 Comment Ticket in permissions-de queue. --Ganímedes (talk) 23:43, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I want to know the whole conversation. In their site they use lower resolution, however anyone can find the high resolution version on [www-old.cev.eu]. So does the permission apply both? Elenktra (talk) 14:22, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

GeoJSON under OGL3.0

[edit]

Hello team I have identified a couple of datasets (GeoJSON in particular) that are currently under a Open Government Licence 3.0. These are from NatureScot and Scottish Government (SIMD datazones). Am I (as an editor) permitted to bulk upload these GeoJSON files using OpenRefine? Or would I need to contact the copyright holders first? I am then hoping to connect the data to the relevant Wikidata items for each datazone. Many thanks in advance for the assistance and advice. Drkirstyross (talk) 11:19, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

19 files were deleleted without any reason, if course there was a permission mail (german). And there was a "nonsense" request (sorry to say so), which was answered (without further reply, iirc). Please undelete as soon as possible. --Subbass1 (talk) 20:45, 22 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Subbass1: There is always a reason. Did you follow the emailed instructions?   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 00:49, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, *I see* no reason. Perhaps some german should jump in here for clearing. (Strange that my files are processed nearly always by the same person (krd)). PS There also were files which weren't affected by the (answered, nonsense, imho) request. I really see it as a bad style then to delete them altogether, sorry. --Subbass1 (talk) 05:48, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment Krd is an admin. He starts almost all tickets in several languages. He's *by far* one of the most active VRT agents, if not the most. So, it's not strange that he processes nearly always your files ... I've checked with the help of Google and I'm not sure to understand the problem. I saw Krd made some questions and request to do something but I'm not sure to fully understand the problem. Can you please clarify a little bit (here or in the ticket, but in English so I can try to follow, please). --Ganímedes (talk) 15:54, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, but no, sorry, I'm not willing to argue the whole story in english. I'll wait for help by german admins. PS If you look up here, you'll see me asking for the very same ticket days/weeks before. At that time the files were online yet. No (helpful) answer there... --Subbass1 (talk) 19:17, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

general question: general permission

[edit]

Where can I send some sort of "general permission" (preferred as private mail)?From time to time I upload fotos from another (non-wiki) user and it would be much easier this way. I already do that this way for those pictures: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Photos_by_Wolfgang_Reich

Is a text (german) "Ich bestätige, dass User subbass1 bis auf Weiteres alle Bilder von mir unter der Lizenz CC BY SA 4 veröffentlichen darf. (Name/Unterschrift)" sufficient? Thanks, --Subbass1 (talk) 19:11, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Subbass1 The process is the same: ask to write to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org. The permission should look like: "I, XXX, give the permission to User:YYYY to upload photographs that I shot with license CC BY SA 4.0. The photos are taken with the <model> of camera." If the photographer's name/pseudo appears in the metadata, it's better. Cheers Ruthven (msg) 09:55, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, will do...

Ticket permissions have been added to File:Metawin Opas-iamkajorn visiting Prada Shine Pop-Up Store at Siam Paragon.jpg by the IP user (diff). Could someone please check the status of this ticket? Syunsyunminmin (talk) 12:56, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Invalid. --Krd 14:59, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Help

[edit]

I have sent severals permission email for my image uploads before my username has been changed (https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Lahsim_Niasoh&diff=prev&oldid=889314587). Then I just manually renamed my new username to my files authorship (those files were also captured by myself). Before my username was Yubrajhn and new username is Lahsim Niasoh. So please review those files, I didn't give authorship to another person. Two username is mine and I am the author + those files were uploaded by me. Again I am very sorry for my behavior. Please take a step so that my new username manually changes to files authorship don't affect to get the files copyright Permission. Thank you so much. My English is weak so please pardon me again.

@Lahsim Niasoh: ✓ Done. Thanks for the note. signed, Aafi (talk) 16:18, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

2010061710041251 Studio Hartcourt released images under a "Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported" license. Does their license cover all Studio Hartcourt images, or just the ones they uploaded? There is a movement to delete all the pre 1929 to 1991 images because they are under an active copyright. RAN (talk) 04:33, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

First, let me be mindful this is an older ticket from 2010. I think nowadays we would have not accepted it as such, it's a bit vague, but as to your question I think it's safe to say that the images uploaded under the specific account are okay, and the release does not cover any future uploads beyond the ones made by User:Studio Harcourt. I'd appreciate if a French speaker could confirm my review. Ciell (talk) 05:11, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
