Colorado legislators

I obtained releases for this images this morning, and those are confirmed in OTRS. Shortly after they were confirmed, the folks who released the images sent me another message, saying essentially "Hold on a sec, we're not 100% sure we have the authority to release these images, and would you please not use them until we double-check." I placed the disputed tag on at that point because I didn't know whether it would take hours or weeks for them to get back to me. As it turned out, it only took hours for them to confirm that, yes, their original release was in fact perfectly valid, and so now I'm removing them. Unfortunately, there's not a template that lets me explain all that succinctly. -- Sethant (talk) 20:51, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

Ah, great. The second, confirming, email should be attached to the same OTRS ticket, I think. Is that easy to do if I forward it to the permissions email account? -- Sethant (talk) 20:56, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

Hello, Rjd, I think you missed to tag Image:Korean cuisine-Nabak kimchi-01.jpg with the permission OTRS. Could you check on this? Thanks.--Caspian blue (talk) 01:16, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

Long delay in granting permission

Hi I've been waiting for ages for them to sort some pending permissions. Image:Flat Holm PV solar array near Fog Horn Station.JPG was taken by my staff on Flat Holm island to illustrate the article on Wikipedia and as it was not taken by me personally I explained to commons permissions that the whole purpose of their job is to promote the island - and solar power in particular, so the idea it may be copyright is absurd! I can be contacted on t.riches@cardiff.gov.uk to prove I am authorised if necescary.

Also been waiting for ages for the Image:Bert le vack.jpg - I even got his grandson Dale le Vack to confirm he is happy for the picture to be used to illustrate the article and have emailsd permissions at least 5 times but I just keep getting an acknowledgement and no action, so anything you can do to help sort eith of these would be appreciated as it is very frustrating. Thanks TR001 (talk) 04:58, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

I just emailed permisisons again on both images if you need any more information please let me know. Thanks TR001 (talk) 19:00, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

Pending permission for Image:Leofleider.jpg

Hello Rjd0060! it seems that I´ve made a mistake while uploading the current file. The original source of the picture is the link showed in the information section, but it does not need any authorization from the author or source (that´s why I erased the request from the information box), because it is now in the public domain according to the Argentinian Intellectual Property law (as shown in the information box). Cheers --Lancaster (talk) 01:35, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Image:Inocencio I.jpg

Hello! on the Image Inocencio I.jpg I added the {{Otrs pending}} template, but I don't remember exactly why. I tried to follow the help page for upload the image to commons, but surely I did something wrong, because I can't understand english very well.

I don't know what is that "ticket number". So, I understand that the image must be deleted. Excuse me for the failed search and the work.

Thank you anywhere. --Estevoaei (talk) 21:51, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for your message. I've sent the mails containing the corresponding permits, but i've not received a reply. I entered the irc for this issue and chat with loco095 (i think), and he said that he was stuffed with work at otrs and my mails were 80º in the list (or something like that).

Hello, the image Ingo molnar.jpg is an cropped version of Image:Molnar AND Tweedie.jpg. The original - witch I've been uploading has an correct OTRS-permission (TicketID=1672567). I've been cutting out half of the image myself (using GIMP). Modification is allowed by the licence (CC-BY 3.0). I hope the misunderstanding is cleared up now. -- MichaelSchoenitzer (talk) 21:05, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

Pending permission for image Flag of Pasdaran.svg

Like it says in the template... i did sent an e-mail about the image to the OTRS system, and it was decided by User:Howcheng that the best way to deal with the problems that arose from uploading the image and the uncertainty about its permission status was with a full-fledged deletion request.
So... i think that u should talk to User:Howcheng about this and not with me. All the best - Oren neu dag (talk) 22:28, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

Regarding Image:Tony Gilkyson.jpg ... do you want to email me? Evrik (talk) 13:35, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

Hi Rjd0060,
thanks for notifying. I'm quite surprised that no permission has arrived at OTRS. The depicted person is the head of the en:EORTC (European Cancer organisation) and I was offered that image on behalf of the EORTC as a replacement for my 14 years old one. As they hadn't taken the image by themselves, I had explained to them how to send the permission to OTRS. That was midth of July. I'm currently very busy and can't commit much time on it. However, I've sent a mail to the person that provided the image. Thanks. --Túrelio (talk) 06:56, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

@Rjd0060, go ahead. A week ago I sent an email to the one who mailed me the image and who took the initiative to replace my old image of Mrs Meunier by this newer one. But even I didn't get any reply. Thanks. --Túrelio (talk) 10:20, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

Hi, I'm really angry that you did remove the following images:

14:28, 2 October 2008 Rjd0060 (Talk | contribs) deleted "Image:Bliksem Tholen.jpg" ‎ (no permission received via OTRS; uploader contacted & no response) # 14:28, 2 October 2008 Rjd0060 (Talk | contribs) deleted "Image:Castello Milan.jpg" ‎ (no permission received via OTRS; uploader contacted & no response)

But I did respond!!!: [1]

It really took months before you did anything with the OTRS-pending thing and now all at a sudden you remove the images within a week. I was planning to ask the photographer permission for uploading many more of his photographs, that are often more beautiful and valuable than these. But now I feel ashamed to have to tell that his images have been removed... Do you realize to what extent you can damage the Wikipedia projects by being so impatient and unfriendly?

