File permission problem with File:Crosfield's first laboratory, 1947.jpg
edit
Thanks for uploading File:Crosfield's first laboratory, 1947.jpg, which you've sourced to John Crosfield. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.
If you created 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 {{OTRS 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 in|article name}} 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. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 10:12, 21 September 2012 (UTC)
Hello. This photo was taken by John Crosfield, my father, and used in his book Recollections of Crosfield Electronics 1947-1975 (Peterborough, England 1991). John Crosfield died 25 March 2012 and left me as Executor of his Will, in which all chattels, including rights, were left to the discretion of the Executors (the other is my brother). The photo has not been used elsewhere and we, his executors, are sure he would have wanted it to be available to anyone free of copyright. Hence the upload. No one else has any rights to this photo. Is this sufficient? Thanks 90.221.240.31 (talk) 10:26, 21 September 2012 (UTC)

- I am not familiar with UK copyright laws, other than what I read in this article: Photography and the law#Copyright. I didn't quite understand it either, so I won't say anything lest it lead you astray. Maybe someone at the media copyright questions page has more expertise in this area. Try posting a question there and see what they say. Good luck! --Drm310 (talk) 19:58, 21 September 2012 (UTC)
- As you suggest, I have put the question to the media copyright questions page.Richard crosfield (talk) 08:45, 22 September 2012 (UTC)

Can you forward a copy of the reasoning you gave on the image to the relevant OTRS queue per WP:COPYREQ, Effectively what you need to do is provide a valid contact address, and confirmation that as Executor you have the legal rights to disperse or dispose of any copyrights that would be held by the Estate.
