- I've just contacted the image owner by commenting on the Flickr page where the image appears:
- If it must be deleted before he responds, I will re-upload it later if and when he explicitly changes the license to be compatible with Wikipedia's legal policies. Sorry for misunderstanding the varities of Creative Commons licences. 99.28.99.112 13:53, 1 April 2011 (UTC)
Tip: Categorizing images
Thanks a lot for contributing to the Wikimedia Commons! Here's a tip to make your uploads more useful: Why not add some categories to describe them? This will help more people to find and use them.
Here's how:
1) If you're using the UploadWizard, you can add categories to each file when you describe it. Just click "more options" for the file and add the categories which make sense:
2) You can also pick the file from your list of uploads, edit the file description page, and manually add the category code at the end of the page.
[[Category:Category name]]
For example, if you are uploading a diagram showing the orbits of comets, you add the following code:
[[Category:Astronomical diagrams]]
[[Category:Comets]]
This will make the diagram show up in the categories "Astronomical diagrams" and "Comets".
When picking categories, try to choose a specific category ("Astronomical diagrams") over a generic one ("Illustrations").
Thanks again for your uploads! More information about categorization can be found in Commons:Categories, and don't hesitate to leave a note on the help desk.CategorizationBot (talk) 11:35, 22 April 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Jo Becker at Harvard.jpg. This media is missing permission information. A source is given, but there is no proof that the author or copyright holder agreed to license the file under the given license. Please provide a link to an appropriate webpage with license information, or ask the author or copyright holder to send an email with copy of a written permission to VRT (permissions-commons@wikimedia.org). You may still be required to go through this procedure even if you are the author yourself; please see Commons:But it's my own work! for more details. After you emailed permission, you may replace the {{No permission since}} tag with {{subst:PP}} on file description page. Alternatively, you may click on "Challenge speedy deletion" below the tag if you wish to provide an argument why evidence of permission is not necessary in this case.
Please see this page for more information on how to confirm permission, or if you would like to understand why we ask for permission when uploading work that is not your own, or work which has been previously published (regardless of whether it is your own). The file probably has been deleted. If you sent a permission, try to send it again after 14 days. Do not re-upload. When the VRT-member processes your mail, the file can be undeleted. Additionally you can request undeletion here, providing a link to the File-page on Commons where it was uploaded ([[:File:Jo Becker at Harvard.jpg]] ) and the above demanded information in your request. |

I sent complete documentation of e-mail correspondence with the original image author and her representatives to the permissions@wikimedia address. Thank you for your diligence in enforcing the Wikimedia Foundation's intellectual property standards for images, but this was all done properly and the image should not be deleted. No intel here (talk) 19:45, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
- I explained in my response that the permission statement didn't meet our requirements, and I filled out a statement that would meet our requirements. I haven't yet received a response, as far as I know. You were copied. IT was sent 23 March 2013. I won't be monitoring this page, please let me know at my talk page if you have additional comments.--Sphilbrick (talk) 13:08, 5 March 2013 (UTC)

- Hi. We also need verification of license for the following:
- While some of these images have been present without verification of license for some time, I see a few of them are relatively new. If they are deleted prior to the processing of permission you have already sent or that you send, there should be no issues as these are routinely restored once permission is processed.
- I would really encourage you to read en:Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission and en:Wikipedia:Declaration of consent for all enquiries. We are not able to accept images that are donated to us unless they are licensed under a compatible license. I'm afraid that quite often celebrities who donate images do balk when discovering that the images they donate can be used by anyone anywhere, even commercially. We recommend very specific language to make this clear up front, but even where that language is used sometimes there are later issues. Unfortunately, people don't always read the fine print!
- If you do send or have sent a compatible license, please put {{subst:OP}} on the description pages beneath the tag notifying that license needs verification. This can help delay premature deletion. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 12:34, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
