[edit]

Is there a ticket associated with the file? --Geohakkeri (talk) 22:11, 11 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Source site, which certainly appears to be the photographer, says "I release the copyright of the following images and release them into the Public Domain". Why would we need a ticket? - Jmabel ! talk 02:21, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Geohakkeri & @Jmabel: in ticket:2024070110006407, they say CC BY-SA 4.0. My belief has always been that where explicit permissions are clear, a permission release is not necessary. Regards, Aafi (talk) 05:14, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Jmabel and Aafi: See my question on the file talk page. The Twitter source page indeed looked good to me until I saw that it was sort of disregarded in Special:Diff/891544873. But maybe that was just a simple mistake by Krd? --Geohakkeri (talk) 07:09, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The file was uploaded on 17:56, 11 May 2024‎, and the X URL says “2:50 p. m. · 11 may. 2024”. Be careful with the Flickrwashing. Besides, it says Public Domain. Version? And ticket:2024070110006407 says CC BY SA 4.0. Very confusing. --Ganímedes (talk) 02:53, 13 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The Twitter account had already posted the same photo earlier: https://x.com/GeorgeMicro1/status/1769031711478686156 --Geohakkeri (talk) 09:07, 13 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Ganímedes: I assume you are using "Flickrwashing" very loosely, since Flickr is in no way involved. Are you saying you have some reason to doubt that the Twitter/X account in question belongs to the person who took the photo? Can you give any evidence for why we should doubt that? - Jmabel ! talk 21:54, 13 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
No, I'm just saying that we must verify all the dates, sources, and licenses. --Ganímedes (talk) 01:26, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Hi,

Did you receive the email from the copyright holder for this file and others from the same series? Thank you. Adam Harangozó (talk) 08:05, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It is impossible to know for sure. A search didn't find anything. Please encourage them to send again. --Krd 09:11, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Vollpension photos

[edit]

Hello, folks. First time here, first time doing email permissions. I uploaded six photographs (File:Vollpension Schleifmuehlgasse 2.jpg, File:Vollpension Johannesgasse 1.png, File:Vollpension Schleifmuehlgasse 3.jpg, File:Vollpension Schleifmuehlgasse 4.png, File:Vollpension Schleifmuehlgasse 5.png, File:Vollpension Schleifmuehlgasse.jpg). The permission was sent by the copyright holder before I uploaded them (seemed logical to me at the time) and so no URL was included in the email. I included the PP template. I hope this will be alright. Surtsicna (talk) 22:09, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Should work out, but will be more difficult. If you were cc'd on the email, it would probably be helpful to reply to "all" on the thread with the URLs. (I'm not on the VRT, but this is what I've seen in the past.) - Jmabel ! talk 04:51, 23 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Please provide the ticket number. Krd 09:13, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I replied to all with the URLs. Good idea, Jmabel! Krd, the ticket number I see for the first two files (somehow the only two reviewed so far) is #2024082210008427. Surtsicna (talk) 12:50, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
What is the question or request? --Krd 13:45, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ticket:2009063010002351

[edit]

Can someone check what/how Ticket:2009063010002351 plays into File:Radar image of the 2011 Joplin tornado May 22, 2011 2248Z.png? Several discussions on radar images have occurred, which has lead to {{PD-NEXRAD}} becoming a thing. Per the ticket, it says attribution is required for a NEXRAD radar screenshot. Just wanting to check if that ticket is actually for that specific radar screenshot, since this seems to be the sole exception to PD-NEXRAD. WeatherWriter (talk) 23:49, 24 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Photos of Dilaver Najafov

[edit]

Dear volunteers,

I have contacted with photographer Dilaver Najafov and he agreed to upload his photos under Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 4.0 International license. He have sent the required OTRS mail, where he mentioned the links of his account pages from where he agreed to upload his photos, to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org and got ticket number 2024082610003915. As his permission template will be ready, could you please share it with me so I can upload his photos into Commons under license above.

Many thanks, Interfase (talk) 06:24, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Interfase, looks like file isn’t yet uploaded to commons. You should upload them first (as the author agreed to give permission). Then provide the files url/name to them, so that they can choose to send permission by specifying the files name/url. –TANBIRUZZAMAN (💬) 06:30, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There are a lot of files on his account pages (facebook/instagram etc.). If I upload one of them, can the permission cover all the photos from these pages? Interfase (talk) 06:36, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Negative. Patiently upload all of the files author have agreed to give permissions. Then ask them to send permission by specifying all of the files name or url. –TANBIRUZZAMAN (💬) 06:52, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
But author already mentioned url links of his official account pages where his photos are uploaded in the mail. I have uploaded one photo from his facebook page here: File:Hasrat Jafarov at the 2024 Summer Olympics.jpg Interfase (talk) 06:58, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I think that it is possible to have one unique ticket number for all his photos from the pages he mentioned in his mail and agreed to upload into Commons. Interfase (talk) 07:16, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I have sent the email [Ticket#: 2024082610003915] with the links to the categories with some of his photos from his facebook page (mentioned in his permission mail). Please check is it OK? Interfase (talk) 08:39, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

VRT file nominated for deletion

[edit]

Hello, I've nominated a file that was passed through VRT for deletion at Commons:Deletion requests/File:Simon Ekpa portrait, 2023.jpg. I have no idea what the VRT email said, but thought it worth dropping a notification here in case there was something surprising in the email. Best, CMD (talk) 20:09, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I thnik there is nothing in the ticket that interferes with the deletion rationale. Krd 06:31, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

This has a VRT ticket, but I suspect it does not cover the underlying work from which this derives. Can someone check? Thanks. - Jmabel ! talk 20:13, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The file doesn't have a permission ticket and should be deleted. Krd 06:27, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
