File permission problem with File:12 metre yacht 'Australia' (KA-5).jpg

[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:12 metre yacht 'Australia' (KA-5).jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

  • make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
  • Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 12:19, 23 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I have sent an email to 'Permissions@wikipedia' with the source email graniting me permission. I have yet to hear back from them. Is there anyway you can help? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dazcag (talk • contribs) 03:58, 30 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Sometimes they take a few days to respond, but they can take longer. Perhaps an obvious question, but did you mention the names of the files on Wikipedia in your messages to the permissions team? If you don't, sometimes that can slow them down. Graham87 16:39, 30 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Change from "acquired" to "leased" at Australia (yacht)

[edit]

Hello, I've undone your change that I've referred to in the title of this message, because it doesn't conform to the cited source. Either cite one that does agree with the statement that the yacht has been leased by the Australian 12m Historic Trust, or get the source fixed somehow. Graham87 14:50, 26 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]


Well, when the guy who runs it emails me and tells me it's leased, I think that's a pretty good source. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dazcag (talk • contribs) 00:18, 28 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, but we need a published source. The guy who runs it should get the website changed to say "leased", and then it can be fixed in the Wikipedia article. Graham87 01:58, 28 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
