Welcome, you Newby![edit]
Oh great, I love the irony of being able to welcome Jani to the English language version of Wikivoyage (huge grin) --W. Franke-mailtalk 02:29, 20 September 2012 (CEST)
You were the original uploader to Wikitravel. However, you are not listed as the photographer. You might wish to sort out the permission problem by following the instructions here. --Stefan2 (talk) 10:40, 14 November 2012 (UTC)
- I see that you removed the "no permission" tag, but you provided no way to verify that permission has been granted. The template I showed you tells that evidence of permission needs to be sent to OTRS. It was suggested somewhere that there should be an exception from Commons:COM:GOF for certain files from Wikivoyage, but I don't remember what happened with that, or whether the exception would cover your file. --Stefan2 (talk) 13:11, 14 November 2012 (UTC)
- OTRS is required for images that have been published elsewhere under a non-free license. This image has never been published anywhere, it was taken by my buddy Sampo, who was kind enough to CC-license it when I asked him to. You're just going to have to take my word for it, the same way you do when I claim an image is mine. Jpatokal (talk) 00:55, 15 November 2012 (UTC)
- OTRS is required either if the image is sourced to someone other than the uploader (as in this case), or if it has previously been published somewhere else. --Stefan2 (talk) 01:36, 15 November 2012 (UTC)
- The OTRS mail is supposed to come from "from an address associated with the original publication". Pray tell, what is this address? Jpatokal (talk) 02:55, 15 November 2012 (UTC)
- Your friend's emailing in should be sufficient. Snowolf How can I help? 12:29, 15 November 2012 (UTC)
- And how, exactly, would an email from (say) "lolwut69@hotmail.com" confirm the provenance of the image?
- Let me spell this out for you: You're already trusting me to accurately tell you where I got the image from. If I am lying about that, I can also fake the confirmation email, making OTRS meaningless and, worse, providing an illusion of security where none exists.
