Thanks for uploading File:Portrait of Michael Witting.png. 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. |

- Hi @Túrelio, great to see these meticolous checks. Highly appreciated. As proof of license I have the following statement from direct communication in Slack:
- Michael Witting 4:40 PM Die Rechte habe ich. Habe ich dem Fotografen abgekauft
- Steffen 4:41 PM Will man den Fotographen nennen ? Quasi Acknowledgements ?
- Michael Witting 4:43 PM Lutz Stoess
- Which translated means that I have the picture from Michael Witting, who has bought all rights to the picture from Photographer Lutz Stoess.
- => How can I express that in the metadata correctly ?
- Yours,

- The message above in the red box should answer your question. Michael Witting should send an email of written permission to VRT. WhoAteMyButter (talk) 07:57, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
- @Sneumannoffice, as WhoAteMyButter already suggested, the rights-holder needs to send a confirmation directly to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org (OTRS), or to permission-commons-de@wikimedia.org, if preferred to have contact with a German-speaking OTRS agent. Communication with OTRS is treated confidentially. --Túrelio (talk) 08:04, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
