Получение лицензии на изображение[edit]

Добрый день. Отправила запрос на получение лицензии на два изображения на Викискладе. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:%D0%91%D1%80%D0%BE%D0%BD%D0%B5%D0%B0%D0%B2%D1%82%D0%BE%D0%BC%D0%BE%D0%B1%D0%B8%D0%BB%D1%8C_%D0%91%D0%90-20%D0%9C_%D0%B2_%D0%9C%D1%83%D0%B7%D0%B5%D0%B5_%D0%BE%D1%82%D0%B5%D1%87%D0%B5%D1%81%D1%82%D0%B2%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B9_%D0%B2%D0%BE%D0%BE%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B9_%D0%B8%D1%81%D1%82%D0%BE%D1%80%D0%B8%D0%B8.jpg https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:%D0%91%D1%8B%D1%81%D1%82%D1%80%D0%BE%D1%85%D0%BE%D0%B4%D0%BD%D1%8B%D0%B9_%D0%BB%D0%B5%D0%B3%D0%BA%D0%B8%D0%B9_%D1%82%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%BA_%D0%91%D0%A2-7_%D0%B2_%D0%9C%D1%83%D0%B7%D0%B5%D0%B5_%D0%BE%D1%82%D0%B5%D1%87%D0%B5%D1%81%D1%82%D0%B2%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B9_%D0%B2%D0%BE%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B9_%D0%B8%D1%81%D1%82%D0%BE%D1%80%D0%B8%D0%B8.jpg В графе права вместо получения лицензии появился блок со ссылкой на VRTS-аккаунт. Я перехожу по ссылке, у меня нет пароля и логина, и зарегистрироваться на ресурсе VRTS нет возможности, так как там нет полей для регистрации, только поля для логина и пароля.

File:Yoo Kang-Nam.jpg[edit]

File:Yoo Kang-Nam.jpg lists its source as https://www.flickr.com/photos/koreanet/49911438117/in/album-72157624300668866/, which states This official Republic of Korea photograph is being made available only for publication by news organizations and/or for personal printing by the subject(s) of the photograph. The photograph may not be manipulated in any way. Also, it may not be used in any type of commercial, advertisement, product or promotion that in any way suggests approval or endorsement from the government of the Republic of Korea..

@Ahecht: : I think the permission is valid, yes. Regards. --Ganímedes (talk) 00:50, 28 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I don't get the purpose of the custom template {{Korea.net}}. The ticket contains nothing more than a copy of a request for the Flickr account holder to update their license to remove the NC/ND conditions from their uploads, along with an reply that they have changed it as requested. So it's more of an informational statement than a legally binding instrument IMO. @Ganímedes: Where are you seeing that the ticket overrides the NC/ND conditions on Flickr? Feel free to email me or leave an agent note on the ticket if it involves any private correspondence. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 06:45, 30 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please keep photos Rwanda 2021 by Gerard van de Bruinhorst Ticket#2022052010007968[edit]

Dear VTRS people,

A number of photos are threatened by deletion although permission by the author has indeed been sent:

There is a proposed licensing template at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Gerard_van_de_Bruinhorst to be used for further photos of the same collection and author.

  • Could you please remove the deletion tags?

Thank you, Hansmuller (talk) 07:44, 22 June 2022 (UTC) Wikimedian in Residence Leiden University[reply]

By the way, i was not notified on my Discussion page of this threat, as would have been good practice. Cheers, Hansmuller (talk) 08:11, 22 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, @Hansmuller. I've added the ticket number to the template in each file. That step was missing. From now, there is one month to finish the process. BTW, please note that files could (and probably be) edited to remove the data and hour in them. Regards. --Ganímedes (talk) 09:56, 22 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, @Ganímedes ! A great consolation. I note that the message in the template: "However, the message was not sufficient to confirm permission for this file." is not correct, as author (and his employer Leiden University i work for) have granted permission CC-BY-SA-4.0 as you might check with Google Translate.
* So it would be great if you could conclude this matter and give your VTRS blessing... (Formally, i think i should have stated my request in Dutch, my apologies. I'll do so below in brief.) Thank you, Hansmuller (talk) 09:10, 23 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, the language it's the problem. I can't finish the ticket because of it. Sorry. --Ganímedes (talk) 11:22, 23 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Alstublieft VTRS toestemming voor de foto's van Rwanda 2021 door Gerard van de Bruinhorst Ticket#2022052010007968[edit]

Beste VTRS-ers,

Excuses, ik stelde hierboven een vraag in het Engels.

