Thanks for uploading File:Dr. Kurt Geisinger, Distinguished Professor of Psychology and Director of the Buros Institute.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).

The file probably has been deleted. If you sent a permission, try to send it again after 14 days. Do not re-upload. When the VRT-member processes your mail, the file can be undeleted. Additionally you can request undeletion here, providing a link to the File-page on Commons where it was uploaded ([[:File:Dr. Kurt Geisinger, Distinguished Professor of Psychology and Director of the Buros Institute.jpg]]) and the above demanded information in your request.

Warning sign
This file may be deleted.
A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:CThompson Social Distancing v2.pdf, is a derivative work, containing an "image within an image". Examples of such works would include a photograph of a sculpture, a scan of a magazine cover, or a map that has been altered from the original. In each of these cases, the rights of the creator of the original must be considered, as well as those of the creator of the derivative work.

While the description page states who made this derivative work, it currently doesn't specify who created the original work, so the overall copyright status is unclear. If you did not create the original work depicted in this image, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright.

Please edit the file description and add the missing information, or the file may be deleted. If you created the original content yourself, enter this information as the source. If someone else created the content, the source should be the address to the web page where you found it, the name and ISBN of the book you scanned it from, or similar. You should also name the author, provide verifiable information to show that the content is in the public domain or has been published under a free license by its author, and add an appropriate template identifying the public domain or licensing status, if you have not already done so. Please add the required information for this and other files you have uploaded before adding more files. If you need assistance, please ask at the help desk. Thank you!

Dear @BevinKacon Apologies for the delay responding. I have done some reading about the policies and licenses. The student in my class used Canva, which includes a library of images that have [this license], which seems to me to indicate that CC BY and CC BY-SA uses are allowed (no commercial, but derivative is fine). I am sorry that I didn't know to include this earlier. I am updating my materials to make sure that this is part of the work flow going forward. If there are specific ways to document this proactively, please let me know, and I am glad to do it. I know that many editors prefer to only communicate in Wiki, but if it is more convenient for you to explain in another format, I am happy to email or Zoom (eay@unc.edu). Thanks for all your time and contributions to the Wiki Community! Eyoungstrom (talk) 21:29, 8 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please help me understand the issue and the right solution here. The student who built the infographic, Laine Lockwood, indicated that the infographic is CC-BY 4.0 (bottom right corner). The web link she included is *not* the source of the infographic (her work) or images. It was the reference that supported the concepts and recommendations she made -- it is the evidence backing up the suggestions in the infographic. If there is a better way for us to indicate this, please advise. Thanks very much! Eyoungstrom (talk) 21:42, 8 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Dear @A1Cafel Thanks for pinging me! This prompted me to do some reading about the policies and licenses.

I am sorry that I didn't know to include this earlier. I am updating my materials to make sure that this is part of the work flow going forward.

I know that many editors prefer to only communicate in Wiki, but if it is more convenient for you to explain in another format, I am happy to email or Zoom (eay@unc.edu), same as I just offered to User:BevinKacon above. Thanks for all your time and contributions to the Wiki Community!

(as an aside, it would be fine to delete v1 and v2.jpg -- the student made revisions and asked if I would upload v3 after the project was done). Thanks! Eyoungstrom (talk) 21:36, 8 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@A1Cafel, this and the next are a different scenario. HGAPS.org owns the copyright to these images, and we got them specifically to be able to use on Wikimedia. I do not know the right way to close the loop here. Do we put these up on our external website [[1]], or do I do the email certification process as a principal officer of HGAPS? or is there some other way of navigating this? Thanks, yet again, for your time and assistance! Eyoungstrom (talk) 03:02, 9 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
You can ask HGAPS to send an OTRS permission to confirm the license. After that, you can request undeletion at COM:UDR. --A1Cafel (talk) 03:05, 9 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, @A1Cafel. I was not aware of this wrinkle. I completely agree, in light of reading the policy, that the image with the Zoom-provided background image, probably was an unintentional COPYVIO. If there is a mechanism for me to retract, or to support deletion, let me know, and I'll do it. (Yes, I know that the file is currently deleted -- my point is that I have learned the principle, and will abide by it; if there are additional ways of documenting good faith or "better understanding," please let me know!)
I have an interesting variation on this use case, though. H-GAPS is a user group, and it has chapters at several universities. Several of them have taken group photos, which we have (successfully!) uploaded to Wikimedia Commons and then used on Wikiversity pages. The University of Maryland group didn't get their photo made before the coronavirus pandemic. They (and many portions of the user group) have continued to meet via Zoom, and we have a screenshot of their members during a meeting. I took the screenshot, so I am the "owner" of the picture, and they were not using virtual backgrounds. The point of the image is the visual of all of their faces, and I would like to explore whether any software frame that is visible would fit the "de minimis" clause in the screenshot guidelines. I can crop the top and bottom of the image to further reduce the amount of software shown. I can upload the image or email it to you if helpful. I don't want that to be misinterpreted as me ignoring the other COPYVIO warnings! :-) Thanks for guidance about how best to proceed. Eyoungstrom (talk) 03:15, 9 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
