Wikimedia's volunteer response team (OTRS) handles copyright permissions, email inquiries from the public, reuse inquiries, article errors, and a wide range of non-public inquiries. The email service is operated and managed by a cross-project team of volunteers at the Meta-Wiki level and not by the English Wikipedia community. Actions by OTRS volunteers on English Wikipedia are ultimately subject to review by the Arbitration Committee. Please be aware that there is sometimes a backlog in processing tickets sent to the permissions-en queue. This backlog is currently 49 days.

File:Crystal City Girl Scouts Hinamatsuri 1943-45.png
Would an OTRS volunteer mind checking this files licensing and OTRS ticket #2008082310011924? If OTRS has verified this file, then it shouldn't need to be licensed as {{Non-free historic image}} because non-free images don't really need original copyright holder permission to be uploaded and used per WP:NFCC.
If this file is truly non-free, it cannot be used in Draft:Deportation of German Latin American Civilians to the United States during World War II; moreover, its non-free use in Girl Scouts of the USA# World War II almost certainly fails WP:NFCC#1, WP:NFCC#8 and item 6 of WP:NFC#UUI, and its non-free use in Crystal City Internment Camp#Internment life is certainly questionable and worthy of further discussion. -- Marchjuly (talk) 04:51, 13 March 2019 (UTC)
- @Marchjuly: The ticket gives permission to use the image on Wikipedia, but does not freely license the image. Future Perfect at Sunrise added {{Non-free with permission}} in 2008, and I've updated the OTRS template to {{OTRS received old}}. I think those should cover the current status of the image. See the previous discussion for background. I agree that the non-free use is problematic. — JJMC89 (T·C) 02:44, 14 March 2019 (UTC)
