Nothing stops us from developing to the point where we can, if you will, discover [[:en:mental Radio|radio]] and stop listening for jungle drums or looking for smoke signals. A substantial advance in physics will be required to understand this of course (as opposed to just use it, here the analogy is to the masses in world culture that use semi-conductor based technology but are oblivious to the principles of quantum mechanics upon which it is based), but at least we have a physics, primitive peoples only have their religion.

==File permission problem with File:Axion brand PEMS Unit, Portable Emissions Measurement System.jpg==
[[:en:File:Copyright-problem.svg|64px|left|alt=|link=]]
Thanks for uploading '''[[:File:Axion brand PEMS Unit, Portable Emissions Measurement System.jpg]]'''. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.
If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
* make a note permitting reuse under the [[WP:CC-BY-SA|CC-BY-SA]] or another acceptable free license (see [[Wikipedia:File copyright tags/Free licenses|this list]]) '''at the site of the original publication'''; or
* Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to '''permissions-en@wikimedia.org''', stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter [[WP:CONSENT|here]]. If you take this step, add {{tl|OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.
If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to '''permissions-en@wikimedia.org'''.
If you believe the media meets the criteria at [[Wikipedia:Non-free content]], use a tag such as {{tl|non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at [[Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use]], and add a [[Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline|rationale]] justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See [[Wikipedia:File copyright tags]] for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in [{{fullurl:Special:Log|type=upload&user=Lycurgus}} your upload log]. '''Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged''', as described on [[wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#Files|criteria for speedy deletion]]. You may wish to read Wikipedia's [[Wikipedia:image use policy|image use policy]]. If you have any questions please ask them at the [[Wikipedia:Media copyright questions|Media copyright questions page]]. Thank you.<!-- Template:Di-no permission-notice --> — [[User:Diannaa|Diannaa]] ([[User talk:Diannaa|talk]]) 17:56, 12 March 2016 (UTC)
:Please refer to GMRV on this, I do not have a current biz relationship with them, was a W2/4 employee at the time, and the action was approved by Earl (COO and I think the person who captured the image) and implicitly the ownership. I believe the admin (Michele Simmons) was supposed to supply anything needed in terms of what you may be asking for. I believe they are still in biz, still the only actual thing matching the article subject (PEMS), and likely will still want the image (or another) prominent in the article.

::https://www.linkedin.com/company/global-mrv-inc is the only web presence I could find working right now. They should be reachable if you leave a message at some provided contact, earl.leatherland and michele.simmons @ globalmrv.com and dmunro1@optonline.net should work unless they're no longer in biz, in which case you can decide.

:::Also http://www.greencarcongress.com/2015/10/20151008-firefly.html shows the next generation thing which may be an alternate for the image which was placed upon request. I do believe GMRV personnel have had a hand in the text of the article, and that an individual (departed long b4 my involvement) may have done the original article, but I only placed the image.

::::Haven't received any active feedback, but my sense is they were sold/moved. So fine to let the automation delete the image I think. [[Special:Contributions/108.183.102.223|108.183.102.223]] ([[User talk:108.183.102.223|talk]]) 04:51, 15 March 2016 (UTC)
{{od}} I did speak to Michelle and she indicated they were aware. [[Special:Contributions/108.183.102.223|108.183.102.223]] ([[User talk:108.183.102.223|talk]]) 13:20, 15 March 2016 (UTC)
