User talk:EPFL-MEDIACOM

Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, EPFL-MEDIACOM!

First steps tutorial Our first steps tour and our frequently asked questions will help you a lot after registration. They explain how to customize the interface (for example the language), how to upload files and our basic licensing policy (Wikimedia Commons only accepts free content). You don't need technical skills in order to contribute here. Be bold when contributing and assume good faith when interacting with others. This is a wiki. Getting help More information is available at the community portal. You may ask questions at the help desk, village pump or on IRC channel #wikimedia-commons (webchat). You can also contact an administrator on their talk page. If you have a specific copyright question, ask at the copyright village pump.

Goodies, tips, and tricks Put Babel boxes on your user page so others know what languages you can speak and indicate your graphic abilities. You can find the files you have uploaded in your Uploads. Please sign your name on Talk pages by typing ~~~~. To link to an image page without embedding the image, type: [[:File:Foo.jpg]], which produces: File:Foo.jpg. You may enable gadgets (custom features) for your account. There are several tools to upload files. Have you edited Wikipedia before? This guide might be useful. Made a mistake? Do you want to have a file renamed or moved? Use the move link and wait for an authorized user to rename it. Do you want to have your recently uploaded picture removed? Tag it as {{speedy|reason here}}. For more information read the deletion guidelines.

Hello, EPFL-MEDIACOM. Thanks for utilizing the COM:OTRS process to grant free use of File:200901 EPFL Wendy Lee Queen Portrait.jpg. I would suggest that free use rights for every photograph originally taken by employees of the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne be confirmed via OTRS because the institution's English-language website claims that all work is "© 2020 EPFL, all rights reserved". Currently, File:200918 EPFL Raffaella Buonsanti Portrait.jpg, File:191030 EPFL Claudia R. Binder.jpg, File:208031 EPFL David Suter Sox2.jpg, File:200831 EPFL David Suter Portrait cut.jpg, File:Portrait of Jacques Fellay in 2020.jpg, File:Bart Deplancke Portrait 2017.jpg, File:200902 EPFL Joachim Lingner Portrait.jpg, File:200903 EPFL Aude Billard Portrait.jpg, File:200903 EPFL Katerina Argyraki Portrait.jpg, File:200915 EPFL Pierre Gönczy Cropped RPE1 EXPANSION AcTubA647m btubA594r v4.png, File:200915 EPFL Pierre Gönczy Portrait.jpg, File:Paola Viganò.jpg, File:Urs von Gunten.jpg, File:Michele de Palma in 2011.jpg, File:Andrea Rinaldo in 2020.jpg, File:200915 EPFL Pierre Gönczy Two Cell Embryo.png, File:200916 EPFL Raffaella Buonsanti Portrait.jpg, File:20200917 EPFL Suliana Manley Portrait.jpg, File:Anders Meibom in 2020.jpg, and File:Konrad Steffen in 2012.jpg are credited to the EPFL but are not tagged. I advise that any future uploads of any work credited to the EPFL be accompanied by the OTRS tag. Thanks. Vycl1994 (talk) 17:21, 20 September 2020 (UTC)

Hello, Vycl1994! Thanks for advising. Am I allowed to use the OTRS tag from File:200901 EPFL Wendy Lee Queen Portrait.jpg on all the other uploaded images as I just did with File:200918 EPFL Raffaella Buonsanti Portrait.jpg? Many thanks! Best, EPFL-MEDIACOM (talk) 12:04, 22 September 2020 (UTC)

I am not an OTRS reviewer, so I have asked someone with the appropriate access to look into it. You are welcome to follow the discussion. Vycl1994 (talk) 22:58, 22 September 2020 (UTC)

@Vycl1994, Diannaa, Fitindia, Túrelio, and Josve05a: I am sorry for the miscommunication. The text we were sent conflicted with a file we were sent. I have asked for (and been granted) undeletion of two files redlinked on this page at COM:UDR#EPFL-MEDIACOM files.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 16:30, 24 November 2020 (UTC)

Hi, per metadata (C) is by "Alain Herzog". So, he needs to confirm the license to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org . --Túrelio (talk) 08:52, 7 October 2020 (UTC)

Hello Túrelio, we have a ticket for that. Who can we state that? Which of the two has to posted in the permission section? "permission={{PermissionOTRS|id=2020091610019129}}" or [[Ticket:2020091610019129]]. Most of the pictures uploaded are by Alain Herzog and owned by EPFL that releases the rights to CC4.0.

Thanks for your advice! Best, EPFL-MEDIACOM (talk) 12:36, 24 November 2020 (UTC)

Please use neither. Instead, I have taken the liberty of creating {{EPFL}} for you as "a general [template] for all [your] uploads", so all you need to do is use "{{EPFL}}" as the license, without further ado. That categorizes your 45 files into Category:Portraits from École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 16:38, 24 November 2020 (UTC)

Dear Jeff G., that is great news. Many thanks indeed for your clarification, assistance and your kind help! We shall use the license as you did it for the other uploads from now on. Thanks again and kind regards, EPFL-MEDIACOM (talk) 08:12, 25 November 2020 (UTC)
