He's apparently someone who replies to tickets on the info-en queue but doesn't seem to provide any indication as to their username, nor is the link between their username and real name public (that I can find). I need to ask him about a ticket sent by a blocked user who intended to confirm their identity but which (redacted) seems to have misunderstood. Can anyone point me towards the right person?

re Deletion pending for File:California topographical map of proposed HSR route (2014).jpg
I received an email authorizing use of this image, however, I did not know that I needed to forward this email to you. (Your rules are very complicated, and not well organized for a new user.) I DID put information from the email into the long, complicated image copyright form that you have. So, you already have authorizing information, if you care to look.
If you want the actual email, then I will have to look for it. Since it was a couple months ago, it is possible that I deleted it, and I will have to request another email again.
So, either look into the copyright info already saved for this file, or let me know that you need the actual email. In either case, I do not expect that this image should be deleted. If you have any issues with this, please email me at robert92111@twc.com AND benson@ucsd.edu so I can respond properly.
Thanks.

This weekend (when I next have access to my work email) I will check for the old email contact, and if I can't find it then I will contact the Authority again to get someone to fill in the permission. In the meantime, I would appreciate Wikipedia's cooperation with my good effort to get this done and not delete the file pending my getting the information.

The OTRS permission tag was added on 31 May 2013. Subsequently, a new image was uploaded with the same filename on 23 October 2013. This is a different image, not merely a new version of the original one. Please determine whether the permission on file applies to the current image with this filename.

Hi, I've recently improved the article on Reg Pollard (general) and I'm just a little leery of the supposed origin of the lead image ( File:PollardRG1963.2.jpg) as described on the Commons page, so was hoping to get it checked.

Subject's son gives permission to use image" and an in-bracket supposed quote from said son who gives authorization to Wikipedia to use the file, which isn't even a valid release if it is indeed legit.

I googled a request for help with a computer error I got on my computer and a link to Wikifixes came up. It is a scam corporation which downloads malware onto the computer if you click on it. At first glance, I thought it was affiliated with Wikipedia; however, it is not and it masquerades as being affiliated and endorsed by Wikipedia. I am still trying to get it off my computer and I still have the error message coming up.

Hello everyone, I just received confirmation that the copyright holder of an image I want to use has granted the Commons License, so the email went to "OTRS". How long does it take for the email to go through? I saw on another page that there is a 68 day backlog. That's horrifying. Please tell me that's not true. I've put the "OTRS Pending" note in the image's description but I know from experience that that kicks it off Wikimedia in about a week. How can anyone upload anything if the waiting period is 10x longer than the time the image is allowed to sit waiting for OTRS permission? I'm completely dumbfounded by this problem. It took me 2 months to get this permission. Was it all for nothing? Say it ain't so! Please advise. I'm at my wits' end. Any info is appreciated!

Can an OTRS volunteer take a look at these files and see if they are OK for upload as free? "JordiFolchPi" was lacking permission, but this seems to have be resolved by additional information added to the source for the image. The same was done for "AlbertFolch2.jpg", but not sure if this is sufficient since the file's metadata lists does not list the subject of the photo as the original copyright holder. Anyway, the uploader seems to be getting frustrated with having the same photos deleted or flagged for issues, so I'm hoping there's a way to help them out. They say that even though permission's emails were sent to OTRS, they have not yet be verified, so perhaps an OTRS volunteer can check into this for them. Thanks in advance. - Marchjuly ( talk) 22:54, 19 September 2015 (UTC)

Hello, I just came across Carla Fache. Apparently permission for the article's content (copied from the artist's website) has been validated via an OTRS-ticket (2011043010564379). Of course I understand, that OTRS is primarily about verification of permissions, and not about judging the suitability of such content. But still, it feels wrong to validate contributed content, when it violates several fundamental guidelines of Wikipedia ( WP:NOTPROMO, WP:NPOV, WP:SPS just to name a few). If such content is contributed, are the contributors informed about such possible problems? I appreciate, that OTRS-volunteers cannot proofread every single contribution, just wondering about the handling of such cases, and possible safety measures to prevent COI misuse.

