Possible copyright violation; unable to confirm license status. Image is a promotional photo from the Canadian TV show Zone Franche produced by Montreal media group Urbania, broadcasted by Télé-Québec. TQB's press website does not appear to state anywhere that its photos are Creative Commons, but I cannot read French and my machine translation may have missed something.

If the uploader has additional evidence of licensing, please provide. RoxySaunders (talk) 04:05, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I confirmed personally with Urbania, who owns the images, by email. In such a case, should I share screenshot of the emails or? Flowsthatglow (talk) 19:46, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sharing a screenshot on these pages isn't possible but if you email [email protected] with this (alongside a link to this discussion and an explanation). The backlog for these administrative requests is pretty long, so I think the image will probably be fine in the meantime. Sharing a transcript of that conversation here would be helpful.

I have emailed the address with an explanation of the situation and a PDF of the email chain confirming the copyright/CC BY-SA status.
A short summary of the email chain: I emailed Urbania, who owns the picture. Their Director of operations asked me what the process would be for granting the rights. I said that I could upload the picture but that Wikimedia wanted confirmation of specific criteria, which I listed for her (republication and distribution must be allowed; publication of derivative work must be allowed; commercial use of the work must be allowed; the license must be perpetual and non-revocable). I added that the upload wizard also had Creative Commons options and noted that CC BY-SA would seemingly be the license that corresponds with their aims; I included the paragraph on the Creative Commmons website describing CC BY-SA. I then asked if that all worked for them. She replied affirmatively. Flowsthatglow (talk) 03:25, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
