Guten Abend, es handelt sich bei dem gelöschten File um ein familiengeschichtlich relevantes Dokument der Plessen-Familie. Das Dokument ist bzgl. des abgewickelten Rittergutes Dolgen von zentraler Relevanz und erklärt historische Fakten nach der Wiedervereinigung Deutschlands. Das Rittergut Dolgen ist insgesamt von enzyklopädischer Relevanz. MfG --Gordito1869 (talk) 19:21, 27 January 2024 (UTC)

All of the people mentioned are identified by their real names by the Chairman of the Plessen-Family and I therefore see no violations of personal rights through the historical family document. - My mother Rosemarie Pfeiffer (geb. von Plessen) is dead. This is a historical- and one of the last documents of the Dolgener-Plessen-Family and it was the last with of my dead mother to complete the family documents, regarding "Rittergut Dolgen" of her suicided father Leopold Freiherr von Plessen, in an encyclopedic format for all Plessen-members and Wiki-readers. I think the chairman of the Plessen family - User:Christian von Plessen - also agrees, since he has publicly named everyone's real names.

@Raymond du hast offenbar eine Oversight Anfrage zu dieser Datei bekommen und diese durchgeführt. Abgesehen davon waren die Angaben zu Autor und Urheberrecht falsche, es müsste auch geklärt werden, woher das Dokument stammt. GPSLeo (talk) 08:21, 28 January 2024 (UTC)
Das historische Familiendokument der Plessen stammt - völlig klar erkennbar von User:Christian von Plessen - dem Vorsitzenden des Familienverbandes der Plessen. Ich denke, Herr Rechtsanwalt Dr. jur. Christian von Plessen zu Damshagen & Schönfeld wird mit der Veröffentlichung des historischen Dokuments bzgl. des Rittergutes Dolgen sehr einverstanden sein, da er selber alle Klarnamen öffentlich publiziert hat und immer an einer wahrheitsgemäßen enzyklopädischen Außerdarstellung der Familie von Plessen sehr interessiert ist, so denke ich. Als Rechtsanwalt und Volljurist hat er die Publizierung der Klarnamen hinsichtlich des Datenschutzes ganz sicherlich geprüft, so denke ich. MfG --Gordito1869 (talk) 10:03, 28 January 2024 (UTC)
@GPSLeo Das ist richtig. Der Benutzer mag sich gerne für eine Überprüfung wieder an die Oversighter, aber logischerweise nicht an mich, wenden. Raymond (talk) 10:04, 28 January 2024 (UTC)

The activation of this historical document +++ https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:R%C3%BCckabwicklung_des_Plessengutes_Dolgen_am_See.pdf&action=edit&redlink=1 +++ would be even more important, as it clearly documents the final and historical demise of the Dolgen manor. All people were publicly expelled from Commons by the chairman of the Plessen-family association +++ here +++. I therefore do not recognize any data protection violations. I would very politely ask you to also unlock this encyclopedic and contemporary historical document. Best regards --Gordito1869 (talk) 07:49, 29 January 2024 (UTC) - PS : "...das Verständnis familiärer und historischer Zusammenhänge" ist das enzyklopädische Ziel; deshalb ist die Freischaltung i.S. des Vorsitzenden des Familienverbandes der Plessen enzyklopädisch dringend geboten & absolut erwünscht, so denke ich. ... vgl. auch +++ hier +++; die neuesten Forschungsstände zum abgewickelten Rittergut Dolgen wurden leider bisher noch nicht enzyklopädisch erfasst resp. dokumentiert. MfG --Gordito1869 (talk) 09:03, 29 January 2024 (UTC)-
@(Christian von Plessen have now been repeatedly asked publicly to support the activation by publicly agreeing; since it is a verified user Template:User account verified I suggest that the support team made a corresponding request to the verified User / Benutzer Christian von Plessen via e-mail. The matter is very important for all Plessen and CvP will certainly agree, I think. Best regards --Gordito1869 (talk) 08:37, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

...zur vollständigen familiengeschichtlichen-, historischen- und auch enzyklopädischen Dokumentation der Abwicklung des historischen Rittergutes Dolgen wäre sicherlich insgesamt die Freischaltung folgender - gelöschter - Files wünschenswert und im enzyklopädischen Interesse der Familie von Plessen :

Die Freischaltung der vorstehenden Files würde die komplette jüngere Vergangenheit der sog. "Nach-Wende-Zeit" vollständig visuell ab dieser Zeit abbilden; genau das liegt exakt im erklärten wissenschaftlichen Forschungs-Interesse des Vorsitzenden des Familienverbandes der Plessen @(Christian von Plessen, so denke ich. Beste Grüße --Gordito1869 (talk) 14:47, 30 January 2024 (UTC)--Gordito1869 (talk) 14:47, 30 January 2024 (UTC) --- ps : es liegt leider die absolute Vermutung nahe, wir könnten es hier mit einem Hochstapler der PLESSEN zu tun haben, der sich als vorgeblicher Rechtsanwalt in eigener Sache mutmaßlich widerrechtlich ausgegeben haben könnte, so denke ich (nach meiner sehr validen Kenntnis familiärer Zusammenhänge ist CvP kein (!) Rechtsanwalt ... und auch niemals Rechtsanwalt gewesen, so denke ich. - MfG --Gordito1869 (talk) 19:00, 30 January 2024 (UTC) ... ps II. - ich denke, die aktive Untätigkeit des Vorsitzenden der Plessen - @(Christian von Plessen - resp. Rechtsanwalt (?) Dr. jur. Christian von Plessen - könnte als passive Zustimmung zur Freischaltung der historischen- & familiengeschichtlich besonders wertvollen Dokumente ausgelegt werden. Vielleicht kann mit der Freischaltung des ersten Dokuments begonnen werden, das den Vorsitzenden des Familienverbandes der Plessen sehr persönlich angeht ? - MfG --Gordito1869 (talk) 09:19, 31 January 2024 (UTC) ... ich denke, CvP liest - wie eigentlich immer - vollständig hier mit; wenn nunmehr auch noch eine e-mail Anfrage des support teams an @(Christian von Plessen ohne Reaktion verläuft, sollte m.E. freigeschaltet werden. Die unvollständige & absolut beschönigende resp. wahrheitswidrige Plessen-Saga des Edelherren Christian von Plessen muss unverzüglich geschichtsfest fortgeschrieben werden, so denke ich. - Ich habe ein aller-letztes Mal persönlich versucht, mit familiären & sehr persönlichen Worten, diesen offenbar völlig "abgetauchten" User "aus der Reserve" zu locken. - Alle entscheidenden familiären Zusammenhänge waren dem Vorsitzenden der Plessen bekanntlich leider bisher nicht bekannt, das sollte sich durch Freischaltung der hist. und enzyklopädisch wertvollen Familiendokumente aller Plessen sicherlich ändern können, so denke ich. --- Wie vermutlich einige (deutschsprachige) User bereits festgestellt haben werden, haben wir es mit dem widerwärtigsten und ehrlosesten VERRAT in der 1000-jährigen Geschichte der Plessen zu tun; Wiki-Commons ist m.E. der würdigste Ort, Geschichte enzyklopädisch und familienhistorisch korrekt zu schreiben resp. zu dokumentieren. - Wikipedia und Wiki-Commons sind "Orte", die sich der Wahrheit verschrieben haben und deren User/Benutzer nicht käuflich sind (ich selbst war und bin als Mensch und Bundebeamter niemals im Leben käuflich) : nur deshalb war ich lange Jahre Wikipedia Autor (158-Artikel & Listen) ... und bin seit ewigen Zeiten Wiki-Commons-User. Geschichte muss immer & überall auf UNSERER Welt auf nackter & ungeschönter Wahrheit beruhen, so denke ich ! - MfG Michael Pfeiffer alias --Gordito1869 (talk) 19:35, 31 January 2024 (UTC)--Gordito1869 (talk) 19:35, 31 January 2024 (UTC) ... ich denke, wenn @(Christian von Plessen keinerlei "Lebenszeichen" mehr seit nunmehr 3-Jahren - als vormals sehr aktiver Commons-User & hochtalentierter Wikipedia-Schriftsteller - von sich gibt, ist das sicherlich kein gutes Zeichen. (Bei Wikipedia gibt es für diesen Fall eigens die "Liste der vermissten Wikipedianer". Eine Anfrage unter dessen hinterlegter e-mail Adresse wäre vor Aufnahme in die Vermisstenliste - rein aus Fürsorgegründen - dringend geboten, so denke ich. Auch die durch Herrn Rechtsanwalt Dr. jur. Christian von PLESSEN vor 3-Jahren bereits angekündigte enzyklopädische Fortschreibung der "Plessen-Sage" darf m.E. nicht auf unbestimmte Zeit ausgesetzt werden, so denke ich. --Gordito1869 (talk) 13:05, 3 February 2024 (UTC)

