You've put a self tag on this, but the image seems to be credited to someone else, can you clarify? Sfan00 IMG (talk) 15:10, 9 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Also - File:Older woman with flowers protected bike lane boston.jpg Sfan00 IMG (talk) 15:13, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

 * Sure - all these images were released into the public domain by the nonprofit that commissioned them, which had purchased the copyright from the photographer. There didn't seem to be a category for "public domain" other than "self/public domain," so I chose that category when uploading. Does that answer the question? Is there a better way to handle this?
 * That link proved to be a dead one, Can you get the non-profit concerned to send the permission queu confirmation they are public domain, see WP:COPYREQ? Sfan00 IMG (talk) 18:48, 10 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Sure, thanks. Done. Andersem (talk) 23:15, 10 November 2015 (UTC)


 * If you had uploaded these pictures to Commons. Which you should have done.
 * If you had given the source as the link to Flickr. Which you should have done.
 * If you had given the real author. Not you! Which you should have done.
 * If you had licensed them with the proper license. Which you should have done.
 * Then the Flickr review would have approved most of them without having to resort to OTRS. Secondarywaltz (talk) 18:04, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Hey Secondarywaltz, I agree, I didn't know how the process worked so I tried to piece it together and I guess I didn't get the process right. From my perspective, it sounds as if you're getting angry at me for trying to improve Wikipedia. That's strange to me. I apologize that OTRS was required here. Are things resolved now, at least? Andersem (talk) 01:42, 19 November 2015 (UTC)
 * They should still be uploaded to Commons. I was upset at the advice you were getting from a very experienced editor who specializes in image uploads. You are new to this. Thanks. Secondarywaltz (talk) 01:50, 19 November 2015 (UTC)
 * I've just looked at the rest of your uploads and they are incorrect. You have no rights to them. Reload those to Commons. Secondarywaltz (talk) 01:54, 19 November 2015 (UTC)
 * I have uploaded File:Rail-and-trail paved path seattle longtail cargo bike family.jpg to Commons. See the entry there on how to do it in the future. Secondarywaltz (talk) 02:47, 19 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks! OK, I gave it a shot, transferring all those files to the Commons using Commons Helper and mimicking the metadata on the file you uploaded. Hopefully that was correct. Andersem (talk) 00:31, 24 November 2015 (UTC)
 * I'll check them better when I have a little more time. But again you appear to be claiming that you are the Author and you are giving Permission. That is not true. I'll get back to you. Secondarywaltz (talk) 00:54, 24 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I was afraid that might be the case but I couldn't figure out how to edit the Commons image. Since you affirmed it wasn't right yet, I figured out how to edit the Commons file and did so. It's now licensed "self|author=PeopleForBikes Foundation|Cc-zero." I'm the relevant person at PeopleForBikes Foundation (creating photos that could be used on Wikipedia was one of the reasons I talked my colleagues into securing licensing rights). Therefore it seems as if I should be able to act with its authority in this, and the "self" tag is appropriate. But I'm not certain. I really appreciate your guidance on this process; I'm learning a lot. Andersem (talk) 01:29, 24 November 2015 (UTC)


 * I keep having to tell you that you are overcomplicating things. All that you needed to do was upload to Commons from Flickr, with the correct link, license and attribution, and everything would have been automatically approved, sometimes within minutes. One of the files I can't find on Flickr and so the OTRS will apply for it. What you have done should work, but in the future, just upload directly from the source. Secondarywaltz (talk) 03:17, 24 November 2015 (UTC)
 * See https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Rail-and-trail_paved_path_seattle_longtail_cargo_bike_family.jpg for how simply it can be done. Secondarywaltz (talk) 03:17, 24 November 2015 (UTC)
