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).

Thanks for uploading File:Sampling paint for lead in Madagascar, to enforce limits to lead content in paint.jpg. 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). Warning: unless the permission information is given, the file may be deleted after seven days. Thank you. |

I've also tagged the following three files with the same problem: File:An adult and child walk by beds set up with anti-malarial nets in Tanzania.jpg, File:Two children peek out from under an anti-malarial bednet in Zimbabwe.jpg, File:Net Demonstration Malawi, Ntcheu Jan 2012.jpg. If the AMF has given permission to release these files under the stated license, please do forward proof of this to Commons:VRT. Thanks! —Granger (talk · contribs) 19:17, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
- Hi @Mx. Granger, I have given the organizations who own the copyright the email template, and they will be sending in an email to release the permissions officially. Will let you know who the sender is after the email is sent. Ruthgrace (talk) 22:40, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks. There's no need to post the email address publicly; once the email has been sent to VRT, they should be able to take care of it. —Granger (talk · contribs) 16:44, 11 March 2022 (UTC)

- Hi @Paul 012, thank you so much for letting me know. I will work with the organization to see if they can release the images with the correct licensing, and remove the images otherwise. Ruthgrace (talk) 19:31, 26 March 2022 (UTC)
- Hi @Paul 012, I checked with the organization and they are unable to release the image for non commercial use at this time. Please remove the images. Thank you for checking. Ruthgrace (talk) 17:08, 30 March 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks for the update. The images appear to have since been deleted. --Paul_012 (talk) 07:52, 31 March 2022 (UTC)
