[edit] OTRS request
The following image File:Joe Sanchez.jpg has been placed for deletion. However, permission from the copyright holder was forwarded to OTRS on 11/8/ 09 and again on 11/12/09. Here is what was sent:
bluewall@mpinet.net. "I, Joe Sanchez_____, as the copyright holder of the image attached/in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Joe_Sanchez.jpg, agree to release in under the terms of GFDL. I understand that this allows anyone to use the image for any purpose, including commercial use, as long as the constraints in the license, like attribution, are respected."
I would appreciate if someone would look into the progress of the process of this permit or at least have the deletion of the image delayed until OTRS does what it does, because it would be a pity to have the image deleted. Thank you Tony the Marine (talk) 05:06, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Overriding the editorial community
At Wikipedia:Contact us/Article problem, it says that the Volunteer response team may override the editorial community in certain exceptional cases, I am curious to know in which cases, as it seems to contradict the following policies: Wikipedia:Volunteer response team (section "Dispute resolution"), Wikipedia:Consensus and Wikipedia:Editing policy. To clear up ambiguities, the Wikimedia foundation can override the editorial community, but this is distinct from OTRS. I'll reword this. Cenarium (forever) 00:40, 14 November 2009 (UTC)
- I've fixed the wording to reflect current practice. Not sure why that was worded in the way it was. - Rjd0060 (talk) 00:49, 14 November 2009 (UTC)
[edit] helpdesk
I was wondering, shouldn't this page refer to the helpdesk ? There are questions that someone clicking Contact Us might wanna ask that don't fall into the default set of given options, but can easily be answered on the Helpdesk. —TheDJ (talk • contribs) 00:15, 1 December 2009 (UTC)