Guten Abend + kurz nachgefragt : Spricht etwas dagegen, die enyklopädisch- und insbes. familiengeschichtlich- resp. historisch relevanten Dokumente in anonymisierter Form (wie z.B. hier : geschwärzt) ggf. neu hochzuladen ? - H.E. steht nicht mehr zu erwarten, dass der mannigfach "angepingte" User einer Publizierung zustimmen wird; ich denke, die Gründe dafür sollten hinlänglich bekannt sein. Das Anonymisieren von Akten ist allgemein üblich - ohne die zu dokumentierenden Fakten auszublenden. MfG --Gordito1869 (talk) 20:52, 3 February 2024 (UTC)
Guten Morgen, gibt es administrativ irgend eine Vorstellung, wie meine "undeletion requests" zum Abschluss gebracht werden könn(t)en ? - Ich möchte nochmals höflich darauf hinweisen, dass die familiengeschichtlichen Dokumente der "Plessen-Family" zum Verständnis der komplexen historischen Situation nach 1990 (Wiedervereinigung) von zentraler Bedeutung sind und - auch enzyklopädisch relevante - Zusammenhänge wahrheitsgemäß geschichtsfest dokumentieren (...ggf. mögen einzelne Namen und Adressen - aus Datenschutzgründen - geschwärzt werden; das ist/wäre ein absolut übliches Verfahren). - Herr (Rechtsanwalt (?)) Dr. jur. @(Christian von Plessen wird sich aus nachvollziehbaren Gründen sicherlich nicht mehr zum endgültig abgewickelten Rittergut Dolgen einlassen, so denke ich. - Die historischen Dokumente gehören allesamt +++ hier hin +++. --- MfG Michael Pfeiffer alias --Gordito1869 (talk) 07:43, 12 February 2024 (UTC)--Gordito1869 (talk) 07:43, 12 February 2024 (UTC)

@Minorax: , @Odder: , @Rama: We need an oversighter here, and Raymond was already involved and says others should take it on. Any other admins won't be able to do anything here. --Rosenzweig τ 09:54, 24 February 2024 (UTC)

Just to confirm that it is agreed that the privacy concern with regards to the files has been addressed and this is a successful undeletion request? --Min☠︎rax«¦talk¦» 10:04, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
I can't even see the files, nor do I have access to oversighter communication channels, so I cannot confirm anything. Presumably the privacy concern has not been addressed, but that's what an oversighter would need to look into and possibly tell the uploader which parts of the documents would need to be covered/blocked/removed for a re-upload which was already suggested by the uploader (and then probably close this undeletion request as unsuccessful). Any other admins won't be able to move this forward. --Rosenzweig τ 10:40, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
@Raymond: Mind commenting on this? Google translate doesn't seem to be helping me to understand the situation. --Min☠︎rax«¦talk¦» 02:54, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
They are documents of Plessen-family history and historical value. Professor Ernst Münch (University of Rostock)-, the renowned writer Elisabeth Plessen and other experts were involved in the important Plessen documents and the matter at all; activation is also expected for scientific reasons. If there are data protection concerns, certain information may need to be blacked out, which is common practice. - If it causes "a headache", please at least unblock this one document regarding Dolgen-Manor : https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:R%C3%BCckabwicklung_des_Plessengutes_Dolgen_am_See.pdf&action=edit&redlink=1 --- All people involved were named personally by @Dr. jur. Christian von Plessen, the chairman of the Plessen-Family himself; Data protection violations are therefore not apparent. - Best regards : --Gordito1869 (talk) 10:21, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
@Minorax Email sent. Raymond (talk) 11:08, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

@Dr. jur. Christian von Plessen wird sich - mehr als offensichtlich & aus allseits bekannten Gründen - nicht zu den historisch & familiengeschichtlich (enzyklopädisch) wertvollen (hier leider gelöschten) Familiendokumenten bzgl. Rittergut Dolgen einlassen, so denke ich. - PS : Bei Ratten im Langzeitversuch verursachte GVO in der Nahrungskette diverse Krebserkrankungen; ich hoffe dringend, meinem "lieben" Verwandten a.d.H. 19205 Schönfeld blieb- resp. bleibt das Schicksal der armen & kranken Genraps-Ratten erspart ... und der Edelherr äußert sich nun ggf. aus gesundheitlichen Gründen nicht mehr, obwohl er seine "Plessen-Saga" noch allumfassend & in seinem Sinne fortschreiben & bebildern wollte (?) - MfG --Gordito1869 (talk) 09:00, 28 February 2024 (UTC)

