Files wurden gelöscht, obwohl sie genehmigt wurden

Hallo, unter https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Deletion_requests/Files_uploaded_by_Sunshine76 wurde entschieden, dass meine zur Löschung vorgeschlagenen Fotos behalten werden und in der Diskussion unten steht, dass ein "O.Koslowski" die OTRS templates ergänzen hätte sollen, was aber offenbar leider nicht passiert ist. Die Files wurden am 24.12. gelöscht und auch von der Seite entfernt.

Habe ich da etwas missverstanden/falsch gemacht oder falls nicht, könnt ihr bitte die Files wieder herstellen und mit den notwendigen templates versehen? Muss es auf der Seite von https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gert_Haussner neu verlinkt werden?

Question regarding works by Hans Stocker

The painter Hans Stocker died in 1983, so his works are still protected by copyright. He also created stained glass windows for churches, and there are several photographs of such windows in Category:Works by Hans Stocker (painter) (category newly created by NeverDoING). As there is no freedom of panorama for the interior of buildings in Switzerland, we can keep these (taken from the inside) only if there is a free license. I notice that some of the older uploads such as File:Karl Luzern Glasfenster Christus.jpg have an OTRS ticket #2014062810005281 and were restored by Steinsplitter after this restoration request in 2014. My question now is: Does this OTRS permission apply to all works by Hans Stocker or only specifically to Stocker's works in St. Karl church in Lucerne? If the latter, then we would have delete some of the later uploads (windows of St. Anton church in Basel). I believe that we could keep File:St-anton-basel-innen.jpg (which I took and uploaded in 2007), as I think that in this case, the glass windows are de minimis (blurry, not central to the image - I therefore removed it from the Hans Stocker category) and the church itself, the lectern, altar, and choir cross are designed by Karl Moser, who died in 1936. Gestumblindi (talk) 13:57, 7 January 2018 (UTC)

OTRS tickets for images showing artwort nearly always apply to the specific images only. This is also the case here. --Krd 18:47, 7 January 2018 (UTC)

File:UCU Library.jpg and File:Perfectial.jpg

Hi! As I saw yesterday, the uploaded by me images (such as File:UCU Library.jpg, File:UCU Library.jpg) was deleted by User:Smooth O. I have two questions:

1) File:UCU Library.jpg - the friend of mine who personally took this photo sent an email with written permission on "permissions-commons@wikimedia.org". It was done on the Ukrainian language in September 2017. Could you please restore the image or should I request undeletion?

2) File:Perfectial.jpg - The owner of the company Andriy Skoropad (by my request) personally sent the written permission on "permissions-commons@wikimedia.org" today. Here is a ticket number -[Ticket#2018011110006965] (Confirmation of receipt). Could you please restore the image or should I request undeletion?

Thank in advance for your reply. Chekannataliia (talk) 14:20, 11 January 2018 (UTC)

@Chekannataliia: It takes few months to process an OTRS ticket due to a huge queue of messages. Please be patient: a sysop will undelete the files once the tickets is approved. --Ruthven (msg) 13:59, 12 January 2018 (UTC)

@Chekannataliia: I found no tickets bound to that e-mail. A possibility is that it was moved into spam. Can you please ask your friend to forward us the e-mail again? Thank you. As I said before, the file will be undeleted after processing the ticket. --Ruthven (msg) 15:00, 12 January 2018 (UTC)

@Chekannataliia: Thank you, I already answered. Unfortunately there is not Freedom of Panorama in Ukraine, which means that you cannot photograph freely a building for anything else than personal purposes. Sorry. --Ruthven (msg) 12:34, 15 January 2018 (UTC)

Photographs by user: Vyacheslav Bukharov

I report on behalf of aforementioned user having one photo under discussed deletion on a bogus accusation and another one deleted because a doppelgänger was found on an obscure site http://dist66.ru/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=94#p530 where some schoolchildren compose compilations of photos obviously not made by themselves. The photographer has no specific evidences (neither physical nor digital) proving his authorship, except possibly for EXIF indicating the date about 2003. The photographs are purely personal and no institution is involved. I doubt that he is a photographer of any note with known credentials (such as website or a Email address), nor has he any friends among Wikimedians.

If anything good can be done about File:Качканар - ключ от города.jpg using OTRS (the “previously published without a free license” clause, or any else?), then contact the photographer, please. Note that I watch that page so you haven’t contact or ping me explicitly about the problem. Thank for your attention. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 14:15, 12 January 2018 (UTC)

Template:Odelay

I think, this info may be misleading in some cases as various COM:OTRS language versions suggest sending emails to various language-specyfic OTRS queues, and not all queues are configured for autoresponse (eg. permissions-es, -it & -pl are not). @Jameslwoodward: pinging you as this is your change. Ankry (talk) 19:40, 13 January 2018 (UTC)

The template is simply an easy way of writing out what I and others usually say anyway. I'd be happy to have you:

1) suggest specific changes here,

2) have appropriate translations made, or

3) have the automatic reply added to the other versions of OTRS.

Obviously (3) would be the best solution since keeping people waiting without knowing what is happening is not good.

Until either (2) or (3) can be implemented, how about this:

"If a free license has been sent to OTRS, then the image will be restored automatically when and if the e-mail 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 24 days before the e-mail is processed and the image is restored.

If the message was sent to the English language version of OTRS, if the e-mail 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."

I have changed the template, with one change -- the first sentence of the second paragraph didn't read right to me. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 10:50, 14 January 2018 (UTC)

*sigh* You really couldn't be patient could you? I just responded back to the original email after going through all the images. Now there is going to be more duplicates.

• ticket:2018012810004999 regarding an album cover by Shifta and Che'Nelle.

@Cleanzuhause: Please note we currently have just over 10,000 emails to go through at OTRS and not enough volunteers. The backlog stretches back to April 2017. Why should your upload be prioritised above all the others? If you intend to use it on an article, it will be easier to upload locally under fair use (if the wiki allows it), until the ticket is attended to. For the record, I’m not 100% confident that the emailer (who I assume is a family member) has the authority to license the album cover. It would be better to have the license come directly from either Shifta or Che'Nelle (they each have verified websites that would more than suffice). Green Giant (talk) 12:05, 30 January 2018 (UTC)

File:Lord John Taylor.jpg

One question. Did the copyright holder give permission to allow image larger than 500px per Ticket:2017031310014487? Someone else uploaded a version larger than the initial size. George Ho (talk) 21:19, 1 February 2018 (UTC)

Oh, dear. This ticket went on for ages... No size is actually specified, however as soon as it was deleted (17:31, 25 February 2017), then the e-mail arrived the next day asking for undeletion. So we have to assume that 500 × 490 is the size that the long e-mail trail refers to. Also knowing all the discussion, my view is that they would not want a bigger one. I'll hide the big image. Ronhjones  ^(Talk) 01:23, 2 February 2018 (UTC)

@Ronhjones: You should also protect the page though, to avoid further changes. However, I think that forbidding to scale the image up goes against the "modification" part of the CC by-sa license. --Ruthven (msg) 15:32, 10 February 2018 (UTC)

@Ruthven: OK, I think that if someone was to take the image and just scale up, then that should be allowed. It's not so clear when someone uploads a bigger, obviously higher resolution image which is not derived from the original. Ronhjones  ^(Talk) 17:22, 10 February 2018 (UTC)

@Ronhjones: Upload-protection is okay, but I think page-protection in any form is too extensive. Upload-protection can be retained, but the page should be either unprotected (or lowered to semi-protection). George Ho (talk) 23:30, 14 February 2018 (UTC)

Hi, Apologies if this is utterly stupid but I have 0% knowledge with OTRS,
For this image it states the Author is "Ville Paul Paasimaa" and they've released it under a "Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 Unported" license however the source provided is "Instagram" instead of "Own Work"
I wasn't sure whether this was a copyvio and everyone was fooled or whether everything's above board and the source bit was a honest mistake,
Thanks, –Davey2010^Talk 03:14, 20 February 2018 (UTC)

@Davey2010: In the source field you can put whatever the source is. So, if a file comes from an Instagram account, it's ok to write that. The ticket is in Finnish, but looks regular an valid for the two photos (the other one was published at [1]). Normally OTRS tickets are not about "own work", but about authors that are not the uploaders. Sometimes the source tag {{Author permission}} is used. --Ruthven (msg) 12:14, 26 February 2018 (UTC)

I have personally received permission from a well-known numismatist to upload images he sent me, as forwarded messages can be manipulated I supposed that I can't do that, but out of curiosity can a forwarded message be accepted or would I have to ask him to e-mail to the OTRS directly, though I'm still trying to convince him to register an account. --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (Talk 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 13:41, 8 March 2018 (UTC)

{ping|Donald Trung}} OTRS do not accept forwarded e-mails any more. The permission needs to come from the copyright holder, and his identity will need to be verified (unless the e-mail domain makes it obvious)Ronhjones  ^(Talk) 18:48, 9 March 2018 (UTC)

Why was Anno Domini band photo deleted?

I have just seen "(Bot: Removing Commons:File:Anno Domini (NSW band) heads 600px wide.jpg (en). It was deleted on Commons by Jcb (No permission since 8 February 2018).)" Why did Jcb delete this photo? I completed all the copyright question messages asked for when I uploaded it. I created the image and have the warm approval of the men in it, the band members.

File:Vittorio Messori Desenzano 2004.jpg

Can someone check OTRS ticket for this File:Vittorio Messori Desenzano 2004.jpg and add template as appropriate. --Smooth O (talk) 10:45, 11 January 2018 (UTC)

Smooth O, I looked at ticket:2007120610013743 and ticket:2007120610013654. I don't see any permission from the photographer, or even indication of who that might have been. Not relevant to this project, but I also see what appears to be an invalid release of text material under the GFDL, which has not been acceptable for Wikipedia since 2009 or so, but perhaps I'm mistaken. Ping Elitre, who handled the tickets. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 12:23, 11 January 2018 (UTC)

In ticket:2007120610013743 it is specified that he releases the photo in the public domain, which is acceptable. I think that it is appropriate, and that the customer was entitled to provide the permission; maybe the e-mail... --Ruthven (msg) 18:21, 21 January 2018 (UTC)

Ruthven, please forgive me if I am being obtuse here, but I see no indication that the person who made that claim was the photographer, nor any evidence of how copyright ownership was acquired by that person from the photographer. Why is the public-domain claim sufficient, and why would we accept it from that person? I wasn't around in 2007, but I know that I would ask for further clarification if I handled that ticket now – probably using our standard "permission from photographer not subject" reply. Note: I seem to have completely failed to notice the age of this ticket when I looked at it before – my comment above about an invalid release under the GFDL is quite wrong.

Li Mei-shu Memorial Gallery wants to donate Li's painting works to Commons

Hello, OTRS agents. Li Mei-shu Memorial Gallery has a cooperation with Wikimedia Taiwan, and want to donate Li's painting works to Wikimedia Commons. Now the gallery send a letter to OTRS (Ticket:2018011710003313) asking about the process and format of this donation. Please give us suggestions. CC: @Reke and Shangkuanlc. This is Taiwania Justo speaking (Reception Room) 08:28, 17 January 2018 (UTC)

@Taiwania Justo: It seems that the ticket has been answered. The basic process is to ensure that the Gallery holds all the copyright for the photos and provides a valid license. Then, a customized license template will be made for their uploads, or simply they will be marked as OTRS approved. --Ruthven (msg) 22:59, 15 March 2018 (UTC)

Photo toujours refusée

Bonjour, depuis début janvier je tente de mettre une photo d'un auteur de notre maison d'édition et chaque fois c'est refusé ou retiré par n'importe qui en disant qu'on viole les droits d'auteurs. Alors que de 1 - j'ai fait envoyer le fichier de la photographe par la photographe elle-même (avec le courriel direct pour demander une licence) pour créer une licence dans les règles et que nous n'avons jamais eu de retour de personne. 2- je tente sans succès, malgré l'accord et l'approbation de la photographe de mettre cette photo et c'est toujours impossible, plus d'un mois après la première requête. Est-ce que c'est possible de me laisser publier la photo svp, l'auteur et nous-mêmes aimerions avoir une photo à jour et libérée de droits sur la page. Il me semble que c'est simple à comprendre et que ce n'est pas "criminel". Merci de m'expliquer pourquoi ça ne fonctionne jamais.

Je parle de cette page: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Goudreault

J'en suis à ma quatrième discussion sur le sujet. Oui, j'ai suivi toutes les étapes et fait les demandes de licences comme il se doit, mais on me refuse toujours l'upload de la photo. Est-ce que quelqu'un peut véritablement m'aider, ici?

Merci

Validation

Hello,

I recently uploaded several images in Category:Fred Coppula and its parent category Category:Films by Fred Coppula. I was told that the otrs authorization had been sent, but so far they haven't been validated. Could you please confirm that the mail has been received ? Thanks. JJ Georges (talk) 14:44, 5 February 2018 (UTC)

@JJ Georges: Yes, the email message in French, originally assigned 2018013110009059, was filed into Ticket:2017062410003963, now open. Sorry for the delay.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 16:34, 5 February 2018 (UTC)

@Jeff G.: thanks, and no problem. Is there anything wrong with the permission ? JJ Georges (talk) 08:51, 7 February 2018 (UTC)

@JJ Georges: I have a question about it. I see that https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Tony_Carrera_Maman_ou_papa.png for example has "author=Max Antoine pour Fred Coppula prod." and "{{self|author=Fred Coppula prod|cc-by-sa-4.0}}". Can you please specify how Fred Coppula prod. owns the copyright, or at least owns the right to license?   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 11:31, 7 February 2018 (UTC)

@Jeff G.: sure. Fred Coppula is a director and producer, and "Fred Coppula prod" is his company, which owns the copyright and the right to license for all the images. The images include stills from film that he has directed and produced, or just produced. In either case, his company owns the rights. "Max Antoine" is the director of some of the films - hence it seemed only fair to credit him - but not the copyright owner. There are a few other files in that case which have already been validated, like this one. JJ Georges (talk) 13:21, 7 February 2018 (UTC)

@JJ Georges: Thank you. I would expand it to just "Fred Coppula Productions" with no mention of cameraperson, cinematographer, director, or producer.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 14:02, 7 February 2018 (UTC)

@Jeff G.: I just moved the mention of the director in the file descriptions, and I left "Fred Coppula prod." as the sole author just as I had done for the previous files. Therefore, the description is identical in all files and we avoid confusion about the copyright owner. Is that ok for you ? JJ Georges (talk) 14:28, 7 February 2018 (UTC)

@JJ Georges: Yes, thanks. I replied to the ticket.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 14:35, 7 February 2018 (UTC)

@Jeff G.: ok, thanks. Does that mean everything is ok for the validation ? (sorry I'm asking, but I'm not quite sure I understand all the steps) JJ Georges (talk) 16:10, 7 February 2018 (UTC)

@JJ Georges: Not until tomorrow UTC at the earliest.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 18:46, 7 February 2018 (UTC)

@Jeff G.: Hello, sorry to bother you again. I notice that the images have not yet been validated, while others that I posted two days ago have already been. I'd just like to know if there is anything wrong and if I can do anything to fix it. Thanks, JJ Georges (talk) 08:20, 12 February 2018 (UTC)

@JJ Georges: I am waiting for an email reply.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 00:48, 13 February 2018 (UTC)

@Jeff G.: an email reply from whom, and about what ? (sorry, I'm a bit at loss with the details of the procedure) JJ Georges (talk) 09:08, 13 February 2018 (UTC)

@JJ Georges: from the copyright holder, about permission. I'm sorry for being obtuse, but the WMF Privacy Policy won't let me write more.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 14:21, 13 February 2018 (UTC)

@Jeff G.: oh dear, I'm afraid this won't work out. I never got more than very short answers from the copyright holder, who merely sent back to commons the authorization form that I had prepared for him. He did exactly that for the images we validated in June 2017, like this one. If you ask for any extra effort from him I'm not sure he'll bother.

Is it the image depicting him that poses a problem ? It's his "official" picture so I guess Studio Harcourt just made it at his request and he bought the rights to the image. The other pictures are just stills from films that he produced, like the previous ones.

If that is the problem, I'm not sure he'll ever bother to scan the contract that proves he owns the rights to his own photo. So you might as well not validate the photo depicting him and just validate the film stills... :( JJ Georges (talk) 15:25, 13 February 2018 (UTC)

@JJ Georges: Would you please document that info in the current ticket (including old ticket numbers and email addresses), by adding the following to the subject bar of the email: [Ticket#: 2017062410003963]?   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 15:45, 13 February 2018 (UTC)

@Jeff G.: excuse me, but I'm afraid I don't understand. I don't have access to the OTRS tickets. What should I exactly do and where ? Do you want me to send an email confirming that the copyright holder is the same person who validated the previous images ? Or do you want me to write it here ? JJ Georges (talk) 16:06, 13 February 2018 (UTC)

Do we ask for permission when the author mentioned in description table is different from the one mentioned in EXIF data? For example, please see File:Александѫр Николов.jpg where the uploader is User:Mayakyt, the author in description table is Georgi Bozhanov, and the author and copyright holder is Ivelin Metodiev according to EXIF data.

Pictures at Category:Pictures from Oberwolfach Photo Collection (Bergman)

• ticket:2008042410024381
• ticket:2008120710003465

Pictures at Category:Pictures from Oberwolfach Photo Collection (Bergman) are in high resolution, but I'm uncertain about whether that's what either the MFO or the copyright holder wanted. Moreover, some of them look enlarged and noisy and pixelated, like File:Blum lenore.jpg. The MFO gave me small image of File:Maryam Mirzakhani in Seoul 2014.jpg since the source doesn't say "Copyright:MFO". I believe that the MFO would give us smaller-rez versions of the pictures taken by Bergman; they aren't marked "Copyright:MFO" as well. However, I'm uncertain. Can the tickets be verified to know what desired resolution the author and/or the MFO want us to use? If not, shall the MFO or the author be contacted? George Ho (talk) 00:47, 11 February 2018 (UTC)

Bonjour, après la suppression de mes photos sur wikicommons puis l'envoi d'un mail à permissions-fr@wikimedia.org, il semble y avoir toujours un problème avec mes photos qui sont susceptibles de disparaître d'ici 30 jours.

File:Brainstorming at Starlab in 2001.jpg

Is the OTRS tag on File:Brainstorming at Starlab in 2001.jpg valid for the image? It came up as a Bad Flickr author through Flickr review, so I want to check.Elisfkc (talk) 16:38, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

2 new Bollywood-like templates

Today a new user created the 2 Bollywood-like templates

• {{Cc-by-3.0-BEHINDWOODS}}
• {{Cc-by-3.0-Emirates 24/7}}

which are in the cat "Custom license tags with OTRS permission", but don't carry any ticket number. As the website behindwoods.com carries the warning "All photos and videos posted on Behindwoods.com are only for promoting movies, celebrities and technicians. Those materials are published for general viewing and are strictly not resold or distributed." and emirates247.com states "Copyright © 2018. Dubai Media Incorporated. All rights reserved.", I doubt the legitimacy of these templates. Could you check whether there is any permission related to these sites? --Túrelio (talk) 11:39, 5 February 2018 (UTC)

@Túrelio: Considering behindwoods.com, I have found only one good permission Ticket:2015051010011128, for one file on behindwoods.com. If there were a good blanket permission before that, we would already have such a template. More later...   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 16:53, 5 February 2018 (UTC)

@Túrelio: Considering emirates247.com, I have found no permission tickets for files on emirates247.com. Thus, I conclude that those illegitimate templates should be removed and Mohammedjaseem66 should be prevented from making similar ones.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 00:38, 6 February 2018 (UTC)

Captive elephants taken by N. A. Naseer

One of my friend in Malayalam Wikipedia informed me that three photos of captive elephants taken by N. A. Naseer were deleted from the Malayalam Wikipedia page. Upon inspecting that page i found the files were deleted by you. They are File:Elephants of Kerala L12 (2).jpg, File:Elephants of Kerala L13 (2).jpg and File:Elephants of Kerala L14 (2).jpg. They are from the category, Category:Photographs of captive elephants taken by N. A. Naseer and I can see a similarly named one still existing with a OTRS ticket #2017030110015374. Could you check and let me know what the missing information is? Pinging the uploader, the ML Wiki editor and the only admin from Malayalam Wikipedia too for any further inputs.

