Is there a ticket associated with the file? --Geohakkeri (talk) 22:11, 11 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Source site, which certainly appears to be the photographer, says "I release the copyright of the following images and release them into the Public Domain". Why would we need a ticket? - Jmabel ! talk 02:21, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Geohakkeri & @Jmabel: in ticket:2024070110006407, they say CC BY-SA 4.0. My belief has always been that where explicit permissions are clear, a permission release is not necessary. Regards, Aafi (talk) 05:14, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Jmabel and Aafi: See my question on the file talk page. The Twitter source page indeed looked good to me until I saw that it was sort of disregarded in Special:Diff/891544873. But maybe that was just a simple mistake by Krd? --Geohakkeri (talk) 07:09, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The file was uploaded on 17:56, 11 May 2024‎, and the X URL says “2:50 p. m. · 11 may. 2024”. Be careful with the Flickrwashing. Besides, it says Public Domain. Version? And ticket:2024070110006407 says CC BY SA 4.0. Very confusing. --Ganímedes (talk) 02:53, 13 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The Twitter account had already posted the same photo earlier: https://x.com/GeorgeMicro1/status/1769031711478686156 --Geohakkeri (talk) 09:07, 13 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Ganímedes: I assume you are using "Flickrwashing" very loosely, since Flickr is in no way involved. Are you saying you have some reason to doubt that the Twitter/X account in question belongs to the person who took the photo? Can you give any evidence for why we should doubt that? - Jmabel ! talk 21:54, 13 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
No, I'm just saying that we must verify all the dates, sources, and licenses. --Ganímedes (talk) 01:26, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,

Did you receive the email from the copyright holder for this file and others from the same series? Thank you. Adam Harangozó (talk) 08:05, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Vollpension photos

[edit]

Hello, folks. First time here, first time doing email permissions. I uploaded six photographs (File:Vollpension Schleifmuehlgasse 2.jpg, File:Vollpension Johannesgasse 1.png, File:Vollpension Schleifmuehlgasse 3.jpg, File:Vollpension Schleifmuehlgasse 4.png, File:Vollpension Schleifmuehlgasse 5.png, File:Vollpension Schleifmuehlgasse.jpg). The permission was sent by the copyright holder before I uploaded them (seemed logical to me at the time) and so no URL was included in the email. I included the PP template. I hope this will be alright. Surtsicna (talk) 22:09, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Should work out, but will be more difficult. If you were cc'd on the email, it would probably be helpful to reply to "all" on the thread with the URLs. (I'm not on the VRT, but this is what I've seen in the past.) - Jmabel ! talk 04:51, 23 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Can someone check what/how Ticket:2009063010002351 plays into File:Radar image of the 2011 Joplin tornado May 22, 2011 2248Z.png? Several discussions on radar images have occurred, which has lead to {{PD-NEXRAD}} becoming a thing. Per the ticket, it says attribution is required for a NEXRAD radar screenshot. Just wanting to check if that ticket is actually for that specific radar screenshot, since this seems to be the sole exception to PD-NEXRAD. WeatherWriter (talk) 23:49, 24 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