The image was uploaded by me with the authorization of José Pereira Coutinho himself. It is an image that was edited with the background of the house added. This house is where the Parliament of Portugal is located in Lisbon. Many photos of Coutinho were taken on that site on that day (end of August 2015). However, none of the photos matched greatly with the background. Therefore, this photo is the combination of two photos that we own. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gicacoca ( talk • contribs) 14:46, 18 October 2015 (UTC)

Can an OTRS volunteer take a peek at
File:Robert Jolles.jpg. It's uploaded as non-free, but since this person is still living there is no reason not expect that a free equivalent cannot be created per
WP:NFCC#1. So, I have tagged it with {{
Di-replaceable fair use}}. However, the non-free use rationale seems to contain a statement stating from the original copyright holder, Merrill Worthington, which states: I agree to publish that work under the free license "Creative Commons Attribution-Sharealike 3.0" (unported) and GNU Free Documentation License (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts). I acknowledge that - by doing so - I will grant anyone the right to use the work in a commercial product or otherwise, and to modify it according to their needs, provided that they abide by the terms of the license and any other applicable laws.
I'm pretty sure that something more formal than this is needed for verification purposes, but maybe this would mean the image is really "free" and and should be tagged with {{
No permission}} instead. The "Di-replaceable fair use" tag gives the uploader only to November 1, 2015 to fix the problem, but the "no permission" would give them until November 12, which is a big difference. Thanks in advance. --

I added the NOINDEX because the individual with alias "Jay Stile" begged that the page " be taken down or blocked or something" because it was ruining his life, as it contained his real name. I told him the best I could do was NOINDEX after removing his real name. I would not say that the intention for removal was temporary at all.

The user has not responded to my request to clarify if he actually is Jason Graves, although it seems likely. The article has a seven-year-old OTRS ticket 2008120910029443 stating that Wikipedia was given permission to use copyrighted material.

Several weeks ago I created an article on the Australian potter Ian Sprague.

The potentially offended author has written giving her permission for her material to be used, but I have preferred to take the rewrite option. The duplication detector now shows nothing but repetition of personal and place names. Normally I would get back to Zpeopleheart to ask that the template be removed, but Zpeopleheart is now her/himself banned from editing for six months in relation to a different matter.

It's a pure formality, but could an OTRS-member please copy the OTRS-tag from Talk:Annefield (Saxe, Virginia) to Talk:Jacob W. Holt? Some partial content was moved between the articles with this edit in 2011: [3]. This content is based on the OTRS-verified source document (Section 8, Page 10).

This article has not been cleared by obtaining permission from a copyright holder, though this is available (see the article's Talk page). Instead the dubious paragraphs have been rewritten to the point where the Duplication Detector shows only proper names. So as the original author I would now like the warning template removed and do not know how to bring this about. If no one has the power to do this then presumably it is OK to remove it myself.

The above images were deleted by me for lacking evidence of permission in early December. The uploader contacted me and let me know that they emailed OTRS before I had deleted the images. Two months later, it seems that they have not yet received a response. I'm aware that there's currently a 112-day backlog, but would it be possible to have OTRS look into this case specifically? They state that they used an email affiliated with the university (probably @dongseo.ac.kr), if that helps. — ξ xplicit 02:44, 6 February 2016 (UTC)
The image NormSartoriusHomage2.jpg copyright release has been submitted to permissions. The rights hold holder is photographer Jim Osborn. He listed it as "NormSartoriusHomage.jpg" in his permission email. You can see that is it is the same image. Or I can rename it to correspond to his written permission.

Hi! I'm writing on behalf of Papersofgwashington, who filed a ticket through OTRS to give us permission to use material from their website. It's kind of turned into a perfect storm of sorts, since I haven't been on as much due to school and I sort of lost track of things with the page for The Washington Papers.
The editor and the project's director is very concerned that they would have to get rid of the page, so I was hoping to give them some good news with the OTRS ticket. I just posted and told them that this can take some time, but I figured that it wouldn't hurt to ask and give them an update. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 04:33, 19 February 2016 (UTC)

Hi! Can someone help me with the image File:Izzy Lee dark cropped hi res.jpg?
Long story short, I contacted the filmmaker in the hopes of gaining an image that can be used on her article. She was more than happy to donate an image and she's sent an e-mail to OTRS with the image and the required permissions. The e-mail address in question is (redacted) and the image was attached to the e-mail. She was told to upload the image and since she didn't have an account and wasn't entirely familiar with the process, I was asked to upload the image. I've placed an OTRS tag on the page and went through the whole image upload process, but now the image is tagged for deletion as a non-fair use image. I've posted a bit of a dispute on the image, but I need some help here.
What can I do to ensure that this image is not deleted? I'd posted an OTRS pending tag on the talk page, but that doesn't seem to have done anything and the image was still tagged. I've added the tag to the image main page itself as well. Considering that there's a huge OTRS backlog and the ticket can't be placed until the image has been uploaded and the deletion tag only gives me about 1-2 days, I'm concerned about its deletion.