One more issue I came to notice is that OTRS ticket# in both Category:Photographs by Joseph Lazer and Category:Photographs by N. A. Naseer are same in most files (#2013082110009341). So my assumption is that 1. either, there is a mistake in ticket# entered, 2. or, mails from both parties got merged. Naseer's mail ID is very well known that you can see in the license tag.

File:Schwatka Note.jpg

Can anyone tell me whether copyright applies to letter written and signed by a then-US Army Lieutenant? Either {{PD-USGov}} applies, or probably it's still copyrighted when it was first published in 1995 (per chart). Moreover, can ticket:2018010710000381 be evaluated please? Thanks. George Ho (talk) 05:14, 1 March 2018 (UTC)

IPA charts

Regarding File:IPA2005 3000px.png: Are all IPA charts free, or just those from 2005 onwards? Does the permission in Ticket:2012071010000641 mention the version(s) of the IPA chart one is allowed to use? There are IPA charts from 1932, 1951 and 1979 uploaded locally on English Wikipedia, and I wonder if they could be safely copied to Commons without us making judgments on whether they meet the threshold of originality.

OTRS ticket:2011011410009399

I'm wondering if a some OTRS volunteers would mind taking a look at Ticket:2011011410009399 and see if it can be extended to cover Commons:Deletion requests/File:British Columbia Yellowhead Highway 16 3.png. As far as I can tell, only one person commenting in the DR can see the actual ticket, and he has expressed some reservations about it. The others commenting on it (including myself) can only speculate as whether it covers all Yellowhead shield road signs. Since there are quite a number of files uploading locally to English Wilkipedia as non-free content which likely be affected by this DR's outcome, it would be helpful if a strong consensus either way (particularly about the OTRS ticket) is established. FWIW, if the ticket can be extended to cover these other files, then that's fine with me; the DR can be closed as "keep", though I think the file's licensing would need to tweaked to reflect that it is a derivative of the original file and covered by the ticket and not 100% "own work", but that's just "paperwork" so to speak. -- Marchjuly (talk) 00:23, 26 January 2018 (UTC)

@Marchjuly: My opinion at that DR was as an OTRS volunteer member who had read the ticket. Yes, it's a grandfathered old ticket, but it does apply.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 04:51, 26 January 2018 (UTC)

new Roger Puta scans.

Marty Bernard seems to have scanned more of Roger Puta's photos. These were originally uploaded using OTRS ticket #2016020210001676. I don't have access to see that this permission was only for that first batch of scans or for all future scans. I've uploaded this photo, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:A_Roger_Puta_Photograph_(25360690290).jpg from the batch scanned in 2017 and uploaded to flickr.

Should we ask for evidence of permission?

Should we tag a file with {{Npd}} when the highest resolution version of the image has been uploaded to Commons, but only lower resolution versions of the same image have been previously published elsewhere? For instance, look at File:СпиридоноваАнастасия.jpg which has a resolution of 5,120 × 3,413. While the picture has been available on the web since at least 2014 [2], the highest resolution version of the image that I could find on the web is here with a resolution of 1360 × 970. How should we normally deal with such cases? Thank you 4nn1l2 (talk) 16:10, 30 March 2018 (UTC)

Hi, More than the resolution, the user upload history should indicate what to do. Here it is the sole upload of this user, so quite doubtful. Regards, Yann (talk) 18:05, 30 March 2018 (UTC)

Bonjour AntonierCH,

Les règles de l'ORTS protègent parfaitement le droit d'auteur et ne sont jamais à remettre en cause. Cependant j'ai depuis quelques mois beaucoup de mal à comprendre leur application.

Ainsi pour File:Île du Levant. Nature.jpg https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:%C3%8Ele_du_Levant._Nature.jpg j'ai transmis une autorisation avec licence établie en pdf par l'auteur vérifiable sur une adresse web. Ce dernier (Michel Guinard) a néanmoins du répondre à une demande OTRS (ce qui l'a un rien agacé...

Pour File:Île du Levant. Phare du Titan.jpg https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:%C3%8Ele_du_Levant._Phare_du_Titan.jpg même démarche de transmission en pdf par l'auteur (Olivier Hoarau) [il s'agit du meme auteur que pour les fichiers suivants].

Puis lui est demandé des autorisations et des licences pour une série de clichés. Ce qu'il accorde très rapidement :

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:%C3%8Ele_du_Levant._Castelas._Ruines_1.jpg
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:%C3%8Ele_du_Levant._Castelas._Ruines_2.jpg
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:%C3%8Ele_du_Levant._Castelas._Ruines_3.jpg
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:%C3%8Ele_du_Levant._S%C3%A9maphore_du_Titan_2.jpg
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:%C3%8Ele_du_Levant._Tour_du_Titan._Ruine.jpg

par mail qui vous sont transmis mais qui sont remis en cause ?

La procédure est pourtant la même que :

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Grotte_des_Eymards._Lans-en-Vercors._1.jpg
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Grotte_des_Eymards._Lans-en-Vercors._2.jpg
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Grotte_des_Eymards._Lans-en-Vercors._3.jpg
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Grotte_des_Eymards._Lans-en-Vercors._4.jpg

En résumé que faire ?
Rechercher des clichés est difficiles car identifier les auteurs est ardu, trouver comment les contacter difficile et parfois pour une raison qui est leur droit l'absence de réponse ou le refus est acté.

Merci de tout ce que vous faites pour l'OTRS mais essayez d'être clair dans vos souhaits. Remettez si nécessaire la page de demande à jour sur Commons.

Cordialement. 6PO

Bonjour 6PO,

La raison principale est qu'il y a beaucoup de retard dans le traitement des autorisations. Désolé. Cordialement, Yann (talk) 13:17, 11 March 2018 (UTC)

Bonjour 6PO, pourrais-tu me rappeler le numéro de ticket pour que j'expédie cela ? Effectivement, notre backlog est a plus d'une centaine de jours et la qualité et rapidité du traitement (surtout si un suivi est nécessaire faute d'informations incomplètes ou insuffisantes par exemple) peut laisser à désirer. --AntonierCH ^(d) 14:28, 11 March 2018 (UTC)

Bonjour --AntonierCH, je retrouve dans mes archives : Ticket#2018012510011852 . Est-ce bien cela ? Merci pour tout ce travail et Cordialement. 6PO (talk) 14:38, 11 March 2018 (UTC)

6PO : Ce courriel a reçu une réponse. Nous avons demandé à l'auteur de nous confirmer que l'autorisation était authentique (vous êtes en copie du courriel). A ce jour, il ne semble pas qu'il nous ait répondu. --AntonierCH ^(d) 15:41, 11 March 2018 (UTC)

Bonjour AntonierCH, en absence de réponse, pour une question qu'il ne juge peut-être pas prioritaire puisque qu'il a déjà donné son autorisation, l'OTRS peut-t-elle reformuler sa demande ? Cordialement. 6PO (talk) 15:47, 11 March 2018 (UTC)

Comme expliqué précédemment, nous sommes surchargés et n'avons pas le temps de faire de multiples relances. La procédure de base est simple, c'est l'auteur qui devrait nous contacter directement. Dans le cas présent, il s'agit d'oeuvres pour lesquels ont peut s'attendre à un retour sur ses dires de l'artiste et il me semble important qu'il nous confirme l'existence d'une telle autorisation. Exceptionnellement, je viens de le relancer. --AntonierCH ^(d) 15:51, 11 March 2018 (UTC)

Bonjour AntonierCH, merci de cette démarche à la laquelle l'auteur (Olivier Hoarau) a accepté de vous répondre directement ainsi qu'en témoigne le mail du dim. 11/03/2018 17:13, avec le numéro de Ticket#2018012510011852, pour lequel il m'a mis en copie (et que je vous ai néanmoins aussi transmis). Merci pour tout ce travail qui va permettre une restauration.--Cordialement. 6PO (talk) 17:09, 11 March 2018 (UTC)

Bonjour AntonierCH, vraiment un grand merci d'avoir permis ces restaurations. Toutefois je n'ose plus les remettre sur Wikipedia France car ells ne possèdent pas de ticket OTRS. Or, il s'agit du seul élément qui manque avant que l'île du Levant passe au vote AdQ. Quelle démarche dois-je effectuer ? Merci de me conseiller et de votre disponibilité.

Art work photo

Hello, I uploaded photo of a painting of mine, but I could not find the right "licence" to contribute to it, so it has been deleted. Could you please help me: basically I want to show the photo of my art only for reference, academic, or journalistic use. I do not want to give permission for commercial users to use the photo of my painting. In this case, WHICH LICENSE number should I contribute to it please? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lidasher (talk • contribs) 16:45, 18 February 2018 (UTC)

Hello LX, yes I have just read the section on "free enough" which states that the works have to be available to also commercial users. So yes I am afraid I cannot allow them on Wikipedia.

Mutmaßliche Bilderserie, teilweise mit OTRS-Freigabe, teilweise ohne

Needs probably a German speaking OTRS member, hence not in English:

Es gibt einige Bilder des Fotografen Christian Nielinger, die 2008 im Berliner Konzerthaus entstanden sind. Zum Teil besitzen sie eine OTRS-Freigabe, bei einigen fehlt diese aber. Es wäre schön, wenn ein Berechtigter einmal nachsehen könnte, ob die Freigaben individuell sind oder auf die Bilder mit den fehlenden Freigaben erweitert werden könnten.

• mit Freigabe:
  • File:Zagrosek Lothar 3 lachend klein DSC 4288 Christian Nielinger.jpeg
  • File:Zagrosek Lothar 5 rot klein KON 8495 Christian Nielinger.jpeg
  • File:Zagrosek Lothar 6 rot klein KON 8723 Christian Nielinger.jpeg
  • File:Konzerthausorchester Berlin im Großen Saal 03-2008 klein KON 8927 Christian Nielinger.jpeg
• ohne Freigabe, es steht nur in der Dateibeschreibung „Das Foto ist vom Konzerthaus Berlin freigegeben, Lizenz liegt vor“ (einige Bilder müssten mMn umbenannt werden, da nichtssagend im Sinne von Commons:Dateibenennung):
  • File:DSC 3694 Vermietung Beethoven-Saal ©Christian Nielinger.jpg
  • File:DSC 3823 Rundgänge ©Christian Nielinger.jpg
  • File:DSC 3835 Vermietung GS ©Christian Nielinger.jpg
  • File:DSC 4868 Vermietung KS ©Christian Nielinger.jpg
  • File:KON 7518 Vermietung Weber-Saal ©Christian Nielinger.jpg

Der Nutzer/die Nutzerin, der/die das hochgeladen hat, war anscheinend nur dafür in Commons aktiv, seitdem nie wieder. — Speravir – 17:29, 9 April 2018 (UTC)

DR auf alle Dateien. Schon VFC gibt genügend Löschgründe. Hystrix (talk) 19:38, 11 April 2018 (UTC)

Für die ersten drei liegen Freigaben durch den Fotografen Christian Nielinger vor, die sich jeweils auf genau ein Bild beziehen. Bei File:Konzerthausorchester Berlin im Großen Saal 03-2008 klein KON 8927 Christian Nielinger.jpeg sehe ich eine Freigabe durch das Konzerthaus Berlin, in der der Fotograf jedoch nicht genannt wird. Mich irritiert hier, dass der Name des Fotografen Christian Nielinger im Dateinamen auftaucht. Ob dies ein Versehen ist oder ob er der Fotograf ist, bleibt für mich hier unklar. Das zugehörige Ticket (ticket:2008062010024161) bezieht sich auch noch auf File:Lothar Zagrosek dirigiert Orfeo ed Euridice Konzerthaus Berlin © Bernd Uhlig.jpeg, wo der Fotograf genannt ist. Letzteres kommt auch (anders als die anderen Bilder) mit EXIF-Daten, die die Urheberschaft bestätigen. Dann habe ich weiter nach Tickets gesucht und stieß dabei auf ticket:2008052910016371, in dem Christian Nielinger dem Konzerthaus Berlin eine Liste von freigegebenen Bildern nennt, darunter ist auch File:Konzerthausorchester Berlin im Großen Saal 03-2008 klein KON 8927 Christian Nielinger.jpeg. Im übrigen finden sich noch redundante Freigaben zu den ersten drei Bildern. Für die zweite Gruppe ohne Freigabe habe ich keine zugehörigen Tickets finden können. --AFBorchert (talk) 22:09, 11 April 2018 (UTC)

Ich habe für die Kandidaten ohne Freigabe einen Löschantrag gestellt. Das betrifft nicht nur die oben genannten, sondern alle hochgeladenen Fotos von Wilmine. --AFBorchert (talk) 22:29, 11 April 2018 (UTC)

Danke (auch für die weitere Recherche), auch wenn es schade um die Bilder ist, aber hilft ja nix, wenn die angebliche Freigabe nicht übersandt wurde. — Speravir – 22:43, 11 April 2018 (UTC)

Request for restore of deleted collections of images

Dear OTRS Team,

I am the Wikipedian in Residence at Goge Africa. The organisation agreed to partner with my Community, Wikimedia UG Nigeria to contributes African-cultural baased contents to Wikimedia commons for free use.

Initially, the uploads were made with the intention to submit permission request, which led to deletion of all the contents from Category: Wikipedian in Residence at Goge Africa See link here

Now, we have obtained the permission request see it below:

I will be glad if all the contents are restored Olaniyan Olushola (talk) 07:39, 13 April 2018 (UTC)

@Olaniyan Olushola: Have you submitted that document to OTRS? --Ruthven (msg) 09:23, 13 April 2018 (UTC)

Jeff According to Oshra herself, it was taken by a firend (who passed away a long time ago) and was given to her and everyone can use it since there are no rights. Heblit16 (talk) 16:33, 21 January 2018 (UTC)

@Heblit16: It is likely that the rights of the friend passed to the friend's heirs or the state. Without permission from them, or documentation that the friend died more than 50-70 years ago per COM:CRT#Israel, we must apply COM:PRP, assume the heirs or state still hold those rights, and delete these photos.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 17:57, 21 January 2018 (UTC)

Jeff, it was just a friend taking it for Oshra and gave it to her, if you will search online you will see the images also appear on http://archive.batsheva.co.il/heb/repertoire.php?act=photos&id=29. I am sire I can get them to approve as well if needed. The rights were never claimed and the friend gave Osra the negatives even... Heblit16 (talk) 12:07, 22 January 2018 (UTC)

Jeff, I told Oshra about the whole thing and she contacted the man who took the pictuers's son. Which approval is needed? he is willing to help since he also knows it was given to her for by his father... please let me know asap since he lives in the us. thanks, Heblit16 (talk) 08:41, 23 January 2018 (UTC)

@Heblit16: Please have him email us, copy you, and add the following to the subject bar of the email message: [Ticket#: 2018010910007254].

File:Perjalanan Hidup Saya.pdf -- copyright holder email

The copyright holder (son of author) has sent an email verifying that File:Perjalanan Hidup Saya.pdf is released under CC0 license. Can anyone verify? Also, the book does not have information regarding who made the book cover (pages 1-2, page 2 is the back cover which in turn contains the blurb which I regard as part of the book), will it be redacted from the uploaded file? _{— Aumars (talk) 19:48, 25 February 2018 (UTC)}

•  Oppose If a free license has been sent to OTRS, then the image will be restored automatically when and if the e-mail 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 24 days before the e-mail is processed and the image is restored.

If the message was sent to the English language version of OTRS and the e-mail 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} 10:10, 26 February 2018 (UTC)

That didn't answer my question, so I'll assume leaving the first two pages of the PDF should be fine. Ticket number is Ticket:2018022510004028, the email registered the file as "Perjalanan_Hidup_Saya.pdf" although the real uploaded file doesn't contain underscores. I don't think the automated system will realise that, it would be great if an admin could do it manually for a minute. Thanks in advance. _{— Aumars (talk) 10:31, 27 February 2018 (UTC)}

Underscores and spaces are equivalent in MediaWiki page names. In the visible form spaces are shown whereas respective canonical URLs contain underscores instead. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 17:28, 28 February 2018 (UTC)

File:Save Cambodias Wildlife logo.jpg

Could an OTRS volunteer could quickly check the ticket for File:Save Cambodias Wildlife logo.jpg to make sure it's OK? The file was tagged with {{Npd}} and the uploader stated they were working on having an email sent in to OTRS. However, that was yesterday and the file has already been tagged with {{PermissionOTRS}} by Taketa. The edit sum which was left states "OTRS permission added by non-OTRS member", which is something I don't think I've seen before since I thought only OTRS volunteers could review permission's email, etc. Anyway, if everything is fine, then cool; however, OTRS verification generally seems to take more than a day in most cases, so I'm just checking on this to make sure. If there's a still problem, I'd like to let the uploader know so that can take steps to remedy it. -- Marchjuly (talk) 21:33, 28 March 2018 (UTC)

My global OTRS rights and access were removed today due to inactivity. However access has been restored immediately (and I decided to use it) [4]. An OTRS admin however still has to make a request to restore the global right, so it doesn't report an error on Commons [5]. All the best, Taketa (talk) 22:15, 28 March 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for clarifying things Taketa. Since you're back doing OTRS stuff, maybe the permission's email for this file could also cover File:Save Cambodia's Wildlife.jpg. -- Marchjuly (talk) 00:07, 29 March 2018 (UTC)

Hi Marchjuly, unfortunately the ticket only covers the logo. As I am not a commons admin I cannot see the deleted file, so I cannot say anything more on the matter. All the best, Taketa (talk) 00:27, 29 March 2018 (UTC)

@Marchjuly: It's the same logo. It's pointless to have two versions of the same file (even if the deleted version looks slightly better). --Ruthven (msg) 13:35, 31 March 2018 (UTC)

File:Shorwell helmet replica.jpg

Would someone please look to see if OTRS has been received for this file? It is needed as part of a featured article candidate (Shorwell helmet; discussion here), to replace a fair use image that came under question. Just got an email from the copyright holder, and he said he sent the required email (possibly in addition to the online form) eight days ago. Thanks, --Usernameunique (talk) 19:30, 3 April 2018 (UTC)

@Usernameunique: 8 days is kind of early, but I don't understand why he hasn't changed the license on Flickr. --Ruthven (msg) 20:21, 3 April 2018 (UTC)

Ruthven, that was my first suggestion too, but he doesn't remember his Flickr password, and they wouldn't allow him access back in. I understand that the backlog takes priority—I'm waiting on several dozen photographs from early February myself—but hope that to help a featured article candidacy an exception might be made. This image was uploaded during the FAC to replace an image where the fair use rationale was questioned. Thanks, --Usernameunique (talk) 21:06, 3 April 2018 (UTC)

@Usernameunique: I found their email: ticket:2018032610012971. Unfortunately, it appears the copyright holder used their personal email. We need them to use their official email that's listed on their website in order for us to verify that it's actually them. I've sent a reply outlining this. Mz7 (talk) 23:41, 12 April 2018 (UTC)

Thanks very much for looking into this, Mz7. Hopefully you get what you need. If it would help, I could also forward the email chain I have with the copyright holder; I emailed the official email address and received a response from a personal email address, so theoretically the chain can be used to connect the two. --Usernameunique (talk) 12:34, 14 April 2018 (UTC)

@Usernameunique: Heard back from them. The permission is now  confirmed. Mz7 (talk) 02:11, 16 April 2018 (UTC)

Interactive release generator

Could someone please let me know how long it normally takes for a file to be updated when a copyright holder uses this tool? A representative for the copyright holder of File:Gevninge helmet fragment - 150x105.png told me he "filled out the permission form" on 12 April, which I took to mean him using the online tool (which is what I linked him to), but the permission has not yet been acknowledged.

