Image Tagging Image:Samsplint_in_use.jpg
[edit]
Thanks for uploading Image:Samsplint_in_use.jpg. This image is missing permission information. A source is given, but there is no proof that the author or copyright holder agreed to license the file under the given license. Please provide a link to an appropriate webpage with license information, or send an email with copy of a written permission to OTRS (permissions-commons@wikimedia.org).
Unless the permission information is given, the image may be speedy deleted after seven days. Thank you. —LX (talk, contribs) 23:11, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
- Hi LX. I'm new at image uploading, so perhaps I've overlooked something. The image came from http://www.kk.org/cooltools/archives/000137.php, which displays a Creative Commons icon, linking to http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/1.0/, which summarizes the actual license. It looks to me like the author allows free non-commercial distribution. So, where have I erred? Thanks. Cmichael 23:28, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
- Always place a link to a page such as the above where the licensing is displayed. Also, what evidence do we have that the site owner is the actual copyright holder of that image? They display a number of images of different styles and resolutions on their web site, including book covers, without providing photo credits or clearly asserting that they are the copyright holder. —LX (talk, contribs) 06:14, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
- OK. This is more trouble than it is worth. I've removed the link to the image from the article. Go ahead and delete the image. Thanks. Cmichael 12:13, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Samsplint roll tongs.gif. This media is missing permission information. A source is given, but there is no proof that the author or copyright holder agreed to license the file under the given license. Please provide a link to an appropriate webpage with license information, or ask the author or copyright holder to send an email with copy of a written permission to VRT (permissions-commons@wikimedia.org). You may still be required to go through this procedure even if you are the author yourself; please see Commons:But it's my own work! for more details. After you emailed permission, you may replace the {{No permission since}} tag with {{subst:PP}} on file description page. Alternatively, you may click on "Challenge speedy deletion" below the tag if you wish to provide an argument why evidence of permission is not necessary in this case.
Please see this page for more information on how to confirm permission, or if you would like to understand why we ask for permission when uploading work that is not your own, or work which has been previously published (regardless of whether it is your own). The file probably has been deleted. If you sent a permission, try to send it again after 14 days. Do not re-upload. When the VRT-member processes your mail, the file can be undeleted. Additionally you can request undeletion here, providing a link to the File-page on Commons where it was uploaded ([[:File:Samsplint roll tongs.gif]] ) and the above demanded information in your request. |

I have e-mailed the Sam Splint company, who kindly provided the image in the first place, and asked them to deal with this issue. Cmichael (talk) 04:22, 19 May 2010 (UTC)
