring to above. GMG^talk 17:00, 19 December 2019 (UTC)

GreenMeansGo, what additional info is needed? AlbanGeller (talk) 17:10, 19 December 2019 (UTC)

AlbanGeller It doesn't look like they indicated exactly how they were the copyright holder, rather than the individual who is listed on the file as the author. This would normally require that there was a legal contract between the creator and the purported owner transferring intellectual property rights to their creations, either as part of a work-for-hire contract or as a direct employee. GMG^talk 17:48, 19 December 2019 (UTC)

GreenMeansGo, Mr Musial heads the Audiovisual Library at the European Commission [36]. The Commission owns the copyright to this file according to the metadata. AlbanGeller (talk) 17:53, 19 December 2019 (UTC)

AlbanGeller Yes, but we should need them to indicate why it is they own the copyright, for example, because Christian Lambiotte is an employee and part of their contact is that the Commission owns work created in the course of their employment. It may sound nit-picky, but unfortunately copyright is often an exercise in being nit picky. The problem is that the work of employees and works-for-hire don't automatically transfer intellectual property (though many people think it does). Instead, there has to be an explicit legally binding contract spelling this out. Otherwise copyright is retained by the author, even if they got paid to do it. For example, for professional photographers, it's not uncommon for them to sell the "service" of taking the photo, and sell the right for the "buyer" to reuse the photo however they see fit, but not actually transferring the copyright to them. GMG^talk 18:05, 19 December 2019 (UTC)

GreenMeansGo, the copyright is owned by "© European Communities, 1992" according to the source of the file and there is no suggestion on the website that the photographer retained this copyright personally. Please refer to the source URL for the copyright info. AlbanGeller (talk) 18:13, 19 December 2019 (UTC)

AlbanGeller Yes, but the meta data appears to have been added, and was last modified more than a decade after the photo was created. It does not appear to be the original meta data of the type which normally gives us things like technical specifications. I am aware of what the meta data says. They need to provide an explanation for why the meta data is correct. GMG^talk 18:24, 19 December 2019 (UTC)UTC)

@GreenMeansGo: see [37]. The metadata would have been automatically applied with the digitisation of the physical photo. AlbanGeller (talk) 18:31, 19 December 2019 (UTC)

AlbanGeller You are asking me what they need to provide, and I am telling you what they need to provide. GMG^talk 18:37, 19 December 2019 (UTC)

GreenMeansGo, I don't see why he should have to recite any of the copyright technicalities that have already been specified on the website. AlbanGeller (talk) 18:40, 19 December 2019 (UTC)

AlbanGeller When the person sending in the permission ticket, and the person credited as the author of the photo are not the same, it is routine to ask that they explain how they are the copyright holder when they are not the author. It is not at all uncommon for someone to confuse being the employer of the author, or paying the author a fee, with owning the result of their work. As I have already explained this is not the case. If they can explain the situation, it is too easy to resolve the ticket. If they cannot, then it likely just means the statement on their website is wrong.

I'm not even the one handling the ticket. I'm just trying to explain that if you are in contact with them, that's what they need to provide. GMG^talk 19:48, 19 December 2019 (UTC)

(outdent) 

GreenMeansGo, can you help me get in touch directly with the agent, Valeria Dominguez? AlbanGeller (talk) 20:18, 20 December 2019 (UTC)

It's me. But the problem it's that exactly what GreenMeansGo explain: the copyright is owned by "© European Communities, 1992" according to the source of the file, but the same file says "© European Communities, 1992 – EC / Photo: Christian Lambiotte / CC BY 4.0". And they've never send a clarification, or the contract. I've assumed the original file should be not digital, so we can't request the original in this case. Regards. --Ganímedes (talk) 00:18, 21 December 2019 (UTC)

@Ganímedes: What's the problem? Yes, the copyright is owned by the EC, hence the attribution "© European Communities, 1992", while the full Credit Line is "© European Communities, 1992 – EC / Photo: Christian Lambiotte / CC BY 4.0". How exactly is this a problem? The copyright is owned by the European Commission, as they state on their official website, and the head of the Audiovisual Library at the EC has explicitly confirmed the release of the image under the CC BY 4.0 licence. What more is there for him to clarify? This doesn't make any sense. AlbanGeller (talk) 00:43, 21 December 2019 (UTC)

@AlbanGeller: Repeatedly asking the same question will do nothing but receive the same answer repeatedly. They need to provide an explanation of how the copyright was transferred from the author to them. This is normally not a difficult thing to provide an explanation for. If they cannot, or will not, then we should not host the media here until they can or will. GMG^talk 00:46, 22 December 2019 (UTC)

What in the world? The copyright was never transferred. It always belonged to the EC. AlbanGeller (talk) 00:55, 22 December 2019 (UTC)

@AlbanGeller: The copyright must be transferred, because organizations don't have hands, and therefore cannot operate cameras. The ownership of creative works starts with the author. If the intellectual property is now owned by an organization, that means that they had a legal agreement with the author transferring ownership of her works as an employee or contractor; they later paid her to transfer ownership of the work; or the work was later donated by the author, their next-of-kin, or their estate.