Never having used the interactive release generator myself, I'm a bit confused by the process. I've asked people to use it three times (also with File:Shorwell helmet replica.jpg and File:William Chaney.jpg), but in only one of those cases (William Chaney) did it work quickly. Is there also an email component to the tool, or something that requires a manual step by an OTRS volunteer? Thanks, --Usernameunique (talk) 20:33, 16 April 2018 (UTC)

@Usernameunique: Items are not reviewed in the order they are received. We try but we are all volunteers and we try to get through them as quickly and efficiently as we can. The backlog current stretches to 57 days but that doesn't mean that it will take that long. The entire process is done via email and the tool directs you to email the form once you get to that step (or automatically through your preferred email application). As long as there is {{subst:OP}} on the file information page in question the image will be fine. --Majora (talk) 20:38, 16 April 2018 (UTC)

Majora, thanks for clearing that up. I hadn't realized that there is an email component of the form that still requires manual review; perhaps because of the extremely fast turnaround (5 hours) the first time it was used (the William Chaney file), I thought it was an automated process, and therefore did not queue the files with the rest of the backlog. Happy to sit patiently now that I know how it works. --Usernameunique (talk) 20:51, 16 April 2018 (UTC)

Do I have to worry?

Some items I uploaded like File:Tự Đức Thông Bảo (嗣德通寶) - Art-Hanoi 06.jpg are in the category Category:Media contributed by Art Hanoi, but it's been a while and several individual media files 📁 still don't have this OTRS ticket mentioned on them, does this mean that they'll first get deleted after 30 (thirty) days and will then be restored? Or will they simply get the ticket later as there's a huge backlog? I am asking this as I am writing about Vietnamese cash coins on Wikipedia and don't want the CommonsDelinker to remove several images with a valid ticket attached to them. --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 01:30, 18 April 2018 (UTC)

If you don't indicate to the OTRS agents that you've uploaded new files, it is difficult that the permission template appears by itself. We've not implemented the second sight in the toolsuite (but we're working on it). Ruthven (msg) 06:34, 19 April 2018 (UTC)

Thank you, at least now I know what to do when I'll import the University of California at Santa Barbara images from Drm luke Roberts later, thank you very much for all your hard work. To my understanding first upload, and then tell the agent that you've uploaded the files, I will do that with all the scans from Dr. Luke Roberts the moment that that OTRS ticket 🎟 has been processed, have a nice day.

@Donald Trung: Also notice that the whole category has a OTRS permission confimed, so maybe it's not necessary to add single permissions to the files, as long as the exact source URL is specified. Cheers --Ruthven (msg) 08:37, 19 April 2018 (UTC)

I see that the image File:Lyombe Eko and Roy Bennett 2011.jpg was deleted. However, the copyright holder told me that the email statement was sent on or around February 10–12, 2018.

Special:Contributions/Osmaromneto

Would you mind expediting the check for these images, as I suspect that they are copyright violations and that the uploader is simply abusing the {{OTRS pending}} tag to delay deletion? People who have obtained permission to publish photos under a Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike from the copyright holder would typically know the identity of the author whom they're legally obliged to credit and would typically not have to download the photos from Google Images. Thanks, —LX (talk, contribs) 12:07, 14 April 2018 (UTC)

Wouldn't this better fit at the administrators' noticeboard? And did you explain to them when to use the OTRS pending template? Maybe they are not aware that the template doesn't automatically invite the copyright holder to release the image, but a stern warning and an explanation of how both Wikimedia Commons and the OTRS works would be in place. --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (Talk 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 12:16, 14 April 2018 (UTC)

It seems everywhere I post on Commons these days, somebody wants me to use another venue... This is the appropriate place to ask OTRS volunteers to check if there is any merit to the uploader's claims that "An email containing details of the permission for this file has been sent in accordance with Commons:OTRS." Administrators who don't have access to OTRS cannot check that. I also don't see why anyone would think that saying that a permission from the copyright holder has already been sent would automatically figure out who the copyright holder is and ask them to do stuff which should have already been done before uploading. —LX (talk, contribs) 12:38, 14 April 2018 (UTC)

Those are valid points as I had assumed that the uploader may have simply used it as a tactic to avoid deletion, I will ping the uploader now: @Osmaromneto: so they can respond and explain their position. Indeed the AN is probably better for more obvious copyright violators and it's entirely possible that Osmaromneto is a good faith user. --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (Talk 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 13:51, 14 April 2018 (UTC)|

I have tagged 2 of them as dups of File:Stellar kpop group 2017.jpg. Of course, there were no matching OTRS tickets found.

User:Tttom aka User:TTThom

This user identified himself as the artist Tom Loback (see also Category:Drawings by Tom Loback). In 2010 I asked him at en.wiki to send a permissions email to Commons, and he replied that he would do so. Did OTRS ever get a mail confirming this user's identy? I'm asking because in the course of a Wikipedia content discussion it turned out that Loback died apparently in March 2015 [6]. This would coincide with the absence of User:Tttom since January 2015. De728631 (talk) 01:11, 23 April 2018 (UTC)

@De728631: Yes, the author wrote in 2010 with ticket:2010081410001091 putting 17 of his artworks under GNU Free Documentation License, but the OTRS agent wasn't able to check his identity at the time. I reckon that now knowing the background, we can accept the release. Any thoughts? --Ruthven (msg) 09:35, 23 April 2018 (UTC)

Even better, with a brief research on Google, it was possible to confirm the permission (being an OTRS agent is a little like being a detective). Adding OTRS template to the authorised images. --Ruthven (msg) 10:29, 23 April 2018 (UTC)

Ticket:2018032610007951

I'm working with Memorial Sloan Kettering and Juliana Thomas (the photographer of the image in question) to upload this photo to Commons for use on W:José Baselga. However, I noticed that another copy of this image was previously uploaded incorrectly, without proper permissions here. I believe the original uploader was an MSK employee and unfamiliar with the proper protocols, but is no longer responsible for anything Wikimedia-related. Would it be best to update that file with the proper permissions, or re-upload this photo and tag it with this ticket number for review?--FacultiesIntact (talk) 18:32, 16 April 2018 (UTC)

Use of image

Hi,

I am trying to reuse an image under the commons creative license. I have read the guidance on the site and I am not requesting permission to use this image. However, I am trying to clarify some details. Under the wikimedia commons the image is free to use and reproduce as long as the image is attributed to the original source. However, the original source has requested a fee to reuse the image. This seems to be at odds with the wikimedia commons advice and the information for licensing listed on the page. Could you please review the accuracy of this or explain further? The file in question; https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Blausen_0723_Pelvis.png

Thank you — Preceding unsigned comment was added by 90.255.119.220 (talk) 16:30, 9 April 2018 (UTC)

Requesting a fee is not acceptable for us, nor compatible to the Creative Commons licenses we use. But here this file is released under CC BY 3.0, which allows to reuse, distribute, and modify it given that the original source/author is cited; which would be here: "Blausen.com staff (2014).

The OTRS is originally for it.wiki only, but then, files considered as PD-Italy have been uploaded as such (they were published on two Italian magazines between 1915 and 1935: "Museo Nazionale del Cinema" e "Museo Nazionale del Cinema - Bibliomediateca"), an consequently transferred to Commons.

Letter from Dr./Prof. Luke Roberts

Dr./Prof. Luke Roberts of the University of California at Santa Barbara told me that he had sent an electronic letter confirming that the images of his website can be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, I am just posting this here to confirm the ticket 🎟 so I can start importing the images from his personal website at the University of California at Santa Barbara. I will create the maintenance ⛑🏻 category Category:Media contributed by Dr. Luke Roberts (UCSB) in the meantime and request that an OTRS agent will add the appropriate OTRS ticket 🎟 to this category. --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (Talk 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 18:05, 21 March 2018 (UTC)

For informational purposes the OTRS ticket 🎟 number Dr./Prof. Luke Roberts received is Ticket:2018032110011865. --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (Talk 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 17:12, 22 March 2018 (UTC)

The ticket does not contain a free license permission. In case of photos of coins, only the photos which are freely licensed by authors may be stored in Wikimedia Commons. Ankry (talk) 06:34, 4 May 2018 (UTC)

Ah, alright J will contact the author again and ask him to give proper permission. --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 17:58, 9 May 2018 (UTC)

@Donald Trung: Please double check that he's the author of the shots. It seems that not all the files on his website are his own work, e.g. he cannot give us a release for a scan of an old book. --Ruthven (msg) 08:35, 10 May 2018 (UTC)

@Ruthven: indeed, nor does he have to because I uploaded those scans many months ago because they are in the public domain, they're made during the Tolugawa Shogunate and their copyrights have long expired both in Japan and elsewhere, I think that the older of the books is from the 1790's which if only scanned can't possibly be copyrighted no matter who made the scan. I'm not even sure if any Tokugawa Shogunate era (Edo Period) works can be considered copyrighted under current Japanese laws. He did confirm that he is the author of all other images on the websites, the images that aren't authored by Dr./Prof. Luke S. Roberts are PD-scans. --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 18:28, 10 May 2018 (UTC)

I would like to quote Dr./Prof. Luke Roberts from an e-mail 📧 he sent at 02:45 21 D. 03 M. 2018 A., as far as I know citing such a small piece is fair use and feel free to oversight this edit if it's not allowed but the quote is There are two pages for which you may not use the images:

• 1. * http://www.history.ucsb.edu/faculty/roberts/coins/Kosennedanstuke/index.html

These images I already uploaded at * Category:Shinpan kaisei, Kosen nedantsuke, Narabi ni bantsuki.

this page is a set of photographs of a book which I do not own. Therefore you may not use it in Wikimedia Commons 2. http://www.history.ucsb.edu/faculty/roberts/coins/manufacture.html this page uses photographs from a published book and I have no rights over the images. Therefore you may not use them in Wikimedia commons. Yours, Luke Roberts

And these at Category:Kokin kousei, Shinsen zeni kagami. So as far as I can tell the only images he can't give permission for are the ones we don't need permission for. PS if the ticket 🎟 gets processed please notify me on my talk page with the license template, I am very busy in real life right now and don't have much time to regularly check back. --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 18:39, 10 May 2018 (UTC)

Update: Dr./Prof. Luke S. Roberts confirmed with me that he has sent the appropriate permission license to the Wikimedia Commons OTRS team, I personally have no hurry in uploading these images as I still have a huge project on Wikipedia I need to finish first so in no way does any OTRS volunteer need to place this ticket above any other, just notify me on my talk page what template I should use for copyright © after this OTRS ticket has been fully processed. --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 14:23, 13 May 2018 (UTC)

@Donald Trung: The OTRS process has gone through. You can use {{East Asian Cash Coins}} when uploading (strictly limiting the uploads to Luke Shepherd Roberts' photos only, as specified in the template); the media files will be directly categorised in the (hidden) category "Media contributed by East Asian Cash Coins". --Ruthven (msg) 17:29, 14 May 2018 (UTC)

Bonjour, merci de votre réponse: @ Yann :, L'un des deux billet est: Ticket: 2018031610009057 le deuxième, je suis en attente mais celui-ci fut envoyé.

Tout deux sur la copie suivante: Commons: Email_templates / Consentement , l'affirmant céder ses droits en tant que modèle, l'autre en tant que photographe.

Je vous remercie de l'aide et espérons voir la situation se régler au plus vite. merci bien. Samuel ELBAZ. - Précédente commentaire non signé ajouté par Samuelelbaz ( discussion • contributions ) 13h13, 17 mars 2018 (UTC)

Symbole opposé vote.svg S'opposerCet utilisateur ne sait pas ou a choisi de ne pas partager tout l'historique de cette image. Le DR original était

Commons: Demandes de suppression / Fichier: JEAN-PASCAL HESSE.jpg (téléchargement de l'image par l' utilisateur: Jean-Pascal Hesse ) et ce fichier a été supprimé car l'image était apparue précédemment sur Facebook. Le même téléchargeur a ensuite téléchargé la même image que

Fichier: JEANPASCALHESSE.jpg Il a été supprimé en tant que recréation de contenu précédemment supprimé. Ensuite, Utilisateur: Samuelbaz a téléchargé la même image que

Fichier: JP.LHESSE.jpg et elle aussi a été supprimée en tant que récréation.

Si, au lieu de recharger le fichier sous les deuxième et troisième noms, les deux utilisateurs avaient fait une demande ici après la première suppression le 14 février, l' e-mail OTRS serait aujourd'hui à la tête de la file d'attente. Je ne vois aucune raison de récompenser la violation de nos règles en permettant à ce fichier de sauter la file d'attente à OTRS. Nous devrions le laisser attendre que la licence atteigne la tête de la file d'attente OTRS dans un mois ou deux. . Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) ( parle avec moi )

Jim , je pense que ces gens ont agi de bonne foi, mais ils sont assez confus au sujet du droit d'auteur et des exigences des Communes. De toute façon, nous n'avons pas (encore) la permission du photographe. Il semble qu'ils pensent d'abord que la permission doit être donnée par le sujet. La file d'attente OTRS en langue française était assez courte, mais elle a encore grossi. Nous pouvons fermer ceci jusqu'à ce qu'une permission arrive. Cordialement, Yann ( parler ) 06:06, 18 mars 2018 (UTC)

Jim , Yann . En effet, il ya eu plusieurs maladies de mon côté, la première image a été postée à ma demande par le modèle de la photo Jean-Pascal Hesse, celui-ci a été supprimé car il ne savait rien à wiki. La deuxième fois, il y a une erreur, elle a été tracée, ainsi que la troisième que j'ai eu l'effet remis au nom de * File: JP.LHESSE.jpg vu que le deuxième avait pas été bien chargé et espérant gagner du temps. Jim, je vous invite à bien regarder l'heure et le jour où la deuxième et la troisième sur l'été ont vu que vous aimez la précision, par ailleurs, j'ai demandé téléchargement Ainsi, après la publication pour la troisième fois pour cette photo, j'ai reçu un avertissement me définissant une semaine pour que la personne ayant les droits de la photos envoient un message à: permissions-commons@wikimedia.org Chose faite, et dans Jean-Pascal Hesse, et le photographe, Frédéric Goudon, ont souhaité un message affirmatif et acceptent les conditions de Wikipédia.

•  Oppose 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 24 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.

File:Vandeweerdt1.JPG

Can somebody clarify the license on File:Vandeweerdt1.JPG? I'm not sure if a) the artist Dirk Vandeweerdt and User:Wasily are supposed to be the same person, or if User:Wasily just took the photo. Also, b) is the public domain license correct? Thanks. --ghouston (talk) 04:50, 4 May 2018 (UTC)

File:AlanAmron.jpg and File:Original sticky notes invention drawings Amron 1973.png

Something is odd about the verified permission for these files. The photo was created by Edijs Pālens[7], while the drawing was supposedly created by Alan Amron. However, the uploader is attributed as the author of both files (under different usernames following a rename). Since the uploader can't be two persons at once, at least one of those attributions (which are legally required by the license and thus expected to be verified as part of the OTRS approval) would seem to be incorrect. —LX (talk, contribs) 09:31, 12 May 2018 (UTC)

Replacement for a not-too-flattering photo was send to OTRS

Commons:Help desk#Robert Dölle

Follow-up: User talk:Alexis Jazz#Robert Dölle profile pic

This is about Robert Dölle. (registered here under the same name, not mentioning on purpose) He has an article on dewiki: w:de:Robert Dölle with a photo that is completely legit, but not very flattering. We told him to give us a better photo.

He claims to have mailed a better photo to OTRS and he's really eager to see his photo replaced on dewiki and I can kind of understand that. I will take care of replacing the photo on wikis that use it, if somebody could look for his mail that would be great. I understand there is a queue, if he just has to wait in line I'll tell him, but I understand his wish to see it replaced as soon as possible. I don't know if he gave OTRS File:38 1509 galerie.jpg or another photo. - Alexis Jazz ^{ping plz} 12:31, 19 May 2018 (UTC)

Re: Ticket 2018041510000234

@Ruthven: and @Jcb: I was just notified a week ago that average response time is 76 days; File:Cami Bradley.jpg and File:The Sweeplings - Black Shoot-26.jpg have both been deleted for "No OTRS permission for 30 days". Can someone PLEASE help me resolve this? Thank you. ATS (talk) 01:40, 18 May 2018 (UTC)

@ATS: Please expect an answer around 25 June.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 02:01, 18 May 2018 (UTC)

@Jeff G.: appreciate the reply. Why, then, delete the files? ATS (talk)

@ATS: It's a good question. In reality we keep the files without permission for one month, approx. However, due to the lack of active OTRS agents, the answer time is longer. In any case do not worry, the file will be restored when the permission will be processed. Thanks --Ruthven (msg) 07:43, 18 May 2018 (UTC)

@ATS: In order to avoid deletion during pending OTRS operations, please ensure permission tickets issuing from the actual author and containing a permissible license have been submitted prior to, or at the time of, upload. We cannot keep files that depend on inadequate tickets around indefinitely in the hope that the surrounding questions eventually clear. As a rule of thumb, because volunteer time is stretched extremely thin and because volunteers are, well, volunteers, the realpolitik is that simple tickets with a straightforward story and one incoming email are given priority. Those that started with issues and have required a back-and-forth or two stand an unfortunate chance of being deleted before a volunteer can check to see whether the latest response has been adequate. Storkk (talk) 09:17, 23 May 2018 (UTC)

Thanks, Storkk. I did indeed wait until the email with the proper release was sent to Permissions, unaware that the prior back-and-forth might be somehow problematic. ATS (talk) 18:39, 23 May 2018 (UTC)

GLAM question

Hello. I'm handling an OTRS case for a particular Gallery. This is the summary:

• The gallery was created in memory of a deceased artist, by a relative.
• The relative wants to upload the paintings to Commons, and have an existing username.
• They have a gmail address, which is mentioned on the gallery website.

I'm going to instruct them to:

1. Upload the files to Commons
2. Send the OTRS email from that particular gmail address, to the permissions queue, quoting the file names.

Just want to confirm if I got the process right (since this is GLAM related)? Also, I don't have OTRS access, so will be pinging here for post-upload help :) Best regards, Rehman 14:31, 24 May 2018 (UTC)

@Rehman: It's fine. Just specify in the ticket that the Gallery inherited the copyright of the paintings via the relative. Then, when uploading, don't forget to add {{subst:OP}} in the file pages. Thanks --Ruthven (msg) 10:49, 27 May 2018 (UTC)

Thank you, Ruthven. Cheers, Rehman 23:28, 27 May 2018 (UTC)

Images from the website Rodnovery.ru

About one month ago I uploaded the following series of images from the website www.rodnovery.ru, with the permission of the website which I forwarded to OTRS. The ticket is #2018042710011656. At the same time, I asked the website's administrator, a lady named Anastasia, to send a permission herself. She should have sent the permission around 15 May. Please tag the images with the ticket associated to her permission, or with both the tickets for completeness.--Eckhardt Etheling (talk) 19:07, 30 May 2018 (UTC)

keine OTRS-Genehmigung trotz Bildfreigabe

Hallo, gestern wurde das Bild: „File:GfK Kaufkraft Deutschland 2018.jpg“ gelöscht, da angeblich keine OTRS-Genehmigung vorliegt. Ich verstehe das nicht, denn am 01.03.2018 hat die Rechteinhaberin eine Bildfreigabe an die Adresse permissions-commons-de@wikimedia.org gesendet. Eine Kopie dieser E-Mail liegt mir vor. Viele Grüße JoeHard (talk) 18:06, 14 May 2018 (UTC)

JoeHard, ich verstehe den Ärger. Aber die OTRS-Bearbeiter machen das ehrenamtlich und sind einfach zu wenige. Deshalb gibt es derzeit einen Bearbeitungsrückstand von mehr als 60 Tagen. --Túrelio (talk) 18:28, 14 May 2018 (UTC)

Hallo Túrelio, danke für die Info. Was passiert denn, wenn nun irgendwann die E-Mail vom OTRS-Team bearbeitet wird, und das Bild wurde aber schon gelöscht? Ich würde auch dort mitarbeiten, wenn noch Leute gebraucht werden. Wo muss ich mich dafür melden? Viele Grüße JoeHard (talk) 06:57, 15 May 2018 (UTC)

"Gelöscht" bedeutet auf Commons und Wikipedia eigentlich fast nichts, außer dass ein bestimmtes Bit gesetzt wird; d.h. die Datei liegt noch auf den Servern. Da die meisten OTRS-Bearbeiter auch Admins sind, können sie die Datei dann selbst wiederherstellen; andernfalls bitten sie einfach einen Admin darum; das ist eine Kleinigkeit. Die Prüfung der Genehmigung ist aufwendiger und erfordert Erfahrung. Falls du interessiert bist, dabei mitzumachen, könntest du dich z.B. an User:Krd wenden. --Túrelio (talk) 07:21, 15 May 2018 (UTC)

Photographer is old and unable to send an OTRS email

Hello team. I am in touch with a journalist (Karen) who is the daughter of the notorious underworld figure Terence Hogan (1931-1995). She wants to upload a bunch of old photos (1950s-1960s) of late Terence taken by her stepmom Roz (Terence's wife/secretary), which were given to Karen as a birthday gift. Roz has verbally agreed to Karen, and released the rights to Karen to use the photos on Wikipedia/Commons.

