Welcome to Wikipedia. Please do not replace pages with blank content, as you did with this edit to File:Cole Durham.jpg, as this is confusing to readers. The page's content has been restored for now. If there is a problem with the page, it should be edited or reverted to a previous version if possible; if you think the page should be removed entirely, see further information. Thank you. ♛♚★Vaibhav Jain★♚♛ Talk Email 07:11, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

Sorry. I was just trying to undo an error in an edit and didn't know how to restore to what had been there. I removed my question about this because in re-reading the notice I saw that I have a week not a day to fix it, and I'm sure that the photographer and the tech guys at the office can help, when I have time to ask them. For one thing, I can do the upload properly and replace the photo. Thanks for your responses, above and below. Iclrsddt (talk) 16:43, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

Re File:Cole Durham.jpg
You left a message on Media copyright questions but removed it before someone could reply; I will nonetheless provide you with an answer. Pictures uploaded to Wikipedia need to be under a free content license, under which anyone can use the file for any purpose, including commercial redistribution. If your group wishes to release the file under a free license, the copyright holder of the picture (e.g. the photographer) will need to provide the Wikimedia Foundation proof that the file is under a free license by following the instructions at the declaration of consent for all enquiries. See also the image use policy. Please let me know if you need more information. Cheers, CharlieEchoTango (talk) 08:01, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

File copyright problem with File:Cole Durham.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:Cole Durham.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright and licensing status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can verify that it has an acceptable license status and a verifiable source. Please add this information by editing the image description page. You may refer to the image use policy to learn what files you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. The page on copyright tags may help you to find the correct tag to use for your file. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please also check any other files you may have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is [ a list of your uploads].

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 13:08, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Cole Durham.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Cole Durham.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created 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 , 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 .

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as 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 on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 15:30, 25 November 2011 (UTC)

If the photographer has sent enough permission to the permissions e-mail address, it may takes up to 3 weeks to be processed. Once that is done then the OTRS volunteer will request undelete of the image. If nothing happens within a month then raise the issue at WP:OTRSN.  Ron h jones (Talk) 23:06, 6 December 2011 (UTC)

Could we instead just upload the photo again and do it right this time? The photographer gave his permission in the first place (he is OUR photographer - place where I work and where subject of the article (Cole Durham) is director), and he tried to fix the permissions for me after I loaded it. At the same time, he sent the permission by informal e-mail ... this was long before the deletion occurred. Iclrsddt (talk) 23:40, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
