Welcome to the VRT noticeboard

Wikimedia's volunteer response team (VRT) 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 VRT members 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 0 days.

This noticeboard is primarily for
  1. Permissions verification and inquiries for text and files (hosted on the English Wikipedia) said to have been granted permission via VRTS.
  2. Requests for VRT member review of matters that have been described as VRT comments or actions.
  3. 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).

Colleagues, I would like to attract your attention to the fact that Wikimedia Foundation has received an e-mail confirming that the copyright holder has approved publication of this image under Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 4.0 International license. This correspondence has been reviewed by a Commons VRT member and stored in our permission archive. The correspondence is available to trusted volunteers as ticket #2023032010011928 and this fact is mentioned on Commons at [1]. Thus now the licensing information is different for the two copies of the same file. I would suggest to delete the copy from English Wikipedia as all the legal and licensing problems are solved and it should be deleted under F8 criteria. Thank you and regards, --LexKurochkin (talk) 11:18, 23 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@LexKurochkin done. You could simply have tagged the file for deletion under F8. Nthep (talk) 13:19, 23 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Thank you very much! I am mostly active at Commons and not really experienced on this side of Wikipedia. --LexKurochkin (talk) 13:39, 23 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