  • Kunnen jullie VTRS-toestemming geven? Verder is alles met de meel van Gerard al geregeld? Dank jullie wel, Hansmuller (talk) 08:59, 23 June 2022 (UTC) wikimedian in residence Universiteit Leiden[reply]

ticket:2019033110002578[edit]

Please check if the ticket for the low-res photo File:Prem Rawat, Barcelone, mars 2018.jpg is also valid for the hi-res photo File:Prem Rawat 2022.jpg from the same source, thank you. --Achim55 (talk) 14:21, 23 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Achim55: At first glance, no because the ticket is from 2019. A Francophone agent may have more to add.   — Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me 14:28, 23 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

File:FC Schmiere Wimpel.png[edit]

@DaB.: could you please check if the ticket is valid for both images? Thanks, Ellywa (talk) 08:27, 14 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Have no access to the VRT at the moment, will look in about 2–3h. --DaB. (talk) 20:20, 14 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Ellywa: It’s a little bit complicated. The ticket includes (as image) File:FC Schmiere Wimpel (2).png, but the permission-text is about File:FC Schmiere Wimpel.png. --DaB. (talk) 22:12, 14 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Sreejithk2000: the ticket is not valid for both images, as you will note in the comment above. Best is to ask copyright holder to sent a more clear message, mentioning both images explicitely. Please ask him to refer to ticket 2015091510017259 in the subject section of the email. Regards, Ellywa (talk) 21:24, 15 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Being careful about templates[edit]

Hey! I'm not 100% sure if this is the correct location to ask my question, but I'm not finding anywhere more fit. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. I'm from the English Wikipedia, and I noticed that a couple users have started using {{subst:PP}} on it in relation to VRT tickets. Now, while on commons, this seems to be just fine, this is actually incorrect on the english wikipedia, as we use PP for the protection banner, with the correct template being OP. Anyone who does end up using the subst ends up just producing {{#invoke:Protection banner|main}} on the page (and being put in an error tracking category). I'm not entirely sure what solutions are available here, as I'm unfamiliar with how the VRT system works, but I think a solution might be required here, as users may be very confused when the substitution does nothing. Any comments? (Please ping me if replying as I'm not often on commons) Aidan9382 (talk) 05:19, 1 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I do not think we should change the name of the template:PP on Commons to avoid such an error. Do you envisage some solution? Commons is an international project, and we cannot avoid such problems in general. In fact, often used templates could be internationalized perhaps, through Wikidata, but this would require a major effort. By the way, OP seems outdated, as we switched from OTRS to now VRT.

HS2 Chiltern Tunnel Progress[edit]

I was just wondering if any progress had been made on the permissions for this (https://mediacentre.hs2.org.uk/resources/south-portal-of-the-chiltern-tunnel-after-launch-of-the-tbms-summer-2021-27337) file through VRT, only I'm not currently receiving anything from HS2 regarding it (although I did ask that they update me when they had sent their specific permissions off). Is the file still under review or do I have to send another request through a different route to HS2 to get the process restarted from the top? MajorScafellPike (talk) 09:57, 15 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@MajorScafellPike: As I wrote at COM:HD#Uploading images from HS2 Media Gallery, "If you can get them to carbon copy you on each message, you will keep in the loop." I have found nothing referring to that URL in our archives. If your communication with them is via email, you may carbon copy permissions-commons@wikimedia.org to get the ball rolling.   — Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me 10:51, 15 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

User:Kuldeep Singh Deep[edit]

I wish to confirm this user’s verification of identity, could someone please help me? MxYamato (talk) 06:24, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Pinging @TheAafi as applier of that template.   — Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me 14:57, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@MxYamato and @Jeff G.. On the VRT, I reviewed a ticket that stated permissions about some images that were uploaded by MediaPunjab account, and subsequently said this account belongs to them. That's why I added the template because as I told them that the username was not a nice one and they should get it renamed, they successfully did it. I feel this is enough. If we need any sort of legal proof for that, I can leave them a note, but I think email suffices. ─ The Aafī (talk) 15:40, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I left them a new note given the mass-uploads that have been done from the account. I'm still of the same opinion but the doubts should be answered and clarified. I'm sorry if this has caused any inconvenience. ─ The Aafī (talk) 15:56, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ticket:2022071610002781[edit]

