Lee Botts photo
Good day, Mr. Botts.

Can you confirm you are acting as the estate for the person who owns the copyright on the photograph of your mother? That would be the photographer or the campaign if the person formally worked for it. Thanks. Magog the Ogre (t • c) 14:28, 24 October 2020 (UTC)

Hello, That photo was a print saved by my mother, and she gave all her accumulated photos and memorabilia to me before her death. I have no idea who took it and neither did she. The campaign disbanded after that 1986 election. I have many other family photos that I could upload to illustrate the article about her, but none about which I could document original copyright. Does this mean that it is simply not possible to add a photo to her Wikipedia page? Pbotts (talk) 23:35, 15 January 2021 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Lee Botts (1928-2019), America environmentalist, campaigning for local office in 1986.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Lee Botts (1928-2019), America environmentalist, campaigning for local office in 1986.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.

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.