You are a true man of honor and hero of our democracy : Thank you on behalf of my dead Plessen mother and my dead grandfather Leopold from the Dolgen Manor house !!! - Best regards, Michael J. Pfeiffer alias --Gordito1869 (talk) 20:47, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
@Minorax: I've looked at some, but will need a bit more time to read them all and form an opinion about their copyright status, if they're in scope, and about possible privacy concerns. --Rosenzweig τ 08:37, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
(Please don't forget : all real names were published by the @Dr. jur. Christian von Plessen (@Christian von Plessen: ) personally. The documents regarding Dolgen manor are of central importance for a truthful continuation of the encyclopedic and family history-relevant "Plessen saga". - Best regards, Michael Pfeiffer alias --Gordito1869 (talk) 10:32, 1 March 2024 (UTC) )
@Minorax: I've looked at them all now. As far as copyright is concerned, this is a bunch of letters by lawyers and official agencies as well as contracts, all in a rather factual language and not very original, so I think one could say the texts are below COM:TOO Germany. As far as privacy is concerned, we have a bunch of names here as well as birth dates and street addresses, but the people involved have either already died several years ago or don't seem to be terribly bothered by these letters being public. It's not that the letters contain any intimate secrets anyway, it's all about buying back family property that had been expropriated in the Communist eastern part of Germany after the Second World War.
Which brings us to the 3rd point, project scope. These letters etc. are all documenting a dispute about property and money between various members of this family. It seems the whole thing was pursued in a rather litigious manner, we have a decision by the petition committee of the German federal parliament (the Bundestag) here, and apparently one side tried to bring the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg into this, unsuccesfully as far as I can see.
Gordito1869 argues that all these letters are somehow about the de:Herrenhaus Dolgen manor and therefore share its notability, but I don't quite see it that way. The letters are barely about the house at all, but about agricultural lands that were once attached to it (and were then expropriated), about who will be able to buy them back or get a compensation for them in money etc. That all seems hardly enclycopaedic to me, and probably we should delete the whole bunch of files again (or technically, decline the undeletion request) as being out of scope.
That's how I see it anyway, but we'd need more opinions by others (and we already know that Gordito1869 wants them permanently undeleted, so no need to write that again). You'd need to be able to read German though to understand the content. @Achim55: From what I've seen, you seem to have edited some of the files. Dou you have an opinion regarding the problems above, leave the files undeleted permanently or delete them again, copyright, privacy concerns, project scope? Or anyone else able to read German and understand the files? Regards --Rosenzweig τ 21:46, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
@Achim55: Hallo Achim, zugegeben, die Themen "Flucht & Vertreibung", "Lügen vs. Wahrheit" sind nicht einfach und nicht zwingend enzyklopädisch - aber sie gehören imho zur zeitgeschichtlichen & wahrheitsgemäßen Reflexion in seriösen Nachschlagwerken dazu (...und Wikipedia zähle ich ganz sicherlich dazu, sonst wäre nicht kürzlich mein 10.000 Edit unter Commons gewürdigt worden ... und auch meine unzähligen Bilder (seit ca. 15-Jahren) hatten im Masse einigen enzyklopädischen "Wert"). - Die Plessen sind ganz ohne Frage enzyklopädisch relevant - und mein leiblicher und ehelicher Ur-Ur-Urgroßvater Leopold von Plessen und dessen Rittergut Dolgen besaßen bis 1990 Ansehen, Würde und EHRE. - Meine hochgeladenen Dokumente, die hier einmal mehr diskutiert werden, dokumentieren unzweifelhaft, wie das Rittergut Dolgen des LvP durch unberechtigte Dritte endgültig irreversibel zerschlagen und abgewickelt wurde; ich halte das für zeit- und familiengeschichtlich sehr relevant und es entspricht unbedingt auch dem erklärten Ziel von User:Christian von Plessen, der das "Verständnis familiärer und historischer Zusammenhänge" offen legen will : genau das will ich ja auch - aber wahrheitsgemäß und faktenbasiert. - Das Plessengut Damshagen, das dem Onkel Hans-Balduin von Plessen des hiesigen Users:Christian von Plessen rechtmäßig gehörte, findet hier breite wissenschaftliche Beachtung und mannigfache Würdigung in einem Nachschlagwerk ... und auch Dolgen darf imho nicht familiengeschichtlich-, wissenschaftlich-, enzyklopädisch völlig "unter den Teppich gekehrt werden", denke ich. - Ich bitte deshalb sehr höflich darum, die wenigen historischen Dokumente und Urkunden, die Dolgen und seine traurige Geschichte nach 1990 betreffen, zu erhalten. (Wie ich bereits mehrfach vorgeschlagen hatte, mögen ja datenschutzrechtlich bedenkliche Stellen in den Dokumenten gerne geschwärzt werden; das entspricht z.B. auch absolut gängiger rechtlich korrekter Praxis bei der Verwendung/Auswertung von Strafakten, wie ich aus meiner langjährigen Dienstzeit als Bundesbeamter beim (BA)MAD konkret weiß). Da mit dem Nationalsozialisten Reimar von Plessen (2. Vorsitzender der antidemokratischen Herrengesellschaft Mecklenburg) und dem absolut widerwärtigen (!) Nationalsozialisten & Gauwirtschaftsberater der NSDAP, Hennecke von Plessen bereits zwei mehr als fragwürdige und unseriöse Nazi-Schergen den Familienvorsitz der Plessen führten, gilt es heute, das "Verständnis familiärer und historischer Zusammenhänge" im Sinne des aktuellen Vorsitzenden der Plessen - User:Christian von Plessen - besonders emotionsfrei und sachlich - aber insbes. (wissenschaftlich korrekt) geschichtsfest zu dokumentieren. (q.e.d.) - MfG Michael Pfeiffer alias --Gordito1869 (talk) 21:05, 11 March 2024 (UTC) - ps : "By the way" : Der durch User:Christian von Plessen unter Klarnamen & unter Wiki-Commons genannte- und mannigfach vs. Dolgen involvierte Rechtsanwalt Dr. von Hugo war Geschäftsführer der Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Agrarfragen (AfA) und Beschwerdeführer von SBZ-Alteigentümern vor dem EGMR : bitte schauen Sie sich das "Rechts(staats)verständnis" der AfA an (nur völlig "durgeknallte" Reichsbürger würden solche Hass- und Hetzschriften vs. unseren Rechtsstaat und unsere unabhängige Justiz öffentlich publizieren, so denke ich); nur durch eine absolut unheilige Allianz von Vettern-BVVG und der AfA wurden solche (rechtsstaatlichen ?) Machenschaften und faktiischen Insich-Geschäfte überhaupt erst ermöglicht ... und NEIN : User:Christian von Plessen war und ist nachweislich KEIN (!) Rechtsanwalt, der SEINE VETTERN-BVVG in eigener Sache (Damshagen) mannigfach vertreten hatte. - Man darf & kann nur hoffen, dass sich unser Staatsschutz den absolut fragwürdigen Machenschaften von AfA & Vettern-BVVG & und ihren Günstlingen - resp. vertretenden Nicht-Rechtsanwälten im "Outfit" von vermeintlichen "Edelherren" - endgültig rechtsstaatlich annimmt ! --- Achim, wenn sie die +++ realen heutigen Zustände +++ in ihrer und UNSERER geliebten Heimat in der vormaligen SBZ / DDR emotionsfrei und sachlich zur Kenntnis nehmen - dann löschen sie bitte relevante Beweisakten und historisch / enzyklopädisch wertvolle Dokumente (insbes. zum Rittergut Dolgen) nicht; diese "Geschichte resp. Plessen-Saga" von AfA & Vettern-BVVG vs. redliche-, gutgläubige und ehrbare (!) Menschen in Ost und West ist leider immer noch nicht zu Ende "erzählt" worden. - MfG Michael Pfeiffer, investigativer User und vormaliger Nachrichtendienstler alias --Gordito1869 (talk) 08:10, 12 March 2024 (UTC) --- ps II : Es sollte mir ferner gestattet sein, eine öffentliche Gegendarstellung (an Ort und Stelle) zu dieser (öffentlichen-, verleumderischen und nachweislich unwahren) Tatsachenbehauptung seitens meines Verwandten User:Christian von Plessen faktenbasiert-, beweiskräftig und wahrheitsgemäß zu publizieren : Zitat User:Christian von Plessen "Sie haben mich wider besseres Wissen wiederholt öffentlich als Schurken hingestellt. Das war keine Fehde zwischen uns, sondern es war üble Nachrede Ihrerseits, die erst durch Rechtsanwalt Kossyk gerichtlich beigelegt wurde." (Zitat-Ende). - NEIN, ich habe User:Christian von Plessen NICHT (!) wider besseres Wissen als Schurken öffentlich hingestellt; meine hochgeladenen Dokumente und Urkunden beweisen familiengeschichtlich-, historisch-, wissenschaftlich und auch strafrechtlich das exakte Gegenteil : (Niemand (...und schon garnicht als treuer Staatsdiener a.D.) muss sich unter Wiki-Commons - öffentlich & ohne Gegendarstellung - durch einen User wahrheitswidrig verleumden lassen, so denke ich.) q.e.d. (Bitte lösche die Dokumente aus zahlreichen Gründen nicht, Achim; wer sich an den nackten Fakten stört wird sich ggf. melden.) --- MfG M. Pfeiffer alias --Gordito1869 (talk) 09:03, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

Diese Tirade lässt mich umso mehr zu der Ansicht tendieren, dass diese ganzen Briefe usw. nichts für Wikimedia Commons sind. Dass bestimmte Personen oder Gebäude usw. für Wikipedia & Co. relevant sind, heißt nicht, dass wir allen möglichen Schriftverkehr dazu haben und aufbewahren wollen. Hier geht es um irgendwelche Privatstreitigkeiten, und wir sind nicht die Plattform, auf der die beteiligten Parteien oder auch nur eine davon ihre Sichtweisen dazu ausbreiten können. --Rosenzweig τ 09:32, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

Wenn ich sie oben richtig verstanden habe, wurde @Achim55: von Ihnen um "dritte Meinung" (but we'd need more opinions by others) gebeten (ihre rein pers. Meinung hatten sie doch bereits artikuliert). - Eine sog. "Tirade" ist auch nicht Gegenstand dieser Diskussion (sondern diente ausschließlich Achim zur reinen Klarstellung der komplexen Situation; wer sollte sich an historisch-/familiengeschichtlich-/zeitgeschichtlich sehr relevanten Dokumenten & Urkunden stören können, die eine Enzyklopädie imho bereichern ?) --- Die Freischaltung der vormals gelöschten Dokumente wurde hier seit dem 27. Januar 2024 umfassend diskutiert; erst danach ist die Freischaltung erfolgt. Die nach demokratischer Willensbildung wieder hergestellten Dokumente sollen doch wohl jetzt - auf blanken Zuruf hin - nicht einmal mehr gelöscht werden ? - Wird hier ein "Ping-Pong-Spiel" auf dem Rücken von Usern & Betroffenen ausgetragen, oder was soll das hier werden ? - Der Abschiedsbrief des Leopold Frhr. von Plessen vom 29. April 1945 auf Dolgen wurde - nach umfassender Diskussion - auch nicht gelöscht; die nunmehr wieder freigeschalteten Dokumente betreffen das Rittergut Dolgen und die Ehre & Reputation dieses Mannes - und die Dokumente haben insgesamt einen erheblichen familiengeschichtlichen & wissenschaftlichen Erkenntniswert und dienen damit Wikipedia. - MfG M. Pfeiffer --Gordito1869 (talk) 10:45, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
Demokratische Willensbildung? Jetzt ist aber gut, das ist keine Abstimmung hier. Die Dateien wurden vorläufig wiederhergestellt, damit man sie überhaupt erst einmal einsehen (ging vorher nicht, weil "oversighted") und beurteilen kann. Mehr nicht. --Rosenzweig τ 11:10, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
ok, wenn perverse Pornobilder und abnormale Sex-Videos (sog. "Sexual intercourse in...") einen ganz erheblichen erzieherischen und insbes. enzyklopädischen "Wert" für minderjährige Kinder haben (sollen) - warum dann aber nicht auch zeitgeschichtlich- und enzyklopädisch absolut seriöse und valide Dokumente ? - Wenn es tatsächlich keine mehrheitliche (demokratische) Willensbildung bei Wiki-Commons gibt, dann bin- resp. wäre ich hier - als Demokrat und passionierter Rechtsstaatler - tatsächlich fehl am Platze.

