Is VRT ticket #2014070110000717 still valid for these three files?

These deletion requests here:

1. File:President Yoon Suk Yeol and first Lady Kim Keon Hee depart to Madrid, Spain for Nato Summit at Seoul Air Base (3).jpg.

2. File:President_Yoon_Suk_Yeol_and_first_Lady_Kim_Keon_Hee_depart_to_Madrid,_Spain_for_Nato_Summit_at_Seoul_Air_Base_(2).jpg

3. File:President Yoon Suk Yeol and first Lady Kim Keon Hee depart to Madrid, Spain for Nato Summit at Seoul Air Base (1).jpg

All state that the "Reason for the nomination: CC-BY-NC-SA license on Flickr, the VRT ticket is just a verification for those images marked with CC-BY-SA"

These three Flickr links all have the exact same the license history below:

1. https://www.flickr.com/photos/koreanet/52176290159/

2. https://www.flickr.com/photos/koreanet/52176042741/

3. https://www.flickr.com/photos/koreanet/52175009767/in/photostream/

"License History

Note: There is no license history before July 17, 2008"

This file uploaded on 00:51, 1 July 2022, which is before the license changed on January 16, 2023.

So, is this VRT ticket #2014070110000717 still valid?

Thanks, -- Ooligan (talk) 23:41, 15 July 2023 (UTC)

@Jarekt, Please, see the link below, where the @JarektBot added the same VRT ticket number to the three files above.

Can you answer my question above?

https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File%3APresident_Yoon_Suk_Yeol_and_first_Lady_Kim_Keon_Hee_depart_to_Madrid%2C_Spain_for_Nato_Summit_at_Seoul_Air_Base_%281%29.jpg&diff=712122705&oldid=677465007

Thanks, -- Ooligan (talk) 07:00, 17 July 2023 (UTC)

Ooligan, See my response at Commons:Deletion requests/File:President Yoon Suk Yeol and first Lady Kim Keon Hee depart to Madrid, Spain for Nato Summit at Seoul Air Base (3).jpg. VRT ticket #2014070110000717 is valid as a storage of background info and confidential communication for files using CC-BY-SA on flickr but should not be used for files using CC-BY-NC-SA on flickr. --Jarekt (talk) 00:25, 18 July 2023 (UTC)

@Jarekt. On July 19th You wrote,

"RodRabelo7, Than you for your help here. I have never seen License history on flickr. I have verified that the license of those files was correct (CC-BY-SA) at the time of the upload..."

However, I had written on July 15th (see above) about information from these three files linked Flickr pages.

---Under the heading, "License History"

---that the "Old License" was "Attribution-ShareAlike (CC BY-SA 2.0)"

---and that the "New License" is "Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike (CC BY-NC-SA 2.0)"

I further wrote,

"This file uploaded on 00:51, 1 July 2022, which is before the license changed on January 16, 2023."

In your second response you wrote,

"Ooligan the irrevocable license rule only applies to files uploaded by the copyright holders and the File:President Yoon Suk Yeol and first Lady Kim Keon Hee depart to Madrid, Spain for Nato Summit at Seoul Air Base (3).jpg was not. I also do not see any evidence that it was CC-BY-SA at the time of the upload. So let me clarify my position: Delete for this and all the files using Korea.net license unless the files have Flickrreview (or similar template) verifying that they were marked CC-BY-SA on flicker at some point. If someone wants to contact https://www.flickr.com/photos/koreanet/ and ask them to change the license we might be able to save them." (brackets removed, emphasis added)

I thought I was writing clearly enough, but another commenter clarified the Flickr license history information. I want to note here on this page that you kept these 3 files. Thank you, -- Ooligan (talk) 07:01, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

Ooligan I am sorry for dropping off from the discussion. The files are fine since they were uploded under valid license. I closed deletion request and added additional info to the files. --Jarekt (talk) 23:38, 3 August 2023 (UTC)

file check

I wish you all good health. please, I ask you to check the file and confirm the license. Sincerely File:Skuld. Скульд.jpg RagdayKolovrat (talk) 08:14, 11 August 2023 (UTC)

Last ticket entry from yesterday. The reason to hurry is…? --Krd 13:44, 11 August 2023 (UTC)

