Thanks for uploading File:Emily Davison plaque.tiff. This media is missing permission information. A source is given, but there is no proof that the author or copyright holder agreed to license the file under the given license. Please provide a link to an appropriate webpage with license information, or ask the author or copyright holder to send an email with copy of a written permission to VRT (permissions-commons@wikimedia.org). You may still be required to go through this procedure even if you are the author yourself; please see Commons:But it's my own work! for more details. After you emailed permission, you may replace the {{No permission since}} tag with {{subst:PP}} on file description page. Alternatively, you may click on "Challenge speedy deletion" below the tag if you wish to provide an argument why evidence of permission is not necessary in this case.

email to the licencing team
[edit]I've sent the following email to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org
Hi,
Re: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Emily_Davison_plaque.tiff and https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Emily_Davison_plaque_Epsom.tiff
I am the lead developer on an open source project Open Plaques http://openplaques.org/ We are the worldwide database of commemorative plaques.
The project enables users create plaque/marker records on our system and to collect Creative Commons licenced images on other platforms (which we then link to). This was originally via Flickr, but after talking to Wikimedian @pigsonthewing we ask our users to donate direct to Wikimedia Commons.
Occasionally, a user is not technically able enough to upload images themselves (I know, it is quite simple, but some people just get scared). In this case we ask them to email us the image and state that they are happy to 'donate it for anyone in the World to use under a Creative Commons licence'. I then upload them via my personal account https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:ListFiles/Jnicho02&ilshowall=1
I have roughly 350 images donated in this way, all marked as 'Open Plaques donation'. I'm not sure that I want to go through the email trails for all 350 and justify them all.
Is there any way that Open Plaques donations can be seen as an acceptable reference?
Regards, Jez (from the Open Plaques team)— Preceding unsigned comment added by Jnicho02 (talk • contribs)
- Hi Jnicho02! I understand and my tagging was somehow a little exaggerated. Nevertheless you should add all details available to the file information as I did it now for (e.g.) File:Emily Davison plaque.tiff via this edit = (essential) adding the source, the location, the original license as stated at http://openplaques.org + the template {{LicenseReview}} which will initite a human license review by trusted Commons user, confirming the license as stated at http://openplaques.org. With this, you need not to "to go through the email trails for all 350 and justify them all.". Well, try to keep this as routine for future uploads.
- "Is there any way that Open Plaques donations can be seen as an acceptable reference?" Well, we could create an OTRS confirmed license template but at http://openplaques.org (so far I could see) multiple licenses are involved which makes it more complicated. If you are planning to upload hundreds of plaques images within a short time we should consider a special solution for this. If not (only uploads from time to time), the above routine would be IMHO sufficient. Gunnex (talk) 07:01, 14 April 2015 (UTC)
- I still think there is a minor confusion. Open Plaques only displays open licenced images that are stored on other sites (Flickr, Wikimedia Commons, Geograph). We are donating to Wikimedia Commons any images that are emailed direct to our project. This will be the main and only copy. The image displayed on Open Plaques actually *is* the Wikimedia Commons image (we displayed the wrong licence by mistake).
- For example, Alan Haines just emailed me a photo and stated that he was happy for us to upload it to a site that stores photos under a Creative Commons reuse licence. He is the copyright holder. It is not my own work. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Brittania_Barracks_Plaque.JPG is now the only copy on the web. I have linked it to http://openplaques.org/plaques/8120 and display the Wikimedia image. Jnicho02 (talk) 12:22, 1 May 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for contributing to Wiki Loves Monuments UK 2019!
[edit]Hi
Thank you so much for contributing to the UK section of this year's Wiki Loves Monuments contest, which finished yesterday. We really do appreciate the time and effort you've put in to record the UK's built cultural heritage for future generations.
Your contribution has been been added to our collections here on Wikimedia Commons, and is already available for editors to make use of on Wikipedia and elsewhere. It has also been entered into this year's contest. If you'd like to see your own images, just click on the uploads link at the top right of this page (if you don't see it, click on the Log in option first).
We've received over 10,000 UK entries this year, and it will take a few weeks for our volunteers and professional judges to decide on the final top 10. The winners will be announced by the end of this month, both here on Wikimedia Commons and also on the competition website.
The top 10 UK images will go forward to the international section where they will compete against winners from some 50 other countries. The international winners should be announced here in December.
Don't forget, by the way, that if you're hoping to win a prize in the contest it's essential that you have enabled email in your Wikimedia preferences. If you haven't, you're not eligible to win. If you're unsure, please check here.
Once again, many thanks for your help! MichaelMaggs (talk) 15:58, 2 October 2019 (UTC)

Jacob von Hogflume
[edit]Hi @Jnicho02, Just wondering where in Sweden this plaque is: File:Jacob Von Hogflume Sweden plaque.jpg. Because I'd like to add it to List of hoax commemorative plaques. Regards, Ridiculopathy (talk) 14:18, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
- If you click through on the link to OpenPlaques you'll see the location. The photo was sent to me rather than me taking it so I don't know for sure.
- I run the OpenPlaques website, so can point out some more for the list if you wish. Jnicho02 (talk) 14:43, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