  • @Infrogmation, @Rosenzweig. If the image was created by a state act, and images of awards and ribbon bars for them are prescribed in legislative acts, then such images are not protected by copyright. The year of death of the artist-author of the award design has absolutely nothing to do with copyright law. If the image of an award created by a legislative act of the Federal Republic of Germany is not protected by copyright, then, therefore, the image created by a legislative act of the GDR is not protected either. This is even written in Wikipedia. --Engelberthumperdink (talk) 17:26, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
So which official work of Germany do you think created this medal design? I mean, not just the decoration as such, but its specific design? --Rosenzweig τ 17:30, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
The order was established by the Council of Ministers of the GDR (p. 69). The statute of the order with a description of the images of the order and the ribbon bar for it was also established by the Council of Ministers of the GDR (p. 610). Do you not consider the Council of Ministers of the GDR to be an official institution? --Engelberthumperdink (talk) 17:43, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
The decoration is described in words there. This does not make the medal itself an official work in the legal sense, because the design is not part of this decree. --Rosenzweig τ 17:54, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
Laut Bundesgerichtshof müssen derartige Bekanntmachung „regelnden Inhalt“ aufweisen — Commons:Copyright_rules_by_territory/Germany/de. «Der Bundesadler ist mangels Schöpfungshöhe gemeinfrei, Blücherorden als amtliches Werk, genauso wie Bundesverdienstkreuz und andere staatlich herausgegebene Medaillen oder Orden» (1). In a number of countries it is stipulated that images of awards are not protected by copyright, but in general this is a completely normal state of affairs - that independently taken photographs of state awards or images of ribbon bars made based on original images are not protected by copyright. Give me at least one law of at least one country in which images of state awards are protected by copyright. Unless it is expressly stated in the law, this does not mean that you can claim copyright protection for images of government awards. Can you see for yourself how many inclusions there are here and there? --Engelberthumperdink (talk) 18:13, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
This is not about the law of other countries and what is “normal” there, it's only about German law. Unless there are clearly defined exceptions, the regular rules of German copyright law apply: Works are created by authors and protected for 70 years post mortem auctoris. There is an exception for official works, but it is quite restrictive compared to some other countries. German copyright statute law (the Urheberrechtsgesetz) is often less clear than we wish it would be, and that is when (in some cases at least) the courts step in. In the past, we thought that German stamps were in the public domain as official works (until a court told us they're not), and we've also come to the conclusion that German coins are not official works (COM:CUR Germany), and in that context a court even ruled that the official works exception only applies to text, not images. It's a rather low court, one of several, so that is not universal, but it does show a tendency.
I'm curious about these rather random German quotes you're inserting. Do you understand their content (you're not listing German among the languages in your userbox)? For example, the one about "regelnden Inhalt" says that not just any Bekanntmachung is an official work in the legal sense, but that this category is restricted to those Bekanntmachungen with regulatory content only. How does that have anything to do with the question at hand? The quote about the Bundesverdienstkreuz etc. is not a law, court decision or similar, but the opinion of a contributor to the Urheberrechtsfragen, de.wp's version of COM:VPC. I don't agree with all of it. --Rosenzweig τ 19:07, 13 March 2024 (UTC)

Images of Bolzano/Bozen Victory Monument

Hi, I'm requesting the undeletion of many images of the en:Bolzano Victory Monument: File:Leuchtring siegesdenkmal bozen.JPG, deleted in 2014 in this DR; File:Bozen Siegesdenkmal Inschrift.jpg, File:Siegesdenkmal Bozen Bolzano.jpg, File:Siegesdenkmal Bozen east.JPG, File:Siegesdenkmal Bozen south.jpg, File:Siegesdenkmal Bozen west.jpg, File:SiegesdenkmalBZ.jpg, File:SiegesdenkmalInschrift.2008-11-08.png, all deleted in 2013 in this DR; Image:Siegesdenkmal bozen.JPG, deleted in 2007 in this DR; Image:Bozner Siegesdenkmal.jpg, deleted in 2007 in this DR. The monument was commissioned in 1926 by the Chief of Government (Mussolini) and by the Ministry of Education to en:Marcello Piacentini, and it was inaugurated in 1928 (for the details see here pages 125 and 133). Therefore it should fall under Template:PD-ItalyGov at least since 1949 (way before the URAA, so no issue with the US copyright). The warning put in the category in 2023 by User:G.dallorto should be removed accordingly.--Friniate (talk) 10:07, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

I'm not sure. If the camera were from 1928 or so, it would be clear, but it is from 1971. And with just the head it is kind of hard to determine if it is a derivative of the earliest MM incarnation or of a later one. It doesn't look like either really. --Rosenzweig τ 14:01, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

Reason: Copyright holder has released the photo into the public domain: https://flickr.com/photos/uon/9662505368/ --Dclemens1971 (talk) 19:02, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

 Oppose There are two problems here. First, there is no reason to believe that the Flickr user has any right to make the image PD. That right belongs (or belonged) to the heirs of the actual painter. We don't know whether this is still under copyright or not.

Second, we do not know the name of the subject. I looked through the few images of bishops linked at Anglican_Church_of_Papua_New_Guinea and could not find a match. Although the source calls him "Bishop of New Guinea", he is dressed as a priest (bishops wear purple shirts). Without a name, I don't see any educational use for the image. Even if the copyright issue could be answered I can't see that a nameless and ambiguous image of a priest is in scope. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 14:16, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

I was also hesitant on this since it is an undated painting, but the Flickr user is part of a GLAM, and it's possible that the University of Newcastle Library is the copyright holder. I also agree with you on scope. Abzeronow (talk) 16:36, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
It is Bishop Philip Strong (see comparison photos here, here) and will be used on the Philip Strong page. It's not a painting, it's a colorised photographic slide. According to the University of Newcastle Library, the Library acquired the photo and has the authority to grant usage (see here); the Flickr page license makes clear it has been released into the public domain. Dclemens1971 (talk) 19:23, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
On flickr, it's not released into the PD, it's merely tagged with a PD mark, i.e. "free of known restrictions under copyright law". Similarly, on the newcastle.edu.au website, the Library does not claim to hold a copyright or authority, it merely states its opinion that "the photos in this collection are in the public domain" [1], which may well be correct in Australia. The various items were collected by Williamson. Apparently, the creators of the items are unknown to the Library and the Library concludes that the items are old enough that their copyrights have expired in Australia by the effect of law. The item "Bishop of New Guinea" looks like it could be from circa the 1940s, based on the looks of the subject. (The Library says that the items are from "until the mid-1930s". According to the Wikipedia article, Strong was Bishop of New Guinea from 1936 to 1962.) Assuming a first publication in Australia and assuming that the identity of the creator is indeed lost and impossible to know, that would probably make it eligible for the Commons tag PD-Australia. Not sure what its U.S. status can be. -- Asclepias (talk) 21:03, 30 March 2024 (UTC)

As I noted above, he is dressed as a priest, not a bishop. If this is Strong -- it's not obvious to me that this is Strong -- then he was made a Bishop in 1936, so the image must have been taken before that. However, we have no knowledge of when it was first published. Before 2005, the Australian rule for anonymous works was 50 years after publication, so if it was published before 1946 if missed the URAA date and is PD in the USA. It is PD in Australia if published before 1974. However, without any evidence of publication before 1946, I don't see how we can keep it. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 16:42, 31 March 2024 (UTC)

We usually assume that old pictures were published shortly after they were taken. This seems to be from around 1930, so it is OK with {{PD-Australia}} and {{PD-1996}}. Yann (talk) 17:16, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
Australian photographs were 50 years from creation, not publication, before 2005. The colorization may have a different status, but it seems to be before whatever scratches or dust marks that are in this scan, so it would seem they were done at the time. This seems virtually certain to have been published at the time; copies had to get their way into the archive somehow, and it seems to be a publicity portrait. It's certainly in scope even if not identified now; identification can easily come later. Papua New Guinea law would be 50 years from making available to the public, I think. The dates of the collection are up to the mid 1930s so it would have had to be in the Australian collection since then, presumably published. I can't see any significant doubts that the copyright still existed in either country in 1996.  Support Carl Lindberg (talk) 18:16, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
I agree that, without more evidence, it's not obvious if it is a photo of Strong. It might be a photo of any other priest, for example a circa 1900 photo of Gerald Sharp. Commons currently has at least 371 files from the same collection (Category:Archdeacon A.N. Williamson Collection) and their publication histories are probably undocumented also. But given that they're supposed to be from before 1940, they would be PD at least in Australia. -- Asclepias (talk) 19:12, 31 March 2024 (UTC)

From what I can see in the deleted files, they were marked as "permission received" on December 8, 2023 and then deleted one month later on January 8, 2024 as "No ticket permission since 8 December 2023", suggesting that the permission was not accepted.

Yes, the December 8 action by Krdbot makes it is clear that something was received at VRT, but Krd, who runs Krdbot and who is a VRT member, deleted the file for no permission on January 8, so it is clear that whatever was received was not a satisfactory free license. .     Jim . . .

  • Comment: Tending to support temporary undeletion in order to have a normal deletion request allowing an ordinary discussion of the FoP issue. From what I understand (n.b.: this is only from the little information publicly available and I could be missing something), the VRT ticket was about the photographs, it was the permission from the photographer. There does not seem to be a problem with the ticket, as shown by the photographs with the same ticket that are not deleted. Apparently, the deletion of the deleted files was unrelated to the ticket and it was about a different issue, a possible FoP thing about a part of the architecture of the building shown. Basically, Krd thinks that something is copyrighted and presents a FoP problem, and Subbass1 thinks that there is no FoP problem. They have not really explained their respective conclusions beyond stating them. IMO, that is the type of issue that is normally discussed and finds its solution in an ordinary deletion request. The protagonists can explain their respective views there. -- Asclepias (talk) 15:17, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
@Subbass1: Why didn't you write right away that you already inquired at the VRT notice board instead of just vaguely referring to an "unpleasant discussion"? If you had done that, the problem would have been apparent right away and all of us would have been spared the waste of time above. Your behavior is not helpful. And as Asclepias has already pointed out, this topic was not closed by anybody (if it had, the complete text would be on a blue background).
That being said, I have temporarily restored the files to aid this discussion. Per the article de:Lambertikirche (Aurich), this church is from 1835 and was altered in 1885, 1899, and 1960. The 1960 alterations seem to have been mainly restricted to removing one of the galleries, closing up two windows with bricks, moving the pulpit elsewhere and bringing back the original white paintwork. If that was all that was changed in 1960, and everything else goes back to the 19th century, there is most likely not a copyright problem with the interior architecture of this church. --Rosenzweig τ 19:53, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

The maps were created in compliance with Wikimedia Commons policies and guidelines, ensuring they meet the standards for free media files used by Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects. I kindly request the restoration of these map images to Wikimedia Commons so that they can continue to serve as educational resources for users.