Organizations are legal entities that may own property, but they are not legal entities under copyright that may author creative works. Even if a work is created by one or more employees as part of their duties, the copyright starts with the individual person or people who are the authors. In order to find the rare places where this is not the case, you must get into animals and computers creating works, or employers who are themselves government agencies and who have amended copyright law to change the protections afforded to their employees. None of these appear to be the case here. GMG^talk 13:54, 22 December 2019 (UTC)

This is just nonsense. The author was a "Co-operator" and worked for the European Communities, which had been governed by the European Commission, which holds the copyright to this file to this day. The source for this file is the "EC - Audiovisual Service" and the head of the service has explicitly released the image under a Commons-compatible CC licence. AlbanGeller (talk) 15:20, 22 December 2019 (UTC)

It's so simple as they send a message saying "yes, he's our employee" I think. Regards. --Ganímedes (talk) 10:44, 24 December 2019 (UTC)

This is about ticket:2019120410009561, which is in French. Perhaps a French-speaking OTRS-agent can explain the situation. Elly (talk) 17:00, 15 December 2019 (UTC)

@Marcel Roblin and Ellywa: So there was an email reply by an OTRS agent, and it basically states it seems that the permission/authorisation could not yet be validated as we could not be certain that the email address is that of the owner of the page that the image came from. The agent did suggest some alternative options:

1. Temporarily edit the page to show the email address for the purposes of confirming that the email address contacting OTRS is that of the owner of the source page
2. Or, adding to the caption of an image: "Cette image est disponible sous les termes de la licence <à choisir sur <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/COM:APL> parmi les licences libres acceptables sur Wikimedia Commons. Nous vous recommandons de mettre à disposition vos images sous la licence CC BY-SA.>" ("This image is available under the terms of the licence [to be chosen at (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Licensing) from among the free licences acceptable on Wikimedia Commons. We recommend that you license your images under the licence CC-BY-SA). Please note, however, that for the licence to be valid, the version number must be indicated (CC-BY-SA 4.0 and not just CC-BY-SA).

@Marcel Roblin: The problem, from what I understand, is that we cannot, for certain, confirm that the ownership of the email address and of the source page are one and the same. So, unfortunately, a screenshot of that conversation will not help in this situation. The only solution is are the above alternatives suggested by the original responding OTRS agent. --Ìch heiss Nat ùn ìch redd e wenig Elsässisch!^{Talk to me in EN, FR, PL, GSW-FR(ALS).} 11:27, 22 December 2019 (UTC)

@Nat: And if I ask him with which email address he sent the email and he gives the right email address you can be sure that he sent the email.--Marcel Roblin (talk) 11:55, 22 December 2019 (UTC)

@Marcel Roblin: Again, there is no way that we (i.e. OTRS) can confirm independently that the email address and the source as one and the same unless the alternative solutions suggested by the original responding OTRS agent are followed. Unfortunately, we cannot accept confirmation by third party. --Ìch heiss Nat ùn ìch redd e wenig Elsässisch!^{Talk to me in EN, FR, PL, GSW-FR(ALS).} 15:28, 22 December 2019 (UTC)

Not sure what you mean. These tickets has been merged in 2017062410008959 or 2018021010000318 and some of the files have got OTRS ticket... --Ganímedes (talk) 23:53, 14 December 2019 (UTC)

@Ganímedes: I was asked to post here. Somehow, files I uploaded two years ago are having their copyright status called into question after endless rounds of emails and tickets and talk posts. It's just an exhausting, broken mess. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 09:32, 16 December 2019 (UTC)

Ok Justin but I need some kind of explanation, because in this way it's impossible to understand. --Ganímedes (talk) 19:57, 17 December 2019 (UTC)

@Ganímedes: Explain what? Understand what? I don't even know what the problem is. Someone posted to my talk and said to come here and list relevant OTRS tickets, so I did. Why is this process so tremendously frustrating and confusing? —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 20:07, 17 December 2019 (UTC)

@Roy17: Why is this happening? You never answered on my talk. What is going on here? —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 20:08, 17 December 2019 (UTC)

@Roy17: : Can you tell us which one it's the problem with ticket:2017062410008959 and ticket:2018021010000318? --Ganímedes (talk) 11:54, 28 December 2019 (UTC)

I am no OTRS agent I have no idea what the emails say.--Roy17 (talk) 02:27, 29 December 2019 (UTC)

Ok Roy17, but what problem do you find with these files? Some reason should exist to originate this discussion... --Ganímedes (talk) 14:56, 30 December 2019 (UTC)

A bunch of files in the cat have no permission.--Roy17 (talk) 03:27, 31 December 2019 (UTC)

Roy17: I see 5 files, 3 with permission. Wich one it's the problem with the other 2? Why do you think they need permission? Please, be more specific. Thank you for understand. --Ganímedes (talk) 18:41, 5 January 2020 (UTC)

