:[[:File:TGV 2N2 4701 Basel.jpg]] was deleted and replaced by [[:File:TGV 2N2 4701 Basel (w).jpg]] as it contained a watermark. The permission in the ticket ([[ticket:2010101910013378]]) was accepted, though I'm not sure if that was the right thing to do as the name mentioned in the email (and on the watermark) is not the same as the name of the person who *send* the email. I'd appreciate it if another OTRS volunteer could look into this matter and give a second opinion. I'm inclined to delete the file or ask for a more clear permission. Anyone? BTW, the source of the deleted file was {{tl|own}} (own work) and the "permission" in the ticket suggests the same.

Slovenski etnografski muzej

Can someone else please handle the OTRS ticket for files in Category:Slovene Ethnographic Museum. I would not like to close it by myself, since it was me who opened it.--Miha (talk) 18:23, 10 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

 Comment See this deletion request and ticket:2012110410003446; I can't judge whether or not it's okay with the FOP in Slovenia. Trijnsteltalk 18:31, 10 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I have no objection to keeping these images. I have to trust Miha, although I haven't seen the ticket. --Eleassar (t/p) 20:42, 10 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The ticket appears legit, but I'd be much happier if they explicitly said they agreed to the CC-By-SA rahter than just "I agree". HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 22:03, 10 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I see. There's a form at COM:OTRS that should be used in future cases. --Eleassar (t/p) 22:05, 10 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I've verified the ticket and have to state two things: 1) the sender actually asked for the permission to publish these images "in Wikipedia"; 2) the responder has given the permission only for the photos, not for the architecture. --Eleassar (t/p) 14:12, 12 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, and that's not clear enough for us. They should give permission to use the images under cc-by-sa-3.0 or another license. Trijnsteltalk 14:16, 12 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, of course. --Eleassar (t/p) 14:18, 12 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
He was asked to publish photos under the CC-BY-SA 3.0 licence and was provided with a direct link to the page with details. He gave his agreements (note plural form used), which includes publishing photos of his architecture under CC-BY-SA 3.0. According to our law, it is enough for author to give permission for derivative works of his original work. Once again, if you consider the ticker not valid please send a mail directly to the author. At least for permissions-sl, there are even pre-made templates "sl-Zavrnjeno dovoljenje" (rejected). Best regards, --Miha (talk) 20:23, 12 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Please list the page where these permissions can be accessed so that we may verify whether they're appropriate. Thank you. --Eleassar (t/p) 20:30, 12 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
It is one of the options if you click on the Compose Answer drop down menu. Copies of these messages ready to edit are available at OTRS wiki and is synced with OTRS ticket system on demand. --Miha (talk) 23:18, 12 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. The fact is that the copyright holder was not informed the image will be published in Commons. He was asked to publish the image under the CC-BY-SA 3.0 license but was never explicitly warned that this means publishing his work to be available to anyone for any purpose and that this is irrevocable. He was asked to give permission for a photograph so that it may be used in the article about the museum in Wikipedia, but it was not stated which photograph. The reply did not explicitly cite the license. --Eleassar (t/p) 10:01, 13 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Can someone please close this ticket? I don't want to do it because I've proposed the files for deletion so it could be seen as personal and biased if I'd closed it as invalid. --Eleassar (t/p) 12:42, 17 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

There is not much we can do here. The ticket was closed automatically after Krd's reply (which he wrote about at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Deletion_requests/Files_in_Category:Slovene_Ethnographic_Museum), and, as also noted there, we have not received a reply to that. It follows that the remaining questions have to be addressed by the Commons community since, as far as I can see, all relevant details were provided in the DR. — Pajz (talk) 23:02, 3 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