Works for hire by Angiolo Mazzoni

Hello everyone. I'm requesting the undeletion of File:La Spezia - Palazzo delle Poste.jpg, File:Messina Centrale RFI Station Entrance.jpg, File:Palazzo delle Poste di Nuoro.jpg, File:Palazzo delle poste, pistoia.JPG, File:Palermo-Post-bjs.jpg, File:Poste Centrali Ferrara.JPG, File:Siena FS 1.JPG, File:Stazione Corridoio Trento Italia.jpg, File:07220008trentotrainstationstreetside.JPG, File:Stazione di reggio emilia.JPG, File:Gorica posta.JPG, File:Stazione Latina.jpg all deleted in this DR in 2013.

The photographed buildings are: it:Palazzo delle Poste (Nuoro) (1927), it:Palazzo delle Poste (Ferrara) (1930), Palazzo delle Poste di Gorizia (1930-1932), en:Latina railway station (1929-1932), it:Palazzo delle Poste (La Spezia) (1933), it:Palazzo delle Poste (Sabaudia) (1932-1934), it:Palazzo delle Poste (Palermo) (1934), en:Reggio Emilia railway station (1934-1935), en:Siena railway station (1935), it:Stazione di Trento (1932-1936), it:Palazzo delle Poste (Pistoia) (1937-1939), en:Messina Centrale railway station (rebuilt in 1939).

They are all general post offices and railway stations, designed by Angiolo Mazzoni in his role as engineer at the Ministry for Communications between 1924 and 1944 (see here for more informations, note that at that time both the Railways and the Post Service were part of the State administration under the direct control of the Ministry for Communications, before their transformation in private societies in the 1990s). They are therefore works for hire, the most recent building between them fell under Template:PD-ItalyGov in 1960 and they are all buildings built before 1990 so no issue with US copyright.--Friniate (talk) 16:56, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

This file was deleted with reason "This file is a copyright violation for the following reason: Although this video was licensed under CC on YouTube, Prime Video is not the copyright owner for the Rocky film". This decision is seemingly an oversight due to the YouTube account being an official account of Amazon, and Amazon having procured MGM studios and rights to the Rocky franchise per [4]. Second guessing whether a studio/label owning a movie franchise really did intend to release something with a CC-BY license was dealt with in some depth at Commons:Deletion requests/Files in Category:Hogwarts Legacy (outcome was 'Keep') and a decision to second guess Amazon for Rocky would be highly inconsistent with that past decision (and others like it). Note that this YouTube account in question only releases some, not all, videos with a CC-BY license, and the process of selecting a CC-BY license in YouTube's interface is opt-in. The YouTube account of Amazon was created in 2016 and the various CC-BY licensed videos have been published for over a year. --Dhx1 (talk) 00:44, 2 April 2024 (UTC)

 Oppose The file description says it comes Prime Video AU & NZ. It does not appear on that page and there is no license review. Therefore there is no evidence of the license that was on the file.

Prime Video AU & NZ (PVAN) is probably a subsidiary of Amazon. MGM is a subsidiary of Amazon. However, there is nothing in the law that makes it automatically possible for one corporation to freely license a copyright owned by another corporation, even if both corporations are owned by the same parent corporation.

Therefore this fails for two reasons -- PVAN probably does not have the right to freely license the work and there is no evidence of the license. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 13:05, 2 April 2024 (UTC)

The licenses are not on the welcome page of the channel, but on the pages of the individual videos, in this case on the page https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GggYdiN_YQ8, licensed CC BY. However, the presence of different corporations does make this sort of licensing situation questionable. -- Asclepias (talk) 13:51, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
Now Amazon owns MGM, including the rights of MGM catalog, so the license is IMO valid. However I am quite surprised they made this bold move. Yann (talk) 19:02, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
No, MGM has the rights to freely license the catalog. Amazon, although it owns MGM, is a separate corporation and cannot license MGM's works to others unless there is an appropriate license between the two. Similarly, PVAN is not Amazon, so it would also have to have a separate written license in order to freely license MGM's works. I think it likely that this is an unauthorized action by someone at a small subsidiary company. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 14:40, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
@Jameslwoodward: Amazon shows MGM works on its Prime channel, so it certainly got the right of MGM works. Actually that was the reason for acquiring MGM in the first place. We should stop thinking that YouTube channels of big corporations are managed by students in internship or trainees. Yann (talk) 14:45, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
No, all that is required for Amazon to show MGM works on Prime is for MGM to have licensed that use. Such licenses, even from subsidiary to parent, would not generally include the right for Amazon to freely license the work to others, let alone for Amazon to allow a different subsidiary to freely license the MGM work. Although MGM is owned by Amazon, you may be sure that the people running MGM are very careful about their copyrights since their bonuses certainly depend on MGM's licensing revenue. Although Amazon owns MGM, it cannot ride roughshod over MGM or it won't have any senior staff there. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 15:16, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

Of course a flag drawing from one author is going to look like one from another, but each vectorization is going to be different.

Dear all, This picture has been deleted after I uploaded it, for copyright reasons. However, this picture cannot be deemed "original" under copyright laws, as the personnality of its author is not expressed through it - anyone could have made the same picture of this man standing still. There is no particular effect, no filter, no research of an artistic input. Thus, it seems it is not protected by copyright laws and belongs to public domain. Would it be possible to restore it please? Thank you for your help. HippoDream12 (talk) 15:58, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

 Oppose By French copyright law "The following are considered in particular as works of the mind within the meaning of this code: [...] Photographic works and those produced using techniques similar to photography" (Loi nº 94-361 du 10 mai 1994 art. 1 Journal Officiel du 11 mai 1994). Thuresson (talk) 16:15, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
Under French copyright law, in order to be protected, the work must me deemed "original". As a consequence, there must be an intellectual effort put into the work. When it comes to photographic works, it cannot be a picture taken without any effort, like this picture Alex Ramirès.png. Multiple court decisions have developped this criterion of originality (for instance: Cour de cassation, 1ère chambre civile, 10 avril 2019, nº 18-13.612 [[5]]). Even though this work is a photographic one, listed under Loi n°94-361, it must also be original in order to be protected under copyright - which is not the case. HippoDream12 (talk) 16:28, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
This is not how French copyright works. Any picture taken by a human is subject to copyright. It doesn't matter if it took 5 seconds or hours to create it. Yann (talk) 17:50, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
You may find additional information on the "threshold of originality", which is the reason why any picture taken by a human is not de facto subject to copyright, on this Wikimedia page [6]. HippoDream12 (talk) 18:50, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
 Oppose Definitely above the ToO in the US, and likely above the French ToO since this is not a booth photograph or some other perfunctory photograph that essentially eliminates creative choices. Abzeronow (talk) 18:56, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
 Oppose COM:L requires works to be either freely licensed, or in the public domain in both the country of origin and the US. First, there is no evidence that the photographer has released this photo with an acceptable license. Second, even if we assume, for the sake of argument, that this publicity photo of Alex Ramirès is below the threshold of originality in France, it certainly is above TOO in the US, so the US copyright to this photo from 2021 presumably expires 70 years after the death of the photographer. —RP88 (talk) 18:45, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
 Oppose @HippoDream12: Hi,
1. The Cassation Court ruling that you cite is not relevant for the point you are trying to make. For the following reasons:
1.A. The case is not about photographs at all. It is essentially about other elements of graphism present on the album covers. (This ruling does not restate why the photographs present on the album covers were not part of the case. I'm guessing that it may have been simply because the copyright owners of the photographs were not parties to this legal case, which was between the copyright owner of the other elements of grahism and the reuser of the album covers.)
1.B. On the elements of graphism that were actually in dispute, this Cassation Court ruling overturns the ruling of the Versailles Appeals Court that had previously ruled that the graphical arrangements of the album covers were not original. And the Cassation Court sends the case to the Paris Appeals Court. Therefore, the Cassation Court does not make your point.
2. Although indeed some works can be below a threshold of originality required for copyright in some countries, please keep in mind the following aspects:
2.A. In France, through the years, you will find court decisions going both ways about simple photographs.
2.B. Anyway, Wikimedia must comply with the law of the United States. On Commons, it is considered that, under the law of the United States, almost all photos, even very simple, can be considered original enough for copyright.
3.C. Even in the hypothesis that someone could try to make an argument that a photo might be below a threshold, it would be impossible for Commons to make interminable discussions about millions of contributions to decide if they are accepted or not on Commons. Not to mention going to court. Therefore, the practice is to stick to the principle that almost all photos are considered copyrightable, with limited exceptions.
-- Asclepias (talk) 19:32, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
Regarding 1 A it seems, if I understand correctly, that the record companies used identical graphic elements and typography when the album was rereleased. Several albums were considered by the court. In one example, identical graphics and fonts were used as in the 1961 edition of the music album but a different photo of the artist was used when the album was rereleased in the 2000s. Compare version A and version B of the record cover. Thuresson (talk) 19:47, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

The deleted text on Nikolina Brnjac's profile along with the proposed image change has been personally approved by Nikolina Brnjac herself and has been taken from the official website of the Government of the Republic of Croatia. There is absolutely no infringement of copyright here, as the text change was done in collaboration with Nikolina Brnjac, and she personally approved the use of her image, which is again publicly available on the Government of the Republic of Croatia's website. Following all that has been stated, we kindly request that the deleted text in the 'Professional Career' category, along with the proposed image change, be restored as proposed yesterday.