Basic question about copyright permission

I am a tad confused about the process for the copyright holder to grant permission for use of their work. I received permission from the copyright holder to upload a couple of photos. If I understand the instructions correctly, the copyright owner needs to send an eMail to [email protected] with the templated language. But part of the template asks for you to paste in the URL to the photo that has been uploaded to Wikimedia Commons. How/where do I upload the photo in order to get the URL? (i.e., Don't I need to show that it's free licensed before I can upload it? JoelWhy (talk) 19:10, 27 December 2019 (UTC)

Hey JoelWhy. Some people do just attach the files to the email they send. But it can be easier on the OTRS agent if you upload the photo and use {{OTRS pending}} in the permission sections. There is a grace period for files when OTRS is pending out of necessity, as the OTRS queue is usually pretty badly back logged. If no permission is received after some time, the file uploaded here will be deleted, but it can also be restored if permission is received at a later date. GMG^talk 19:15, 27 December 2019 (UTC)

For uploading please see Commons:Upload. We assume that you obtain permission before uploading, but we need to see the file first in order to make a call if the permission will be valid. There are lots of possible exceptions in copyright. --Krd 15:44, 28 December 2019 (UTC)

I think you misunderstand JoelWhy’s question; GMG’s answer is more accurate. Vermont (talk) 00:35, 29 December 2019 (UTC)

I don't think so, the user has permission from the copyright holder, and the next step is to upload, and we need the names of the files in the permission ticket to process it. The is no need for OTRS-pending and more complicated stuff when the queue is not backlogged, which it isn't. --Krd 09:52, 1 January 2020 (UTC)

Ticket:2019122810004271

Hey there, lovely OTRS volunteers! With all due respect to my current reviewers, I need a fresh set of eyes on this ticket: Basically the author (copyright holder) signed a written CC-BY-SA 4.0 release (using the template text, of course), I uploaded the files and she gave me the signed release PDF to send to permissions-commons. Anything I did wrong here? How is a signed statement from her any less convincing/acceptable than an email from her? --Nemoschool (talk to me) 02:48, 30 December 2019 (UTC)

 Comment I'm handling this ticket. First customer sent an email in representation of the author. I follow the normal procedure (to request a non-forwarded email of the author). Customer sent screenshots of chats with the author (again, not valid as permissions). Finally customer sent a pdf with the permission, and I've asked them the original files, since those in Commons have not exif or metadata. And customer sent a new set of files... without exif or metadata. And decides to post here. Regards. --Ganímedes (talk) 13:30, 30 December 2019 (UTC)

BTW, ticket is unbloked. --Ganímedes (talk) 13:31, 30 December 2019 (UTC)

Bonjour,

Je mets à jour la page Wiki de mon ami et homonyme Gérard Aubry : fr:Gérard Aubry (botelliste) ;
Nous avons suivi la procedure lourde pour creation d'autorisation OTRS à l'ouverture de la page Wiki.

Aujourd'hui, l'auteur voudrait proposer d'autres images. N'y a-t-il pas moyen d'avoir une procedure simple pour ce faire ?

Merci d'une info.

Hello,
I'm updating the Wikipedia article for my friend and namesake, Gérard Aubry : fr:Gérard Aubry (botelliste)
We have followed the [heavy, annoying] procedure for creating OTRS permission at the creation of the WP article.
Today, the author would like to suggest other images. Is there not another way to have a simple procedure to do it?
Thank you for any info.
Aubry Gérard

• Rebonjour @Aubry Gérard: Il n'a pas d'autre procedure. La seule est cela d'OTRS. Si vous avez d'autre questions, n'hésitez pas de laisser une autre message ici. Cordialment, --Ìch heiss Nat ùn ìch redd e wenig Elsässisch!^{Talk to me in EN, FR, PL, GSW-FR(ALS).} 20:10, 21 December 2019 (UTC)
  • Pour faciliter le téléchargement d'autres fichiers, le photographe pourrait donner une autorisation pour toutes les photos téléchargées ici par un ou plusieurs usagers de confiance. Ainsi cette unique autorisation serait utilisée pour toutes ses photos. Ruthven (msg) 20:14, 5 January 2020 (UTC)

Transfert images par lot

--Aubry Gérard (talk) 10:36, 10 December 2019 (UTC)

Bonjour, malheureusement, je n'ai pas une réponse pour vous. La seule procedure est celle d'OTRS. Il faut les contacter directement (via [email protected]) car je ne suis pas un membre d'OTRS ni un administrateur de Commons. --Ìch heiss Nat ùn ìch redd e wenig Elsässisch!^{Talk to me in EN, FR, PL, GSW-FR(ALS).} 12:22, 15 December 2019 (UTC)

@Aubry Gérard: Il est possible avec l’OTRS de faire une autorisation en lot. Mais c’est plus complexe, sauf que c’est une fois pour plus de photos. Cordialement, Antoine --Antoine2711 (talk) 02:47, 25 March 2020 (UTC)

Comment transformer une autorisation simple en autorisation en lot ?
