Would you consider adding the OTRS template to the other files, too? If not, what would be the best solution? --Leyo 10:09, 1 January 2024 (UTC)

@Leyo, no, the ticket permission is unrelated to any other versions and is limited to File:Green Party of Switzerland logo (with background).png. The other files appear to be derivatives of this same file with changes in text (tell me if I'm missing anything), it should be perfectly okay. Maybe user {{Other versions}}? But for a matter of fact, the permission ticket would stay on only one file which for which the release was sent in the ticket. Best regards, ─ The Aafī (talk) 10:58, 1 January 2024 (UTC)

Photographs of identifiable people

Hello, I am looking at two photographs which have been through VRT:

Both were on the same ticket, #2019030510009647.

The first one is a picture of people in what looks like a private place. The second one may also be a private place. Has consent from the subjects been received? If not, should they be deleted? Thanks. Tacyarg (talk) 20:22, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

The VRT generally processes copyright permissions only, not personality rights consents. It is up to the uploader to ensure than consent was given. Krd 20:47, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
These are posed photos. They certainly involved a good deal of communication between the photographer and subjects. - Jmabel ! talk 00:00, 3 January 2024 (UTC)

ticket #2013031510006025

File:JA13XJ Airbus A.359 JAL Japan Airlines At Tokyo Haneda International Airport.jpg states that it is freely licensed per ticket #2013031510006025 however the linked source (Flickr) states all rights reserved. Please could someone with access to the ticket verify whether the release does apply to this image. Thryduulf (talk) 01:38, 3 January 2024 (UTC)

Hi @Thryduulf: The release applies to images at this source and this source (inaccessible) and puts them under Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0. ─ The Aafī (talk) 06:43, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
The image is freely licensed then, thank you. Thryduulf (talk) 10:42, 3 January 2024 (UTC)

Deletion request

Please delete this photo, as I lost any means of contacting the photographer after we arranged everything. Thanks! --Oleh325 (talk) 18:29, 3 January 2024 (UTC)

@Oleh325: This is not the right place to seek deletions. Maybe ask at COM:AN. ─ The Aafī (talk) 20:48, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
I looked at VRT archives but couldn't find any email and have thus changed the permissions template on the file to {{No permission}}. If you can try arranging permissions in the next seven days, good, otherwise the file will be deleted, procedurally. ─ The Aafī (talk) 20:51, 3 January 2024 (UTC)

Andrew Hastie

Does the permission given for File:Andrew Hastie MP Age Care Community Visit.jpg apply to the 2 other files uploaded by the same user?

Thanks. Cryptic-waveform (talk) 05:01, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

@Cryptic-waveform, no. The ticket releases only one file. ─ The Aafī (talk) 07:49, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

This ticket should involve conversation releasing the copyright for a speech by a Phillipino official Anna Mae Yu Lamentillo "To the 6.5 million Build, Build, Build Team". At the moment there is an ongoing deletion discussion concerning this work in English Wikisource. There is a suspicion that the work has been released under Phillipino law only and not under the US law. The VRT volunteer dealing with this communication was repeatedly asked a few questions crucial for the decision about keeping or deleting the work, but for some reason does not answer them without any explanation. May I ask somebody else to have a look at the ticket and provide the needed answers, please?

The questions are:

  1. Who (what legal entity) provided permission?
  2. How do they have standing to do so?
  3. What specific permission did they provide?

Thanks very much for help. -- Jan Kameníček (talk) 22:45, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

The permission to publish this text appears to be authentic. The last post in the ticket refers to the public discussion on Wikisource and suggests the client to comment there in order to maintain the text. So I do not think the discussion should continue here. This does not concern a file hosted on Commons. Ellywa (talk) 23:17, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
@Jan.Kamenicek, I will try to briefly answer your questions,
  1. It would remain unanswered because it involves non-public information and no VRT agent would be disclosing that information publicly.
  2. The permissions come from a legitimate copyrights holder and the claim is supported (as I can see in the ticket).
  3. Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International and GNU Free Documentation License (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts).

