File:Dev Joshi on his 20th birthday.jpg[edit]

Please check for the permission. I was told that the email containing permission was successfully sent by the photographer. -- CptViraj (talk) 06:51, 8 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@CptViraj Can you ask him to answer the VRT agent's question? Yahya (talk) 07:13, 8 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Godehard Lietzow[edit]

Hi, There are several issues about these artworks:

In addition, for all 4 images, it is said that the author is "Karl Horst Hartmann". Who did send the permission? Thanks, Yann (talk) 16:06, 10 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Permission in ticket:2008012910009395 is valid for File:Godehard_Lietzow.jpg and File:Die_gestrandete_Kueste.jpg. Above images are not included in the ticket. Ping to @Kumagorocom: , the uploader of these images (not active here since 2008, but perhaps they can take action). Ellywa (talk) 10:40, 11 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

One-month delay[edit]

Hi guys. It says above that a backlog is around 5 days. Is it for getting a response here or for a ticket review? I'm asking because my uploads have not been reviewed after a month. In the last couple of days I asked copyrights holders to forward me the e-mails with OTRS permissions they sent you and I have recieved them, so it is not the case of the authors forgetting do send you a proper message or something. I'm talking about 22 pictures from 11th October (starting with File:Lendak men's shirt.jpg) and then another four from 14th October (starting with File:Mala Frankova costumes - FS Frankovcan.jpg). All of them are already marked as deletion candidates with a proper licencing missing for more than 15 days, even though I still haven't been formally notified. OTRS mails were sent in English as the copyrights owners are Slovaks and this language is not supported as I belive. Aʀvєδuι + 19:43, 18 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

ticket:2021101210012754, hi @Arvedui89: , please ask them to reply to the VRT agent's mail. –Yahya (talk) 21:02, 18 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Yahya, from back in October or a new one? I assume they haven't seen anything from you, as they have not mentioned it to me last time we spoke. Aʀvєδuι + 10:17, 19 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Arvedui89 The mail was recieved on 10/12/2021 and the agent also replied that day. Yahya (talk) 11:59, 19 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Yahya: , I'll get in touch with them ASAP. I just wanted to mention that the second batch of files (four I mentioned above) were a subject of a copyrights by another entity (folk group represented by its director) and that OTRS mail was sent 18th October. These files are still marked as heading to deletion. Is there any chance for me to take part in it? It took me a few weeks to get their approval (both Mr Vavák – 22 pictures – and mr Lach – four pictures) and I'm affraid it will all collapse because of the bureaucracy, specifically concluded in a foreign language. Aʀvєδuι + 19:27, 19 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Arvedui89: For the second batch (ticket:2021101810001988), FS Frankovčan was asked to resend the permission from an official e-mail account of their organization. But we didn't receive any reply yet. If the images are deleted, they will still be restored after receiving proper permission.Yahya (talk) 20:18, 19 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Yahya – I’m not sure they (Folklorná skupina Frankovčan), folk group from a village of 186 inhabitants, do have an official e-mail account. For sure they do not have an official website, just a Facebook page where I contacted them [1]. by the way their Facebook url ends with jan.lach.984. I'll get in touch with him as well. Aʀvєδuι + 21:36, 19 November 2021 (UTC) [EDIT] (@Yahya: ) I believe Mr Vaváak have sent a reply (your mail went stright to the spam folder), while Mr Lach assured me that they do not have a separate e-mail adress. What do we do now? Aʀvєδuι + 12:11, 21 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Pinging @Krd: –Yahya (talk) 14:13, 21 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
What exactly is the question? --Krd 09:09, 28 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Yahya and Krd: Ok, to sum things up: first part of my application is resolved, as tickets were finally given to 22 Miroslav Vavák’s pictures. However there are still four photos (1, 2, 3, 4) I uploaded on the 14th October and a permission was sent on the 18th October. Copyright holder here is a small folk group Frankovčan on which behalf permission was granted by its principal/director Ján Lach. He was subsequently asked to send it from Frankovčan’s e-mail account which they do not have. They do not have a website either, what does not stop them from existing. Question is: Is posessing a separate e-mail adress necessary to effectively give permission for using pictures under certain licence? If not, what should I as an uploader, or the copyright owner, do to mark files as properly licenced rather than them being nominated for deletion for the second month running? If it will help, I have saved our whole e-mail conversation, however it was conducted in Slovak. Aʀvєδuι + 07:43, 1 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
It is not required to have any special e-mail address, but any kind of other feedback from the copyright holder is required explaining the situation, because otherwise the ticket cannot be processed further. Please ask the just to respond with anything reasonable. --Krd 17:09, 5 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Pintér Réka[edit]

