Hi Vleit,
it is not enough to write "permission granted". You have to provide a permission by the photographer and eventually also by the depicted person (depending on applicable personality rights in your country) to OTRS. --Túrelio (talk) 19:28, 11 April 2011 (UTC)

copied over from my talkpage, as I want to archived that discussion and as I'm not sure you read my answer

Regarding this file. It was sent to me by the subject for his Wikipedia page. I have his permission to make it public (see below). What more is required? Thanks, Vleit

Part 1.1:

Dear Vleit,

As the promised page proofs from Mr. Salin have not yet arrived, I have used the weekend for writing mysteries, starting a Facebook page (I do not know yet how it works; I have to ask Jan-Erik for every new step), writing the English version of my homepage (to be installed today, I hope) and writing an English version of my Wikipedia entry (see attachment). As I cannot put it up myself, I was wondering if either you could do that for me, or if you know somebody who might do it.

The text is nearly identical with the German version (of which I do not know who put it up), with a few omissions of German stuff and a few additions regarding English publications.

To have an English Wikipedia entry might be useful when it comes to the question of having something translated into English. That refers to both the scientific books (Die Nordsee, Das Eiszeitalter) and the crime novels. The next novel which will come out in June is set in 1938, and it might have a (small) chance to find an English publisher, because that period is of some interest in Britain - see Hans Fallada's "Alone in Berlin".

Many regards from all of us. Best wishes, Jürgen.

The problem is that "for Wikipedia" is not enough to be uploaded to Commons. We require all uploads to be under a so-called free license, that allows others to use the images for any purpose (incl. commercial), at least in regard to copyright. Other restrictions, as personality rights, may apply. Therefore, we need a release under a specific license. As the depicted lives in Germany, please go to Commons:Emailvorlagen#Einverständniserklärung (Rechte-Inhaber), copy the boxed text, enter the filename and the name of a license of the rights holder's choice (recommended is Creative-Commons-BY-SA; for a human-understandable explaination see here). Then mail all together to the rights holder (this assumes that the depicted did also shoot this photo! if this is not the case, the depicted has to ask this permission from the photographer) and ask him to read the text and, if he agrees, to put his legal name and the date under it and to mail it back to permissions-commons-de@wikimedia.org. Thereafter one of our OTRS volunteers will check the permission and issue a so-called OTRS ticket to the image (equivalent to o.k.). --Túrelio (talk) 20:09, 11 April 2011 (UTC)