These files, which were recently deleted for lacking OTRS permission, were just restored outside of process by the uploader (assuming that they're the same images; the names are not particularly mnemonic). Is the ticket from, for example, File:GB 20.jpg valid for these? LX (talk, contribs) 07:29, 28 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No, they are specifically not included in the ticket. There's a list of names from 3-A to 20, and 2 and 19 are both omitted. Legoktm (talk) 07:30, 28 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
More on that same topic:
  • I dropped Clarkcj12 a note regarding the diplomas since he was the original OTRS agent. I'll post in a few minutes regarding the 14 series, it seems like this spans multiple tickets. Legoktm (talk) 23:03, 29 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Ok so this user has sent in a lot of tickets, some files are being duplicated. I'll just go through the individual tickets and hopefully that covers it all.
So, again: the uploader designed his own diplomas? And operates a satellite? Were any control questions asked to verify that the uploader actually understands the basics of what makes one the copyright holder of a work, or are we now simply taking people's words for it when they claim to operate their own satellites, as long as they do so via OTRS? Considering several of the other files are photos of architectural works and models, was it confirmed that the uploader is the sole author (i.e. that he is both the architect and photographer) as claimed? LX (talk, contribs) 07:24, 30 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The other images look like they are approved by another OTRS Agent King of Hearts. But, with the diplomas I see what you mean, I will request, from the customer further verification of the copyright status. --Clarkcj12 (talk) 22:07, 30 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

More than three months later, I'm still waiting for a response here. Can you confirm that Gary Berkovich designed his own diplomas and operates a satellite? LX (talk, contribs) 19:47, 2 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi LX, many apologies for the delay. First, I do think it's safe to assume that the works and models are his, see their presentation at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary_Berkovich. Second, I have removed the PermissionOTRS bit from File:GB_21_Citation.jpeg and File:GB_22_Citation.jpeg as it is implausible (as you say). Could you add a DR if you think they are protected by copyright? (Probably so, at least as regards the former.) Third, as far as the satellite images are concerned, I agree that a release of the picture itself would not be plausible, so legitimacy of these images hinges on whether satellite imagery attracts copyright protection in first place (for instance, this is still somewhat controversial in Germany, though nowadays supported by the majority, but would probably be declined in Switzerland). If they do (as I believe is the case in the U.S.), there's probably not much we can do. — Pajz (talk) 06:27, 4 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

ticket 2006072710012609

Could a OTRS volunteer please look into the ticket number, mentioned in the description of File:Pereetfils.jpg, File:Fragments.jpg and File:Canet.jpg, and add a ticket with the correct syntax. And eventually check whether File:Iche-guernica.jpg and File:Masque d'André Breton par René Iché.jpg, which do not have a ticket number in its description, were also included in them permission. --Túrelio (talk) 15:03, 10 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

✓ Done with the first three images. The other two aren't on the same permission. — mantis [religiosa] — 22:09, 10 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. --Túrelio (talk) 22:26, 10 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Just to note that this is a really weak ticket. The ticket is based on an email which was forwarded from some random person. Amada44  talk to me 08:51, 13 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, sorry for replying that late. For now, I've marked the 2 remaining files only as disputed. But more has to be done. --Túrelio (talk) 16:54, 28 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Was the OTRS tag, added by template creator, ever verified by the OTRS team? The ID number may be wrong or missing some digits. --Denniss (talk) 12:31, 20 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

There is no ticket 201103261000904 in the premission queue.--Steinsplitter (talk) 15:25, 20 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
What's with 2011032610009040 to 2011032610009049 (if the last digit is missing)? --Denniss (talk) 20:05, 20 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Can't find any of them, but maybe it's an idea to ask User:Micki for help? He closed similar tickets and speaks the language. Trijnsteltalk 21:04, 20 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I did a quick search and found ticket:2011110110009181. I'm guessing Trijnstel found that as well. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 17:02, 21 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

OTRS tags added/used by User:Rw heart

Contribution log shows a lot of autotags with "OTRS permission added by non-OTRS member", multiple OTRS tickets in use. Please pick some images autotagged and verify the permissions. Smells a bit fishy. --Denniss (talk) 14:39, 20 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Nobody? mabdul 11:39, 2 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Mabdul, I cannot give the ok as I am unable to find a release under a specific free license in the ticket. Were you the person who forwarded it to us? — Pajz (talk) 23:26, 3 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, what about asking Cirillo for a new pic with a specific license? Apparently that ticket is not enough. Thanks, --Elitre (talk) 12:15, 4 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Ticket #2012111410011543

