User talk:Koenigsegg PR

May 2020
Hi.

It was noticed that you added your uploaded images to Koenigsegg Jesko and Koenigsegg Gemera pages. As you might be aware that Wikimedia commons only allows free media to be uploaded and in case of media having copyrights, evidence of permission needs to be provided on commons in order for it to be uploaded. I want to inquire about whether you have obtained permission before uploading those images.

Thank you. U1 quattro  TALK  17:33, 22 May 2020 (UTC)


 * If you do work for Koenigsegg could you follow the process here to properly apply the licence and to confirm that you do have the ability do so. Toasted Meter (talk) 09:34, 24 May 2020 (UTC)


 * I'm nominating the file for deletion as no clarification was given about the licensing. This user does work for Koenigsegg. He had an account by the name of before and has started RfCs to include the Agera RS in the Production car speed record list as seen here  U1 quattro   TALK  18:11, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
 * How do we know that it's operated by the same people, anyway give them a bit longer to respond, you posted the first one on Friday they might not have seen it. Also if they are PR at Koenigsegg they are able to licence the photos properly. Toasted Meter (talk) 18:16, 24 May 2020 (UTC)


 * I have nominated the photos for deletion. This user should present the licensing evidence over there. The name and actions taken from this account suggests what I have said  U1 quattro   TALK  18:28, 24 May 2020 (UTC)

I got confirmation from the person at Koenigsegg who runs this account, they are who they say. I have asked them to go through the OTRS process, I would suggest you remove the deletion. Toasted Meter (talk) 20:03, 24 May 2020 (UTC)


 * Until they do, the tag stays and the image stays out. I'm seriously frustrated to see these Koenigsegg employees being favoured out here. U1 quattro   TALK  04:15, 25 May 2020 (UTC)


 * Why would you be frustrated about having more images available? Toasted Meter (talk) 19:01, 25 May 2020 (UTC)


 * I would not be frustrated if they went through the same process as the other uploaders do to upload these images, rather than having the rules bent in their favour. This person literally uploaded the images present on the Koenigsegg website on commons which are not free images in any way without submitting a proof that they have permission from the company to do so. I'd see this as an attempt to mainly promote the company which is not allowed here. U1 quattro  TALK  02:56, 26 May 2020 (UTC)


 * They are now free images because the uploader does work for Koenigsegg and by uploading them under this licence has released them under that licence. Being frustrated by those who are unfamiliar with the non obvious process of submitting an image that you did not take but do have the ability to release under the proper licence, seems odd to me. They are not even displacing other images, no CC image of the Gemera existed before this, this is something I would love to see more of. Toasted Meter (talk) 04:13, 26 May 2020 (UTC)


 * They are supposed to take permission from the company before they upload them, uploading them does not make them automatically free. Working for Koenigsegg does not give them any exemption under the rule neither does the uploading guidelines talk about such exemptions. U1 quattro   TALK  03:07, 28 May 2020 (UTC)


 * How are we to know if the CEO or whatever was consulted? Toasted Meter (talk) 07:29, 28 May 2020 (UTC)


 * By written permission submitted by the uploader. U1 quattro   TALK  02:58, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