 Comment I guess this is about File:NIKOLINA BRNJAC.png, which was deleted by Didym as a copyvio and meanwhile re-created (!) by Radicigor1110.
 Oppose the undeletion and  Delete the re-created file. That a photo is available on a Croatian state web site does not mean that it is in the public domain or free to use (per COM:NOP Croatia), and [7] explicitly says "Copyright © 2024 Vlada Republike Hrvatske". I did not see a CC license or similar there. --Rosenzweig τ 12:04, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
"publicly available" does not mean "copyright expired" (which is what we mean by "public domain"). While it may not be infringement to host it here, site policy requires either freely-licensed or copyright-expired works only -- we call anything else a "copyvio" even if not a violation to host it here, but rather because we want works to be able used elsewhere in many contexts, and we can't promise that with a press-only type of implied permission. A photo must be explicitly licensed with a "free" copyright license (see Commons:Licensing). Additionally, because accounts are anonymous and it's easy to copy photos here, for previously-published works we typically need communication from the copyright owner over private email per the COM:VRT process, which should state the license. Files can be undeleted through that process. The other option would be to state a free license (such as Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike) on the government website where the photo can be found. The stated license tag (PD-US) on the current image is impossible; the U.S. would recognize copyright in an anonymous Croatian work for 95 years from publication (and if the photographer is named and it's not a work for hire, 70pma).

Image deleted in 2022 with the reason of "© Clifton R. Adams/National Geographic Society/Corbis/All Rights Reserved". However, that Clifton R. Adams died in 1934, so it may be in the public domain currently. 193.146.182.6 07:12, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

In the U.S., date of death is not used for the copyright term (though that does mean it's PD in most other countries). The U.S. is 95 years from publication (or 120 years from creation if that is earlier), though older works were subject to certain formalities. The question is if (and when) they were published in National Geographic Magazine. Per UPenn, National Geographic started renewing its issues from February 1929 and on. If this was published in a 1928 edition (or Jan 1929), then it would be PD-US-not_renewed and be OK. If it was published in the magazine only later, it is not OK yet. If it was part of an archive not published in the magazine but only published recently, then copyright would still exist and last a while longer. this page shows a number of other photos from that series, but does not mention if they were originally published in the magazine or not. So, we probably need more information on when this image was first published. If it is the same photo (I'm not an admin so I can't see this one) on this page from 2012, that source states the photo had just "come to light" about a year before that. If true that this was an unpublished image unearthed from National Geographic's archives in 2011, then it will become public domain in 2049 (120 years from creation). Carl Lindberg (talk) 12:49, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
 Support 1928 picture is in the public domain in USA. If the author died in 1934, it is also in the public domain in UK. The description says "RMS Mauretania in drydock November 1928, Southampton, Hampshire, England". Yann (talk) 14:28, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

 Support The Facebook image Carl cites is the same image, cropped more tightly. Therefore this is an image first published in 2012 with a known author who died in 1934. The US rule for post 2003 publication with known authors is 70 pma, so it became PD in the USA and the UK in 1/1/2005. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 14:35, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

@Jameslwoodward: The U.S. term for a work for hire is always 95 years from publication / 120 years from creation, regardless if the author is known or not, unfortunately in this case. Carl Lindberg (talk) 14:45, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
 Oppose The Facebook image Carl cites is the same image, cropped more tightly. As noted by Carl above, the fact that it was a work for hire means that it is under copyright until the earlier of 120 years after creation or 95 years after publication. The former is earlier, 1/1/2049. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 15:23, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

N'ayant pas de réponse, je vous retransmets mon message :

J'ai créé cette carte de voeux pour Parlanjhe Asteur, gratuitement.

Je l'ai modifié ensuite pour Commons W., cette version ne leur appartient pas, et si elle ressemble à leur publication, c'est normal, c'est le but.

Je vous ai déjà écrit, en anglais. Ça n'a pas marché ? Je n'en vois pas la trace.

Dites moi comment justifier tout ça... Pour remettre cette pauvre carte visible sur les articles (peu illustrés) concernant le poitevin-saintongeais.

Merci.

En attendant une réponse de votre part, Bonne journée à toutes et tous.

 Support:

  • The file was uploaded to Commons in August 2015, which was before the external webpage mentioned in the deletion, webpage created in December 2015.
  • The two images on the external webpage are signed by J.B., who is also the uploader of this file to Commons.
  • The uploader publishes some of his works on his personal website under free licenses, which is good. Although there is no real doubt about this contributor who has been contributing to Commons for more than 10 years, maybe he could send one mail to VRT to confirm his identity, which might serve if someone makes deletion requests in some other cases. But it is not required for this file, because of point 1 above.

This image is both ineligible for copyright and too old for copyright. Hence, it could be tagged with {{PD-shape}} and {{PD-EU-no author disclosure}} or similar. Moreover, it was even used as an example in Commons:Threshold of originality#Logos and flags. --Leyo 21:19, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

@Rosenzweig: It was created in 1918 in Germany by an author who could have been known at the time, therefore I don't think we can automatically say it's too old for copyright. I'll wait for others to comment on whether it is below the ToO of Germany or not. Abzeronow (talk) 21:37, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
 Support The original metal pin (try a web search for "Jungstahlhelm Anstecknadel") was a bit more intricate, but this is just a very much simplified recreation which should be well below both COM:TOO Germany as well as COM:TOO US. How much historical value such a simplified recreation has is another question though. --Rosenzweig τ 21:57, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

I'd like an admin to check this file's metadata to ensure if it contains camera info or not. This is to verify that this file was either a work from elsewhere improperly tagged as the uploader's own work or if the uploader did indeed take the photo in question. If this photo was indeed taken by the uploader, this file should be undeleted. JohnCWiesenthal (talk) 21:53, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

@JohnCWiesenthal: It does contain camera metadata. The reason given for speedy deletion was "license laundering". Abzeronow (talk) 23:32, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

This is a photo I took of the front cover of the Chinese-English dictionary I edited for the Hong Kong office of the Journal of Modernization of Chinese Education, as shown by the References of the wiki article en:YES stroke alphabetical order.

--Ctxz2323 (talk) 02:01, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

If there was copyrightable artwork on the cover, the photo would be derivative of that, and we would need permission from the copyright owner of that artwork (be that the artist or the hiring company) via the mechanism mentioned at COM:VRT. If that happens, the file would be undeleted then. I can't see it so I can't be sure, but that was the reason it was deleted, the derivative aspect (not questioning that you took the photo). Carl Lindberg (talk) 13:04, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
It's a fairly simple cover of a book. It could possibly apply Pd-simple as it's just text and the layout is not really complex or creative , but I'm not knowledgeable on Chinese copyright law, so... Bedivere (talk) 13:39, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
That sounds like it would be below the U.S. copyright threshold, then. Less sure on China. COM:TOO China has some examples; they do seem to allow novel versions of lettering/calligraphy as being copyrighted, but standard font stuff less so. The U.S. does not give a copyright to typographical layout... ah, but China does to an extent. (Article 36) A publisher has the right to license or prohibit any other person to use the typographical arrangement of books or periodicals he has published. The term of protection for the right provided for in the preceding paragraph shall be ten years. That may be scoped to other publications using the same layout, not photos of the original though -- not sure that counts as a "use". If it's close, not sure it should have been speedied. Carl Lindberg (talk) 14:09, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

Buenas administradores, necesito que restaure la foto (boletín electoral) porque esta en el Dominio Público {{PD-VenezuelaGov}} porque el CNE (poder electoral,forma parte del sector público) fue el quien creó los boletines electorales para las elecciones en Venezuela y otra cosa los Logos de los partidos políticos son muy pequeños y de minimis según el Usuario:Taivo en el Deletion Request (Commons:Deletion requests/File:Boleta electoral Sotillo Municipales 2018.jpg) dijo en inglés:"Logos are very small and de minimis".AbchyZa22 (talk) 12:08, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

