File permission problem with File:Simon I. Hay, Professor of Epidemiology, University of Oxford.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Simon I. Hay, Professor of Epidemiology, University of Oxford.jpg. 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 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) 15:20, 29 January 2014 (UTC)

I emailed permission to use the photo on the Simon I Hay page on Feb 3, 2014 to permissions-en@wikimedia.org. Will I hear when the photo is approved and the OTRS pending tage can be removed? Thank you. MWOX (talk) 09:43, 12 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes the OTRS agent will change the template on the file page and you'll receive a confirmation email. If you let me know what the subject was I can take a look. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 11:25, 12 February 2014 (UTC)

Thank you for your message Callanecc. The ORS email subject line was Permission for photo, Simon I. Hay. The photo has CC BY permission on the webpage http://simonhay.zoo.ox.ac.uk/biography.php MWOX (talk) 11:35, 18 February 2014 (UTC)
 * I've added the license to the page. As it's on the source page we don't need OTRS confirmation. Sorry I should have noticed that before. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 11:56, 18 February 2014 (UTC)

Thank you Callanecc. Does this mean I can remove the OTRS pending tag from this page? MWOX (talk) 12:13, 18 February 2014 (UTC) Also, can you review the page so the unreviewed tag can be removed too please?MWOX (talk) 12:17, 18 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Done, for the future the OTRS pending tag goes on the file page. And I've marked it as reviewed, good article. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 12:22, 18 February 2014 (UTC)

Thank youMWOX (talk) 14:20, 18 February 2014 (UTC)

Please can the orphan tage be removed? As this page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Society_of_Tropical_Medicine_and_Hygiene) now links to (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon_I._Hay) as Simon Hay is president of the RSTMH. Thank you. MWOX (talk) 12:01, 17 March 2014 (UTC)
 * ✅. You could do that yourself, once there is an incoming link from another article.
 * A tip - when you want to give a link to another page, you don't need to give the full internet URL. Just type the page name between double square brackets. So typing  gives a "wikilink" Simon I. Hay. See Help:Wikilinks for more detaiul. JohnCD (talk) 12:14, 17 March 2014 (UTC)
