Thank you for flagging the copyright violation. I agree with the removal. However, there was other content that was removed that did not come from the website you flagged. This included infobox additions, a new section, and other text in the introduction not related to the vision/mission paragraphs.

I have reintroduced these elements onto the page. I will leave mission/vision absent.

COI on my profile. Happy to add elsewhere if needed.

You deleted all my updates. There was nothing of any Copyright value. All updates were from publicly available sources. And more to the point, most of my update was reformatting.

So I'd be obliged if you would reinstate my updates please. Or at least discuss. MartinOjsyork (talk) 17:52, 7 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

I am curious about this edit, which added as a reference what now appears to be a paywalled site. I ask because we are preparing to disambiguate the term "Yelo", but also because it is unclear how this reference applies to the content of the preceding sentence. I thought you might have some insight into that. Cheers! BD2412 T 17:14, 27 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

Sorry I wish I could help. I see that yet it is my only edit to that article. On occasion, I have undertaken to improve references to articles but they are typically articles in which I have personal interest, and this doesn't that criteria. I do see that it is pay walled I wonder if it was pay walled at the time. I tried accessing it and failed. S Philbrick(Talk) 17:33, 27 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

Good day, I see that you've uploaded this file as fair use together with a VRT ticket number. Possible to verify if the license is ok for commons? --Min☠︎rax^«¦talk¦» 02:37, 27 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Unfortunately, I have no specific recollection of this action. I was active in VTRS (then OTRS)  at the time but I no longer an active there and do not have access. The situation seems puzzling on its face. Generally speaking, the use of a nonfree logo is to meet certain criteria as spelled out on the talk page, but that can be done without permission. The point of permission is to get an acceptable version so that it does not have to be nonfree. Sorry, you will have to track down an agent who can look at the ticket.