I have uploaded the pictures Svenska syndabockar.jpg, Det sista vittnet.jpg, Kaj med barnbarn.jpg, Vrede mot gudarna.jpg, Jämlikhet.jpg and Katharsis.jpg. Permission was granted by the copyright owner in an email on 14 November 2012. A response was received with the ticket number provided above. Nevertheless, texts have been posted in connection with the pictures, stating that permission has not been granted. Could you please help me resolve this issue? Artfreak4567 (talk) 04:02, 26 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Artfreak4567, the permission email could not be processed at the time it was sent since the agent dealing with it was unclear as to whether these files have already been uploaded to Commons and, if so, under which name. Now that we know the names, I have tagged the images accordingly, removing the old {OTRS pending} template that generated these notices. Note that I could not find http://www.andersson-markus.se/runor.html, http://www.andersson-markus.se/Stureplan.html and http://www.andersson-markus.se/four.html on Commons (these were also mentioned in the email); if you should decide to upload these, please leave a note here or on my talk page. Thank you, and apologies for the late reply you got here on this page. — Pajz (talk) 23:50, 3 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

(cross posted at OTRS talk)

The photograher may only wish to licence the low resolution size. Did I annotate it correctly or is there another method. Larger versions are available on the net but shouldn't be used to replace this file.--Canoe1967 (talk) 17:57, 26 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
There are two totally different images in the file page (see bottom), which is not acceptable. Please advise. Also, we me permission for this image from the creator/copyright holder by email as described in COM:CONSENT. --Krd 19:06, 26 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I created the file with one of my images for the copyright holder to view and adjust before uploading his image. Since then I was provided the low resolution image and overwrote mine. Can he insist on licence for the low resolution only even though higher resolution ones are on the net? This is all just to provide an image fo the infobox of Ms. Myles' article on en:wp.--Canoe1967 (talk) 19:49, 26 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Does this file have a ticket number yet? I am told an email was sent but Mr. Doda still needs to confirm the type of licence because his permission was too vague. We would also like to confirm the correct way to note that he is only licencing the low resolution image for the infobox. I have also been sent a different image for the article by Mr. Doda and he my mention that as well.--Canoe1967 (talk) 15:19, 5 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
There is a ticket:2013030210006399 - it does not follow the ideal format but it clearly proves intent of the photographer. It is unclear if we are going to get a better one. I am inclined to add {{PermissionOTRS}} and close this case. Thoughts? --Jarekt (talk) 12:43, 5 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

According to this file description, the copyright holder of the file allows anyone to use it for any purpose, provided that the copyright holder is properly attributed. However, the file description page does not seem to attribute the copyright holder. The author field only states that the file was previously uploaded to English Wikipedia by en:User:Chaldean (which in itself says nothing about who is the author or copyright holder). According to the file's metadata, it's a photo by Ali Al-Saadi/AFP/Getty Images. Is there any merit to the supposed OTRS permission? LX (talk, contribs) 13:04, 9 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

