Permission
Hi. As explained by email re 2019082810002691, Paul Sawrey, the author of this image, tried several times to upload his original file to Wikimedia Commons, but has not been able to complete the process. We have followed this template and process, but have been asked via email to use this template instead, and to "upload the file with its original EXIF data to Wikimedia Commons, and then to e-mail us directly". I'm sure Paul would be happy to email using this template as well, but he can't upload the file to Wikimedia Commons. As I have asked by email, how can Paul give his permission without being able to upload the image to Wikipedia himself? E James Bowman (talk) 06:59, 10 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Hi . On closer inspection, the template we were emailed to use is identical to the one Paul emailed. And the one the OTSR Noticeboard specifies here. This page does not specify the copyright holder has to upload their image, just provide the URL of where the image is uploaded to, which I have done.

 * The permission statement itself was fine; however, it needs to be sent directly from the copyright holder to OTRS, instead of to you and then forwarded. The original with EXIF can be attached to the to the email instead of uploaded. —&thinsp;JJMC89&thinsp; (T·C) 03:34, 14 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks . I've asked him to send the the OTSR Noticeboard one here with the URLs included, directly to permissions@wikimedia.org with the ticket# in the subject line. E James Bowman (talk) 04:44, 14 September 2019 (UTC)
