File permission problem with File:Drew MacEwen (cropped).png

edit
 

Thanks for uploading File:Drew MacEwen (cropped).png. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

  • make a note permitting reuse under the CC BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
  • Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{permission pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. Here is a list of your uploads. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F11 of the criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

I've re-added the template that you removed. Please don't remove it again. If you're the photo's author, you can upload the file, but you need also to provide some way of verifying this is the case. The easiest way to do this is to email your WP:CONSENT to Wikimedia VRT as explained in the notification above. This was all you really needed to do with the version of the image you uploaded to Commons as c:File:Drew MacEwen (cropped).png, but you didn't. That's OK. Just do it for this version uploaded to Wikipedia, and the photo should have no problem being kept. If you don't do this, the file will likely end up being deleted again. If you keep removing the deletion template despite the concerns raised about its copyright licensing, a Wikipedia administrator might decide a warning is no longer sufficient and some kind of stronger action needs to be taken. -- Marchjuly (talk) 21:31, 24 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Chad Magendanz, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page PTA. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