But Roz is in her late 80s and doesn't have an email to proceed with OTRS. Any advise on how to go about with this? I'm only referring to photos taken by Roz, not used anywhere else, with rights transferred to Karen. There are some which were used elsewhere, but that will be handled separately. Thanks in advance. Rehman 02:43, 16 May 2018 (UTC)

@Rehman: I don't know if anyone will enjoy the bureaucracy, but Karen could print the mail template and ask Roz to sign it. (with a pen, nothing digital) Karen could scan/photograph that.

It's legally actually more reliable than email. - Alexis Jazz 02:53, 16 May 2018 (UTC)

Great! She actually suggested that. Let me take that route then. Thanks for the swift response. Cheers, Rehman 03:13, 16 May 2018 (UTC)

@Rehman: please note I am not an OTRS volunteer or have any special status. Just passing by. - Alexis Jazz ^{ping plz} 04:28, 16 May 2018 (UTC)

@Rehman: the usual rule of thumb is that at a minimum we require the contact information for the copyright holder. If that is unavailable for Roz, perhaps the best would be to sign a transfer of copyright, rather than a release of rights... but the difference is marginal. Storkk (talk) 09:04, 16 May 2018 (UTC)

Yes makes sense. I would probably suggest another sentence stating that, on the OTRS email template. Thank you, Storkk. Rehman 09:46, 16 May 2018 (UTC)

Ticket:2009051410028286 - Request for existing approval checking

Could someone here be so nice to look at existing written permission under ticket:2009051410028286?. It was registered by OTRS member Polimerek at 21:02, 14 May 2009 and is visible at this plwiki page. Its in Polish: "Jest zgoda na użycie tekstów ze strony http://www.feta.pl/"; in English it mean "There is approval for using texts from page http://www.feta.pl/". My questions are:

• Is this permission (2009) still valid, and in what kind of ranges?
• Is this permission binding on that 1 mentioned article in plwiki and concerns texts imported from www.feta.pl only, or
• Is this permission valid also for other materials (pictures, video clips or so) from mentioned website and/or by disposal of the same, mentioned in permission copyright holder?

At the moment there is a problem with 3 files only, but I expect many more soon, so I must know if existing permission is enough, or should I inform the copyright holder about need of separate permission/s at every upload? Thanks in advice, --Jasc PL (talk) 15:42, 2 April 2018 (UTC)

@Jasc PL: Sorry, the permission is only for text.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 16:02, 2 April 2018 (UTC)

Many thanks @Jeff G.: for your so fast answer, you are great :). If I good understand, we have an unlimited approval for all texts from their website? So, what content should have their next approval - for unlimited multimedia? :) --Jasc PL (talk) 20:57, 2 April 2018 (UTC)

@Polimerek: Can you please ask for such permission in Polish?   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 21:18, 2 April 2018 (UTC)

Fortunately, Ankry is (was) here Jeff. --Jasc PL (talk) 21:58, 2 April 2018 (UTC)

@Jasc PL: First, the permission is under GFDL license, so it is valid for text that is published in Wikimedia till May 2009. CC-BY-SA 3.0 is required for anything upoaded later and that cannot be relicensed.

Second, the rationale for copyright they provided is doubtful. It is not clear whether they have copyright to photos.

Third, asking for permission is not the role of an OTRS agent. Anybody who uploads a photo should ensure that they already have a permission for this. Actually, I am not even sure who the copyright holder is and I have no time to make deep investigation here. The photos may be used on their site even if they are not the real copyright holder under some kind of permission that does not allow anybody to publish them in Wikimedia. And before somebody asks for their permission they should ensure that they are the actual copyright holder. 05:04, 3 April 2018 (UTC)— Preceding unsigned comment added by Ankry (talk • contribs)

(1). Their approval from 2009 - now this matter is fully clear and closed, as we have 2018 now.

(2). All speculations about what they have or not are unjustified now - until we see their present permission.

(3). In some various places, also at the recent discuss with you Ankry I clearly stated, that I'll be concerned with this matter to the end and will provide them any needful assistance. I don't expect that somebody will make anything instead of me, I only ask if:

• They must provide separate permission for some single or every set of uploaded files? or
• There are any possibility to make an "open" permission for 3 mentioned images and any next from this copyright holder?

Great thanks for lack of answer one simple question I asked a week ago. I understand, that nobody - especially among Polish OTRS staff, is interested in receiving a quality photos released especially for us without -NC? --Jasc PL (talk) 15:33, 10 April 2018 (UTC)

@Jasc PL: The simplest way to have their material, provided that they are in fact the copyright holder of ALL content available or hosted anywhere on their website (including all images, videos, text, and any sound files), you may ask them to add a notice on the website's home page stating something to the effect that "This website's content has been published under the Creative Commons CC-BY-SA 4.0 license" (or a less restrictive Creative Commons license, if for some reason they prefer, with a link to https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.pl). You'll then be able to upload their content, adding {{Licensereview}} in the file pages. --Ruthven (msg) 07:37, 14 May 2018 (UTC)

Фото Ірини Кондратенко та Михайла Литвиненка.

Добрий день! Кілька діб назад (орієнтовно 29 чи 30 березня) вислала дозвіл на файл Ірина Кондратенко на українских агентів ОТРС. Через кілька діб (точно не скажу, орієнтовно десь 2 квітня) вислав дозвіл на решту фото Михайло Литвиненко або хтось із його родичів, оскільки він дуже старенький (92 роки буде через пару днів) і навіть не має комп'ютера, не те що пошти. Фото Ірини - , решта фото належить Михайлу Семеновичу. Email Ірини починається на i-kondratenko на meta.ua. Велике прохання глянути на дозволи і відновити фото.

Question about photos uploading permission

I was uploading photos for some Estonian movies. I do have the production company permission to use those posters and stills. But is it enough? The company is not the author of photos, but they order this material and they have bought all rights to use them wherever they want. So should i upload the company permission or those photos will be still deleted?

Thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kkkultuur (talk • contribs) 19:30, 14 May 2018 (UTC)

@Kkkultuur: If they have bought the copyright, you should send copy of the contract along with the authorisation from the company to permissions-commonswikimedia.org. --Ruthven (msg) 10:25, 20 May 2018 (UTC)

Art-Hanoi.com

Images donated by Sema from Art-Hanoi are found under the category Media contributed by Art-Hanoi and have a valid OTRS ticket 🎟, however a lot of them are still in OTRS pending categories which sometimes happened because they haven't been checked and sometimes because the Subst:OP template was used at the same time as the OTRS ticket 🎟, see here for example which will still get them deleted. As I am not an OTRS member I can't do any of the maintenance necessary to keep them from being deleted here, but that would leave me tasked by having to clean up there deletions on the English Wikipedia and the Vietnamese Wikipedia where they are very much in use. I am not sure if someone here has the free time to add the appropriate ticket or to remove the "Subst:OP" template as these get deleted en masse and are never individually checked so even if they have a valid ticket will still be deleted. --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 08:28, 22 June 2018 (UTC)

John Ferguson from Sportstune.com

John Ferguson who has a website that hosts a fairly large number of images of Chinese coins and charms has confirmed to me that he had sent permission to the OTRS team of Wikimedia Commons, he said that he didn't receive an automatic reply and that he didn't get a ticket number, can someone confirm that Mr. John Ferguson did indeed sent permission? (or at least that this e-mail was received by the servers? The e-mail address he may have used would've either have been "building@architectsoffice.co.uk" or "john@sportstune.com", I just wish to confirm that the ticket would've indeed been received by the OTRS.

If a special template will be created, could the maintenance category for all of his images be Category:Images contributed by John Ferguson (Sportstune.com)? Could someone then notify me on my talk page once the ticket has been processed? --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 21:22, 23 May 2018 (UTC)

@Donald Trung: Yes, we got a zip file from him on the 14th in the permissions-commons queue, creating Ticket:2018051410008727 and an autoreply; please ask him to check his spam folder.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 21:34, 23 May 2018 (UTC)

Alright, I just wanted to confirm the fact that the e-mail actually made it through as I was afraid that he wouldn't have passed your spam-filters or something, is there something missing with the permission or is the way he sent it "good to go" (after the mandatory waiting time, of course) if he didn't give the permission correctly I will notify him. As I have to sleep now I won't be able to reply to this thread soon. --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 21:41, 23 May 2018 (UTC)

@Donald Trung: A lot of images were provided, its going to take a while for a volunteer to look through the coins and the website to identify which coin is which (they weren't named in the file names). I've started a cursory glance but its going to take me at least a week to go through all of these. - Cameron¹¹⁵⁹⁸_(talk) 21:20, 29 May 2018 (UTC)

On second thought I have no idea how to even name these coins based on the information from the website :/ Maybe I'll let someone else identify and upload the coins. - Cameron¹¹⁵⁹⁸_(talk) 21:24, 29 May 2018 (UTC)

@Cameron11598: from what I can tell all the scans are John Ferguson's and illustrations like the ones found here aren't his. Note that at the bottom of this page he specifically states when images aren't his, as all the scans look similar I suspect that those are all his. Usually people credit others when they use their images so you could ask him just to be certain. --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 21:29, 29 May 2018 (UTC)

@Donald Trung: That doesn't really help me come up with a naming scheme as there are multiple versions of the same "named" coin. Some of them have descriptions some don't so it makes it difficult for me to come up with a viable naming scheme for these images as I'm not an expert on Chinese Coins (I may be on the path to becoming a historian by my area of emphasis is Latin America US relations.) - Cameron¹¹⁵⁹⁸_(talk) 21:39, 29 May 2018 (UTC)

@Cameron11598: personally I go with the inscription + the name of the author + number if the mint mark or script type is unknown, see Category:Media contributed by East Asian Cash Coins, I prefer not to use an inscription alone as one coin could have many variants. --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 21:49, 29 May 2018 (UTC)

A question on partial uploads

Quick question on the OTRS process. I've reached out to a copyright holder about submitting an image they have onto Commons, and they're somewhat reluctant about handing over the whole image. They are, however, fine with uploading a portion of the work. The image itself is a group photo, and I'm after a cropped part of it to use as a portrait for a historic figure on Wikipedia- this is the bit they're willing to crop and donate.

Is this acceptable to you guys, or does he have no choice but to upload the whole image? What's the process/consensus here? I'm new to all this and I'm not sure where else to ask. - ක - (talk) 04:52, 16 March 2018 (UTC)

@Jesuschristonacamel: That is fine, as long as the EXIF metadata survives the cropping. If it doesn't, they can email us the whole file with EXIF metadata, and we can apply that to the crop.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 05:25, 16 March 2018 (UTC)

@Jeff G.: Cheers! I'll get him to submit an OTRS ticket soon.- ක - (talk) 05:46, 16 March 2018 (UTC)

@Jeff G.: Quick follow-up: do I get him to mail you guys the image through OTRS, or will him uploading the image on Commons be ok? The entire image is on his personal website with a watermark. Additionally, how do you verify the uploader is who they say he is unless they submit an OTRS ticket? - ක - (talk) 16:12, 21 March 2018 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jesuschristonacamel (talk • contribs)

Forwarded emails

Hi, How do we deal with a forwarded email, when a direct answer is not possible. There is a concrete case just now, which could make a difference for a lot of files: Commons:Deletion requests/Getty Images photos from the TechCrunch Flickr account (see at the bottom). Regards, Yann (talk) 15:49, 14 May 2018 (UTC)

• @Yann: You could try dnsadmingettyimages.com.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 15:58, 14 May 2018 (UTC)

@Jeff G.: that seems to make no sense? That's the address for the Domain Name System administrator. Not only do they nothing about the issue at hand, OTRS can't contact Getty directly and/or has considerably worse odds of getting a useful answer.

My proposal was that I create a new mail address, receive the mail on that address and give Yann the login details for that mail account. Yann can share it with other OTRS members, just be careful you don't get locked out if everyone tries to login at the same time. - Alexis Jazz 18:51, 14 May 2018 (UTC)

@Alexis Jazz and Yann: If we have a forwarded email message, one way to verify it is genuine is to email the original sender. If we have to go through a dnsadmin, postmaster, or webform to do that because the target organization is purposefully opaque, I think we should try.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 02:14, 15 May 2018 (UTC)

@Jeff G.: small chance that'll happen..

If I give OTRS the login details for a mail account, you will be able to see the mail sitting in the inbox of the account, including headers. Afaik, that can't be faked. (no more or less than a mail direct to OTRS, which can't be faked either afaik) It's strange how we blindly believe any new user who uploads images as "own work" as long as Google can't find them, but here we must jump through incredible hoops because I can't be trusted, Yann can't be trusted, you can't be trusted, nobody can be trusted. Even though none of us lie or has any incentive to lie. - Alexis Jazz 04:14, 15 May 2018 (UTC)

@Alexis Jazz: Do you have a pair of URLs for the same photo on Getty and TechCrunch's Flickr I could ask about?   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 15:39, 15 May 2018 (UTC)

@Jeff G.: I could find such a pair, but Getty is infinitely more likely to respond to a question from a potential customer as opposed to Commons asking for freebies. So please, don't contact them. - Alexis Jazz 22:08, 15 May 2018 (UTC)

@Jeff G.: I am not trying to reach Getty, Alexis does. And he is right that, in that case, we have to contact them through a form, so they will probably answer to the requester only. A special email account may be a solution, or may be someone has a better idea? I would trust Alexis in this case. He could also copy the full header to OTRS for additional proof.

Uploading images for the owner

If someone has given me permission to upload their photos and promotional event posters to the public domain for use in a wikipedia article, how do I go about doing that? Since I am not the owner of the image, I have to select - "This file is not my own work." and then provide a source, author, and why I "have the right to publish this work" which is either selecting a Creative Commons license that the copyright holder published the work with, or another reason with a valid copyright tag, and the date the work was created or first published. I don't have all this information, just the image and a statement from the owner: [we] own the copyright 100% of all the posters we create. Can I upload these on their behalf?

There was no way to link https://www.flickr.com/photos/brunomottafotos/3710574781/ to him, he is in the OTRS process but I've been talking to him and I suggested he would link the Flickr account on his website/Twitter and change the license on Flickr. He linked the Flickr account on his Twitter and changed the license for both photos to CC0.

I will still let him go through OTRS, even if only because we generally require that for notable people editing Wikimedia projects. But I think File:BrunoZé03pq.JPG and File:Bruno Motta.jpg can also just be reviewed now since they have a compatible license on Flickr and the Flickr account can now be linked to him via his verified Twitter account. - Alexis Jazz ^{ping plz} 07:44, 8 June 2018 (UTC)

Case appears to have been resolved. - Alexis Jazz ^{ping plz} 03:36, 9 June 2018 (UTC)

Bilder Mommer

Wertes OTRS-Team,

sorry, dass ich mich jetzt erst melde, ich habe halt heute erst bemerkt, dass einige Bilder aus dem Artikel Willy Mommer von JuTa gelöscht wurden, da angeblich keine Freigabe vorhanden war. Ich als derjenige, der diese Bilder hochgeladen hat, bin diesbezüglich auch nicht informiert worden.

Fakt ist jedoch, dass ich vor längerer Zeit mich an die Ausarbeitung des Artikels de:Willy Mommer beteiligte. Über Benutzer:Dolores18, die mir bekannt ist, bin ich an einigen Bildern gekommen, die aus ihrem Archivbestand sind. Diese habe ich für sie am 6. Februar (!) hochgeladen und ihr zugleich die Freigabeerklärung geschickt, die sie wiederum ein Tag später ordnungsgemäß an das OTRS-Team weitergeleitet hat! Eine Kopie ihres Mails an das support-Team liegt mir vor.

Da bis zum 7. April auf diesen Bildern noch keine Freigabe vermerkt wurde, schrieb ich AKA an und dieser versicherte mir, dass er die Priorität von "Normal" auf "Höher" gesetzt hat. Trotzdem sind die Bilder offensichtlich nicht freigegeben worden, obwohl alles rechtens gelaufen ist!

Deshalb verstehe ich die Verzögerung beim OTRS-Team insgesamt und letztendlich auch die Löschung nicht und bitte Euch freundlichst um Klarstellung dieses Problems und Wiederherstellung der Bilder mit ordnungsgemäßer Freigabe.

Es handelt sich um diese Bilder: File:Männerquartett Eupen 1959.jpg, File:Männerquartett Eupen 1959 (2).jpg, File:Plattenhülle Männerquartett Eupen DNB 30.005.jpg, File:Willy Mommer, jun..jpg, File:Willy Mommer, jun. (2).jpg.

Deleted Photo has since submitted permission letter

Hi, A photo that was placed on Commons in September 2017 and was taken down on November 6 2017 has since submitted an addtional permission letter which hopefully meets WikiCommons standardsand requirements. The File name is File:Portrait of Alfred Spector.jpg and you can find the deletion page here; It was deleted by editor Jcb. I am asking that the photo be reinstated onto Commons with an OTRS tag so that it can be added to the following Wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_Spector. Please let me know if there is any problem. Thank you. SteelersSuperBowl (talk) 11:06, 8 May 2018 (UTC)

Being granted permission to upload all media by a deceased author

I would like to know if it's possible to be granted permission to upload all media by a deceased author via the usual OTRS. As in, an email is sent to the OTRS team that grants the permission to upload the media of an author under a CC license. In this case Ayik Umar Said. Aumars (talk) 10:38, 20 May 2018 (UTC)

Template:OTRS pending

This may not be exactly the right place to post this, but here goes anyway: Why doesn't Template:OTRS pending have a "ticket number" parameter – isn't that exactly the crucial bit of information we want from the submitter? Perhaps there's some other template that I haven't found that does this? Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 12:37, 27 June 2018 (UTC)

Uploader is not always the submitter, won't know if tickets have been merged, and in some queues does not receive an auto reply. And once a volunteer has seen the ticket, they should update to received anyway, which takes a ticket number. Storkk (talk) 12:49, 27 June 2018 (UTC)

Doubtful OTRS Permission Regarding File:Misa Mihajlo Kravcev potpisuje knjigu.jpg

A months ago, I tagged File:Misa Mihajlo Kravcev potpisuje knjigu.jpg for no source. Recently, when I examine the files I have dealt with, I found an OTRS permission template being added by a user who is not an OTRS agent (the user, I have search the user's name on Category:Commons OTRS volunteers).

droits auteurs contesté par JCB pour image : Claude de Romefort, autoportrait 1942 jpg et l'image supprimée sans vérification préalable.

L'image file:claude de Romefort autoportrait 1942 jpg a été supprimée par JCB depuis le 16 février sous prétexte qu'elle n'était pas sous licence. Un mail et même plusieurs ont été envoyés par les ayants droits pour deux images, celle mentionnée ci dessus et une autre intitulée claude de Romefort, jugement dernier novembre 1976 détail. Cette dernière ne pose pas de problème, l'autre par contre, celle supprimée, a fait l'objet de demandes complémentaires qui ont été produites par mail,en même temps que la seconde mais la mention n'a pas été mise à jour. Voila une semaine que j'ai renvoyé un mail resté sans réponse et que je n'ai aucune réponse pour savoir si ces mails envoyés pour autorisations par les ayants droits ont bien été reçus et conservés. Que faire pour rétablir cette image ? que faire pour que JCB ait accès à ces mails et rétablisse cette image? je vous remercie--Tpgrieg (talk) 09:57, 24 February 2018 (UTC)

Bonjour, j'écris partout, je suis perdue! Je viens de trouver cette otrs notice board pour renouveler ma demande. Le 16 février dernier, JCB a supprimé cette image (cf sujet) sous prétexte que cela faisait 30jours qu'il fallait confirmer l’autorisation de licence. Cela avait été fait mais la mise à jour n'a pas suivie. Il y a eu un premier envoi de mails des ayants droits, puis à nouveau des nouveaux mails en complément ainsi que le rajout d'une nouvelle image nommée Claude de Romefort jugement dernier 1976 détail jpg. Celle ci n'a pas eu de problème tandis que la première a conservé sa mention otrs sans mise à jour. Pourquoi ? comment faire pour la rétablir? je passe mon temps à expliquer dans différents lieu du labyrinthe de wikimédia et wikipédia, pas de réponses, pourquoi? , merci de votre aide , je suis désespérée.--Tpgrieg (talk) 10:31, 24 February 2018 (UTC)

Un Vaincu

Hello. The file https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Boissonnas,_Un_Vaincu,_English,_1875.djvu has now a red tag of deletion within 15 days. I would like to understand what went wrong with the process, because I have contacted and obtained authorization from the translator's son, Jean Boisssonnas (the author Lucie Boissonnas died at the end of the XIXth century). The translator's son sent an email to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org at my request, I was in CC, on Sat, Mar 17, 2018 at 10:17 AM. The text of the email had been cut and paste from the tutorial on this web site. See also User_talk:Hektor in wikisource for background. Thanks for considering my question.

