File permissions and source discussion 30 May 2022

This photo is not public domain. I Jon K. Chang scanned the photo and used it for my article, an article which I co authored with Dr. Jae Park. Park then sent to wikipedia and wrote that all photos were public domain. He did not have this right. The photo belongs to this article and this article should be exclusively cited. The photo was not anonymous. I went to Uzbekistan where Dr. Park has never been and scanned the photos after I also paid Kim Pen Hva museum and their director a fee for them showing me the museum and allowing me to see their photographs. Therefore, please cite this article when using the photograph- "Soviet Koreans: Redemption through Labour and Sport," The Eurasia Studies Society Journal 2, no. 3 (London: 1988), 2. See footnote 8 of the article- Jon K. Chang collected the photos (Dr. Park did not go to Uzbekistan and has never been there), footnote 8 reads, "In the years 2006-2010, Jon Chang, the co-author conducted interviews with roughly 59 Soviet Korean deportees in Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan. The subjects were from 7-24 years of age at the time of their deportation (1937) from the Russian Far East."

Again the photo was taken in 1937, the digitization was made by Jon K. Chang and permission obtained by Jon K. Chang. Dr. Jae Park told wiki that it was an open source photograph which it is not.

It should be correctly cited as the following: "Soviet Koreans: Redemption through Labour and Sport," The Eurasia Studies Society Journal 2, no. 3 (London: 1988), 2

Source is both Kim Pen Hva Museum and Jon K. Chang (digitization of the said photo- in 2008 to 2010 none of their photos were digitized).

I received recorded permission to use the photographs which are not digitized. They were digitized by myself, Jon K. Chang. Also the permission to use the photos was written given to Jon K. Chang from Emilia Ten who was the director of the Kim Pen Hva museum in 2008-2010 when I was visiting there (several times).

If you need more proof, please contact Jon K. Chang at jonntexas@gmail.com — Preceding unsigned comment added by Who-knows-nose (talk • contribs) 12:49, 30 May 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for notifying of this and providing the correct citation, much appreciated. I removed the public domain license, also updated the source with corresponding academic article. As for file rights, there is a simple procedure. On Wikimedia a user needs to provide written evidence for the license of a file. This goes through the COM:VRT (Volunteer Response Team). The COM:VRT link goes over all the details on contacting them. The page for submitting files is COM:RELGEN (Release Generator), but I recommend contacting VRT first. Let me know if all this was clear or if you have further questions. -- Rauisuchian (talk) 04:56, 9 June 2022 (UTC)

One small note on this. VRT is just an anonymized "contact us" page where you say you have the copyright. The other images should be a simpler process to get uploaded/updated if they start off with the right license. Rauisuchian (talk) 13:18, 9 June 2022 (UTC)

The release generator may be the easiest way for this existing photo. -- Rauisuchian (talk) 18:50, 9 June 2022 (UTC)