Could someone take a look and help me identifying the legitimacy of the document shared on Ticket:2022071610002781. I guess the language is German. Does that document confirm the transfer of copyrights? Thanks, ─ The Aafī (talk) 16:21, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ticket:2014021910001719[edit]

This ticket was used to provide permission for book cover art: 1 and 2. These books were published by two different companies, and the ticket looks like it was filed by the book author alone. Joofjoof (talk) 05:17, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Clarification about the user VIvescovo and his rights to upload pictures[edit]

Hi at all,

I am kindly asking you to verify that user Vlvescovo does indeed have the copyrights to upload pictures of the wreck of the USS Johnston. He uploaded the following three pictures to commons.

The links to those three files were removed from the arcticle about USS Johnston during an meanwhile closed A-class review because it seemend suspicious that the user Vlvescovo is indeed Victor Vescovo and does have the rights to upload pictures under the appropriate Creative-Commons-Licence. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Vami_IV#USS_Johnston

There were already discussions between Victor Vescovo and members of the OTRS team regarding about other pictures. please check here respectivly ticket:2021041310011587

Earlier discussions with Vescovo regarding his copyrights to donate pictures taken during his Five Deeps Expedition can be found here ticket:2019022510006855

I hope that the Volunteer Response Team can clarify that VIvescovo does have the rights to give the licence for this three pictures via the uploader. And so they could be used in the arcticles. Best regards Yeti-Hunter (talk) 11:42, 21 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Pinging @Mussklprozz and @Ww2censor who handled the two mentioned tickets. ─ The Aafī (talk) 13:55, 21 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Concerning Ticket:2021041310011587, there were two agents dealing with it, and we both came to the conclusion that the permission is valid. The photograph of the two images, Tamara Stubbs, got in contact with us and sent us a PDF copy of the cession of rights. In my opinion that document is a strong clue that Vevesco is acting honestly. The two files concerned are
Cheers, Mussklprozz (talk) 14:27, 21 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Yeti-Hunter: None of the 3 files mentioned above were ones I approved so I don't know what you want from me. I've never seen those underwater images before today so I can't say that Vlvescovo has permission or not. Ww2censor (talk) 15:58, 21 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Ww2censor, I thought that OTRS team members who had either worked on ticket:2021041310011587 or on the older ticket ticket:2019022510006855 are able to "judge" mostly based of the conversation regarding the deletion of the two pictures taken by Tamara Stubbs whether Vlvescovo is authorized to state that´s his own work and giving a usable licence to those pictures. Vescovo signed his comments overthere with the four tildes, the same way he did when he mentioned that he had correctly uploaded the three pictures of the wreck stating that these are his own work. The reviewer @Buidhe: and the user @Vami IV: could may be convinced that those three pictures are properly licenced if the OTRS team member put a ticketnumber in each description section once the pictures in question where double checked. If possible, I would like to avoid that those three pictures will be deleted and followed by a suggestion that Vescovo had to go through the whole licensing process instead of just using his correctly licenced and uploaded pictures for the article. If this solution is not possible, perhaps Vescovo has to confirm in an official statement via E-mail to the OTRS team that he is the copyright holder of the already uploaded and licenced pictures. Yeti-Hunter (talk) 18:36, 21 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Yeti-Hunter: These files File:VVescovo at the Calypso Deep Prior to Diving Feb 2020.jpg and File:VVescovo_at_Calypso_Deep_Feb_2020_Prior_to_Diving.tif were approved by Ticket:2021041310011587 as can be seen by the ticket in the files. Ticket:2019022510006855 approved a list of several files but neither of these tickets verified the three files mentioned above. All we can assume is that there was never a ticket to provide a permission for them so they will need a separate permission statement from the copyright holder. It is not our position to speculate about other files. That's all I can tell you. Ww2censor (talk) 22:24, 21 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
