[edit] User:CBM/verifypermission

User space is not the appropriate place for something that looks like an official template -Nard 13:52, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

I would be glad to move it to the main space, but really I'm only planning to use it to make one sweep through all the images tagged {{withpermission}}, so I didn't see the point.

The point of the template is: I'm going through all the images tagged with {{withpermission}} to see if they have anything resembling contact info for the person making the release. You can look at Category:Images used with permission without documentation of permission to see the ones that don't. I will then contacting the users who uploaded the images to try to get better information. For example, User:Morven uploaded many of the train images, and has said he will try to find the copyright release info.

This sort of cleanup has to be done sometime. — Carl (CBM · talk) 14:01, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

• Keep - This is an admin who does alot of image work. I think that this template is perfectly reasonable especially if it will enable him to save valuable time that he can then apply to further activities. --After Midnight ⁰⁰⁰¹ 16:33, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
  • I have already (since I started yesterday) clarified the status of several images as a result of this tag, when someone watching the image contacted me or added info to the image description page. — Carl (CBM · talk) 16:48, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
• Keep User space is a fine place to store and work on templates in progress. --KSmrq^T 00:12, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
• Keep - He's doing work that not many others are doing, and it will save him time in doing so. Neranei (talk) 19:04, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
