Wikipedia:VRT Noticeboard
Please be aware that there is sometimes a backlog in processing tickets sent to the permissions-en queue. This backlog is currently 0 days.
- This noticeboard is primarily for
- Permissions verification and inquiries for text and files (hosted on the English Wikipedia) said to have been granted permission via VRTS.
- Requests for VRT member review of matters that have been described as VRT comments or actions.
- Other inquiries to VRT members that do not involve, disclose or reference private material.
- Do not post
- Private information or links to private information (including but not limited to emails, phone numbers, physical addresses).
- Fishing requests (asking for all details of a ticket or generally probing ticket information). You should make a specific request and clearly state the reason for your request.
- Additional questions on a point, once a VRT member has indicated they cannot answer due to privacy issues. (Further inquiries and any complaints should be made via email.)
- Requests for VRTS access (use meta:VRT/Volunteering instead).
- Questions regarding media hosted on Wikimedia Commons (use Commons:Volunteer Response Team/Noticeboard instead).
- Media questions unrelated to VRT (use Wikipedia:Media copyright questions instead).
- Disputes
- For disputes over VRT actions on English Wikipedia, see Wikipedia:Volunteer Response Team § Dispute resolution and Wikipedia:Dispute resolution § Sensitive issues and functionary actions.

File:Afsaneh-Salari.jpg
Would a VRT member take a look at File:Afsaneh-Salari.jpg and the discussion related to it at User talk:Mr.izadpanah#File permission problem with File:Afsaneh-Salari-scaled.jpg? This file was actually uploaded to Commons as c:File:Afsaneh-Salari.jpg, but ended up deleted as a copyvio. The file was subsequently re-upload locally to Wikipedia as "File:Afsaneh-Salari.jpg" after the source apparently relicensed it, but there still seem to be some issues associated with its licesning according to c:Commons:Undeletion requests/Current requests#File:Afsaneh-Salari-scaled.jpg. I know Commons and Wikipedia are different projects, but in this case I'm not sure whether Wikipedia should be keeping a file that Commons apparently won't, at least not without VRT verification. Should this file be tagged with {{npd}}? I already did so once but self-reverted since I thought the Commons file could be restored. I don't want rush in and tag the file again if VRT verification isn't really considered necessary. FWIW, I'm not suggesting anyone involved in this so far hasn't acted in good faith; I'm just looking for perhaps some fresh eyes to take a look at the file's licensing. -- Marchjuly (talk) 19:46, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
- Hi @Marchjuly. We'd need permissions from the copyright holder, basically the photographer, who actually took the photo. If the subject licenses their image under CC BY-SA all on their own, doesn't make any file free, until the photographer has given them the right. The copyright status of this file is still unclear. A VRT verification in this case is indeed necessary for the photographer's explicit permission. ─ Aafī on Mobile 16:42, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you for taking a look at this Aafi. I've re-tagged the file with {{npd}} and let the uploader know that VRT verification is needed. -- Marchjuly (talk) 07:38, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
