File permission problem with File:Karen Dunne, Gold Medalist in Women's Road Race at 1999 Pan American Games.jpg

[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:Karen Dunne, Gold Medalist in Women's Road Race at 1999 Pan American Games.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 in section F11 of the criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Whpq (talk) 02:47, 23 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Whpq for your help in getting this photo into Wikipedia properly. I have forwarded an email from the original copyright holder, Casey Gibson, to permissions-en@wikimedia.org based on these instructions, and this is the ticket number: [Ticket#: 2019112310004441]. Please let me know if there is anything else I should do. I am pretty new to this. Thank you Prettystupid (talk) 17:25, 23 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
You can add {{subst:OP}} to the file description to identify that there is there is a permission email that is awaiting processing by an OTRS volunteer. You can also remove the deletion notice as evidence of permission s now pending. -- Whpq (talk) 18:21, 23 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