Besoin urgent de validation d'images

Bonjour,

J'ai récemment mis en ligne des images pour lesquelles le photographe a envoyé des autorisations par mail. Il s'agit des photos présentes dans Category:2018 Cabourg Film Festival et Category:Fête du cinéma 2018. Les autorisations n'ont toujours pas été validées. J'en ai déjà parlé ici.

Maintenant je peux lire le message suivant : " Rien n'indique que l'autorisation d'utiliser ce fichier ait pu être vérifiée. Les champs auteur et source ont été renseignés mais il est indiqué que l'autorisation a été envoyée par courrier électronique. Cependant, elle n'est pas encore parvenue à l'équipe OTRS de Commons qui est chargée de vérifier sa validité. Veuillez nous envoyer la preuve que vous êtes autorisé à publier ce fichier à l'adresse permissions-commons@wikimedia.org. Si nous n'avons rien reçu dans les 15 jours qui suivent l'apposition de ce bandeau (14 October 2018), ce fichier sera probablement effacé." (14 octobre ??? Est-ce un bug ?)

Y-a-t-il un problème ? Si c'est le cas, il faudrait me prévenir parce que je demanderai alors au photographe - avec qui je travaille depuis longtemps et qui a déjà donné plus de 5000 images à commons - de les renvoyer en urgence. En attendant, je me vois obligé de retirer la balise otrs pending pour éviter qu'elles soient supprimées automatiquement aujourd'hui, désolé... Merci d'avance. JJ Georges (talk) 09:17, 12 July 2018 (UTC)

Par sécurité, j'ai fait suivre un message avec toutes les URL des photos au photographe, qui l'a renvoyé en me mettant en copie. Normalement, vous avez tout ce qu'il faut... JJ Georges (talk) 12:56, 12 July 2018 (UTC)

La date du 14 octobre 2018 n'est pas un bug. La date indiquée correspond au délai prévu pour qu'un courriel envoyé à l'équipe OTRS puisse être traitée par un membre de l'équipe OTRS. Ce délai est actuellement d'environ trois mois et demi, compte tenu du très grand nombre de demandes qui sont faites (dont un grand nombre de demandes inutiles qui surchargent sans raison OTRS) par rapport au très petit nombre de membres OTRS. Par exemple, si un bandeau «OTRS pending» a été placé sur la page de description d'un fichier vers le début du mois de juillet 2018, alors la date qui sera indiquée comme date de départ du calcul des quinze jours de grâce supplémentaires avant suppression sera trois mois et demi plus tard, donc vers le milieu du mois d'octobre 2018. Toutefois, cet avertissement de suppression ne devient visible sur la page du fichier que lorsque la période de trois mois et demi est écoulée. Vous avez cependant exceptionnellement vu cet avertissement avant ce temps pendant une brève période dans la journée du 12 juillet 2018, parce que le modèle «OTRS pending» avait été vandalisé ([8]), ce qui a été réparé peu après dans la même journée. Le bandeau est revenu à son affichage normal et l'avertissement de suppression n'y apparaîtra normalement qu'au mois d'octobre si le courriel n'a pas été traité à ce moment. Si un courriel a bien été expédié et est en attende de traitement par OTRS, il n'est pas opportun de retirer le bandeau «OTRS pending», puisque la présence de ce bandeau sert précisément à protéger le fichier contre la suppression jusque vers la fin du mois d'octobre 2018 (le délai de traitement OTRS de trois mois et demi après le placement du bandeau plus quinze jours supplémentaires). -- Asclepias (talk) 15:13, 12 July 2018 (UTC)

Merci pour l'explication, je comprends mieux. Même si ce n'était pas un "bug", c'était bel et bien anormal puisque le bandeau avait été vandalisé. Sur le moment, j'ai cru qu'on avait attendu trop longtemps pour valider et que les photos allaient disparaître... Quoi qu'il en soit, je sais maintenant que le message nécessaire a été envoyé ! JJ Georges (talk) 15:23, 12 July 2018 (UTC)

Si ça peut aider, j'ai remis la balise otrs pending aux images qui ne sont pas encore validées. JJ Georges (talk) 19:14, 13 July 2018 (UTC)

The shortest acceptable attribution would be "Peaksel CC BY-SA 4.0", and you would have to license with a CC BY-SA 4.0 or later license, unless you negotiate something better with Peaksel.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 18:28, 18 June 2018 (UTC)

Lukion taulukot.pdf

I suspect that processing of the OTRS permit will require somebody who will understand Finnish, but I would like to know if the permit looks like that it is technically ok and it will not require additional information. --Zache (talk) 12:52, 8 July 2018 (UTC)

@Jeff G.: thanks for checking. I checked that both Finnish speaking OTRS members are passive and notified fiwikis community that we need new OTRS volunteers. Do you know what will happen if there is no Finnish speaking OTRS members? Eg. if there are no new Finnish speaking OTRS volunteers and Makele-90/Para doesn't response in 30 days do we have any other alternatives than keep it pending and delete the file? --Zache (talk) 09:58, 9 July 2018 (UTC)

Yes, on it. --AntonierCH ^(d) 13:18, 9 July 2018 (UTC)

I have some doubt about the sentence "Luovutuksensaajalla on tarkoitus saada lukiolaisten käyttöön vapaasti muokattava taulukkokirja, joka julkaistaan [FIWIKI]" that might restrict the transfer only for Wikipedia and would therefore be insufficient. I need to investigate a bit more, this might take some time. --AntonierCH ^(d) 13:33, 9 July 2018 (UTC)

@Jeff G. and Zache: All good, it's good. The sentence is only to explain the context and not a limitation. Permission is therefore valid. --AntonierCH ^(d) 09:59, 21 July 2018 (UTC)

Uploads by Hiba Falah

Hi, This user has uploaded posters and added an OTRS permission. However it seems that the permission was not validated by an OTRS volunteer. Knowledge of Arabic would be useful. See e.g. File:بوستر ثار غليص.jpg, and User:Hiba Falah/MyTag. Thanks, Yann (talk) 10:54, 7 June 2018 (UTC)

User:Hiba Falah is the copyright holder. We had a meeting with the company Arab Telemedia Group last year, and they agreed to release some posters. Now, in order not to send a new email for each poster, it was agreed to let User:Hiba Falah handle the uploads. Any Company Poster not uploaded by User:Hiba Falah is actually a copyright violation.

Images from the WikiGap event in Kigali on March 8, 2018

Hello everyone, I recently uploaded some images from the WikiGap event in Kigali on March 8, 2018. While the pictures taken by Julia Sjöström have been marked as verified by an OTRS-member, the ones from Carl Fredrik Wettermark are marked as permission missing. I guess this is due to Mr. Wettermark sending the permission email not from an official domain, but from his private account. As I asked him to resend it using an official email address, I hereby request you to not delete the pictures and wait for that email. Thank you. --Zenith4237 (talk) 15:49, 14 June 2018 (UTC)

Files I received by e-mail (Ticket#2018080410000275)

I created a concept template at User:Donald Trung/Scott Semans .zip files concept template to become Template:Scott Semans charms which were all sent to me in a .zip file by Scott Semans, I asked him to forward the .zip to the Wikimedia Commons OTRS team so I could upload the images here, he received an e-mail from an OTRS member requesting a URL, since I am going to upload these files here I request for the above template to be created and that later an OTRS member could confirm that all files that use that template are in fact the file contained within that .zip. This is because those files are simply no longer online as his "Chinese charms" shop returns a 404 message, but all content on his website (including texts and images) are releases as CC-BY-3.0 however since they haven't been online for many, many years I can't confirm this. --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 16:04, 5 August 2018 (UTC)

It all appears to be in order ... except that the author of the image is, according to the EXIF data, not Ursus Magana but Alex Hallajian.

Hi, Justlettersandnumbers - it appears your esteemed colleague worked his magic, and the image has been cleared through permissions. I'd say it's safe to consider this case RESOLVED. Atsme 📞 00:53, 11 June 2018 (UTC)

Er, no, esteemed colleague Atsme, it isn't resolved – Neozoon has sent an enquiry, but no reply (that I can see) has been received (thanks, Neozoon – I could and should have done that myself, I now realise). I don't know if he/she has also contacted Alex Hallajian, but there's a note saying he/she'd do that too. I'm concerned about this file because it appears that the uploader has been less than 100% transparent in some other uploads – see. e.g., Commons:Deletion requests/File:Diane Tuft 2017.jpg.

Files uploaded by Anantashakti

This file was originally uploaded in 2007, so maybe the way Commons verifies licensing over the years has changed since then. The file is licensed as {{Cc-by-sa-2.5}} and it is "Copyrighted to Himalayan Academy Publications, Kapaa, Kauai, Hawaii. Licensed for Wikipedia under Creative Commons and requires attribution when reproduced." There is a link on the file's page which says permission can be found at en:User:Himalayan Academy Publications. "User:Himalayan Academy Publications" also contains a link to en:User:Satyanatha/Permission email,which looks like a permission email which was/could be sent to OTRS, but there's nothing there suggesting OTRS has verified the original copyright ownership license, etc. Moreover, the permission emails seem to user specific (i.e., permission granted to a particular user only) which is something Commons generally doesn't accept. There are quite a number of files uploaded by Special:Contributions/Anantashakti~commonswiki and all seem to be under the same license. Anantashakti~commonswiki hasn't edited since 2008 and User:Himalayan Academy Publications hasn't edited since December 2011, so I have no idea how to find out more about this from them. Is all this sufficient for Commons verification purposes, or do these files require fruther OTRS verification? -- Marchjuly (talk) 10:14, 10 June 2018 (UTC)

Copied from COM:VP.

I don't see the issue if https://secure.wikimedia.org/otrs/index.pl?Action=AgentTicketZoom&TicketID=738277 actually shows these permission mails. Well, I see one issue: the license needs to be changed to GFDL, but we can do that. - Alexis Jazz ^{ping plz} 18:31, 11 June 2018 (UTC)

"permission granted to a particular user only" permission is granted to a specific user to upload, so they leave the decision of what to upload and what will be licensed to that user. "All material uploaded by User:Anantashakti copyrighted by Himalayan Academy will automatically be licensed to Wikipedia under GFDL." is clear: the content is licensed to Wikipedia under GFDL. Wikipedia shares it with the world using the same license, and the GFDL allows Wikipedia to do that. - Alexis Jazz ^{ping plz} 18:38, 11 June 2018 (UTC)

Painting by a dead artist

Hello, I am asking this question for User:Kawika1000. So he wants to upload an image: https://www.keouanui.org/elizabeth-kekaaniau. This portrait is commissioned based on a historic 1850s photograph. The artist Mary Koski and the person who commissioned it is a family member of the deceased subject. The painting is now displayed at the Kawaiahao Church in Honolulu. The artist is now dead and the work was done in the 1980s. I don’t know anything about the commissioner but guess they don’t hold the copyright. My question is how can the user get the copyright permission to upload this image. Can he get permission from the artist’s descendants and get an OTRS tag verifying that? Will that work? Uploading as a fair use image is not an option since there are many other free images of Elizabeth Kekaaniau.—-KAVEBEAR (talk) 16:06, 27 June 2018 (UTC)

This will probably depend on whether it was a "Work for hire". Not all commissions are technically Works for Hire, and it would require there to have been a written contract specifying that it was a Work for Hire. If that is the case, then the copyright would lie with the person who commissioned it, and we would need confirmation from them. If it was not a Work for Hire, then the copyright would lie with the (heirs of) the artist, unless the artist then sold the copyright. But absent any indication that the copyright was sold, and given the artist is deceased, then yes, permission from an heir of the artist (assuming that heir inherited the copyrights, and they weren't bequeathed elsewhere) would be required and sufficient. Storkk (talk) 18:05, 27 June 2018 (UTC)

Just a note about the images at Kawaiahao Church in Honolulu. They are only giclée copies. The originals are actually at Liliuokalani Church. Gertrude Miller/Toledo passed away in 2006 but contacting this Miller family (no relationship) might provide some clarification if she has an archive or left documents etc..--Mark Miller (talk) 22:30, 27 June 2018 (UTC)

Also, the artist daughter is likely the heir to her mother's works and copyright (as it appears from some sources but from indirect evidence) and is easily contacted as she is a working artist herself. I do not have her name however.--Mark Miller (talk) 22:54, 27 June 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for everyone's help....I was able to contact the artist Koski's heir who is Mrs. Long, she emailed me granting permission to use on Wikipedia as long as her mother is indicated as the artist. I also was granted permission from the commissioners' children (my cousins) who are her heirs. I will try and re-post using proper certification and tag Kawika1000 (talk) 12:30, 29 June 2018 (UTC)

Hello, Kawika. Here is the instruction on how to upload a work that is not yours once you have gotten the permission from the copyright holder of the work. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:OTRS#If_you_are_NOT_the_copyright_holder —-KAVEBEAR (talk) 15:37, 4 July 2018 (UTC)

Note that "permission to use on Wikipedia" is not sufficient, and we need an actual license. See COM:Licensing for more information. Storkk (talk) 15:44, 4 July 2018 (UTC)

I’m not too familiar with this since I’ve never uploaded a copyrighted image myself and the page you link is all jargon to me. Can you please explain which license should be used in this particular case? It is a copyrighted work that the copyright holders are giving permission to use.—KAVEBEAR (talk) 02:52, 5 July 2018 (UTC)

"Permission to use" is simply not sufficient to upload here. The copyright holders need explicitly declare a license that we permit. All licenses that we permit allow anybody to modify and reuse (even commercially) the works uploaded here, as long as various requirements such as attribution are followed. If you could make it more obvious exactly which parts of COM:Licensing you feel are inadequately expressed or "jargon", we can try to help you understand, but Commons:Licensing#Acceptable_licenses seems to use jargon sparingly, and I'm not sure how much clearer it can be made.

OTRS permission only possible one image at a time?

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Fire_Law_Stone&diff=848104727&oldid=848062816

I said: Sending OTRS permission for every image would be rather bothersome and also not necessary. OTRS only needs to verify the planeimages.net account belongs to the same person as the User:Fire Law Stone account.

FlightTime responded: "bothersome". Then I suggest stop uploading.

I would swear OTRS could be used to give permission for more than one image at once or just to verify some other account belongs to a wiki user so they won't be accused of COM:NETCOPYVIO when they upload their own images. Was I wrong this whole time? - Alexis Jazz ^{ping plz} 22:46, 29 June 2018 (UTC)

They can be grouped together. But we need to know exactly what images are being released. They have to be specifically mentioned. And it is only "intimidating" because enwiki doesn't have a mass file handling script. So each one is done individually which results in numerous, repetitive, notices. I've been asking for VFC on enwiki for years now to no avail. As for FlightTime's response, they only said that because you said it was "bothersome" to begin with. --Majora (talk) 22:54, 29 June 2018 (UTC)

Would "tedious" have been better? And is it not possible to release all images from a specific social media account, website, etc? I strongly suspect there are tickets that do not mention each and every filename. - Alexis Jazz ^{ping plz} 03:38, 1 July 2018 (UTC)

Of course they can. But if they were to send something in that said, "all images from website x are under this license", we are likely just to tell them to post a note on the website. And yes, there are tickets that don't mention a file name. They are a massive pain to handle and oftentimes we have to ask what image they are talking about anyways leading to delays in processing. There is even a default response that basically says "we don't know what you are talking about. Please tell us." --Majora (talk) 03:44, 1 July 2018 (UTC)

In many similar cases, we have created Custom OTRS permission templates to use on every file covered by a broad permission statement. Guanaco (talk) 03:54, 1 July 2018 (UTC)

Fair point. Either or will work. I guess it would depend on if it was a continuing release and there were lots and lots of photos that would be uploaded over a period of time. Up to the agent on how they want to handle it I guess. --Majora (talk) 03:58, 1 July 2018 (UTC)

In this particular case, it would be "all images from the Ashabul planeimages.net account that I upload here with the 'Fire Law Stone' wiki acount".

Having to send permission every time he uploads a plane image (which seems to be half a dozen every once in a while) would be tedious. - Alexis Jazz ^{ping plz} 08:03, 1 July 2018 (UTC)

Er...Alexis Jazz that website allows you to mark photos as Creative Commons. Says so right here. Just have them change the licenses on their photos from "All Rights Reserved" to an acceptable license. No OTRS needed. They will probably require {{LicenseReview}} at that point but that is leaps and bounds quicker and simpler than going through OTRS. --Majora (talk) 19:36, 1 July 2018 (UTC)

In any case, what is important is that can be unambiguously identified 1) the images and 2) the license. So any statement including both would do. E.g. "I, XX, allow all my photos of the Museo del Prado uploaded by user YY to be published under CC by 4.0 license" is perfect. Not tiresome at all. Sending a single email for every upload is pointless and confusing for OTRS agents. --Ruthven (msg) 07:15, 2 July 2018 (UTC)

@Persocon: OTRS, like Commons, is entirely staffed by volunteers, and, also like Commons, is shorthanded, so it may be close to 24 days before the email message is processed.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 13:32, 30 July 2018 (UTC)

@Jeff G.: Thanks for the quick reply. Sad, it means that the file will be deleted even before the check of email. How could I proceed next time uploading? on the uploader wizard there's no way to prove that I own the credits of the images or it is creative commons. --Persocon (talk) 14:41, 30 July 2018 (UTC)

My mother's photos

Question: my mother has given me the right to publish any of her photos that I see fit to upload to Wikipedia. I just received notice that some of these photos need OTRS verification - is there a quick way for her to authorize me to publish her photos? Maybe an OTRS template? That way I wouldn't have to go through the time wasting OTRS process for every upload. Thanks, mr.choppers (talk)^-en- 00:57, 27 June 2018 (UTC)

@Mr.choppers: Yes, we can make a template for her work. Once you have an approved ticket for her work, you can mention this to the approving agent.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 03:05, 27 June 2018 (UTC)

Changing license templates

Hello. A while ago i uploaded a number of audio files with an OTRS for permission. However it has been pointed out the the license templates applied to these items is {{self|cc-by-sa-3.0}} when it should probably read {{cc-by-sa-3.0|Sain (Recordiau) Cyf.}} since SAIN are the copyright holders. Could someone confirm that it is ok to change the licences? or will this invalidate the permission given in the OTRS doc? Thanks in advance Jason.nlw (talk) 15:43, 16 July 2018 (UTC)

It is ok. You should also make sure that the source is not {{Own}}. You could use one of these tags: Category:Multilingual_tags:_Source like {{Author source}}. --AntonierCH ^(d) 11:12, 17 July 2018 (UTC)

ticket:2010021110051311 Permission for all photos from the site bscyb.ch ? --ManFromNord (talk) 11:05, 18 July 2018 (UTC)

@ManFromNord: Per Google Translate, no license was specified, so under today's conditions no file bearing this ticket number would survive.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 11:24, 18 July 2018 (UTC)

No, a permission covers the following file under CC-BY-SA-3.0 (permission is in the email of the OTRS agent) :

• de:File:YB-St.Gallen18709 168.jpg ==transferred from dewiki to==> File:Vladimir Petkovic 2009.jpg

@AntonierCH: Which article was that license approved in? Which OTRS member approved on-wiki? Perhaps I missed it.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 12:00, 18 July 2018 (UTC)

Article 4 seems to contain the explicit agreement to the license terms. Although I usually prefer seeing it written by the customer, in this case they explicitly agree to the license. I believe we accept that routinely. OTRS agent involved was Guandalug, who was an OTRS member and administrator. Storkk (talk) 12:10, 18 July 2018 (UTC)

Hey Jeff G.! ticket:2010021110051311, license CC-BY-SA-3.0-DE in 4th article (#Article5086790), approved in 5th article. In the 3rd article the OTRS agent is asking questions and the requestor is responding inline in the 4th article, see question 3 answered by "Ja". 4th article basically says :"I have added the permission template, check if it's alright". I hope it is clear, feel free to ask more information or a translation (i can leave a ticket note in English that sums it up id needed). --AntonierCH ^(d) 12:11, 18 July 2018 (UTC)

@Jeff G.: I had expressed some doubts in the tickets and asked another agent for an opinion. AFAIR, I did not receive any before I have left OTRS and I do not remember what my doubts were about. Maybe, concerning authorship of the photo. I think, you should ask another Polish-speaking OTRS agent for explanation. Ankry (talk) 13:34, 19 July 2018 (UTC)

Deleted pics from my fiancee

I noticed today the following files had been erased:

Files of Alberto Julbe

Alberto Julbe (talk · contribs) uploaded these files:

   File:Aljibe del castillo de Villel.JPG
   File:Atalaya del castillo de Tramacastiel.jpg
   File:Castell de Vallada.JPG
   File:Libros (Teruel).JPG
   File:Plataforma del castillo de Libros.JPG
   File:Torre del castillo de Villel.JPG
   File:Tramacastiel.jpg
   File:Villel (Teruel).JPG

And all because the author was listed as "My fiancee" (who happens to be my wife right now). I posted them with my account because she doesn't have one, and according to Spanish law, anything we own is shared. Some of those pics ( File:Libros (Teruel).JPG

   File:Plataforma del castillo de Libros.JPG    File:Castell de Vallada.JPG) were extremely difficult to obtain, and it is quite possible that backups have been destroyed. Was it really necessary to erase them because there wasn't a written permission from someone called "my fiancee"? Does she need to create an account with that username? 

