How many #Wikipedia #editors do I have here? I need a bit of emergency help. Someone marked all of my photos for deleting due to “missing permissions”. I think they will be deleted within 7 days.

Please boost so that more people can see this.

@kushal The photos are on Wikimedia Commons? Admin there are quite fussy sometimes and I've had this too. I'm not an expert, but can you post a link to an example photo and I may me able to see what's missing?

@kushal @rhysw Where is that showing as marked for deletion? I would have thought it would be in the talk page?

@kushal @rhysw All the photos I see seem to be of living people, mostly in non-public settings, so I think this policy applies: commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Com

Presumably you need to add the {{consent}} template.

@kushal @rhysw Note that it seems like for photos taken in Sweden the subjects specifically need to have consented to having their photo used commercial.

@kushal @rhysw I think that you just need to send an email to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org to confirm that you own the license to the photos in question.