It's not clear whether the OTRS permission applies to one photo or both of the photos.

While moving free images of historic landmarks to Commons, I came across many photos uploaded years ago by Anlace ( talk · contribs) that are attributed to a photographer named C. Michael Hogan. I am sure many more have already been copied to Commons. Some are licensed as {{ PD-release}} and some as {{ cc-by-sa-2.5}}. However, I am not able to determine if Anlace and Hogan are the same person - if not, the files are missing evidence of permission. Anlace has been asked previously on his talk page and not responded, and in fact has not edited for five years. I did notice, however, that two of the files - File:Tchaacrmacal.jpg and File:Roundbarnsocounty.jpg - have OTRS tickets. Based on the licenses in those OTRS tickets, can I assume that the license applies to all photos by Hogan uploaded by Anlace, or only those two particular photos? Thanks!

I just wanted to check that we're confident that this correction of a name per OTRS "copies of official documents" isn't part of a hoax. There was some weirdness (mentioned at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ed Banayoti) of various IPs and SPAs insisting that Princess Aisha of Jordan's husband was the Canadian defence contractor "Ed Banayoti" rather than "Ashraf Banayotti" and/or that they separated a month later. One account claimed to be Ed Banayoti, explained that the Royal Court announcement itself had a typo on it, and offered to send us his passport and wedding photos. If the OTRS is from that same person, it seems very odd that a member of the Jordanian royal family is concerned enough to send his passport to Wikipedia, but unable to get the Jordan Times to run any kind of correction. Is the OTRS material conclusive enough to rule out a worst-case hoax? -- McGeddon ( talk) 11:31, 20 June 2016 (UTC)

Hi! I was asked to help restore some basic personal information on the article for Vikram_Singh_(actor) on my talk page here, by Piyushratnu. (Just for disclosure's sake Piyushrantu is a COI editor. I've worked with him on various articles and he's always been careful to try to follow COI guidelines, so I can vouch for his trustworthiness.) One of the solutions I brought up was Singh confirming this via his Twitter account, where I would ask him a direct question that he would answer with specific detail, as the info we want to restore is something basic like date of birth, birth location, and parentage, as well as his siblings. Another option was news coverage, however Indian news papers are less likely to report on this since it's seen as far less important than his movie roles - something I can vouch for, as someone who has searched Indian newspapers for various articles.
The question was asked if the actor's passport and Pan Card could be used to verify some of his personal data. Obviously this shouldn't be posted to Wikipedia, but maybe it could be sent to OTRS and there can be a ticket on the page? It could also help to verify his Twitter account, in case someone wanted to challenge that. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 06:40, 30 June 2016 (UTC)

Hi, On August 7 I put a picture up on wikipedia, and had the owner of the picture send an email with the permission letter to Wikipedia, but the picture still does not have the permission tag. Can I put the picture on the Wiki article without the correct tag on the picture, or is it better if I wait? And if so, how long can I expect it to take. It says that the backlog is only 6 days long, and the permission was sent before that time. Thanks so much.

I was requested to provide confirmation the image used on /info/en/?search=Tim_Bedding page was free of copyright. It is. I was provided the image by Tim Bedding himself and he authorised me to load the picture on the site. I have also sent an email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org confirming this.

re Deletion pending for File:California topographical map of proposed HSR route (2014).jpg
I received an email authorizing use of this image, however, I did not know that I needed to forward this email to you. (Your rules are very complicated, and not well organized for a new user.) I DID put information from the email into the long, complicated image copyright form that you have. So, you already have authorizing information, if you care to look.
If you want the actual email, then I will have to look for it. Since it was a couple months ago, it is possible that I deleted it, and I will have to request another email again.
So, either look into the copyright info already saved for this file, or let me know that you need the actual email. In either case, I do not expect that this image should be deleted. If you have any issues with this, please email me at robert92111@twc.com AND benson@ucsd.edu so I can respond properly.