If I ever get to publish anything on wikipedia I will get sure not to give credit to the one clicking the button of my camera in order to avoid this, but it's most possible I never ever do it again.

German speaker needed to confirm permission

Hi! File:Helmut-Balzert.jpg mentions ticket:2006050810011088 , but does not have a OTRS permissions template. Could a German speker check if the permission was recived and covers this file? --Jonatan Svensson Glad (talk) 09:18, 9 August 2018 (UTC)

Hi Jonatan,

Nowadays, we would not have found this release as sufficient. The sender isn't clear on owning the copyrights to the image, nor under which license he wants to release it - it's "downloadable for free use".

I can read and speak German, but not really write. I would like to ask a German OTRS volunteer for a second opinion and maybe try a follow up on the ticket, even though it's twelve years old. Ciell (talk) 21:20, 10 August 2018 (UTC)

After reviewing the ticket I have to agree with Ciell that the ticket neither mentions a license nor that the sender is in fact the copyright holder. Cheers --Millbart (talk) 15:38, 11 August 2018 (UTC)

+1 This is one of the very old permission tickets (2006) we have, that where not handled properly from todays point of view.

Since there is a better and younger picture of Helmut-Balzert, the old image ist not in use anymore (beside some user pages). A request to the depicted person will propably lead to a complicated discussion with unshure outcome, I would recommend to delete it. // Martin K. (talk) 08:44, 12 August 2018 (UTC)

Summary of the ticket: An OTRS member asked the depicted person for a photograph where they have the copyright (6 December 2005). This photo was sent in response (13 February 2006). In response, the OTRS member asked for a higher resolution of the photo (18 March 2006). The depicted person replied on the same day and refered to a photo at http://www.w3l.de/ which can be freely used, original quote is: Das Foto kann frei verwendet werden. The photo was then uploaded on the same day. Martin K. is right in pointing out that this is a very early ticket where the requirements were not as well established. We have following options: We could grandfather it or delete it as we cannot be sure about the copyright status and its free release. I recommend the latter as we have a more recent and much better photo and as the older photo is no longer used in the main space of any project. Like Martin K., I would advise against re-opening this ticket. --AFBorchert (talk) 10:18, 12 August 2018 (UTC)

Email Sent to OTRS several days ago, but not verified yet (Ticket#2018072510007418)

Hi! I uploaded on Wikimedia Commons some screenshots of the video game "Prince of Persia" (1989) a few days ago (available here : Category:Prince of Persia). The copyright holder, Jordan Mechner, gave his permission to publish the content under a CC-BY-SA 4.0 license. Two emails were sent to the OTRS team by Jordan Mechner. A first one on July the 25th (generating Ticket#2018072510007418, answered by an OTRS member on July the 31st) and a second one on August the 6th (containing the links to the content). This permission has not been validated yet by an OTRS member. Can anyone check this? Thank you very much  ! --ΛΦΠ (talk) 22:57, 10 August 2018 (UTC)

Good night OTRS volunteers, on 16 July 2018 at 22:10, I wrote here that I asked the copyright owner to send a new OTRS email to permissions-commons. The owner did send it directly to permissions-commons on 11 July, 2018 at 10:12 a.m. IDT (Israel Daylight Time). Then I was sorry to find out that File:נכה לא חצי בן אדם - לוגו.jpg was deleted on 13 August 2018 at 19:35.

Ticket no. 2018081610003302

Was wondering if an OTRS volunteer could check the ticket(s) for File:Michael and Martin Hofele.jpg, File:HOFELE-Design factory in Donzdorf.png, File:Bruno Hofele.png and File:Carl Hofele.png. The files were uploaded and {{OTRS permission}} tags added with the same edit by the same editor who has only just created his/her account, only has four edits to his/her credit and who is not an OTRS volunteer. Perhaps this is not uncommon, but I've never come across it before. -- Marchjuly (talk) 08:05, 21 August 2018 (UTC)

Hi, the ticket is not processed yet. I removed the {{OTRS permission}} from the files and added {{subst:OP}} instead. The ticket is ambiguous and does not even mention the files, so I did not use {{OTRS received}}. By the way, an abuse filter tracks pemissions added by non-OTRS volunteers. But recently, the group name changed from OTRS-member to otrs-member (all lowercase), and I guess that is why the filter is broken and these edits were not tagged. I will take care of this problem. 4nn1l2 (talk) 03:55, 22 August 2018 (UTC)

This was a regex issue and was reported at Commons:Administrators' noticeboard#Abuse Filter 69: Template:OTRS permission is not detected. Thanks for spotting these! 4nn1l2 (talk) 05:02, 22 August 2018 (UTC)

Письмо от автора пришло, но автор не ответил на встречный вопрос, не подтвердил, что он является автором, поэтому разрешение не было выдано. Автору было предложено, на выбор:

• Разместить свой почтовый адрес, хотя бы временно, на своём сайте или в открытом профайле любой соцсети, прислав нам ссылку.
• Прислать разрешение с другого адреса, который будет явно связан с автором.
• Прислать (фото)копию любого документа.

File:Chiara Ferragni at the 2018 Cannes Film Festival.jpg

Givlia.ah claims that a licensing permission e-mail for this photo has been sent in. But given that no license is specified on the file description page, that the uploader found the photo on Google, that they think the photographer's name is "Glamour" (not sure if that's supposed to be their first or last name, but the real author's name is Pascal Le Segretain), and that Getty Images aren't in the habit of publishing their content under free licenses, it looks a lot like the uploader is simply abusing {{OTRS pending}} to delay the inevitable deletion.

Woodcuts of Petter Lorens Hoffbro

I recently added the following picture to Wikimedia Commons, and was just informed of that the description of the copyright situation I gave did not suffice to substantiate that the picture is in the public domain. The picture can (as of yet) be found at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Petter_Lorens_Hoffbro_woodcut_Johannes_Magnus.tif

The picture was taken on the request of a Jonas Nordin for use in his works. The woodcut in itself is obviously no longer protected by any copyright, and as far as the photograph in particular is concerned, Jonas Nordin informed me when he sent me the picture, it does not come with any copyright attached to it, and that I was free to distribute it as I wished. What do you require that I provide to make you satisfied that everything is acceptable in as far as having the picture on Wikimedia Commons is concerned? -- Makemakean —Preceding undated comment was added at 18:38, 27 August 2018 (UTC)

@Makemakean: You had better use a standard license template such as {{PD-old-100}} rather than writing in words about the copyright status. Furthermore, please note that in Nordic countries faithful 2D reproductions of old paintings usually result in a new copyright to the photographer (Commons:Reuse of PD-Art photographs#Nordic countries). Nevertheless, Commons:2D copying states that such photographs can be hosted on Wikimedia Commons. 4nn1l2 (talk) 06:26, 28 August 2018 (UTC)

ticket:2018082510003901

Hi, Do you think this permission (in French) is sufficient? i.e. File:Photo portrait de Clément Berlié au Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps en 2017.jpg. It is not the standard CC license, but I think the text is equivalent to a free license. However, the permission comes from the subject, the photographer's name is not given, and it is not specified how the subject acquired the copyright. What kind of document should we eventually ask? Regards, Yann (talk) 08:49, 28 August 2018 (UTC)

@Yann: Without the name of the photographer or means of transfer of copyright, no it is not sufficient. Others reading this board may wish to review COM:ANB#Rédacteur31.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 00:50, 30 August 2018 (UTC)

Yes, I agree, and I requested more information. My question is about what kind of document(s) we need to assert copyright ownership. It is quite probable that we won't get a copy of the contract, as it may contain confidential information. Regards, Yann (talk) 07:29, 30 August 2018 (UTC)

Clarification on licencing (BC highway sheilds)

I noticed that the File:British Columbia Yellowhead Highway 16.png on Wikimedia Commons has an OTRS licence, even though it's similar to the non-free w:File:British Columbia Highway 5.svg and w:File:British Columbia Highway 16.svg. If I'm interpreting the licence correctly, could I substitute a '5' for the existing '16' and create a similar file and save it under the same licence? Does that mean I could use it on {{Template:Jct}} (replacing the use of File:BC-5.svg)? --MuzikMachine (talk) 16:32, 30 August 2018 (UTC)

• File:BC Yellowhead blank.svg and File:Yellowhead Blank.svg and replace the use of File:YellowheadShield.jpg in articles.

Need help with: Permission for upload of paintings given by Artist himself

I request the OTRS volunteers to check if the correct licensing information have been given in the following uploads to Wikimedia Commons and if the template PermissionOTRS|id=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX can be applied.

The uploads are images of paintings by Artist Mumbiram, who has also published the paintings on his website www.mumbiram.com

Emails for OTRS have been sent and received ticket numbers, which are given here. The email has been sent from the copyright holder (Artist Mumbiram) from his email address: mumbiram@yahoo.de, which is also the email associated with the website, www.mumbiram.com, where the file has been initially published.

Photo verification issues

Can someone take a look at these files:

• File:Kristina_(Superhero_Landing).png
• File:LIFEFORM_by_Visual_Organization.png
• File:Vasily_Levanov.png

They have been uploaded a couple of weeks ago, and an email with permission has been sent.

My co-worker uploaded some files to Commons earlier this month, and it usually takes several hours for them to be verified.

In my case, it’s been more than two weeks, and I wonder if something wrong with these files or my request. Can someone take a look and tell me how to get these files to be verified, thanks, Alex. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alexey Fargotov (talk • contribs) 13:31, 20 September 2018 (UTC)

It's summertime, holidays in Germany, because I would not clear images delete when we are already talking to the customers. Generally I would like to say that the admin does not press the delete button so fast, if the OTRS team is on it. It just means more work because I have to ask an admin every time.
Es ist Sommerzeit, Ferien in Deutschland, da würde ich nicht unbeding Bilder löschen wenn wir schon mit den Kunden im Gespräch sind.

Hi!

On a big project like Commons, admins don't always know what images are handled by OTRS agents and at the moment we have a backlog until April. But to make clear that you uploaded a picture to Commons about which you'd like to converse with an OTRS Agents, please use {{subst:OP}}, so Admins know about the situation.

Is the string "Ticket#2014061110003331" on these three file description pages created by J. Patrick Fischer in 2014 a reference to a valid OTRS ticket? The file descriptions don't have any actual OTRS tags on them, which I'd expect them to have if the ticket was reviewed and approved. —LX (talk, contribs) 21:34, 1 August 2018 (UTC)

I loaded up several photos of Mr. Cruz on this date. The others have got a valid permission. I do not know, why there is another ticket number on this three files, maybe because two emails were send by Mr Cruz for permission and the older one doesn't have a license mention, so maybe there were two tickets open. The correct ticket number is 2014061110017719. Can you fix it? (Please mention my name or leave me a message, if there are further questions). --JPF (talk) 06:59, 2 August 2018 (UTC)

I've merged the two tickets to ticket:2014061110003331 since they are about the same set of images. Nine images listed here were included in the ticket.

The purpose of providing source information is to enable checking that the copyright information is correct. And for OTRS volunteers to confirm a permission, the permission obviously needs to identify the content in question. Perhaps it would be possible to give an OTRS volunteer access to the image, or to change the privacy settings of the image? In any case, it sounds like additional correspondence will be needed. —LX (talk, contribs) 16:06, 4 August 2018 (UTC)

OTRS permission before upload? How would this work?

Hi

I know that there is a significant delay in OTRS permissions being granted and that this is causing issues with images being deleted. Is there a way that an outside organisation who was not overly familiar with Wikimedia could:

1. Apply for OTRS permission for a batch of images on an external website before uploading them? How would this work? What should they say? What should they add to their uploads to make it work once they have the permission?
2. Apply for OTRS permission for a batch of images which aren't online before they are uploaded to Commons? How would this work?

I'm currently working on documentation on uploads and would really like to offer simple and easy to follow step by step advice that makes it easier for them to share images with Wikimedia and makes OTRS volunteers' jobs as easy as possible. I'm also very happy to work on documentation on OTRS pages to include this information.

Thanks very much

John Cummings (talk) 20:30, 21 August 2018 (UTC)

Hi John Cummings , if the images have not been previously published (either online or offline), they do not need to go through OTRS procedure. The copyright holder can simply upload them to Wikimedia Commons and release all the associated rights when uploading.

But if the images have been published somewhere else, they still can be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons and if the uploader tags them with {{subst:OP}}, they will not be deleted before an OTRS agent handles the ticket. So there is no need to send a permission statement before uploading the images to Commons. 4nn1l2 (talk) 03:37, 22 August 2018 (UTC)

Hi @4nn1l2: , thanks very much for your reply, this has not been my experience, images get deleted despite having an OTRS pending template. Could you tell me if there is a way of getting the OTRS permission before uploading the content? Thanks John Cummings (talk) 10:24, 22 August 2018 (UTC)

@John Cummings: No, that is not possible, as far as I know. If I were to handle such tickets, my very first response would be "what image on Commons are you talking about".

But let me say again that {{subst:OP}} works! Please take a look at Category:OTRS pending. There are images uploaded on 4 April 2018 and not deleted yet. There are 140 (133 + 7) days between 4 April and today. 133 is our current backlog which is updated regularly at Commons:OTRS/backlog, and 7 is {{Npd}}'s respite. 4nn1l2 (talk) 11:20, 22 August 2018 (UTC)

@4nn1l2: , thanks for clarifying, in the OTRS release generator it gives two options:

1. Files already uploaded to Wikimedia Commons

2. Attach the file to the email

How do it work when people attach the file to the email? Does the OTRS person just provide a template with the OTRS number which is added to the files when the are uploaded?

John Cummings (talk) 14:17, 22 August 2018 (UTC)

@John Cummings: Typically, when they attach the file, they don't provide enough information to fill out {{Information}} properly, so we have to ask for that information. Once we have the information (which sometimes happens in the initial message), we can upload for them (including {{PermissionOTRS}}) or encourage them to upload for themselves. If they upload, we then apply {{PermissionOTRS}}.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 14:45, 22 August 2018 (UTC)

One follow up question, if the organisation sent an email to OTRS saying 'everything a specific user uploads from our collection is us uploading it' is that possible? Would you then give an OTRS number which they would add to every upload? John Cummings (talk) 14:26, 22 August 2018 (UTC)

File:Amulette Vietnam XVIII 1ar (14275014536).jpg

I just got a notification 🔔 that File:Amulette Vietnam XVIII 1ar (14275014536).jpg received an OTRS ticket, however this file was imported from Flickr (then a Verizon property) by me and as one can see in the item description this file is already accurately licensed.

Validity of OTRS tickets

Apparently an OTRS ticket can be valid and non-valid at the same time. Do admins decide if an OTRS ticket is not valid? Or do I just misunderstand the validity of an OTRS ticket? Vysotsky (talk) 19:07, 3 November 2018 (UTC)

Charlotte Auerbach and Vote 100 ribbons images

Hi, I've been discussing some recently deleted images with Jcb regarding OTRS permissions for an image of Charlotte Auerbach released by the University of Edinburgh's Centre for Research Collections and multiple images related to Vote 100 from the City of Edinburgh Council Museums and Galleries. The discussion is here. The Charlotte Auerbach image was deleted from Commons as no permission had been received within 30 days but the release was sent on 7 May 2018 and is in the OTRS queue to be processed. Nico Tyack, Collections Officer at City of Edinburgh Council Museums and Galleries has resent permission for the deleted Vote 100 images yesterday. So would it be possible for someone to take a look at these deletions and see if they can be restored? @Mike Peel: is this something you could take a look at? Want to make sure this all goes through okay as we are using the Vote 100 images as part of a showcase Histropedia timeline on one of the giant smart tables at the entrance to the University Collections. Any assistance would be gratefully received, Stinglehammer (talk) 13:05, 23 August 2018 (UTC)

Ticket has been handled and the permission is unfortunately invalid. Jcb (talk) 14:27, 23 August 2018 (UTC)

Hi both. I can't access either of those links so can't tell what has happened or why the permission is invalid. Plus are we talking about the Charlotte Auerbach image OR the Vote 100 images or both? Can you explain more as to what has happened? Or let me know how one can become an OTRS agent so I can see what's happening for myself as ultimately we would like to see these images released on Commons and a lot more from both University of Edinburgh's Centre for Research Collections and the City of Edinburgh Council's Museum and Galleries. very best, Stinglehammer (talk) 11:29, 24 August 2018 (UTC)

@Stinglehammer: Ticket:2018050710007885 is about the Charlotte Auerbach image (our customer is trying to find the rightful heir of the photographer's copyright) and Ticket:2018082210004746 is about the Vote 100 images (internal discussion is inconclusive).

koreanet Flickr stream and ticket #2014070110000717

Hi. There seems to be some past scattered discussions regarding images from the koreanet Flickr stream and/or tagged with {{Korea.net}}. Many seem to concern images tagged with incompatible licences on Flickr, but I couldn't find a clear answer as to whether we have confirmation that images such as this, which are tagged CC-BY-SA on Flickr but have seemingly conflicting information in the caption ("The photograph may not be manipulated in any way") are indeed okay for Commons. Does the OTRS ticket mention whether the specified Flickr licence indeed overrides the caption text? --Paul_012 (talk) 16:36, 5 November 2018 (UTC)

@Jeff G.: Thanks, but please note that in File:Richard Ellis-49 copy.jpg, he is not showing teeth, while in en:File:Richard Ellis.jpg he is - so it's different pictures. Still, though, the uploader of both images is Rsellis (talk · contribs), so if he has authenticated himself in the OTRS ticket, that should be sufficient for us to accept the second image? --B (talk) 06:41, 30 August 2018 (UTC)

Ticket:2018091810001086

File:BIANCHINI EDUARDO serigrafia.jpg (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Could this ticket be reviewed by an OTRS volunteer to check what further information about the release can be published on Commons? The drawing detail appears oddly enhanced, presumably through digital manipulation, rather than purely an original scan of a drawing. For the copyright release to be correct the information supplied in the ticket should be more than guesswork of the current possessor of the drawing, in particular the drawing must have been created before 1896 and the artist should be unknown/unknowable through research. Though the subject of the drawing died in 1896, it is possible that this may have been an artist's impression after Bianchini's death, possibly based on portrait photographs, as an etching for later publications.