ticket:2007020610000767 is one of those very unclear tickets, likely since it is being badly translated from "Assyrian" (i did not know that Assyrian is being still used). But what the ticket says is that images taken from Ankawa.com are ok to be used on Wikipedia as long as they are attributed to Ankawa.com. No info on authors / photographers, or license. No claim that the website owns copyright to its content. --Jarekt (talk) 17:52, 11 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. Started Commons:Deletion requests/File:Zawra-shorta-friendly-dec07.jpg. It seems Ankawa.com contains a forum which is unmoderated and uses files from Wikimedia Commons without adhering to the licensing terms (see the fourth entry on File talk:Pergamonmuseum Babylon Ischtar-Tor.jpg), so that ticket is demonstrably invalid and should be marked as such. See also Commons:Deletion requests/File:صدام و چند آمریکایی.jpg, Commons:OTRS/Noticeboard/archive/2012#File:Kha BNisan in Nahla.jpg, en:Wikipedia talk:File copyright tags/Archive 8#CAnkawa and en:User talk:Chaldean/Archive3#CAnkawa images/en:User talk:Jkelly/Archive09#Deleted images. This probably also calls File:Meyassr Behnam.jpeg, File:Chaldean Rite Martyrs prayer - Tuesday Matins.ogg, File:Chaldean Rite Martyrs prayer - Tuesday Vespers.ogg, File:Chaldean Rite Martyrs prayer - Monday Matins.ogg, File:Chaldean Rite Martyrs prayer - Thursday Matins.ogg and File:Chaldean Rite Martyrs prayer - Monday Vespers.ogg into question. On English Wikipedia, there's en:File:Fawzi Hariri.jpg, en:File:Assyrians in Russia.jpg, en:File:PaulosFarajRahho.png, en:File:Karamelsaid.jpg – all of which are tagged to be transferred here, whereas they should probably just be deleted from there. I realise that this is an old ticket, but if the OTRS volunteer who approved this ticket is still an authorised OTRS agent, please make sure that they understand that tickets like this should not be approved. LX (talk, contribs) 19:12, 11 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I am quite new to OTRS, and do not understand it very well, but with a lot of old tickets there does not seem to be an "approval" process. For this ticket all email exchange was between a wikipedia user and OTRS. User claimed to have reserved an email from Ankawa.com, but could no forward it. Most emails are questions to that user with no answer, except that we do not know his name or username, ( some name on the email matches username in this category. ). I suspect that OTRS templates were not added by OTRS volunteer. Other files related to this ticket:
--Jarekt (talk) 19:55, 11 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
It's been ages since I gave up my OTRS access, so my memory is a little hazy, but I think some queues are typically used for more generic correspondence, like the info queues. I think you should still be able to add a comment noting the problems with the "permission". LX (talk, contribs) 20:46, 11 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Check for email regarding File:TangieAmbrose with short hair.JPG

I provided some advice to the uploaders of TangieAmbrose with short hair.JPG (recently deleted) regarding contacting OTRS (I am also pointing them to this page). It was deleted with just a notation of "Copyright violation", so I'm not sure if the deleting admin checked OTRS.

I believe the OTRS email was sent by Tangie Ambrose, the subject of the photograph. Superm401 - Talk 05:36, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The ticket:2013021410001462 is about File:TangieAmbrose with short hair.JPG. The file was deleted as a copy of http://www.tangieambrose.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/IMG_9869.JPG. The email associated with the www.tangieambrose.com website is "Tangie@TangieAmbrose.com" which is not the email of the original correspondence with OTRS. Since the image was previously published it might be prudent to request proof that person sending the permission is associated with the website. That can be done by sending email from "Tangie@TangieAmbrose.com". --Jarekt (talk) 13:40, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
There is a permission statement in OTRS, I reviewed it. However, it did not specify a file name on Commons, it only referred to an attached image, so I sent the standard request for a link to the uploaded image, and received no reply. While I cannot see the deleted image, the description is consistent with the image attached to the email, and matches the photo at the link. If someone wants to undelete the image, I can process the permission, after sending an email to Tangie@TangieAmbrose.com to confirm. --Sphilbrick (talk) 13:50, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
The image in OTRS email matches File:TangieAmbrose with short hair.JPG. I undeleated it. --Jarekt (talk) 13:58, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Проблемы при получении номера OTRS для работ, размещённых на Flickr

Здравствуйте. Извините что пишу на русском так как не хватает знаний английского для полноценного объяснения :-( Проблема в следующем: есть David Osborn, размещающий свои фотографии на авиационную тематику на Flickr и Panoramio (в общей сложности более 20 тысяч фото и коллекция постоянно растёт). Я три месяца (а точнее с 25 декабря 2012 года) переписывался с ним что бы он дал добро на публикацию своих работ. В результате он написал таки письмо 14 или 15 марта (типовое по образцу из http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Declaration_of_consent_for_all_enquiries) на permissions-commons @ wikimedia.org А в ответ агент OTRS Stephen Philbrick ответил следующее:

David

As explained at <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Flickr_files>, images

from Flickr can be used on Wikimedia Commons without the need for email verification of permission. All that's needed is to follow these two steps:

1. Choose a compatible license on Flickr: Ask the Flickr user to place his/her

image under one of the two licenses that Wikimedia Commons accepts, that is to say Creative Commons Attribution and Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike.

