File permission problem with File:Lea Symbols Test optotypes on a blanket to be used to test the visual acuity of a young child.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Lea Symbols Test optotypes on a blanket to be used to test the visual acuity of a young child.jpg, which you've sourced to http://www.lea-test.fi/leaweb/slidspt1.html. 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. Stefan2 (talk) 21:53, 3 May 2012 (UTC)

Permission

That might help you see what you need to do. Wikipedia requires that the author of the image give permission to license it under one of those licenses specifically (Creative Commons or GFDL) - just giving permission to Wikipedia isn't enough, because Wikipedia's content is often used by other websites and so it can't have restrictions on it. You also need to forward the author's permission to "permissions-en AT wikimedia DOT org" and put OTRS pending on the page. If it ends up you can't use the image on Wikipedia, maybe you should put a link to that page in the "External Links" section. Libertyernie2 (talk) 17:07, 10 May 2012 (UTC)