 Oppose al contrario del otro archivo, en esta boleta los logotipos son más prominentes y no sé si califica para de mínimis. Cómo sugerí, podrían borrarse Bedivere (talk) 13:39, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
@Bedivere:Ok,habla con el Usuario Taivo para saber si esta foto forma parte del de minimis?? AbchyZa22 (talk) 13:56, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
Por favor no etiquetes a otros usuarios sin necesidad. Aquí participan activamente diversos usuarios. Bedivere (talk) 13:58, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
 Oppose The test of de minimis is if the offending piece can be removed without an ordinary observer noticing the difference. If all of the logos were removed, there would be nothing left here. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 13:54, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

But the user Taivo says in DR says:"Logos are very small and de minimis". AbchyZa22 (talk) 13:59, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

In cases like this, when the whole image is small copyrighted works, none of them can be de minimis. As I said above, in order to prove de minimis you must show that the copyrighted work can be removed without an ordinary viewer noticing the change. Obviously if you removed all the copyrighted works here, anyone would notice because there would be nothing left. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 14:12, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

As I corrected after deletion request, all these files are published on https://abs.lias.be/query/detail.aspx?ID=911214 at the archival storage. Free use, no permission needed and public accessibility.I think no reason for deletion. Ouwejokke (talk) 22:54, 7 March 2024 (UTC)

@Ouwejokke: Current information about the image seems unclear to me: according to Wikidata the author died in 1941, but the work was created in 1955. Also, the permission (if indeed granted by the actual copyright holder - we may need to verify this) is not CC0 as declared. If this is a site-specific license, the appropriate template needs to be created and accepted by the community in COM:VPC discussion. Ankry (talk) 11:11, 9 March 2024 (UTC)
 Oppose I don't see a free license of any kind at [8]. It's an archival web site, they say that the file in question is public and that no permission is required for "usage" (or "gebruik" in Dutch). As I interpret it, you don't need a permission to access and read the file (or "use" it, "gebruiken", in archive speak), which is not surprising because you can use only the digital copy in PDF form ("Enkel digitale kopie consulteerbaar"). I don't see any permission to re-publish etc. those materials there, which is the kind of permission Wikimedia Commons wants. --Rosenzweig τ 22:11, 12 April 2024 (UTC)

Please restore the following pages:

Reason: This picture of former MP of Georgia, Mariam Jashi was a work of Parliament of Georgia (Public Relations and Information Department). The photo was in a free circulation across Georgian web and media, including Parliament of Georgia website. The Georgian Parliament does not have protective rights on this file and to any photo materials at all, unless it is watermarked. And as I indicated in my explanation all legal aspects regarding the photo were protected and the final deletion of the file by Jameslwoodward was incurred without further investigation, which is very disappointing. The user "Emperor of Emperors" who nominated the deletion, spams the deletion process of the photo materials of Georgian politicians on Wikimedia Commons. This is a mistake and instead of wordless deletion, an additional edit suggestions should have been recommended for the uploader in case it was needed. Crazy users like these poison Wiki and make the platform very subjective beyond the line. Sakweb (talk) 18:14, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

 Oppose Ad hominen attacks are unwelcome here; continuing them will get you blocked. You say without any basis in fact, "the final deletion of the file by Jameslwoodward was incurred without further investigation, which is very disappointing." All the further investigation that was required was to go to the source, where I found a clear and explicit copyright notice "© 2019 საქართველოს პარლამენტი".

Please remember that all media is copyrighted and may not be kept on Commons unless (a) the copyright has expired, (b) the file is PD for some other reason -- too simple, made by a US Federal Employee, etc, or (c) is explicitly freely licensed.

Images of Stadio Artemio Franchi

Hi everyone. I'm writing here to ask for the undeletion of File:ArtemioFranchiwiki2.jpg, File:ArtemioFranchiwiki3.jpg, File:Entrata artemio franchi.JPG, File:Stadio artemio franchi (esterno).JPG, all deleted in this DR in 2013. The depicted monument is en:Stadio Artemio Franchi, built between 1930 and 1931 and designed by en:Pier Luigi Nervi. As we can read here, the stadium was commissioned and paid by the Municipality of Florence. Therefore it fell under Template:PD-ItalyGov in 1952. The vast majority of the building was built before 1990 so it has no issue with US copyright. The only thing that was built in 1990 are the lowest part of the terraces (the green ones here), built by excavating the pitch. I don't know if they are visible in the aforementioned photos, but anyway I don't think that they are original enough to be above the high italian ToO. And letting aside that, the works of 1990 were commissioned by the Municipality of Florence too and even if there was a copyright, this expired therefore in 2010. The only thing that could be relevant could be the US copyright, but AFAIK the current consensus on commons is that the US law in these cases would give to foreign architects on foreign works the same rights that it gives to US architects on US works, and therefore US FOP should be appliable here. The warning in the category should be removed accordingly.--Friniate (talk) 18:52, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

Hello,

The original file I uploaded was a first version, which required the artist's signature for the rights. I visited the artist, and we agreed to upload a different version of her artwork instead, one that I photographed in her atelier. Following the guidelines, I have sent an email to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org with an attached file containing the necessary permission for this artwork. However, the file was deleted before my email could be processed. I sent the email on April 10, 2024, at 23:23 European time. Could you please advise me on the next steps? I want to ensure that the email met all requirements as per the instructions on Wikipedia. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by AnnaMarieDvorakova (talk • contribs) 22:14, 11 April 2024‎ (UTC)

 Oppose An email from you will not be accepted. We have seen too many forged permissions, so the license must come directly from the artist.

--MGPetch (talk) 14:23, 15 April 2024 (UTC)

@MGPetch: :
  1. At upload you declared that you are the author of the photo (photographer). This is not the same as I am personally in a position to use images of this nature and providing false or inacurate information is serious violation of Wikimedia Commons policies.
  2. Being in a position to use images is not the same as authorized to grant a license for them. License is a contract signed by the copyright holder ir their official representative.
  3. Per our policy, for any image that has already been published without evidence of free license we require a written free license permission via email. See VRT for details. Ankry (talk) 14:40, 15 April 2024 (UTC)

Reason: The files were deleted because they were uploaded by an abusive account, but they all are PD images, so I guess we can keep it here. Sreejith K (talk) 02:06, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

 Info Being free is not enough to host an image here. As we do not want to support abusers, the images may be undeleted if you need to use them in a specific article. Please, point out the article. Ankry (talk) 05:11, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
 Support undeletion. There has been consensus that having been uploaded by a blocked user who is abusing multiple accounts is per se not a valid reason for deletion if the images are out of copyright. Unfortunately hundreds of images have gone down the drain this way. --Achim55 (talk) 10:02, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
 Oppose Achim55 , you are not one of us who has to fight serial abusers. I strongly oppose giving them any encouragement.

(Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 13:02, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
I think some people are not aware that we've had a RfC 4 years ago. As already said, deleting an image that would be kept if someone else had loaded it up is IMO nonsense. To demonstrate: See File:Réception des chevaliers du Saint-Esprit dans la cathédrale de Reims.jpg and File:Porträt von Erzherzog Ernest von Habsburg.png. In addition, I'd like to point to the punitive/preventive thing. What is prevented by such deletions? Nothing, there's just a little hope the user might give up. --Achim55 (talk) 13:30, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

No clue why this discussion is here and not on my talk page. The files can be undeleted if the undeleting admin as self verified evidence that the files are in the PD, without trusting any statement the uploader made, as the uploader is known to forge everything. Krd 05:44, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

 Oppose First, while this is a newsworthy event, we do not generally keep newspaper articles about such events. WP articles may quote from newspapers, but this PDF is probably out of scope.

The file was marked for COM:SPEEDY deletion by Seawolf35 (talk · contribs) under the pretext that it wasn't a COM:CC licensed YouTube video. That's patently false; the video, uploaded by Sonali A, clearly has a Creative Commons license in the description ([13]). Furthermore, it was deleted by Wutsje (talk · contribs) for supposedly violating COM:F3, which in my opinion doesn't apply under COM:DEMINIMIS. I doubt that American courts would entertain the idea that someone who was requested to record a >two second clip for a known content creator, primarily featuring said content creator, at an event for content creators, and as such a clip that would have been known to be likely to be used in said content creators' social media, meant that in spite of the rest of the video being freely-licensed, this clip was a NFC for Sonali technically not being the author, per the de minimis test used by US courts. Plus we host files from Nickelodeon and MTV that almost certainly have a stricter copyright understanding between the company and videographers/social media managers than between Sonali and whoever recorded said short clip.