To edit a license, the owner of the image should sign in and go to the image in

question, then under Additional Information, the first line will read "All rights reserved" or "some rights reserved". The owner will see a link (edit) next to this, and should click the link and choose the "Attribution Creative Commons" or "Attribution-ShareAlike Creative Commons" option, then click Save.

2. Upload the image to Wikimedia Commons: Once the image has been placed under a

valid license, go to <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Upload> or click the Upload file link on any page on Commons. Choose the second option ("someone else's work from Flickr") and complete the required details. There's more information and help about uploading images at <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Upload>.

Please make sure you enter the link to the image on Flickr in the "original

source" field, and choose the appropriate license from the licensing drop-down.

Once the file has been uploaded, it will be placed in a queue for administrators

and trusted users to review and verify that it is correctly tagged and licensed.

If the image is already uploaded, you should add the tag {{flickrreview}} to the

image description page which will add it to the review queue.

As we are unable to verify the authenticity of Flickrmails or to connect an email

address to a Flickr account, we cannot validate permissions for images from Flickr outside of this process.


Yours sincerely,

Stephen Philbrick

Обратите вникание на последний абзац, в котором говориться о невозможности проверки. Но при этом вот здесь: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Flickr_files#Lower_quality_images пишут что таки сие возможно...
Я сейчас даже не знаю что делать. Хозяин коллекции отказывается изменять лицензию на фотохостингах, но готов предоставить свои работы под свободной лицензией (CC-BY-SA 3.0) на commons. А самое главное что я недопонимаю где именно и в чём проблема (всё таки я не так силён в английском как хотелось бы). Подскажите, пожалуйста, варианты решения этой проблемы. --ze-dan (talk) 17:48, 18 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

ticket #2009110110006857 - Tarcisius statue

File:Minis2Echternach2009.jpg and File:TarcisiusEchternach.jpg were recently deleted as "Media without a source". These two photographs were originally uploaded to de.wikipedia.org by user Tanjalux and later transferred to Commons. It seems that both show a work (sculpture) by Bernhard Lang and are photographed by Tanja Konsbruck, according to descriptions. Tanja Konsbruck is probably de-Wikipedia user Tanjalux. The description of File:TarcisiusEchternach.jpg gives Tanja Konsbruck as source and author, whereas File:Minis2Echternach2009.jpg gives Bernhard Lang and says at "permission": (Bernhard Lang (CH) und Tanja Konsbruck (L)). Now, we have a similar file at File:Tarcisius in Echternach.jpg containing an OTRS permission. As there is no freedom of panorama in Luxembourg, we need permission from the sculptor, Bernhard Lang. So, could an OTRS volunteer look at this ticket in order to confirm whether it covers the sculpture? If this ticket is about the sculpture, I think we can restore the deleted two photographs, even without an OTRS permission of the photographer, as the photographs seem to be plausible own works of uploader Tanjalux. Or maybe the permission covers both (sculptor and photographer)? Gestumblindi (talk) 19:14, 18 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Ticket:2009110110006857 contains an e-mail by Bernhard Lang in which he clearly intends to release "grosse Tarcisiusstatue – Bild von Tanja Konsbruck – tanjalux [Ticket#: 2009110110014348" under a free license (the mail contains the boilerplate about third parties being able to use it commercially etc), but Mr Lang does not specify which particular free license he releases the image under. I'm not sure if that answers the question, bit that's all I can tell based on the OTRS correspondence. Sandstein (talk) 18:25, 20 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks a lot. So the release is only about one specific picture, not all pictures Tanja Konsbruck made of the statue? And furthermore, if he forgot to explicitly state the applicable license, it's basically invalid and there is no license at all. Now I'm not sure whether we should be formalistic in this case and delete File:Tarcisius in Echternach.jpg also - or just assume that the e-mail by the sculptor Bernhard Lang is evidence enough that, at least for this specific photo, he's fine with reproduction, "third parties being able to use it commercially etc." - One of many examples showing that our licensing requirements seem often a bit hard to fulfill even for those who are perfectly willing to do so... Gestumblindi (talk) 19:09, 20 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, he mentions only one image, but as the sculptor he can't affect the copyright status of any one photograph, only that of the statue the photograph depicts. No way that this release would hold up in court for either work, if only because no particular license is mentioned, but on the other hand I agree that it is very difficult for laypeople to correctly formulate (or even understand) licensing statements. Sandstein (talk) 21:51, 20 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I would have thought that, as the creator, the sculptor could also release only one particular view of the statue as shown in a specific photograph...? Couldn't I, if I were a sculptor, say e.g. "I release the front view of my sculpture X under license Z, but no other view"? Gestumblindi (talk) 14:26, 24 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
That's a good question. I suppose that would work. Sandstein (talk) 12:37, 26 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Ticket: 2011022010002506