Checking authorisation for 2015122310000978

Hello All, I requested the deletion of files representing a magazine uploaded by @NicholasReedy: , but at the end, I saw that one file had an OTSR ticket attached to it. Does it include all the page of the magazine uploaded or only the one with the OTSR ticket?

productionsrhizome.org

Hi, VRT will receive (or may have alresdy received today) an email from the address productionsrhizome.org, with an attachment in French. Just to be sure that VRT knows what it is about and it doesn't get lost, it relates to the files in the category Category:Tapis rouge des arts littéraires. -- Asclepias (talk) 16:47, 14 August 2023 (UTC)

@Asclepias, thanks for the info, I tried looking for Category:Tapis rouge des arts littéraires on the VRT and it didn't get me any lists. If the permissions-release mentions link to this category, it would make the work of VRT agents easy. Best, ─ The Aafī (^talk) 18:23, 14 August 2023 (UTC)

Thanks, It may refer to the user account who uploaded the files: User:FrederiqueDube. (N.B.: I know there might be a few things to clarify. It's a bit complex. I opened a discussion at Commons:Village pump/Copyright#"Photobooth" portraits about the fine points of how to analyze the copyright situation. For now the idea was to obtain for the VRT archives at least this communication from the source of the photos. Before a follow-up, it could be good to wait a few days to know the opinions at VP/C, as that may affect how the matter can be managed.) -- Asclepias (talk) 18:41, 14 August 2023 (UTC)

ticket:2023080610000387

Hi, please pay attention to this file! photo taken by me a few years ago with a regular smartphone for my personal use. so I didn't violate any copyrights. Futurolog21 (talk) 00:18, 17 August 2023 (UTC)

Permission sender got a reply the same day, which is still unanswered. Krd 07:09, 17 August 2023 (UTC)

Commons:Deletion requests/Rza Talibov

A DR has been filed that appears to assert that Ticket:2022052110004218 was processed incorrectly. It would probably be helpful if any VRT agents familiar with this case could chime in to provide clarity and/or evaluate if the challenge to the ticket's closure is persuasive.

Pinging Krd, who added the permission confirmation to the Commons page. — Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 13:43, 17 August 2023 (UTC)

I still think the ticket is processed correctly, but I admit that there may be different opinions based of different perspective. Having this reviewed by another VRT member is welcome to me. Krd 05:56, 24 August 2023 (UTC)

please confirm the license

I wish you all good health. please confirm the license. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Skuld._%D0%A1%D0%BA%D1%83%D0%BB%D1%8C%D0%B4.jpg How long can wait until the file is deleted again? The file has been placed for a long time, but there are no actions. RagdayKolovrat (talk) 10:33, 19 August 2023 (UTC)

• I'm not on the VRT, but presumably this is either because an adequate permission form has not been received or (due to backlog) is not yet processed. When was it sent? - Jmabel ! talk 14:30, 19 August 2023 (UTC)

  it was sent three weeks ago RagdayKolovrat (talk) 15:02, 19 August 2023 (UTC)

  where do I need to write it then? RagdayKolovrat (talk) 15:03, 19 August 2023 (UTC)

ticket:2012042310010184

We've got Commons:Deletion requests/Files in Category:Giants of Serbian Literature Stamps. It hinges on ticket:2012042310010184 mentioned in the discussed images. Could someone with access 1) confirm that the ticket justifies uploading those files on Commons, and 2) clarify what does that email concern: those particular postal stamps, all Serbian stamps, etc.? Thanks a lot. Materialscientist (talk) 05:49, 20 August 2023 (UTC)

Hi @Materialscientist: This ticket dates back to 2012 when things were not so complicate with the VRT. There are forwarded permissions that release "Great Serbian Literature stamps as well as the individual stamp of Pekić". The ticket is not in English but Google Translate (the actual permission sender's wordings from the forward) suggests the translation as, "Greats of Serbian Literature" stamps that contain the Borislav Pekić stamp" are released under Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 Unported License. This means not all postal stamps or all Serbian stamps are released freely but only a limited set of stamps that belong to this group. Please let me know if this is helpful. Best regards, ─ The Aafī (^talk) 10:02, 21 August 2023 (UTC)

Yes, very helpful, thanks a lot! Materialscientist (talk) 10:53, 21 August 2023 (UTC)