I have raised the question with @Ruthven: who uploaded this image 12 days after the ticket was received and validated it with an OTRS ticket on-wiki 2 days later. However no further factual information has been added to the image page that would satisfy the normal requirements of visibility per COM:L.

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.

File:James Baumgartner.jpeg

The licensing of the image File:James Baumgartner.jpeg was reviewed by one admin and was verified. However, the source says "Copyright: George M. Bergman, Berkeley" instead of "Copyright: MFO". I would like to manually change this to OTRS tag, but I'd rather play safe instead. George Ho (talk) 23:17, 4 November 2018 (UTC)

@George Ho: MFO credits George M. Bergman, Berkeley. Do you have an OTRS ticket? Why do you think you need one?   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 23:24, 4 November 2018 (UTC)

Photos by Bergman are mostly tagged with OTRS; here's one of them at Category:Pictures from Oberwolfach Photo Collection (Bergman). George Ho (talk) 23:26, 4 November 2018 (UTC)

@George Ho: Ok, I've now read all the tickets at Category:Pictures from Oberwolfach Photo Collection (Bergman). If you uploaded this file (or overwrite it in the future at higher resolution), you could use {{George Bergman permission}}. As it is, I have decided that Ticket:2008042410024381 is most appropriate, and tagged the file accordingly.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 23:52, 4 November 2018 (UTC)

This image is a smaller version of one on the Australian Financial Review site, https://www.afr.com/business/gina-rinehart-says-she-pays-more-tax-than-any-other-australian-20181031-h17d56 - now, that site says their image was "contributed", so it doesn't completely rule out that our uploader is actually the copyright owner, but it does make it highly less likely. If it weren't submitted to OPTRS, I'd be nominating it for deletion now. But it is. So, could whoever looks at the OTRS email please make sure they get a good explanation of the reason why the one submitted to us is both a cropped version and a lower resolution than the one sent to the AFR?

Ticket#2018061410000947 - Noting image permission for Phenomenauts Rebecca Lynn photo

Hello, I had a ticket in the OTRS queue to confirm a photographer's permission for photo licensing. The photographer kindly updated the license for the photo on their Flickr page to release it under CC-BY-SA. I sent an email to OTRS on September 22 to note the updated license and permission. My understanding was that I should wait for the OTRS queue to read through the email and confirm. However, I see the image was recently deleted as it was past a 30 day mark.

Should I do anything now to ask about this ticket, or request OTRS confirmation of the license? Is it better for you if I simply re-upload the image, now that it is licensed under CC-BY-SA? Originally I made a copy of the image, and edited it to remove sensitive personal information, so I had sent the email to OTRS to keep it somewhat private.

Thanks, let me know what you feel is best. --Culix (talk) 03:43, 29 November 2018 (UTC)

Wikimedia Wishlist proposal for OTRS - comments requested

Every year the Wikimedia Foundation hosts a wishlist survey. Anyone can wish for a technical tool, and the Wikimedia Foundation staff build out the top 10 requests. See the program at

• Community Wishlist Survey 2019

The submission period ends tomorrow, Sunday 11 November. There is discussion and voting period after this.

I made a request this year for "Easy talk page posts by email", a form which OTRS agents could send back to people who write in. Anyone who completes the form gets the text of their email posted to a Wikipedia talk page. The target audience are people who are making edit requests to Wikipedia articles by OTRS.

The request is at

• Easy talk page posts by email

I would appreciate any comments from OTRS agents on this. Feel free to post criticism or any thoughts.

I posted this to try to identify ways to get more value out of the OTRS system while also reducing the labor investment by OTRS agents. Blue Rasberry (talk) 19:40, 10 November 2018 (UTC)

• Re: ticket:2018122610004632. Krdbot has tagged some but not all of User:Pedro Meier's uploads as OTRS received. If the ticket covers all of the user's uploads, could someone tag the rest?

About using photographs I would like to use Hungarian border fence photos on Japanese documentary programs. It is a program on the theme of the world's borders. This time is the border theme of Croatia and Serbia. Among them, there is a story about refugees. It is about Balkan route.

Multiple permissions via email

Hi,

Some days ago I uploaded a file and sent the permission to OTRS and was accepted. In that email the author was includinmg several pictures that I plan to upload in the next weeks. How can I refer to the original ticket when uploading the file to avoid hassle to teh Wikimedia community resending the same email once and again for the different pictures?

Thanks, Junta (talk) 19:36, 30 November 2018 (UTC)

Ticket:2018020710009647

I would like to know the current state (result) of the permission, associated w the above mentioned ticket#, which was sent already in February this year for the files File:Männerquartett Eupen 1959.jpg, File:Männerquartett Eupen 1959 (2).jpg, File:Plattenhülle Männerquartett Eupen DNB 30.005.jpg, File:Willy Mommer, jun..jpg, File:Willy Mommer, jun. (2).jpg, which were subject of this archived discussion Commons:OTRS/Noticeboard/archive/2018#Bilder_Mommer and were said to be in discussion on July 1st. Though the permission had been sent far longer ago than the current 200 days-backlog, both the uploader and the picture donor still don't know the result of the discussion/evaluation or what might still be missing for a valid permission. --Túrelio (talk) 13:18, 16 December 2018 (UTC)

The ticket is in German, so a German-speaking agent will have to speak to the actual content of the ticket. The ticket is currently open and unlocked in permissions-de, which appears to have a slightly longer backlog than permissions-commons. The most recent reply from an OTRS agent was four days ago. --AntiCompositeNumber (talk) 13:43, 16 December 2018 (UTC)

Túrelio: This ticket was last answered mid-December and is quite complex. I have pinged the owner of the ticket to see if he has some time to handle it, otherwise I could take over. As far as I've seen, we received an appropriate permission statement for one file (at least), but it was received only in August, not February (FYI). --AntonierCH ^(d) 19:21, 6 January 2019 (UTC)

Cher @AntonierCH: Grand Merci pour votre intervention dans l’histoire complexe de l’autorisation de publication des photos de la page Willy Mommer. En effet c’est une longue histoire dont je vous épargne les antécédents. Par contre il est assuré que l’acquittement des droits d’auteur de la photo de Willy Mommer de la part du seul héritier du photographe Felix Vanderheyden a été envoyée en bonne et due forme à Permission au début du mois d’août par ce seul héritier Bernard Vanderheyden. 5 mois après toujours pas de réinsertion. Je vous prie donc de bien vouloir faire le nécessaire pour réinsérer cette photo sur la page de Willy Mommer junior. Les autres photos citées par vous seront libérées dès que les recherches concernant les photographes adéquats et/ou leurs ayants-droit seront menées à bien, ce qui nous amène dans les archives d’Arezzo en Toscane et de Rome. En attendant, quelques autres photos relatives aux différentes facettes (pianiste, compositeur, résistant et espion pour les alliés) de la personnalité de Willy Mommer seront insérées par moi. Il s’agit soit de photos ANOnYMES publiées pour la première fois il y a plus de 70 ans soit de photos prises par moi-même du vivant de Willy Momler. Je ne manquerai dès lirs pas d’envoyer l’acquittement des droits d’auteur via le formulaire à Permissions. J’espère qu’ainsi tout sera clair. Merci de votre attention User: Dolores18/Dolores18 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dolores18 (talk • contribs) 18:08, 11 January 2019 (UTC)

Dear AntonierCH

Great thanks for your intervention in the complex story of permission to post photos from the Willy Mommer page. Indeed it is a long story of which I spare you the antecedents. On the other hand, it is assured that the copyright of Willy Mommer's photo from the sole heir of photographer Felix Vanderheyden was sent in due form to Permission at the beginning of August by this alone. heir Bernard Vanderheyden. 5 months after still no reintegration. I would therefore like you to take the necessary steps to reinsert this photo on the page of Willy Mommer Junior. The other photos mentioned by you will be released as soon as the research concerning the suitable photographers and / or their successors is completed, which brings us to the archives of Arezzo in Tuscany and Rome.

In the meantime, some other photos related to the different facets (pianist, composer, resistant and spy for allies) of the personality of Willy Mommer will be inserted by me. These are either ANY pictures published for the first time over 70 years ago or photos taken by myself during the lifetime of Willy Momler. I will not fail to send the copyright clearance via the form to Permissions. I hope that everything will be clear. Thank you for your attention

Here follows a timeline:

6 February 2018 A bunch of files regarding Willy Mommer including File:Männerquartett Eupen 1959.jpg were uploaded and evidently tagged {{subst:OP}} by ArthurMcGill on behalf of Marie-Claire Mommer.

7 February 2018 Ticket:2018020710009647 was initiated by Marie-Claire Mommer as Dolores18 with an email message that included conflicting license numbers. She later posted a copy of her email message into the first discussion.

Private correspondence ensued.

22 April 2018 the files were deleted by JuTa for "No OTRS permission since 2018-02-06".

5 May 2018 ArthurMcGill started the first discussion Commons:OTRS/Noticeboard/archive/2018#Bilder Mommer about the ticket, basically wanting status. Dolores18 posted a copy of her email message into it.

20 June 2018 the files were restored for analysis by Emha per the ticket, and Marie-Claire Mommer was asked three questions (about authors identification, authors years of death if dead, and authors contact information if alive) to clarify the copyright situation.

25-30 June 2018 Marie-Claire Mommer replied multiple times with much information, once in a new ticket.

1 July 2018 Ruthven closed the first discussion because the ticket had been answered.

20 July 2018 the files were deleted by Jcb for "No OTRS permission for 30 days".

31 July 2018 Marie-Claire Mommer was asked for further clarification, was given instructions for an heir of one of the authors to send permission directly, and replied incompletely.

19 August 2018 Bernard Vanderheyden sent heir permission for one photo by Felix Vanderheyden in a pdf file in new ticket without specifying the filename it applied to.

6 December 2018 Marie-Claire Mommer asked for status.

12 December 2018 We found and incorporated the new tickets, emailed, and got a reply.

16 December 2018 This section ensued.

I have just connected File:Plattenhülle Männerquartett Eupen DNB 30.005.jpg as file c to Felix Vanderheyden and requested undeletion for it at COM:UDR#File:Plattenhülle Männerquartett Eupen DNB 30.005.jpg.

The ticket does not specifically release that image. However, based on the circumstances, I don't think there is significant doubt about the source or copyright status of this file, and can be kept. --AntiCompositeNumber (talk) 23:44, 21 November 2018 (UTC)

The photo was posted on her Twitter account (@kylienicolep) more than a year ago, and I'm glad that it is so unique that is why I use to use the photos from her personal Twitter account instead from her Facebook and Instagram accounts.

Request from "14.10.2018 um 20:42 Uhr" and Ticket#2018071510002076

• ticket:2018071510002076: I have sent additional information on 20th september, and that email was received, but nothing happened since then. It should be easy, as the ticket only references a legal assesment by WMDE. I really hope, that this can now be resolved, so that I can concentrate on the new ticket below.
• Request from yesterday: I have sent the request yesterday (20:42 CET, from c.suthorn address to permissions-de). The mail was sent successfully, but I did not get a reply with a ticket number. The request contains proof a a press accredition to an event, and I do not want to upload files before the ticket has been verified. One of the files shows an author signing her autobiography. The author has articles in various languages on wikipedia, but with newest foto from 2014. The book has an article in the english wikipedia, but with a fair-use picture only. Other language versions may soon have articles, as the book has been translated and may soon become a bestseller.

Ich werde nicht auf Zuruf alle möglichen Tickets an der Warteschlange vorbeiziehen und dafür andere Leute länger warten lassen. Das Ticket wird bearbeitet werden, wenn es dran ist.

OTRS ist schlicht ein chinesisches Zimmer. Dass es zu wenig OTRS-Mitarbeiter gibt, um die Tickets zeitnah abzuarbeiten, ist mir klar. Wie OTRS funktioniert, nicht. Werden die Tickets chronologisch abgearbeitet oder nicht, bleibt ein Ticket beim immer gleichen Bearbeiter, wie laesst sich erkennen, ob ein Ticket haengt, oder einfach nur auf Bearbeitung wartet. Die einzige von aussen zugaengliche info ist eine Tageszaahl, die sich auf die englische Bearbeitungsschlange bezieht. Dann gibt es noch auf einem Server bunte Grafiken, die ich nicht interpretieren kann, und die Kategorie OTRS pending, der taeglich eine Tageskategorie hinzugefuegt wird, bei der aber solange ich darauf schaue keine alten Tageskategorien verschwinden, oder die Anzahl der Eintraege geringer wuerde. Was darin steht (in Bearbeitung befindliche Eintraege, noch nicht angesehene, solche die haengen, oder aufgegeben wurden) ist nicht ersichtlich. Es waere einfach durch ein DB-Tool statistische Inforamtionen und den Status von einzelnen Tickets anzuzeigen, das wuerde auch die OTRS-Mitgleider entlasten, da dann eine Reihe Fragen auf dieser Seite entfallen wuerden. Bedenklich ist die lange Bearbeitungszeit, wenn eine Person, die selber nicht an Wikipedia mitarbeitet eine Frigabe erteilt und dann erst nach ueber hundert Tagen Rueckfragen erhaelt und dann ggf nicht mehr erreichbar ist oder sich mit einer erteilten Freigabe nicht weiter arbeitsmaessig belasten moechte. Zu meinem Ticket: Ich hatte dich so verstanden, dass Du es wohl zumachen willst (oder als gegenstandslos ansiehst). Dem hatte ich widersprochen, aber auch darumgebeten die OTRS-angefordert Bausteine aus den Artikeln zu entfernen (durch Dich oder ein anderes OTRS-Mitglied, aber nciht durch mich, da die Entfernung dieser Bausteine durch ein nicht-OTRS-Mitglied Fragen aufwirft und wiederum Mehrarbeit statt Entlsstung bedeutet. Das wuerde auch die Laenge des Backlogsverkuerzen und die Kategorie OTRS pending entlasten, da es immerhin um 69 Dateien geht, die dort alle aufgefuehrt sind. --C.Suthorn (talk) 06:16, 16 October 2018 (UTC)

Du brauchst nur an die auf der oben verlinkten Website angegebene Emailadresse eine Mail (deutschsprachig, da ja Bern/CH) schicken, in der du dich ganz normal als Wikipedia/Commons-Volunteer/Ehrenamtler vorstellst und dann den "Fall" schilderst: d.h., jemand hat vor ca. 1 Jahr die 2 genannten Fotos von der Berner Website hochgeladen, dabei aber nicht beachtet, dass deren kommerzielle Nutzung verboten ist, auf Wikipedia/Commons aber nur Bilder hochgeladen werden dürfen (COM:L), die grundsätzlich auch zur kommerziellen Nutzung freigegeben sind. Im konkreten Fall der beiden Portraits ist deren strikt kommerzielle Nutzung allerdings sowieso aufgrund der bestehenden Persönlichkeitsrechte der Abgebildeten eingeschränkt. D.h., selbst wenn die unter einer CC-BY-Lizenz stehen sollten, dürften sie nicht z.B. für werbliche Poster/Anzeigen o.ä. verwendet werden, weil dafür die ausdrückliche Zustimmung der Abgebildeten erforderlich ist. Das solltest du durchaus erwähnen (dient der Beruhigung und stimmt auch). Es sollte aber klar werden, dass die zu erteilende Genehmigung nicht "nur für Wikipedia" gelten darf. Deshalb sicherheitshalber in deiner Mail noch diese Genehmigungs-Vorlage einkopieren, in die du vorher die Datennamen der beiden Bilder einkopierst und den Lizenzgeber bittest, es an permissions-commons-de@wikimedia.org zurückzumailen (mit CC an dich). --Túrelio (talk) 07:31, 31 October 2018 (UTC)

Honestly, even knowing that in 2006 the OTRS system had different criteria than now, I have difficulties in accepting this as a valid permission. I do some investigation before coming back to you. --Ruthven (msg) 20:34, 27 December 2018 (UTC)

Question about Crownest Highway shields

Hello,

I was looking at the files for the Crowsnest Highway (Alberta: en:File:Alberta Highway 3 (Crowsnest).svg; British Columbia: en:File:British Columbia Highway 3.svg) and they're currently listed as non-free. In reviewing the online sign catalogues from both Alberta (p 5) and British Columbia (p 5), I can't really find anything indicating they're copyrighted. Is it possible to upload the images to Wikimedia Commons? Cheers! -- MuzikMachine (talk) 18:37, 8 November 2018 (UTC)

@MuzikMachine: Files are always copyrighted at creation-time. They enter into the public domain 70 years after the death pf the author, generally, unless specified differently. However, in this case, a lot of signs seem to be too simple to be protected (all the ones without a drawing); but we need some advice from users that deal with this stuff often. Try bringing this question to the Village pump. --Ruthven (msg) 18:19, 10 March 2019 (UTC)

ticket:2018062010007572 (Bob Reis from Anything Anywhere)

Bob Reis from the website Anything Anywhere has sent an e-mail to the Wikimedia OTRS team giving permission for a few very specific pages on his website, due to the nature of his website (being a commercial business) I had made a deal with him that I would ask permission per page (or pages) and that he would evaluate permission to be released under free licenses based on several circumstances, usually if I would also use some of his images in a Wikipedia article and kept him up to date on it, the licenses however are free for re-use but as I would ask him separately per a number of pages I prefer that if an OTRS template for uploading his images would be created that it would be something alongside Template:Anything Anywhere1 so it could leave room for a future Template:Anything Anywhere2. I know that the backlog is 99 (ninety-nine) days so I have no hurry with this ticket being processed (also I am working on several huge projects on Wikipedia and have to import images from earlier tickets anyhow), however when it is processed could the agent who processed the ticket leave a message on my talk page with the template I should use for every upload? --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 20:06, 24 June 2018 (UTC)

Oh yeah, these separate templates for separate permissions should probably all organise into the same maintenance category (Category:Media contributed by Bob Reis (Anything Anywhere)) if possible so they can be grouped together, but as the permission will essentially be either per page or per group of pages each ticket should have its own template. --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 20:35, 30 June 2018 (UTC)

@Donald Trung: Please advise if this issue is still unresolved. --Krd 06:26, 10 July 2019 (UTC)

200 days backlog

Today the OTRS reached 200 days backlog. And when I look to his history its growing in average of 2 days every 2 days. I dont know how many very old tickets are in the queue, but it might be an idea if one or several agents could search for them and work on these (hopefully only a few) tickets to reduce the number of days strongly. Just an idea. regards. --JuTa 08:26, 19 December 2018 (UTC)

Meanwhile several editors are on deletion binges, posting notices to hundreds of images that they will be deleted in 7 days unless they get processed for OTRS! Is everyone aware of what's going on with that? How many images we're losing that should have been given a little more time to for things to be fixed? Is it a problem? --SergeWoodzing (talk) 16:14, 19 December 2018 (UTC)

You would not believe how many permissions emails don’t get sent until the image is deleted and somebody notices that it’s not there anymore. —AntiCompositeNumber (talk) 17:35, 19 December 2018 (UTC)

That's true. But you would also not believe how many users get frustrated because of this process. They upload an image, request permission from the copyright holder, send an OTRS request, get an answer ("message received, please wait till we've looked at your request"), see their image deleted and removed from the Wiki article, complain, get a fresh answer ("OTRS has a backlog, so that it may take some time. As soon as an OTRS agent handles a valid permission, they will take care of undeletion") and look around in utter disbelief. Why can't we sync these processes? The least we could do is to stop deleting images for which an OTRS request has been received. Or am I missing a point? Vysotsky (talk) 20:20, 19 December 2018 (UTC)

THANK YOU!!! (Please forgive my screaming so ungodlily loud, but I couldn't stop myself when seeing someone finally agree.) The project is sorely amiss with this, urgently in big trouble, and a solution is urgently needed to the overly drastic deletion frenzy. If someone figured out how to effectively sabotage Commons, what's going on right now would be optimal. --SergeWoodzing (talk) 20:30, 19 December 2018 (UTC)

I'll note that images tagged with {{OTRS received|reason=processing}} are not deleted after 7 days, but 30 instead. The issue is that going through and tagging images with this would double the work we have to do to process the queue. TheDragonFire (talk) 01:57, 20 December 2018 (UTC)