I don't have access to whatever queue this ticket is in (presumably PL permissions). Piotrobr (talk · contribs) has recently uploaded paintings by the still-living Zbigniew Kresowaty, who has apparently granted permission in the above ticket to host certain of his works (e.g., File:Zbigniew Bieńkowski.JPG). Does the above ticket apply to the works just uploaded by Piotrobr as well, or do they need to be deleted? Эlcobbola talk 19:55, 21 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I can't access it either; I've asked on the mailing list for an OTRS admin to move it to permissions-commons. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 14:08, 22 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
OK, Daniel has kindly moved it to permissions-commons, but it contains over 100 emails and they're all in Polish.

Claudio Edinger images uploaded by User:Estudioe

I note that among images covered by Ticket 2013020510005225 are included several book covers (link to files). Where it meets the threshold of originality, a cover design's copyright is likely held by the publisher, not by the book's author, so an attestation by the author that he or she freely licenses an image of the book cover is not sufficient unless it's accompanied by a similar statement from the publisher.

In my non-expert opinion, some of the covers in this case may fall below the threshold of originality and thus not be eligible for copyright qua book cover. Nevertheless, I often wonder when I see an OTRS ticket connected an image of a book cover whether the OTRS volunteer is aware that the author doesn't hold the rights to the cover art and therefore can't license an image of the cover. I have similar misgivings when I see a dustjacket photo of an author (or, in fact, any professional head shot) provided by the subject or an associate: typically, at least in North America, the copyright to head shots belongs to the photographer, not to the subject, so the subject's consent to publish it under a free license is immaterial. --Rrburke (talk) 15:39, 26 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Ticket needed for three images

Ticket was sent regarding three images in Category:Miloš Mićović. That is one Serbian top model, and his official photographer send us e-mail regarding there images. Can anyone find it? I think that subject is "Miloš Mićović" or something... :=) For any further info, please, i am here. --WhiteWriter speaks 15:46, 27 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I found ticket:2013031610005248, but that one covers File:Milos ,2008 ..jpg, File:Milos Micovic "PUSTI DA TE VOLIM".jpg and File:Milos Micovic.jpg. As the first one was deleted as copyvio, the OTRS volunteer hesitated to accept it for the other two and asked for a clarification (with no response). File:MM2.jpg isn't mentioned in the ticket. Trijnsteltalk 13:23, 1 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'd like a progress report on the re-instatement of the above file, a photo of artist James Mylne which was deleted from the wiki article which I authored. I've had contact with a Miss Sophie and I Never Cry at Commons, as well as Mr. Mylne himself, but progress seems to have stagnated. I'd decided to step back while James Mylne dealt with getting the proper permission to you but I haven't heard back from him about it; just thought I'd look into it myself, as I'd like to be able to re-insert the photo to the wiki as part of a revision which has been on standby while this is handled. Your attention and assistance with this is appreciated. Penwatchdog (talk) 06:11, 28 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Additional info in this matter: The picture was deleted because of an insufficient permission (see Commons:Deletion requests/File:James Mylne.jpg), that didn't come from the copyright holder Danfung Dennis but the displayed person James Mylne. Now a new (valid) permission by the photographer Danfung Dennis, forwarded by James Mylne, should have been received by OTRS staff, according to what James Mylne wrote on my talk page. --Miss-Sophie (talk) 03:10, 30 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Latest word from James Mylne is that Mr. Danfung's permission has been solicited directly, permission-template and OTRS contacts have been provided to him, and Danfung has agreed to "handle it"... If someone can please keep an eye out for his permission and push it through, I thank you kindly in advance. Penwatchdog (talk) 04:33, 31 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Any progress on "Dream Chaser and the International Space Station.jpg" and other images uploaded by "DreamChaser Media"?

