File permission problem with File:Mick keith money1.jpg

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Mick keith money1.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created 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-enwikimedia.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 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-enwikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:Image 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 uploaded by following this link. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. FASTILY_sock ^(TALK) 05:50, 23 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. I am arranging for the email sent by the photographer now and believe that should be done before the delete date. Thank you. Deadhead63 (talk) 06:24, 23 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

File permission problem with File:Mick keith money1.jpg

Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-enwikimedia.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-enwikimedia.org.

@Millborn1: Why did you delete the photo Mick Kieth Money.jpg? We have permission from the photographer Ethan Russell. We have an acknowledgment of that permission from somebody at permissions wikimedia dot org. The "Ticket Number" was #2009111610003902 and the email dates from November 30, 2009.

This is a pain for these old men to keep dealing with. Please re-post the photograph.

Here is the email with the acknowledgment:

While you received a reply, you should note that it did not indicate that permission was usable. In particular I feel I need to point out that we require more than just permission to use images on Wikipedia. We require an email which explicitly releases the image under an acceptable free license. Feel free to contact me should you have any further questions which you need cleared up before sending a new email. VernoWhitney (talk) 14:01, 13 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your response and interest. We in fact did receive a copy of the email, but the user who works for the office indicated that the permission was insufficient. I didn't actually make that decision on my own; if you need more information on why we couldn't work with it, you can leave a message at User talk:VernoWhitney, or you can leave a message at Commons:Commons:OTRS/Noticeboard (you'll notice that board isn't on the English Wikipedia, so make sure you leave a back reference to the English image). You can reference ticket# 2009111610003902.

I'm very sorry for any inconvenience and I understand your frustration; you probably think we're being process-wonky with you, although I can't confirm or deny that as I didn't see the email. I recommend keeping a level head about it (I'd know a thing or two about that); we're all volunteers just like you and we want to help. Thanks.