Krdbot does add OTRS recieved if it can find the ticket, but that doesn't happen in every case. --AntiCompositeNumber (talk) 01:59, 20 December 2018 (UTC)

I was going to start working on some tickets, although I realized that I can't view the images that were deleted (which is basically all of the ones in the backlog), and thus cannot verify the permission. Is there any remedy to this? Vermont (talk) 00:08, 20 December 2018 (UTC)

Well, those images shouöd normaly not get deleted. They got hold for as minimum of Commons:OTRS/backlog + 7 days. Currently the oldest pending category is from 28. May which is 207 days ago. Maybe the {{OTRS pending}} was missing on the decription pages. Vermont, if you name them, I can (temporariry) restore those files. --JuTa 02:56, 20 December 2018 (UTC)

I added ", and then tag the subject file(s) with {{subst:OP}}" to Template:Email templates/Consent/en the previous day, so the situation for non-Admins should start getting better. It's down to 199 days 4 hours now.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 07:04, 20 December 2018 (UTC)

Another problem I've noticed, that increases the unaddressed numbers, though not often the oldest tickets, is that several permission emails are duplicates for the same image/s sent without using the receipt ticket number, so they generate a new ticket unconnected to the original request ticket. It may not be noticed or starts the whole process over with another agent, and despite requests to only use one ticket number, they don't, and there is little we can do about it. Ww2censor (talk) 10:43, 21 December 2018 (UTC)

@Ww2censor: We can review all the tickets sent by a particular customer when viewing a ticket by clicking "People" and then "Customer", and then merge as appropriate.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 10:59, 21 December 2018 (UTC)

Thanks, I know that and sometimes use it. It's still a problem we have to deal with. Ww2censor (talk) 11:06, 21 December 2018 (UTC)

• An easier solution would be recruiting more members, I wanted to suggest to the Wikimedia Foundation to set up a stand for OTRS recruitment at the last Wikimania but I have no idea how to contact them, also adding it to a newsletter every 3 (three) months could help, when this year started the backlog was less than a month, so it's better to have too much (trusted) members than too little, also one could try to contact former members if they're willing to help again. ----Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 08:24, 25 December 2018 (UTC)
• It would be also be helpful if there was a public page that has a table with three columns for ticket number, last date of action, and status (open, pending, waiting for user mail, waiting for action by otrs member, closed, rejected, granted). In the case of my ticket [Ticket#2018071510002076], I gave additional requested information on 20th september and I have no idea, if I need to do anything more, because I am sure I gave all the needed information. --C.Suthorn (talk) 13:26, 25 December 2018 (UTC)

• I think we must remove the "30 days" from Template:OTRS received. I have seen some files deleted at 30 days. Also although the backlog is 199 days - that's for the English queue, some of the other language queues have even bigger backlogs. Ronhjones  ^(Talk) 00:41, 26 December 2018 (UTC)
  • I concur. At :en, we do the greater of 30 days or backlog + 7 days and en:user:B-bot tags them accordingly. Deleting things when there is a 6-month backlog just leads to hurt feelings. --B (talk) 15:24, 26 December 2018 (UTC)
    • @Ronhjones: @B: Are you aware that files with {OTRS received} are being deleted 30 days after our first response, not 30 days after being tagged? For the past several years I have been the one who usually handles this process. I always open the ticket. If it is still unanswerred, I reset the timer. example. If there was a response but not yet 30 days ago, I reset the timer to the date of first response. I don't think that anything should be changed here. Jcb (talk) 21:05, 26 December 2018 (UTC)
      • @Jcb: , a problem with that is that sometimes a copyright holder sends in a new email creating a new ticket. Or the agent who was handling it gets busy and doesn't handle the response, putting it back out into the backlog. Ideally, anything that has been in the {{OTRS received}} state less time than the backlog shouldn't be deleted unless either someone has reviewed it and is certain that we're not going to get an acceptable statement of permission, or unless someone has searched and made sure that no follow-up has been received. --B (talk) 21:28, 26 December 2018 (UTC)
        • Such a change would paralyse the process completely, leaving a lot of copyright violations online in an attempt to save a relatively small number of files that may be undeleted anyway as soon as the new ticket has been handled. Jcb (talk) 21:36, 26 December 2018 (UTC)
          • Maybe there is a way to separate out the "really reviewed" from the not really reviewed images. If Krdbot tags an image as {{OTRS received}} but no human has ever even looked at it, deleting it after 30 days doesn't seem to be helpful. But if a reply has been sent and we never hear back, then that's different. --B (talk) 00:28, 27 December 2018 (UTC)
            • Yes, that is the current situation. If a file has been tagged by Krdbot but there was no human response to the ticket by an OTRS agent, I reset the timer of the tag instead of deleting the file. Jcb (talk) 22:29, 27 December 2018 (UTC)

The current progress of undeletion is not user-friendly; creating new requests one by one (and checking that the user is an OTRS-agent or not) cots a lot of time. Why do not we make the undeletion tool smarter? Here is what I think: there would be a button for OTRS-agents (the tool or an AbuseFilter would check that the user is an agent or not). The tool would ask the name of the file and the ticket number, than it would create the request with a “verify me” link (ping Jeff G., who is using similar format). It would cost just few clicks and less than a minute, but it would make our work much-much easier. What do you think? Bencemac (talk) 20:50, 26 December 2018 (UTC)

I was invited here. IMO the OTRS/Wiki image release system is just not up to the job. Women in Red publishes 100 of articles about women without photos. Why? These people are alive and only too pleased to send us a picture and we are 99.9% certain that we are talking to the right person and the picture is either a selfie (or very similar). There are notable/busy people. We can just about convince them that their twitter image is copyright.... but we tell them that they are going to have to send emails to prove who they are who they say they are and then they lose interest.... and I must admit I do too. We have keen editors who are trying to add pictures which everyone knows are OK, but they are accused and hounded as if they have some hidden reason for wanting to help our project. (Not only that our gatekeepers seem to take pride in deleting donated content because it MIGHT (in some strange unreasonable parallel universe) "breaks the rules"). I don't use OTRS and I cannot recommend it even to people who think they may be able to use it (no one has that much patience). It doesnt need fixing it needs rethinking and reinventing. Sadly I don't think that commons will the heir apparent to PD archiving. I am optimistic that another group will fork our content and create a better resource with a rethought way of adding new pictures, films, sounds and 3D scans. I do hope so. This job is worth doing. Commons is a great resource and was a great idea. Victuallers (talk) 11:17, 27 December 2018 (UTC)

Is it an unimaginable thought that we stop deleting any and all images which admins judge that they look like they will pass OTRS requirements, until time catches up and makes the whole process work again, giving uploaders a fair chance to conform? This (unless I'm mistaken, as I often am) is a good example of an image that someone claims is his, of himself, now deleted only because of the backlog. And this talk page, where a person with a limited enough command of English that it's hard to communicate with h at all, while that person is causing the deletion of a huge amount of images in 7 days after h/s tags them, to me is very scary. --SergeWoodzing (talk) 20:48, 27 December 2018 (UTC)

@SergeWoodzing: No, this is a good example of the process working just fine. We responded to the ticket 25 November, but we never heared back from the client, so that the file has been deleted 26 December. Jcb (talk) 22:35, 27 December 2018 (UTC)

Each year around chistmas WMF asks for donations and a large part of these donations is used for campaigns to attract new authors, espacially women. As Victuallers pointed out above the otrs backlog scares away this possible authors. Wouldn't it therefore not be a good idea, if WMF used part of this money to employ paid otrs members (and if it only was for half a year to get rid of the backlog) - this might do more for a wider authors base than any women in red edit-a-thon. I also like to come back to my idea of a status/statistics page: Even so the "owner" of my unanswered ticket has been pinged, I am still ignorant about what might be wrong with the ticket (happy new year, btw). --C.Suthorn (talk) 21:42, 27 December 2018 (UTC)

No, a backlog is not a problem at all. "Please patiently wait until an OTRS agent handles the ticket. If an OTRS agent handles a valid permission, they will take care of undeletion." And then wonder why people think Commons doesn't make sense. Vysotsky (talk) 01:05, 28 December 2018 (UTC)

("The process is working just fine") - When you say "fine" then that means that we missed the chance of sharing a picture with our 1bn users because we pissed off the person who was trying to help us. We wasted everyone's time, But we broke no rules so "The process is working just fine". *What* It needs rethinking. Imagine. I have a procedure agreed by WMF lawyers as imperfect but OK, an email and pic from the donator, a Wikipedian editor in good standing who 99% believes that its all OK and is willing to add it to commons with their reputation on the line if the abuse the process. We can load it, now, today, immediately! The process would work because we take down mistakes (like every other site) and we have a $1m dollar fund to pay out the $2.63 that is owed by the occasional person who can prove that they are the sole heir of a photographer who died 68 years ago and demands that we pay damages. If a site used this process then would you be convinced that the image was PD, I would.... and if I was a judge then I would say that this process was reasonable and law abiding. Victuallers (talk) 11:19, 28 December 2018 (UTC)

Commons isn't "like every other site" - every other site on the planet cares only whether or not they are going to get sued for using the image. We actually only WANT things that are public domain or published under a "free" license. --B (talk) 13:52, 28 December 2018 (UTC)

 Info Permission-commons is under 1400 open tickets, which is minus ~100 tickets in the past days. Of course, some other queues have huge backlogs as well. Bencemac (talk) 15:48, 4 January 2019 (UTC)

Many of the older tickets has been waiting for a replied of the customer over 6 months. See as example: Ticket:2018062510009472, Ticket:2018062710005043, Ticket:2018070110004644... Don't you think is it time to quick close those tickets? I don't think they're going to answer and, if they do, perhaps they do or did in another ticket. Others are waiting the response of an agent, such as Ticket:2018061510001801, Ticket:2018062610000139, Ticket:2018062510009276... --Ganímedes (talk) 22:20, 7 January 2019 (UTC)

Good idea, yes. However, this is just one of the problems: many lenguages we don't have or have few agents actives, lots of spam generating new open tickets by minutes than we cannot erase or close (even the authomatic response system confuses and replies them, as such Ticket:2018091910005599, Ticket:2018100810003046, Ticket:2018102310009441, Ticket:2018110710005697, Ticket:2018120310001286, Ticket:2018120310007968, Ticket:2018121810001991), Ticket:2019010110000871, Ticket:2018102310009441, Ticket:2018120310001286... ), an inefficient system that make hard to see messages, follow messages, find something... As someone says, it's a 10 yr old sofwate and needs lots of patchs. It would be nice if someone request a new software in the next Whishes of the community campaing. --Ganímedes (talk) 23:50, 7 January 2019 (UTC)

Besides, many of the new ticket are attendant immediately, but the oldest stay there. I think our delay is not so if we take this in consideration. --Ganímedes (talk) 23:59, 7 January 2019 (UTC)

@Ganímedes: If it's obvious spam, I don't think that someone speaking that language is really necessary to close it. If it's not spam, and nobody who speaks the language is available, what if we just process it using Google translate? If it is the simplest case where they are pasting the CONSENT form (and we can see it is the consent form using Google translate) and their claim of copyright seems reasonable (someone from the company that likely owns the copyright, etc), why not just process it? Heck, even if it's not the simple case, we could reply in English with a "Google translate" translation. Google translate is good enough these days that, while it may miss the nuances of local idioms or humor, if you use straight forward sentences you're going to get your message across. --B (talk) 12:56, 8 January 2019 (UTC)

Perhaps I'm not been clear. Yes, I know this is spam. Question is: why we get over 4.000 spam tickets open? Why cannot close them as such? Why we even received this? My hotmail or gmail account is able to filter all this, or even avoid them. Instead, we're swimming in tons of spam, forever open, and sometimes (often, I must say) our system answer it. Everybody think this is normal? The system is old and inefficient. --Ganímedes (talk) 13:09, 8 January 2019 (UTC)

I don't know if there is a spam filter at all? If there is, it needs to be a very, very, very, very permissive filter because if someone sends a DMCA takedown notice (which might have a bunch of URLs in it and look spammy), there can't be any chance of the spam filter picking it up. It would be nice if we could blacklist email addresses - there are some newsletters that come in from the same email address every time and if we could simply blacklist them, we could cut down on it a lot. --B (talk) 13:16, 8 January 2019 (UTC)

The system should automatically delete all tikcets in Junk queue after X time (one day, perhaps?). And of course, stop answer them. --Ganímedes (talk) 13:31, 8 January 2019 (UTC)

"The process is working just fine." Well, it isn't. This user (Sarduzo) went to a German Forum on Commons to ask about the procedure (on 12 November), uploaded an image and sent an OTRS request on 14 November (precisely as advised), to see his photo deleted on 15 December by User:Jcb. When he complained, he got the encouraging answer: "As soon as an OTRS agent handles it and the permission turns out to be valid, they will restore the file". Though I can't take a look at the photograph nor at his request, and thus can't judge the validity of the decision, I do have a judgement about the procedure. If we want to chase away good faith users, we need to continue this way: deleting photographs while the OTRS ticket hasn't been handled yet. Vysotsky (talk) 13:14, 8 January 2019 (UTC)

Have you considered volunteering to help with the backlog? --B (talk) 13:19, 8 January 2019 (UTC)

I've been thinking about that too. Since we've got over 100 tickets waiting more than 180 days, delete the files with an OTRS pending is extra unnecesary work. To access validity it's request a restoration, so another request in Noticeboard, wait for an admin... The deletion after 1 moth in this conditions is far unrealistic. --Ganímedes (talk) 13:21, 8 January 2019 (UTC)

(A couple CoE later) Yes, I'm doing exactly so: I've attendant over 75 old tickets this week. Regards. --Ganímedes (talk) 13:21, 8 January 2019 (UTC)

Yeah, I wish we would wait until $BACKLOG days have passed to delete them because it blocks non-admins from being able to process tickets. At :en, I have a bot that automatically tags things that have been {{OTRS pending}} for longer than $BACKLOG days with {{subst:npd}}. I wish we would just do that here - so that humans don't have to make a decision about how long to wait before deleting things. --B (talk)

Totally agree. --Ganímedes (talk) 13:31, 8 January 2019 (UTC)

Thats allready included in the {{OTRS pending}} template. It marks anything "older" than Backlog+7 days with npd. But the value of backlog is just that huge. --JuTa 17:48, 8 January 2019 (UTC)

Update: backlog is now 162 days and there are less than 1 000 tickets in queue permissions-commons. The number of tickets is decreasing. --Arthur Crbz (talk) 10:08, 28 January 2019 (UTC)

Yes, but I don't think is enough. Over 65 months waiting for an aswer, when many (if no most) times permission is wrong or uncomplete it's too long wait, IMHO. Regards. --Ganímedes (talk) 14:47, 28 January 2019 (UTC)

@Ganímedes: That is 5 months 7 days, please check your math.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 14:52, 28 January 2019 (UTC)

Sorry, finger mistake . Regards. --Ganímedes (talk) 14:59, 28 January 2019 (UTC)

We're doing a good job! Increasing the activity in the last month is bringing its fruits, and it's more pleasant to deal with the tickets when the queue is shorter (or lowers quicker). Do not forget to ask to Commons admins to undelete the files that have an OTRS email, in order to check the author and the metadata, if you don't have the rights. Lets carry on! --Ruthven (msg) 17:48, 28 January 2019 (UTC)

@Ganímedes: It takes time to answer all these emails and to reduce the backlog. Just wantes to mention that it's positive to see the backlog reducing. --Arthur Crbz (talk) 21:05, 28 January 2019 (UTC)

Just for your interest: We are back at 200 days backlock - see Commons:OTRS/backlog. --JuTa 07:28, 31 March 2019 (UTC)

Very sad. --SergeWoodzing (talk) 19:32, 31 March 2019 (UTC)

Problem don't change: we're alway the few 5-6 same agents answering everything. Prior to be unactive, the backlog was around 150 days and 800+ tickets to solved. After some months of inactivity of my side, backlog is again in 200 and 1300+ tickets. If the system don't change, it's to me impossible to see how we're going to avoid this. --Ganímedes (talk) 13:55, 21 April 2019 (UTC)

Progress, finally

Now I can say we're under 300 tickets total. Unfortunatelly, we still have many tickets up to 150 days, but It's a progress. --Ganímedes (talk) 14:54, 7 July 2019 (UTC)

File:Mugshot Sofie van den enk.png, ticket ticket:2011112010040412

Permission is highly doubtful. It is a scan, not a photo, it has a very low resolution, and the uploader has a history of trying to submit pictures of the subject with no regards for copyright. Tekstman (talk) 08:16, 24 November 2018 (UTC)

@Tekstman: my money is on "screenshot from analog television". - Alexis Jazz ^{ping plz} 10:03, 24 November 2018 (UTC)

@Tekstman: There is no license version number in that ticket.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 12:37, 24 November 2018 (UTC)

@Tekstman: The email explains it is a picture of a picture he took himself. @Jeff G.: Is that a problem, no license version? It is our standard Dutch template. Ciell (talk) 19:12, 30 December 2018 (UTC)

@Ciell and Drdreetje: That could be a problem if it was challenged in court.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 21:40, 30 December 2018 (UTC)

I checked all our licence pages, but we do state a version number everywhere, though I might not know of another page. @Drdreetje: Can you recall what page you referred the copyright holder to? Just so I can update the text. Ciell (talk) 22:20, 31 December 2018 (UTC)

@Ciell: "a picture of a picture he took himself" does this mean "a picture he took himself of another picture that he didn't take himself", "a picture that was taken of a picture he took himself" or "a picture he took himself of a picture he took himself"? Is there an uncropped version? - Alexis Jazz ^{ping plz} 22:52, 31 December 2018 (UTC)

The last one, "a picture he took himself of a picture he took himself", sorry to be unclear. There's no original file in this 7 year old email conversation, so I'm not sure if there's any sense in a follow-up. Ciell (talk) 23:51, 31 December 2018 (UTC)

@Ciell: sorry to go on about it, but is that your interpretation or is that literally what the ticket says? It wouldn't be the first time someone claims "I TOOK THIS PICTURE!!!" because they, in fact, took a picture.. of someone elses picture. - Alexis Jazz ^{ping plz} 00:08, 1 January 2019 (UTC)

The OTRS agent asked about the poor quality, to which the author replies: "Het is een uitsnede van een foto die ik zelf heb gemaakt." You could interpreted that both ways, now I think of it: "It is a crop of a picture I made/took myself." Ciell (talk) 00:11, 1 January 2019 (UTC)

@Ciell: exactly, that's what I mean.. They may have meant "I created this crop, so the copyright is mine, right?" It happens. I can't say if that's the case here, but it happens. - Alexis Jazz ^{ping plz} 00:16, 1 January 2019 (UTC)

@Jeff G.: "That could be a problem if it was challenged in court."

Actually, it wouldn't be. A judge would be much more likely to interpret the lack of a version as "the re-user can pick any version they like" rather than "the author can go extort the re-users for violating their copyright". (this is part of Dutch law: if something is not clearly specified in a contract, it will be interpreted the way that is most beneficial for the signee) - Alexis Jazz ^{ping plz} 00:16, 1 January 2019 (UTC)

Please review this and replace permission if the ticket is correct. - Alexis Jazz ^{ping plz} 13:25, 24 November 2018 (UTC)

@Alexis Jazz: I'm not over the moon about this one. The OTRS agent told the e-mailer to add the Permission ticket. The agent appears not to be an agent any more. The whole ticket is based on a copy and paste e-mail from the copyright holder (not nice...) I think I will e-mail the copyright holder direct to confirm. Oh, what a tangled web we weave... Ronhjones  ^(Talk) 01:00, 26 December 2018 (UTC)

@Alexis Jazz and Ronhjones: I've also spotted it and created {{Davecskatingphoto.com}} for further uploads. I agree that the permission is quite weak... and thank you Ronhjones for following this up with the copyright holder. --AntonierCH ^(d) 19:30, 6 January 2019 (UTC)

I sent it to 4 e-mail addresses, one bounced (I expected that), no one has replied to date. Ronhjones  ^(Talk) 19:50, 6 January 2019 (UTC)

@Alexis Jazz and AntonierCH: Answered on 2019-2-19. There are some files without the permissions template yet? --Ruthven (msg) 22:36, 28 May 2019 (UTC)
