A couple of probable rules of thumb for our own comfort: a) The more senior the contact (or the smaller the organisation they're in) the more likely they are to have authority; b) Any indication that a legal, publishing, or licensing department was involved, the more likely it is to be supported
This is amazing. At least in Italy, as far as I can see, when it comes to copyright we only have problems with excessive bureaucracy, controls, caution and escalating; never the opposite. You're very lucky if you find such enthusiast "corporate [alleged] representatives"!
The target I'm thinking of is PR people who are actually fans of WIkipedia (these exist and are enthusiastic) and who can see something useful to them (get their pics into Wikipedia). So the trick is how to make an image donation reasonably safe without causing so much bureaucracy we can't safely accept the donation.
