- Support – EV, and meets the 7 day waiting period in Denisovan. But how do we know the uploader is the scientist (the copyright holder), because anyone can pick any username? Bammesk (talk) 23:37, 26 April 2020 (UTC)
- Bammesk, I reached out to her through her university email address in May of 2019 to ask her if she'd be willing to upload photos. It took a while, she probably had to seek permission. —valereee (talk) 12:02, 27 April 2020 (UTC)
- Great and I agree with Josh. Commons has a process here, I don't know much about it, so I am pinging @Kaldari: who knows a lot more. Bammesk (talk) 02:18, 28 April 2020 (UTC)
- FWIW, I emailed her at her uni address a couple days ago to thank her for uploading and let her know it had been used on twenty pages over 7 languages of wiki, and she answered me saying they were happy it was useful. There's a slight language barrier, so if we need to go to OTRS it would be helpful if someone who speaks Chinese could reach out to help her through the process. —valereee (talk) 23:40, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
