Hello 11lawpt1.

I see that the file called "File:Himalaya lithostratigraphic tectonic zones Wiki Canvas.jpg" on commons was deleted. Even if an author gave permission for you to use the image, Wikipedia has a different requirement. We require a license that lets anyone use the image, and also to make changes. Suitable licenses include CC-BY-SA-4.0. So you could ask the author to grant such a license. But there's more, this consent has to be proved. We don't just rely on you saying you got permission. Instead the permission has to be sent to a trusted person to confirm. WP:PERMIT gives the procedure. This says that it can be emailed to photosubmission@wikimedia.org by the author along with the consent to the license. Often this is too much trouble for people, so I hope they are willing to give the suitable license. It can be simpler for you to draw the map again. PS you are not the only one in your class that is going to lose a picture that was just lifted out of a journal article. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 10:58, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

You are correct, though it may take a while for someone to read and confirm the permission. It may be too late for you! Graeme Bartlett (talk) 12:10, 15 November 2016 (UTC)