Notice of namespace-rename "Image" -> "File"

Dear user, the MediaWiki developers recently announced that the "Image:" namespace is going to be renamed to "File:". "Image:" will remain an alias. The canonical namespace name wgCanonicalNamespace will change from "Image" to "File".

I noticed that you use wgCanonicalNamespace in either your monobook.js page or a JavaScript file in your userspace (check this list).

Please check and replace all occurrences of

wgCanonicalNamespace == "Image"

with

wgNamespaceNumber == 6

to ensure that your scripts keep working. Thanks! --Dschwen (talk) 18:41, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

Hi.

Can you please protect Image:Dragonfly macro.jpg for 24 hours? It's on the main page of en.wp.

Thanks, J.delanoygabsadds 03:10, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

Strangely enough, I see that very very frequently. Usually, I just look at the deletion log here to find an online admin, and bug them to protect it. Should I keep doing that, or should I just upload a local copy on en.wp and protect it there? (I'm a sysop there...) J.delanoygabsadds 04:16, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

OTRS

Hello Rjd0060, I am writing you with a question. I found your name here so I thought you may be a good person to ask. Yesterday, I uploaded Image:Margaret Thatcher.png with OTRS pending. OTRS responded via email to me today, thanked me for submitting the image, but did not update the tagging and licensing information on the image itself. The license is GFDL; I would do it, but I do not know the url of the confirmed image on the OTRS system. Any help you could provide in this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! My best, Happyme22 (talk) 02:10, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

I see that User:MBisanz has replied to you at COM:AN#OTRS. That comment there pretty much sums things up. Regards, Rjd0060 (talk) 02:43, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
Okay, I see. Thank you for your time! Best, Happyme22 (talk) 03:47, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

I see that you deleted APWebsite due it being out of the project scope. While it might be interesting to know the ways it is not in the project scope, I am more interested in first removing that link from all of the categories it was linked to which should take much much much more effort than the invention of "out of scope" reasons: Special:WhatLinksHere/APWebsite <-- Can I get an estimate on when the links will be removed from these? -- carol (talk) 04:38, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

I have responded on my talk page and am anxious to read the answers. Thank you for the quickness. -- carol (talk) 05:31, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

Hi, you suppressed APWebsite which is referenced by all the botanic pages.
I know that wikicommons is not a encyclopedy, but we need some pages like Cronquist_System, Strasburger and APG_II to explain which classification we follow in the {{Taxonavigation}}. It is very important to tell the classification followed because a botanic family has a totally different meaning (content, placement) depending on the classification followed.
APWebsite is not simply a website, but also a classification followed by many botanist and more important it is followed by wikicommons !
It is important (also legally ?) to reference the source of our classification.
Could you, please, recreate this article, and perhaps add a comment in the discussion page saying that it should not be suppressed again (It had already been suppressed and recreated by the administrator User:Zzyzx11).
Cheers Liné1 (talk) 08:44, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

I looked back through the edit history and found that it was moved from Template namespace to Project namespace on 29 September 2008 by CarolSpears. Since it contains no media, it is not within scope in Project namespace as you rightly observed. I hope you don't mind, but I restored it and moved it back to Template namespace where it serves to document one of the parameters of Template:Taxonavigation. If necessary, renaming or deleting the page may be discussed at Template_talk:Taxonavigation/APWebsite. Walter Siegmund (talk) 15:54, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

Happy Holidays!

Kanonkas(talk) would like to take this opportunity to wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I really do hope this can make your day slightly better, and if it has done, feel free to pass on the WikiLove to anyone you like! :) Friends, random people, and even those you've had disagreements with. Christmas is, after all, a time to forgive any past actions, and move on from them. Again, happy holidays to you all!