Could you please check the permission for File:Hétfájdalmú Szent Szűz-kápolna (Kálvária). Fotó- Glasz Fotó.jpg. There are other uploads by this user with the same EXIF data. I would not request another permission if the ticket says that Pintér Réka=Glasz Fotó. Regards, Yann (talk) 09:31, 21 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Regasterios: ping for one of the active agents understanding Hungarian. Ellywa (talk) 11:30, 23 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Pintér Réka is not equal to Glasz fotó. PR has sent their permission in PDF. See the ticket at the file. --Regasterios (talk) 08:29, 24 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, @CorrectionKSA: . What ticket number it is? --Ganímedes (talk) 10:01, 21 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Ticket#2021112010005174 CorrectionKSA (talk) 10:11, 21 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@CorrectionKSA Vrt agent asked some additional questions about this file but customer fails to provide those information. —MdsShakil (talk) 10:51, 21 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I provide every information about this file, and answered all questions about it. the other one (Ticket#2021112010005101) is what vrt agent stopped discussing with me. CorrectionKSA (talk) 11:53, 21 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@CorrectionKSA Please contact this file creator/copyright holder and ask him to send a mail with permission at VRT —MdsShakil (talk) 14:00, 21 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I did, said that he send an email giving me all rights to use it on Ticket#2021112110003352 CorrectionKSA (talk) 18:33, 21 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
That is not a valid permission. The copyright holder should email us directly. We don't accept forwarded permissions. Please ask the copyright holder to email us directly. --Ganímedes (talk) 20:49, 21 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
he is the copyright holder, he said he told u guys that i have permission on..Ticket#2021112110003352 CorrectionKSA (talk) 21:23, 21 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
He is not the copyright holder. The copyright holder is the photographer, not the subject. And permission is to anyone, not just for you. There the problem. --Ganímedes (talk) 21:31, 21 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Номер VRTS-заявки, Ticket#: 2021111910008567
Мной направлено "Разрешение на публикацию произведения" собственной работы
от 19.11.2021г. https://e.mail.ru/sent/1:4e5c6e9f5ee688e9:500000/.
Каково состояние по рассмотрению вопроса, чтобы был снят шаблон "У этого файла отсутствуют данные о разрешении на публикацию" и файл не был уничтожен?
Барминский (talk) 08:19, 22 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Барминский: as far as I can understand Russian, the ticket is received on November 19. Usually, there is some backlog on all queues in the VRT system. If you do not receive mail in about 2 weeks, please remind here again. In addition ping two of the agents with (I suppose) Russian as mother tongue: @Niklitov and Putnik: . Ellywa (talk) 11:27, 23 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, I'm not a VRT agent anymore. — putnik 21:37, 23 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Ahonc: do you have some time left to answer the ticket? Ellywa (talk) 22:10, 2 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Well, as I understand, permission was sent from uploader. We do not need permission from uploader. We need permission from author. If uploader uploads his own image, we do not need permission. // Насколько я понимаю, автор и загрузивший изображение участник — один и тот же человек. В таком случае разрешение не нужно. Если же вы не автор, нужно разрешение от автора.--Anatoliy (talk) 22:23, 2 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Да, я автор Барминский Владимир Васильевич, и я же (участник - Барминский) загрузил это изображение. Барминский (talk) 10:37, 5 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please help to verify image file: G8Db3.jpeg permission[edit]

Till now still have no VRTS members to verify this image file: G8Db3.jpeg

url: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:G8Db3.jpeg

Anyone who holds VRTS account,could you please help to verify this permission,Thank you!

I've sent in an email about this file,but the file page have a notice said :”The email is in a queue awaiting processing. For an update on the issue, please contact someone else with a VRTS account, or the VRT noticeboard. If a valid permission is not provided within 30 days of the first response by a VRT agent, this file will be deleted.”

Some things: a) The ticket it's from today (21:56 22/11 at South America right now). It could take some time to answer. b) The agent has made a question but it's still unanswered. c) Yet, the source point to a different photo, so is not possible to verify the license. Regards. --Ganímedes (talk) 00:55, 23 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Could you please tell me that the source of this image File:謝大俠.jpg url : File:謝大俠.jpg - Wikimedia Commons have no listed source ,it's just wrote Own work. Why doesn't he encounter the warning of being deleted? Did you engrave me deliberately? Is there a dark operation behind Wikimedia Commons ? Many pictures are no sources, and there is no warning of deletion. Can you tell me why? 212.129.81.236 05:38, 23 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I don't understand what you mean (and the extra drama it's pointless): you've sent permission for this file: [2], naming this web as source: [3]. It's pretty much obvious these are *not* the same files, even when could be shoot the same day, right? --Ganímedes (talk) 10:25, 23 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
It is a same file,this picture is one of the file’s picture ,was included inside the Album, The source and usage rights are very clear .The proof and evidence submitted are sufficient,not pointless. 212.129.85.190 13:41, 25 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Obviously not, if one looks at from and the other is looking to the side. Link the exact URL of the source of the file uploaded to commons. --Ganímedes (talk) 22:48, 27 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Assistance requested: Ticket #2021112410004444[edit]

Hi VRT, I submitted ticket:2021112410004444 on 24 November and received a response later the same day from Jarosław Tuszyński indicating that my authority to allow the release was not sufficiently verifiable. I therefore submitted two further emails that same day (one from a public email address of my organisation and one a forwarded email from the COO of my organisation regarding my authority). I haven't heard back since then, so I would appreciate if an agent could check if that correspondence came through, and let me know if it is sufficient or if you need more. Many thanks. - Htonl (talk) 15:14, 1 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It appears this was misunderstood by the ticket owner. Ticket is now reopened. --Krd 15:50, 1 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
