Query to Green Party[edit]

Jeff G., I've sent a query to the Green Party with regards to the licensing status:

"I'm a Wikipedia editor. Files for Wikipedia (e.g. photos) are held on Wikimedia Commons. They need to be freely licensed before they can be used on Wikipedia. There's some uncertainty around the licensing status of 34 photos plus your logo. We would need to sort this out so that these files don't get deleted (i.e. the various biographies would lose their photos).
Could somebody who can make a call on copyright issues please look into this with some urgency, and then comment? Preferably directly on this page (no account needed; just say who you are). Alternatively, you can reply to this email address and I can post your response to that page."

Let's hope that we'll hear back soon. Ideally, we get this re-licensed as CC-BY-SA-4.0. Schwede66 04:52, 23 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

"Kia ora
Thank you for your email. I have forwarded it to our Parliamentary team to be sent to the appropriate person. We appreciate you taking the time to write to us.
Nga mihi"
Initial response received - on Anzac Day! Schwede66 00:02, 25 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Schwede66: Thanks, that's more than I got (nothing). Which address did you email?   — Jeff G. ツ 00:23, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Jeff G.: I sent it to greenparty at greens dot org dot nz, and I got copied in with the forward. I'll follow up with that contact. Schwede66 06:38, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

We have sent a release by email to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org. Keep up the good work! Kind regards. 202.22.30.101 21:53, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Perfect - you have found the correct email template. Thanks for copying me in. Jeff G., FYI. Schwede66 22:01, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]


@Schwede66: Thank you, folks! Per Ticket:2017042610025609, all 35 files are now licensed as {{Cc-by-sa-4.0}}.   — Jeff G. ツ 03:46, 28 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you to all involved in getting this sorted your work is greatly appreciated. I am just curious what the ticket says specifically as I have no experience with OTRS, or access either. Is the {{Cc-by-sa-4.0}} license only for these specific files or for all files from their website past/present/future? Kiwichris (talk) 04:58, 28 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Kiwichris, I got copied in with the email that went to OTRS. It's specific to the files that were listed here. Schwede66 05:05, 28 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Cool, thanks for the quick reply. Kiwichris (talk) 05:11, 28 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
