Wikipedia:OTRS noticeboard

Please keep this in mind Wikimedia's volunteer response team (OTRS) handles copyright permissions, email inquiries from the public, reuse inquiries, article errors, and a wide range of non-public inquiries. The email service is operated and managed by a cross-project team of volunteers at the Meta-Wiki level and not by the English Wikipedia community. Actions by OTRS volunteers on English Wikipedia are ultimately subject to review by the Arbitration Committee. Please be aware that there is sometimes a backlog in processing tickets sent to the permissions-en queue. This backlog is currently 73 days. This noticeboard is primarily for Permissions verification and inquiries for text and files (hosted on the English Wikipedia) said to have been granted permission via OTRS. Requests for OTRS volunteer review of matters that have been described as OTRS comments or actions. Other inquiries to OTRS volunteers that do not involve, disclose or reference private material. Do not post Private information or links to private information (including but not limited to emails, phone numbers, physical addresses). Fishing requests (asking for all details of a ticket or generally probing ticket information). You should make a specific request and clearly state the reason for your request. Additional questions on a point, once an OTRS volunteer has indicated they cannot answer due to privacy issues. (Further inquiries and any complaints should be made via email.) Requests for OTRS access (use meta:OTRS/volunteering instead). Questions regarding media hosted on Wikimedia Commons (use Commons:OTRS/Noticeboard instead). Media questions unrelated to OTRS (use Wikipedia:Media copyright questions instead). Disputes For disputes over OTRS actions on English Wikipedia, see Wikipedia:Volunteer Response Team#Dispute resolution and Wikipedia:Dispute resolution#Sensitive issues and functionary actions.

Norm Sartorius page, image copyright

The image NormSartoriusHomage2.jpg copyright release has been submitted to permissions. The rights hold holder is photographer Jim Osborn. He listed it as "NormSartoriusHomage.jpg" in his permission email. You can see that is it is the same image. Or I can rename it to correspond to his written permission.

Ian Sprague copyright issue

This article has not been cleared by obtaining permission from a copyright holder, though this is available (see the article's Talk page). Instead the dubious paragraphs have been rewritten to the point where the Duplication Detector shows only proper names. So as the original author I would now like the warning template removed and do not know how to bring this about. If no one has the power to do this then presumably it is OK to remove it myself.

File:Richard Adlam profile picture.png

File:Richard Adlam profile picture.png has a message received by OTRS but without sufficient permission. That was Sep 2015. Is there any update to this? Next steps? -- Whpq (talk) 04:30, 14 January 2016 (UTC)

@Whpq: thanx for pointing this out. No further information was received. I tagged it for deletion. Mlpearc (open channel) 05:24, 14 January 2016 (UTC)
