Please consult the administrator who deleted the file, or COM:DRV if you require such assistance. I am also not an VRT member, so please consult at COM:VRTN if you require such assistance.

For really urgent matters, you can also trying posting at my Wikipedia user talk page. I'm happy to discuss any edits/comments I may have made, but please try to keep all comments civil. We are all volunteers and all make mistakes. There are really very things that I can screw up so badly that they cannot be undone if needed. Any mistakes I make are always made in good faith, and I will do my best to correct them as soon as possible. Personal attacks, etc., however, will not be tolerated at all and I will bring them to the attention of administrators at COM:AN without hesitation if necessary.

Please assist with the VRT status File:James J. Sexton(1).png. Email has been received at VRTS concerning the file. Now requires someone with a VRTS account to view it. Ticket#2023120510000308 -> URL of this file was in the email and copyright holder email permission was sent in the proper format. Thanks in advance,BeFriendlyGoodSir (talk) 02:52, 5 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

@BeFriendlyGoodSir: I'm not a VRT member and, thus, can't access the email. The file has been tagged with {{Permission received}} by a bot, which means that VRT received the email and is now in the process of reviewing it. If the email checks out, a VRT member will replace the "Permission received" template with a {{Permission ticket}} template, verifying that the email has been verified. If there's a problem with the email, a VRT member will most likely contact the sender via email and explain what the problem is and what needs to be done. If you have any general questions about the status of the VRT review of the email, you can ask them at COM:VRTN; however, VRT members aren't permitted to discuss the specifics of an email on any Commons page for privacy reasons, and they will only due so via email with the sender. -- Marchjuly (talk) 03:02, 5 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

Hello, I'd like to know what I can do to make my image acceptable. There are two pages that use it and I don't want to disappoint them. From what you said in the notice, I need to add the author of the medal, but that can only be translated as quoting the organization of the competition. I would therefore appreciate it if you could clarify the matter so that everything is in order. Thank you in advance. Infinityoned15 (talk) 16:07, 20 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

The problem with the photos you took is that they're photos of someone else's potentially copyright work. There's more details about this in Commons:Derivative works. If the medals' designs you photographed are eligible for copyright protection, then the person or persons who designed them would be the copyright holders of those design. Commons requires all of the content it hosts either be clearly released under an acceptable free license by its copyright holder or be within the public domain. Your photos, however, consist of two elements (the photo you took and the object you photographed) and you're only the copyright holder of the photos you took unless you're also the person who designed the photographed medals. If you're not the person who designed the medals, the license you used when uploading the photos to Commons only covers your photos themselves; it doesn't apply to the medals you photographed. In cases like this, Commons needs to be sure (or as sure as reasonably possible) about the copyright status of the photographed medals in order to keep these files; if the medals' designs are eligible for copyright protection, Commons can't keep the photos you uploaded without the COM:CONSENT of copyright holders of the medals' designs. What you probably should do is ask about the copyright status of these two medals at COM:VPC if you're unable to find that information yourself. Someone at VPC might be able to help determine whether the medals' designs are eligible for copyright protection. Once that is known, the rest can be sorted out fairly easy. -- Marchjuly (talk) 08:23, 21 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Infinityoned15: One of the files you uploaded is attributed to someone named Júlia Karolyne. If that's the person who took the photo and you're not that person, then you would need to get their COM:CONSENT in addition to the consent of the copyright holder of the medal's design itself. -- Marchjuly (talk) 11:27, 21 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Okay, thank you very much for the information. I'll try to resolve these deadlocks. Infinityoned15
