Welcome to Wikimedia Commons, Ruthgrace!

First steps tutorial Our first steps tour and our frequently asked questions will help you a lot after registration. They explain how to customize the interface (for example the language), how to upload files and our basic licensing policy (Wikimedia Commons only accepts free content). You don't need technical skills in order to contribute here. Be bold when contributing and assume good faith when interacting with others. This is a wiki. Getting help 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). You can also contact an administrator on their talk page. If you have a specific copyright question, ask at the copyright village pump.

Goodies, tips, and tricks Put Babel boxes on your user page so others know what languages you can speak and indicate your graphic abilities. You can find the files you have uploaded in your Uploads. Please sign your name on Talk pages by typing ~~~~. To link to an image page without embedding the image, type: [[:File:Foo.jpg]], which produces: File:Foo.jpg. You may enable gadgets (custom features) for your account. There are several tools to upload files. Have you edited Wikipedia before? This guide might be useful. Made a mistake? Do you want to have a file renamed or moved? Use the move link and wait for an authorized user to rename it. Do you want to have your recently uploaded picture removed? Tag it as {{speedy|reason here}}. For more information read the deletion guidelines.

File tagging File:Sampling paint for lead in Madagascar, to enforce limits to lead content in paint.jpg

This media may be deleted.

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)