This is continuing the conversation started here that hadn't received a response since October 2012. The images were uploaded by an "SNC authorized communications team member" so I'm trying to get those files restored but I feel like I'm talking to a wall here.--Craigboy (talk) 07:44, 2 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Craigbox, I'm sorry to hear that. As far as I can see, the reply first erroneously sent out to you on Aug. 18 was re-sent to the intended recipient on Aug. 27, but unfortunately I cannot find a reply from him in our system. Best wishes, — Pajz (talk) 22:54, 3 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I've just looked into this in some detail. I'll give the sequence of events so it's clear: DreamChaser Media uploads a series of images to Commons, tagging them as CC-Cy-SA, but neglected to specify (and authenticate) that he worked for the Sierra Nevada Corporation, who own the copyright. Attempts were made at authentication, but the images were deleted. In the meantime, somebody from the Sierra Nevada Corporation (I won't say any more on a public noticeboard because OTRS tickets are confidential) emailed Craigboy, who forwarded the message to OTRS, stating that DreamChaser Media is "an SNC authorized communications team member". This isn't perfect, but I would say it's clear enough that we can use common sense to put two and two (DreamChaser Media's CC-By-SA tag + the company's confirmation that he is acting on their behalf) together to make four (the company agrees to the CC-By-SA license). As such, I propose to undelete the images, with the exception of the logos (as I suspect these were meant for Wikipedia as fair use), unless somebody thinks I've made a mistake. I'll leave the thread open a day or so for any objections. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 12:38, 4 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I found out these files were deleted while reviewing my watchlist for the Killbot and Jonathan Davis pages on wikipedia. No message was left on my Talk Page here at the Commons and no explanation of why the files were up for deletion in the first place. Permission was sent to OTRS and recieved by OTRS as well as approved by OTRS months ago so I don't understand why the files were deleted at least as of 26 Mar 2013. I have searched the deletion log and can't seem to find information on the file and why it was deleted. A template was not left on the Talk Page of the image nor my Talk Page on the circumstances of the deletion. The only thing I can find is this information left on the wikipedia pages for Killbot and Jonathan Davis "Removing "Killbot.jpg", it has been deleted from Commons by HJ Mitchell because: OTRS: Unaccepted or insufficient permission for use on Commons". Again, these images were cleared months ago and no notifications were made to let me know something changed in your policies that these permissions were pulled. The permissions came from Killbot and Jonathan Davis' management who have authorized me to keep the images at wikipedia updated for all of their projects. What more do you need to assure these files are undeleted and that this doesn't happen again in the future? Nbcwd (talk) 13:18, 3 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

