Would appreciate if someone is able to verify the ticket. --Minorax«¦talk¦» 10:11, 2 September 2022 (UTC)
- @Minorax: The ticket is a request to update the image in the company's article, not a release under a free license. — JJMC89 (T·C) 01:05, 3 September 2022 (UTC)
Please clarify
I'm unclear about the status of File:Butler Plantation Weeping Time historical marker, McIntosh County, GA, US.jpg, ticket 2022082410008981.
I took the photo of the historical marker and uploaded it. Someone objected to it. The Georgia Historical Society wrote to Permissions and said that it was free under commons license 4.0, I think. Today I was CCed on an email back to them saying that the file info had been updated.
The photo was used in two articles, but someone removed them. Can I put them back in the articles, and, since it is now free, can I upload the original file again? Can I remove the "fair use" thing? (It is currently listed as an orphaned non-free work, and I think that is wrong.) Bubba73 You talkin' to me? 22:08, 5 September 2022 (UTC)
- @Bubba73: Not sure why the bot thought the image was under fair use. You can put it back in the articles, yes. Elli (talk | contribs) 22:12, 5 September 2022 (UTC)
- The bot probably thought that because when someone marked it as a copyright violation, I put "fair use" until I could see if the Georgia Historical Society would tell permissions that it is free. I noticed you just took that out, thanks. Bubba73 You talkin' to me? 22:15, 5 September 2022 (UTC)