Thanks for the save! I have no idea why the protection didn't go through. I've never had that happen before, but I'll try to remember to check from now on. —David Levy 06:38, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

your sandbox

what's User:Rjd0060/sandbox all about? I saw it mentioned on IRC but didn't get the context. I happen to know of one pic of mine that has been used at Encyclopedia Britannica... are you trying to capture all of these? ++Lar: t/c 00:07, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

(refactored back Rjd0060's talk from mine per User:Lar/PoohPolicy ) Actually, I'm not quite sure what it is for. Cary had asked me to create a table using those images in Category:Commons as a media source. I have some other users helping me with it as it is quite a big job, but not sure what it's for. - Rjd0060 (talk) 00:19, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

This image

Dear Ryan,

MBisanz said I could contact you if I needed help while he is away. Is it possible if you could inspect and mark this image: File:Wagashi.jpg ?

The flickr owner and uploader just agreed to license it as "cc by sa" after I flickrmailed him. It will require a human Admin ot trusted user to inspect it. Thank You, --Leoboudv (talk) 00:54, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

Hi Rjd0060, you tagged this image with {{PermissionOTRS}} but I think that this was not justified as this ticket has never been successfully closed. Could you please look again at this case? I think that we need to delete this image and the other one belonging to this ticket. Regards, AFBorchert (talk) 11:08, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

Hi, I don't want to participate in that discussion as I am not an OTRS volunteer and I don't know all parameters of the problem. However I believe your "Specific proposal" is reasonable. Sv1xv (talk) 16:28, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

OK, I added my approval. It is preferable to have a well defined procedure than a situation where each administrator follows his own. Also warning the uploader does no harm. Sv1xv (talk) 19:05, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

You should not have deleted this image so fast. It is not an obvious copyright violation, so the deletion request should stay open for 7 days. During this period someone could possibly identify the artist or prove that it is anonymous before 1939. Sv1xv (talk) 22:29, 8 November 2009 (UTC)

It is a duplicate of File:Rail motor poster.jpg which is also up for deletion. - Rjd0060 (talk) 13:47, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

Why did you ban me from the #wikimedia-commons IRC channel?

I'm User:Swusr (Ionas_Freeman on IRC), and an outside source informs me that it was you who banned me without my notice. Why would that be? --Jonas Rand 216.241.55.204 03:09, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

Is this necessary? Commons doesn't have a banner. (thank God) Rocket000 (talk) 00:27, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

I'm not sure it is going to remain banner-less. No harm in leaving it until the campaign ends in January. - Rjd0060 (talk) 14:36, 4 December 2009 (UTC)
Ok, but maybe remove the option in the preferences until it's needed? Not a big deal either way I guess. Rocket000 (talk) 17:46, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

OTRS for file

Hi! Do you know anything about this file File:Sls-logo.jpg? It seems you were the last person to "touch" the OTRS-permission. I just added it because I found the permission on the image on de-wiki. --MGA73 (talk) 11:04, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

Looking for advice to make sure I obtain copyright permission properly

It appears to me that you are copyright knowledgeable. I have a question, don't see an obvious place to ask it, so I thought I'd ask you.

I have a scan of a photograph I'd like to add to Nera White. Not one of our more "important" articles, but important to me. I happened to be in correspondence with Nera's son, and asked if he could supply me with a photograph. He did, but before I upload it, I want to make sure I cross my t's and get the right permission. I found Commons:Email templates, with specific wording, but it assumes you can link to the image. The image isn't online.

I didn't want to put it online, then ask for permission, partly because that doesn't sound like the right sequence, partly because I don't know the person well, and our past interchanges have had gaps of weeks.

Then I found Commons:OTRS, which suggests it is OK to upload, with an OTRS pending template. However, scanning the talk page, it sounds like there is a fairly limited timeframe.

I'm now thinking about doing the following:

I will email the permissions wording to Nera's son, asking him to clarify with his mother that she is fine with the permission (he's actually already done that, but I know you want the right wording). He can identify a date he will plan to send the permission, and I will arrange to upload the scanned image a day or two before, so that there isn't a long gap between the upload and the receipt of permission.

I'd like to do this right the first time, so can you tell me if you think this sequence will work?--Sphilbrick (talk) 23:21, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

I found a place to ask copyright question, so I'll ask there.Sphilbrick (talk) 13:46, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

Why screenshot with OTRS permission deleted?

Hi Rjd0060, I just saw you deleted the screenshot I had uploaded today: File:Wiki_PSF_Lab_2.4_beta_screenshot_1.PNG Following http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Permission#Using_OTRS_to_gain_permission I have requested and obtained the free license (GFDL) for the screenshot from the copyright holder. I have forwarded the email permission to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org today at 1:40PM (CST). The image was tagged with "OTRS pending" as recommended. So, why did you delete the image? I cannot tag it with "free screenshot" since the software it shows is not free, only the screenshot is free, that is why I used the "Non-free software screenshot" tag. I am new to this, so please let me know how I can upload a screenshot (for which I have the free GFDL license permission) for a copyrighted software correctly.

Thanks, Whisperingdrop (talk) 20:57, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