Hello everyone, I just received confirmation that the copyright holder of an image I want to use has granted the Commons License, so the email went to "OTRS". How long does it take for the email to go through? I saw on another page that there is a 68 day backlog. That's horrifying. Please tell me that's not true. I've put the "OTRS Pending" note in the image's description but I know from experience that that kicks it off Wikimedia in about a week. How can anyone upload anything if the waiting period is 10x longer than the time the image is allowed to sit waiting for OTRS permission? I'm completely dumbfounded by this problem. It took me 2 months to get this permission. Was it all for nothing? Say it ain't so! Please advise. I'm at my wits' end. Any info is appreciated!

Can an OTRS volunteer take a look at these files and see if they are OK for upload as free? "JordiFolchPi" was lacking permission, but this seems to have be resolved by additional information added to the source for the image. The same was done for "AlbertFolch2.jpg", but not sure if this is sufficient since the file's metadata lists does not list the subject of the photo as the original copyright holder. Anyway, the uploader seems to be getting frustrated with having the same photos deleted or flagged for issues, so I'm hoping there's a way to help them out. They say that even though permission's emails were sent to OTRS, they have not yet be verified, so perhaps an OTRS volunteer can check into this for them.

Hello, I just came across Carla Fache. Apparently permission for the article's content (copied from the artist's website) has been validated via an OTRS-ticket (2011043010564379). Of course I understand, that OTRS is primarily about verification of permissions, and not about judging the suitability of such content. But still, it feels wrong to validate contributed content, when it violates several fundamental guidelines of Wikipedia ( WP:NOTPROMO, WP:NPOV, WP:SPS just to name a few). If such content is contributed, are the contributors informed about such possible problems? I appreciate, that OTRS-volunteers cannot proofread every single contribution, just wondering about the handling of such cases, and possible safety measures to prevent COI misuse.

The image was uploaded by me with the authorization of José Pereira Coutinho himself. It is an image that was edited with the background of the house added. This house is where the Parliament of Portugal is located in Lisbon. Many photos of Coutinho were taken on that site on that day (end of August 2015). However, none of the photos matched greatly with the background.

Can an OTRS volunteer take a peek at
File:Robert Jolles.jpg. It's uploaded as non-free, but since this person is still living there is no reason not expect that a free equivalent cannot be created per
WP:NFCC#1. So, I have tagged it with {{
Di-replaceable fair use}}. However, the non-free use rationale seems to contain a statement stating from the original copyright holder, Merrill Worthington, which states: I agree to publish that work under the free license "Creative Commons Attribution-Sharealike 3.0" (unported) and GNU Free Documentation License (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts). I acknowledge that - by doing so - I will grant anyone the right to use the work in a commercial product or otherwise, and to modify it according to their needs, provided that they abide by the terms of the license and any other applicable laws.
I'm pretty sure that something more formal than this is needed for verification purposes, but maybe this would mean the image is really "free" and and should be tagged with {{
No permission}} instead. The "Di-replaceable fair use" tag gives the uploader only to November 1, 2015 to fix the problem, but the "no permission" would give them until November 12, which is a big difference. Thanks in advance. --

Stile Project contains: __NOINDEX__ <!-- do not remove this. It is an OTRS-related insertion -->... why? The Quixotic Potato ( talk) 02:16, 13 November 2015 (UTC)
I added the NOINDEX because the individual with alias "Jay Stile" begged that the page " be taken down or blocked or something" because it was ruining his life, as it contained his real name. I told him the best I could do was NOINDEX after removing his real name. I would not say that the intention for removal was temporary at all. I haven't been policing the page, and cannot devote my life to doing so. So I'd say that the NOINDEX should stay, as long as there's a risk that the real name could be added back at any time.

Request a license check on the above file (OTRS ticket added by non-OTRS member). Kelly hi! 19:52, 19 November 2015 (UTC)
Request check on this file, as the editor who added the ticket isn't shown as having OTRS rights (perhaps a past member)? Also hoping for creator information, this appears to be an old television screenshot, not a photo. (Perhaps explained by the fact that the subject is a television engineer?)

A new account User:Jason Graves has recently copied verbatim from http://www.jasongraves.com/ to Jason Graves. The website states "© 2014 Jason W. Graves. Material from this website may not be copied or retransmitted without written consent of the author." The user has not responded to my request to clarify if he actually is Jason Graves, although it seems likely. The article has a seven-year-old OTRS ticket 2008120910029443 stating that Wikipedia was given permission to use copyrighted material. The account currently adding copyrighted material from the website was created just a few days ago and thus cannot be the same as the one which proved his identity and gave permission to use the copyrighted material. I'm not sure how this works.

