File permission problem with File:José Luis Cordeiro 2019.png
Thanks for uploading File:José Luis Cordeiro 2019.png. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for 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 Non-free content, use a tag such as non-free fair use or one of the other tags listed at File copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See 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 in section F11 of the criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Whpq (talk) 14:42, 3 February 2019 (UTC)


 * Thanks Whpq for your help with this. I will be forwarding a suitable confirmation email to permissions-en within the time period specified. David W. Wood (talk) 14:53, 4 February 2019 (UTC)


 * Update (1): The copyright owner has sent permissions-en an email based on the template at Declaration_of_consent_for_all_enquiries. On reflection, some further tidy-up is required: (a) the template recommended the use of licence Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 rather than Public Domain, so the Licensing section on the image page will need amending; (b) the template recommended the v3.0 licence but I see that other parts of Wikipedia seem to expect use of a v4.0 licence instead. Should the email be re-sent, with the "3.0" updated to "4.0"? David W. Wood (talk) 09:23, 5 February 2019 (UTC)
 * 3.0 is acceptable so maybe best not to muddy the waters too much in the correspondence with OTRS. As a permission email has been sent, you should add  to the file description.  This will add a note indicating a permission email has been sent.  You can also remove the deletion tag at the same time.  Regards. -- Whpq (talk) 23:53, 5 February 2019 (UTC)
 * As per your recommendations, I've now added to the file description, and have removed the deletion tag. Thanks for the suggestions! David W. Wood (talk) 00:06, 6 February 2019 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright
Hello Dw2cco, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your additions to José Luis Cordeiro have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.


 * You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
 * Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
 * Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Copyrights. You may also want to review Copy-paste.
 * If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Donating copyrighted materials.
 * In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are PD or compatibly licensed) it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at Media copyright questions, the help desk or the Teahouse before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
 * Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps in Translation. See also Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 23:01, 3 February 2019 (UTC)


 * Diannaa - Many thanks for your advice on bringing the article José Luis Cordeiro to the standards Wikipedia rightly expects. And thanks for kindly emailing me a copy of the problematic paragraphs. I will work on improved versions of these paragraphs later today. David W. Wood (talk) 14:51, 4 February 2019 (UTC)

 * I'm sorry to see that this file was deleted, despite an email having been sent to permissions-en@wikimedia.org as requested, by the copyright holder
 * But (added later) the file has been restored again, so all seems well. David W. Wood (talk) 12:23, 3 June 2019 (UTC)