According to Special:PermanentLink/93310533#File:J Devil (Jonathan Davis).jpg and File:Killbot.jpg Permissions, it seems that you may have obtained permission from the wrong person, or credited the wrong person for making the works. Someone would have to check both the OTRS tickets and that discussion to confirm whether the permission is sufficient and whether it comes from the right person. --Stefan4 (talk) 13:27, 3 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Prospect Park is Korn, Killbot, and Jonathan Davis' management and they own both photos. There is no one else to get permission from. That is the top of the line for permissions on releases of photos or even information relating to Killbot of Jonathan Davis or Korn. They own the copyright and gave me permission to release them to Wikipedia. Can you please check and see what the problem is so it can be resolved since I don't have access to the OTRS tickets or discussions? Who is the "authority" on permissions? Since the person that gave permission is the absolute top of the line short of Jonathan Davis himself, which has also granted me permission to post these photos for him, what other routes are there? Nbcwd (talk) 00:45, 4 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Hi. Sorry this came out of the blue. There's some background a Commons:OTRS/Noticeboard/archive/2012#File:J Devil (Jonathan Davis).jpg and File:Killbot.jpg Permissions. Perhaps you could provide some clarification, then we can look at undeletion. First, where did these images come from—who made them, and who own the copyright to them? Second, what does "Photo/Art by Fadewood Studios/Terrance W. Blanton/Devin Taylor" mean—are they the copyright holders? None of them are the people who emailed OTRS. Third, whoever the copyright holder is, do they understand that the license tag you selected means that anybody can use that image for any purpose whatsoever (including commercial use)? Or to put it another way, they understand that they're not giving permission exclusively for Wikipedia, but for anyone. So I'm rather confused, but if you can answer those questions, I'll hopefully be much less confused and we can look at undeleting the images. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 12:07, 4 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Hello HJ! Thanks so much for getting back to me! Ok, I think I can clarify all of this. Fadewood Studios/Tarrance Blanton/Devin Taylor are the photographers for the J Devil and Killbot images but the copyright owners are Killbot and J Devil (Jonathan Davis). They contracted Fadewook Studios for the images but they own them in full. Their management, Prospect Park, are the releasing agents and have given me releasing authority for photos of Korn, Killbot, J Devil, and Jonathan Davis to put up for Wikipedia. Yes, they understand that this license means that it is free to use anywhere. They read the licensing before sending to the OTRS. Brian Simpson, Manager at Prospect Park is the correct person. You will never get an email directly from Jonathan Davis, management takes care of all of that for him with his authority. I have been given the same authority, all images I upload I get approved directly from the artist and management before uploading. There should be an email on file concerning that from Brian Simpson at Prospect Park. I think it was on a Korn image that he included that statement. They passed off this authority to me as an authorized representative of the artist so that they could deal with other pressing matters. Please let me know if there is anything else you need for clarification so that we can get this worked out. Thank you again! Nbcwd (talk) 12:42, 4 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
That works for me. A question could be raised about how they came to own the images, but if you tell me that they've discussed it with Fadewook Studios, I'll assume good faith on that and the OTRS ticket does indeed include an email from their management, so I'll undelete the images. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 13:08, 4 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You can use both of them without any worry! You can use all of them!--MehdiTalk 03:58, 7 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This file:

  • has an OTRS permission
  • has another deleted file as source (deleted rationale: duplicate)

Jeriby on Commons:Bistro would like to know the exact file source to fix the file description.

I agree with the importance of the request: we don't publish medias without a clear source stated. --Dereckson (talk) 11:31, 7 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

File:TGV 2N2 4701 Basel.jpg was deleted and replaced by File:TGV 2N2 4701 Basel (w).jpg as it contained a watermark. The permission in the ticket (ticket:2010101910013378) was accepted, though I'm not sure if that was the right thing to do as the name mentioned in the email (and on the watermark) is not the same as the name of the person who *send* the email. I'd appreciate it if another OTRS volunteer could look into this matter and give a second opinion. I'm inclined to delete the file or ask for a more clear permission. Anyone? BTW, the source of the deleted file was {{Own}} (own work) and the "permission" in the ticket suggests the same. Trijnsteltalk 12:27, 7 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Ticket 2013030410003316

Hi. I am working the backlog at en:WP:PUI. Could I get someone to confirm that ticket 2013030410003316 is legitimately from the copyright holder - Langcaster Guitars - and applies to en:File:Langcaster Stratocaster.jpg and en:File:Langcaster Pickups.jpg? Also, there is a third image in this series of uploads - en:File:Langcaster 12 Pole Pickups.jpg. Can you check to see if the permission applies to this image as well? Thanks. --UserB (talk) 11:48, 7 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I check it. We have only 6 images in this ticket and en:File:Langcaster 12 Pole Pickups.jpg is not into the list of user agreement in this ticket. --MehdiTalk 12:23, 7 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
As a follow-up, these are the six files mentioned in the ticket:
en:File:Langcaster_First_Model_Head.jpg
en:File:Langcaster_Pickups.jpg
en:File:Langcaster_Telecaster.jpg
en:File:Langcaster_Stratocaster.jpg
en:File:Langcaster_Koru_Paua_Head.jpg
en:File:Langcaster_Anniversary_Head.jpg