Several weeks ago I created an article on the Australian potter Ian Sprague. Zpeopleheart drew my attention to an apparent copyright violation in the second and third paragraphs, and accordingly brought them under a violation template. The potentially offended author has written giving her permission for her material to be used, but I have preferred to take the rewrite option. The duplication detector now shows nothing but repetition of personal and place names. Normally I would get back to Zpeopleheart to ask that the template be removed, but Zpeopleheart is now her/himself banned from editing for six months in relation to a different matter. Could someone with the authority please take a look at the article and remove the template if that is appropriate? Erictimewell ( talk) 09:47, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

It's a pure formality, but could an OTRS-member please copy the OTRS-tag from Talk:Annefield (Saxe, Virginia) to Talk:Jacob W. Holt?

This article has not been cleared by obtaining permission from a copyright holder, though this is available (see the article's Talk page). Instead the dubious paragraphs have been rewritten to the point where the Duplication Detector shows only proper names. So as the original author I would now like the warning template removed and do not know how to bring this about. If no one has the power to do this then presumably it is OK to remove it myself.

The above images were deleted by me for lacking evidence of permission in early December. The uploader contacted me and let me know that they emailed OTRS before I had deleted the images. Two months later, it seems that they have not yet received a response. I'm aware that there's currently a 112-day backlog, but would it be possible to have OTRS look into this case specifically? They state that they used an email affiliated with the university (probably @dongseo.ac.kr), if that helps. — ξ xplicit 02:44, 6 February 2016 (UTC)
The image NormSartoriusHomage2.jpg copyright release has been submitted to permissions. The rights hold holder is photographer Jim Osborn.

Hi! I'm writing on behalf of Papersofgwashington, who filed a ticket through OTRS to give us permission to use material from their website. It's kind of turned into a perfect storm of sorts, since I haven't been on as much due to school and I sort of lost track of things with the page for The Washington Papers.
The editor and the project's director is very concerned that they would have to get rid of the page, so I was hoping to give them some good news with the OTRS ticket. I just posted and told them that this can take some time, but I figured that it wouldn't hurt to ask and give them an update. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 04:33, 19 February 2016 (UTC)

Hi! Can someone help me with the image File:Izzy Lee dark cropped hi res.jpg?
Long story short, I contacted the filmmaker in the hopes of gaining an image that can be used on her article. She was more than happy to donate an image and she's sent an e-mail to OTRS with the image and the required permissions. The e-mail address in question is (redacted) and the image was attached to the e-mail. She was told to upload the image and since she didn't have an account and wasn't entirely familiar with the process, I was asked to upload the image. I've placed an OTRS tag on the page and went through the whole image upload process, but now the image is tagged for deletion as a non-fair use image. I've posted a bit of a dispute on the image, but I need some help here.
What can I do to ensure that this image is not deleted? I'd posted an OTRS pending tag on the talk page, but that doesn't seem to have done anything and the image was still tagged. I've added the tag to the image main page itself as well. Considering that there's a huge OTRS backlog and the ticket can't be placed until the image has been uploaded and the deletion tag only gives me about 1-2 days, I'm concerned about its deletion.

It's not clear whether the OTRS permission applies to one photo or both of the photos.

While moving free images of historic landmarks to Commons, I came across many photos uploaded years ago by Anlace ( talk · contribs) that are attributed to a photographer named C. Michael Hogan. I am sure many more have already been copied to Commons. Some are licensed as {{ PD-release}} and some as {{ cc-by-sa-2.5}}. However, I am not able to determine if Anlace and Hogan are the same person - if not, the files are missing evidence of permission. Anlace has been asked previously on his talk page and not responded, and in fact has not edited for five years. I did notice, however, that two of the files - File:Tchaacrmacal.jpg and File:Roundbarnsocounty.jpg - have OTRS tickets. Based on the licenses in those OTRS tickets, can I assume that the license applies to all photos by Hogan uploaded by Anlace, or only those two particular photos? Thanks!