Request by Mykhailo Hoy

(posted a similar request shortly and forgot the notifications, sorry)

For the File: Гой Володимир Михайлович.jpg, this is indeed an old picture from a black and white album, the photographer would be my deceased mother, so the copyright should be transferred to me. For the pictures of the buildings, these are photos by me, and since the architect is my deceased grandfather, the copyright is transferred to my family and is thus not infringed. File:Південна трибуна Тернопільського міського стадіону.jpg is not a copy from an old print but actually a photo taken by an older camera. The buses may be confusing, but some of them do look like this in Ternopil. Could I give a FAL license to the photos by me?

This file was wrongly determined by the closing admin (Jameslwoodward) to be copyrighted. The mentioned restrictions do not appear to be copyright-related: rather they are restrictions meant to prevent official government symbols meant to be misused. This is why the tag {{Insignia}} exists, because such restrictions may be similar to those covered by copyright to inexperienced users. See also Commons:Deletion requests/File:State Seal of Arizona.svg, which kept another version. funplussmart (talk) 21:20, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

 Question But which copyright template applies here? This seal is not "legislative enactments, judicial decisions, administrative rulings, public ordinances, or similar types of official legal materials" as in {{PD-EdictGov}} which applies rather to textual legal documents, not to seals. Ankry (talk) 22:19, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
As far as I can tell, a state seal is usually defined by a state law, which means that creating a rendition based purely from the description in that state law would be a derivative work of a description that is ineligible for copyright. However, that rendition would carry its own copyright owned by whoever made it. funplussmart (talk) 00:41, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
@Clindberg, Yann, Infrogmation, and IronGargoyle: , who commented on the DR. funplussmart (talk) 00:44, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
A drawing made from a description is not a derivative work. They are different expressions of the same idea and have independent copyrights. For a seal drawing, the question is who drew it. The other DR was for a drawing made by the US federal government, so it was actually PD-USGov. If you drew the SVG yourself based on a description, it should be whatever license you give it. If it was taken from a website, then it may have a copyright. If you drew it but traced an existing drawing, then that is a derivative work of the other drawing. PD-EdictGov only applies if the drawing is part of the law itself. The DR reason at Commons:Deletion requests/File:Arizona state seal.svg (the insignia law) is definitely a bad deletion reason -- those are trademark-like non-copyright restrictions. The state does not own any copyright over a third-party drawing, so the admin's deletion reason also makes no sense -- the state cannot create its own copyright law. So the question is where did that drawing come from. It was claimed own work on upload given the upload log, but I can't see it. If it appears to be a user-made drawing then  Support, but if copied or derived from a copyrighted version elsewhere, then it could be different. Carl Lindberg (talk) 01:15, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

It was almost 2 months not 2 days since its upload, and no tags has ever asked for verifying license. Please check again. 6eeWikiUser (talk) 03:25, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
2 days after the upload the bot attempted to verify the license. But the file was no longer available on Flickr. IMO, we can suspect that this is either due to copyvio, or the uploader requested deletion of their own file within 7 days as our policy states. Ankry (talk) 22:50, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
Apologies I did not receive any notification to verify the license, but it is available on Flickr through this link . 6eeWikiUser (talk) 06:28, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
Indeed, strange. Maybe temporary problem with Flickr.  Support undeletion. Noting only that the license on Flickr is different to the one declared by the uploader. Ankry (talk) 08:10, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
Thank you. 6eeWikiUser (talk) 19:08, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

✓ Done: as per Ankry. But I doubt the license on Flickr is valid. Probably license washing, so DRed. --Yann (talk) 09:09, 25 April 2024 (UTC)

The image was a screenshot of a public domain TV show which I screenshotted personally. — Preceding unsigned comment added by WatchYoNacho (talk • contribs) 21:38, 22 April 2024‎ (UTC)

If the TV show is public domain, why do you claim to own the copyright? Thuresson (talk) 22:28, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
That is my mistake, I missed that when uploading. WatchYoNacho (talk) 23:16, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

I want to restore this file because I have its license. 6eeWikiUser (talk) 17:53, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

@6eeWikiUser: Does the license state that you are the author (photographer) who made this photo? If not, your upload is blatant copyright violation. Ankry (talk) 22:34, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
The license state that I am the holder of the copyright. 6eeWikiUser (talk) 06:20, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

Images of Stadio dei Marmi and Foro Italico

Hello everyone, I'm writing here to request the undeletion of the following images: File:Accademia dallo Stadio dei Marmi.JPG, File:AccademiadellaFarnesinaLatoStadiodeiMarmi.JPG, File:Foro Italico - Olimpico Stadio dei marmi e Farnesina 1000708.JPG, File:Foro Italico Statua Lato Tevere.JPG, File:ForoItAt1.jpg, File:ForoItAt2.jpg, File:ForoItChild.jpg, File:Roma-foroitalico.jpg, File:Roma-foroitalico10.jpg, File:Roma-foroitalico3.jpg, File:Roma-foroitalico8.jpg, File:Roma-fotoitalico.jpg, File:Roma-fotoitalico2.jpg, File:Stadio dei marmi 001.jpg, File:Stadio dei Marmi.JPG, all deleted after this DR in 2013; File:Stadio dei marmi 002.jpg, File:Stadio dei marmi 003.jpg, File:Stadio dei marmi 004.jpg, File:Stadio dei marmi 005.jpg, File:Stadio dei marmi 006.jpg, File:Stadio dei marmi 007.jpg, File:Stadio dei marmi 008.jpg, File:Stadio dei marmi 009.jpg, File:Stadio dei marmi 010.jpg, File:Stadio dei marmi-pano-1.jpg, File:Stadio dei marmi-pano-2.jpg, File:Stadio dei marmi-pano-3.jpg, all deleted after this DR in the same year; Image:Gladiator Statue.jpg, deleted after this DR in 2008; Image:Hercules Rome.jpg, deleted too after this DR in 2008.

These images depict all the en:Foro Italico and the en:Stadio dei Marmi within it. They were both commissioned by the en:Opera Nazionale Balilla, the fascist organization for children and youngsters (see here), to en:Enrico Del Debbio, who at that time was leading architect of the technical department of the organization (see here). The italian law considers the defunct fascist organizations as if they were italian public administrations for what regards copyright (see here articles 11 and 29) and therefore these monuments fall under Template:PD-ItalyGov since 1952. They are buildings built way before 1990, so no issue with US copyright. The two warnings in the categories should be removed accordingly.--Friniate (talk) 22:39, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

This file from en.wikipedia was transferred to Commons on 31 August 2023 and was deleted the same day without discussion. From the evidence available, it is a U.S. photo, taken on 17 January 1968, distributed by UPI, first published in the U.S. on 21 January 1968. According to the publication information at en.wikipedia, it was published without a copyright notice. Assuming that is correct, it seems that would make it PD-US-no-notice for Commons. Apparently the file was deleted from Commons under the mistaken impression that the country of origin was determined by the place depicted on the image (Vietnam), when in fact the country of origin is determined by the place of publication (U.S.). (Not only there is evidence that the photo was published in the U.S. no later than four days after it was taken, but there is no evidence that the photo was even published in Vietnam at all at the time.) -- Asclepias (talk) 17:03, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

 Oppose I see no evidence that it was published in the USA without notice. UPI required that any use of its images had notice. The Washington Post is mentioned in the upload summary. The Post certainly had a copyright notice on the masthead in every edition. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 21:19, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

  • "...no evidence that it was published... without notice": Well, the evidence provided by the uploader on en.wikipedia is a list of six U.S. newspapers, with links to their respective archives at newspapers.com. If someone has a subscription to that website, they could check if the facts are verified.
  • "The Post certainly had a copyright notice": The rationale of the uploader on en.wikipedia is that it was published in many newspapers without notice and that the publications without notice have the effect of placing it in the public domain even if there are also publications with notice, not that one publication or even several publications with notice are sufficient to avoid the public domain when there are multiple simultaneous publications without notice. Does that sound correct in principle?
  • "UPI required that any use of its images had notice.":

Es ist nicht nachvollziehbar, weshalb die Datei gelöscht worden ist. Sie war explizit als eigenes Werk ausgewiesen. Anana Sanana (talk) 04:25, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

@Anana Sanana: Quelle und Urheber waren als Oliver Kloss angegeben, hochgeladen hat die Datei aber Anana Sanana. Sofern es keine gegenteiligen Hinweise gibt (und die gab es einer kurzen Prüfung nach anscheinend weder in der Dateibeschreibung noch auf der Benutzerseite), gehen wir davon aus, dass das zwei verschiedene Personen sind. Damit wäre es eben kein eigenes Werk. Deshalb wurde ein Baustein gesetzt (samt Benachrichtigung auf der Benutzerdiskussionsseite), der dazu aufforderte, innerhalb einer Woche per E-Mail eine Genehmigung für die Datei zu schicken. Nachdem das nicht geschehen ist, wurde die Datei nach einer Woche gelöscht. --Rosenzweig τ 16:02, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

Am besten durch eine E-Mail ans COM:VRT/de. Wenn die das akzeptieren, können sie auch eine Wiederherstellung der Datei veranlassen. Für zukünftige Dateien am besten gleich beim Hochladen darauf hinweisen, dass A = B ist. --Rosenzweig τ 09:32, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