Hello, can an VRT administrator can close the DR in a way or in another, please? Christian Ferrer (talk) 19:53, 8 January 2024 (UTC)

Some three years ago, this was handled by @Emha. ─ The Aafī (talk) 05:27, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
Permission can be considered authentic. Further discussion on the Deletion request, strange behaviour of uploader. Ellywa (talk) 10:31, 9 January 2024 (UTC)

Art Basel, German page

Please change the logo photo of the German Art Basel site and possibly corresponding pages. The picture shows white figures of Manfred Kielnhofer in front of a facade inscription "Art Basel". Kielnhofer was not invited to Art Basel. He places his figures, which can be classified as plagiarism, around art events to give the impression that he is a participant. That's not the case. In addition, his figures have been banned from most public locations after he posted a Star of David made of syringes on social media, outing himself as an anti-Semitic Corona conspiracy theorist. This is also documented in detail on the German page about Manfred Kielnhofer: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manfred_Kielnhofer 89.144.197.179 07:28, 12 January 2024 (UTC)

This is not the correct location for asking, but I decided to replace the image on the Wikidata item with the neutral logo of BAsel Art only. I do not judge the art in any way. I suppose that was your request, as such image was seen in the infobox, while the logo is more appropriate, I agree with that. Ellywa (talk) 12:33, 12 January 2024 (UTC)

Numéro de ticket manquant malgré autorisation transmise

Bonjour,
pourriez-vous m'indiquer le problème que vous rencontrez avec File:Lampe à huile romaine à ailerons latéraux.jpg ?
Merci de votre travail et Cordialement. 6PO (talk) 13:14, 13 January 2024 (UTC)

There is no problem. Permission is added. Please be a bit more patient next time. Ellywa (talk) 21:50, 13 January 2024 (UTC)

File:Miss Intercontinental logo.jpg logo has the license in accordance to the copyright holder of the said image, the organization of Miss Intercontinental have emailed and I have receipts about their approval to use the logo on Wikipedia article. I also got the emailed by Wikipedia Commons and got the respond and both emails also of the official account of the organization. Rc ramz (talk) 13:28, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

@Rc ramz: The latest email message should reveal the current situation regarding this file and ticket:2024010410007144; evidently, that situation has not yet been resolved.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 13:49, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
How?? I have 2 of this ticket;
Re: [Ticket#2023123110004694] release of content attached to this email?? & that so do I need to wait?? Thanks Rc ramz (talk) 14:11, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
@Rc ramz: The messages are unclear. We need an explicit permission from the creator/copyrights holder that they release the file under a free license that allows re-use including commercial. Releases that state the file would be used on Wikipedia article are not sufficient. ─ The Aafī (talk) 14:52, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

Ten million thanks to the VRT

A bunch of questions were raised about images I uploaded via flickr, many of them from the US Department of Defence, which you can see here [1]. I put my hand up and say I wasn't even aware there was a difference between Public Domain and Creative Commons but, boy, I've learnt my lesson there, and in a couple of other areas too. My apologies for all the hard work that has meant for you by way of checking things and emails and whatnot. You have my gratitude. MatthewDalhousie (talk) 04:58, 8 January 2024 (UTC)

Thanks. You have a very good attitude of learning. Please keep the pace up. ─ The Aafī (talk) 05:54, 8 January 2024 (UTC)

violation copyright photo

bonjour, File:Umberto Tozzi 2012.png Merci de retirer cette photo de wikipedia. Elle n'est pas libre de droit. FanMusik (talk) 14:27, 11 January 2024 (UTC)

Please see Commons:Deletion requests/File:Umberto Tozzi 2012.png.
@FanMusik: making an accusation in multiple places does not make it more true. If you have evidence that this is a copyright violation, please present it in the deletion request discussion. Jmabel ! talk 16:38, 11 January 2024 (UTC)