RE Your recent copyright message to me, I can confirm I have now sent to the permissions-en address, the permission to use the image noted below. Your original text is copied below for your reference
"Hello, Crisbbacon. Some time ago, a file you uploaded — File:MandyBoylett - Politician-Singer Image Apr16.jpg — was tagged with {{ OTRS pending}}, indicating that you (or perhaps the copyright holder if you did not create this image) submitted a statement of permission to permissions-en@wikimedia.org. Though there is often a backlog processing messages received at this address, we should have received your message by now.
If you have not submitted (or forwarded) a statement of permission, please send it immediately to permissions-en@wikimedia.org and let us know at the OTRS noticeboard that you have done so."
(Raising this here after User:Ronhjones - who applied the edit - suggested I get a second opinion, after I raised it on his talk page.)
I just wanted to check that we're confident that this correction of a name per OTRS "copies of official documents" isn't part of a hoax. There was some weirdness (mentioned at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ed Banayoti) of various IPs and SPAs insisting that Princess Aisha of Jordan's husband was the Canadian defence contractor "Ed Banayoti" rather than "Ashraf Banayotti" and/or that they separated a month later. One account claimed to be Ed Banayoti, explained that the Royal Court announcement itself had a typo on it, and offered to send us his passport and wedding photos. If the OTRS is from that same person, it seems very odd that a member of the Jordanian royal family is concerned enough to send his passport to Wikipedia, but unable to get the Jordan Times to run any kind of correction. Is the OTRS material conclusive enough to rule out a worst-case hoax? -- McGeddon ( talk) 11:31, 20 June 2016 (UTC)

Hi! I was asked to help restore some basic personal information on the article for Vikram_Singh_(actor) on my talk page here, by Piyushratnu. (Just for disclosure's sake Piyushrantu is a COI editor. I've worked with him on various articles and he's always been careful to try to follow COI guidelines, so I can vouch for his trustworthiness.) One of the solutions I brought up was Singh confirming this via his Twitter account, where I would ask him a direct question that he would answer with specific detail, as the info we want to restore is something basic like date of birth, birth location, and parentage, as well as his siblings. Another option was news coverage, however Indian news papers are less likely to report on this since it's seen as far less important than his movie roles - something I can vouch for, as someone who has searched Indian newspapers for various articles.
The question was asked if the actor's passport and Pan Card could be used to verify some of his personal data. Obviously this shouldn't be posted to Wikipedia, but maybe it could be sent to OTRS and there can be a ticket on the page?

Standards have changed in OTRS permission. I don't believe the permission granted at that time would be considered best practices today.. I probably overstated it, though. Jo-Jo Eumerus ( talk, contributions) 14:19, 10 July 2016 (UTC)
I deleted the above three files for lacking evidence of permission in mid-June. There was no confirmation since its upload in February. However, the uploader contacted me, claiming that the issue was resolved in March. The ticket number is #2016022210012804. Can someone take a look into this and see if the permission is sufficient? — ξ xplicit 00:27, 11 July 2016 (UTC)
Could someone perhaps have a look at this file? There's a ticket number, but no OTRS template. Thanks! -- Randykitty ( talk) 13:43, 19 July 2016 (UTC)

Hi, On August 7 I put a picture up on wikipedia, and had the owner of the picture send an email with the permission letter to Wikipedia, but the picture still does not have the permission tag. Can I put the picture on the Wiki article without the correct tag on the picture, or is it better if I wait? And if so, how long can I expect it to take. It says that the backlog is only 6 days long, and the permission was sent before that time. Thanks so much. Here is the URL of the picture. /info/en/?search=File:Don_Slager_Portrait.jpeg Paintbynumber ( talk) 10:51, 18 August 2016 (UTC)

Hi, I put up a photo /info/en/?search=File:Jimmy_John%27s_Owner_Jimmy_John_Liautaud_Presents_$1_Million_Check_to_Folds_of_Honor.jpg but the permission email from the owner of the photo sent the email to the wrong address- he sent it to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org by mistake. Can you look there for the email giving permission? I would really appreciate it, thanks. Wineconnoisseur2016 ( talk) 07:00, 23 August 2016 (UTC)

Hello
I was requested to provide confirmation the image used on /info/en/?search=Tim_Bedding page was free of copyright. It is. I was provided the image by Tim Bedding himself and he authorised me to load the picture on the site. I have also sent an email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org confirming this. Tim Bedding can provide a further authorisation to use his own image if required.
Regards
