Image:Image:Cnt_fai.jpg[edit]

Lund, Sweden nov. 20, 2006 Undeletion request. The picture Image:Cnt fai.jpg was deleted soon after I used it in a Swedish Wiki article on the Spanish Civil War. I really need this picture; it is a CNT-FAI poster, unique information on this issue. Please, undelete it as soon as possible! Thanks!

Staffan Jacobson —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 83.254.132.6 (talk • contribs) at 03:34, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

The image was deleted because there was insufficient source information to justify its claim of being public domain. It can be undeleted if you can provide new information proving that it is in fact in the public domain. —Angr 16:11, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Emblems[edit]

Temporary undeletion

These images were used on sv.wikipedia and depict emblems. Emblems are allowed under fair use on sv.wikipedia sv:Mall:Emblem. A temporary undelete would allow the image to be locally uploaded. Thanks /Lokal_Profil 22:53, 21 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Done; uploaded as sv:Image:Northern Ireland coat of arms.png, sv:Image:Wappen Buckinghamshire.jpg, and sv:Image:Scottish royal coat of arms.png. Alphax (talk) 07:20, 23 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image:Ldlc affiche metro jnl.jpg[edit]

This image shows a poster on a wall. The poster has an owner and a designer (it's an advertizing) so it is copyrighted. But the picture is not the poster, but a picture of a poster "in situtation". I think the deletion has be done a little bit too quick and I'll had appreciated some discussions about it, because I'm not sure this is an obvious case. I perfectly understand the need for caution about copyrights and maybe everybody will say that the image had to be deleted. But I also think that Commons contributors deserve information and discussion when their stuff comes to be deleted - but that's another problem. Jean-no 11:19, 25 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The picture's only purpose is to present the poster, so it would be a derative work. Furthermore, France does not have "Freedom of Panorama". --Matt314 12:02, 25 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not sure of what you mean there, but therefore, should all that be deleted : Category:Advertising ? Jean-no
Yes. There are exeption of those images that are PD-old like Image:Fleischextrakt 0002773 m.jpg, or taken with regard to Freedom of Panorama like Image:Coca Cola fcm.jpg --Matt314 14:39, 25 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I had an argument with Jean-no about this image. It is clear that I do not know all the details about French copyright law, and that Jean-no, being an administrator on Fr.Wiki, should be both competent and act with the best intention.

I would like to have an expert on French copyright law to comment on this, to see if they agree with our decision or not. As a consqeunce, I think it would be fair to restore the image for now, so that anyone can look at it.

Fred Chess 01:26, 26 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know if french law matters on Commons. I'm an admin, and therefore I care a little about copyright problems, and I don't use Commons for anything but bringing images to the wikimedia projects. But I'm not a copyright specialist. My problem about the deletion is not to save an image (I don't care a lot about it even if it was used), but just that I don't think that a discussion was a waste of time, as this doesn't seem to me a so easy case : see upper, what about all Category:Advertising ? Jean-no
Concerning Category:Advertising--
I think that Image:Times square at night.jpg since there's no specific violation of copyrights.
Some of the image are OK because they are permantely installed outdoors, such as Image:Coca Cola fcm.jpg.
I guess it would be difficult to depict how outdoors advertising looks if you can't show the poster itself. For that reason, Image:Utomhusreklam i Lund.jpg should be OK, I think.
Copyright lawd don't care about that I think : something is here permanently ? Yes, but it still exists an owner. Same with buildings. Jean-no 03:24, 27 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
What matters is probably how the image can be used. An image such as Image:I am faster than wap.jpg is probably not ok, because it isn't used in an article about subway avertising, but on en:I-mode.
In what article was Image:Ldlc affiche metro jnl.jpg used? Can the image really be used to display advertising in the French Metro when it shows 90% poster?
That was also the reason why it was speedy deleted. No-one thought it could depict Metro advertising. You have to convince us that it can.
Fred Chess 12:21, 26 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
It was in an article about the society LDLC, a quite big computer seller. Jean-no 03:24, 27 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
"Used in..." sounds a little bit like fair use. You have to keep in mind that Commons is an image repository that also exists without Wikipedia, so all images must be able to use without the context of an article, as well. --Matt314 09:28, 27 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not a Commons user, I'm mostly a Wikipedia contributor (who has been told one day that Commons was a better place to upload images as they are available for any wikimedia project), and it's usually because I have a picture that fits an article or can be related to (when the article links to a Commons category for instance) that I have the idea to put in on commons. I guess those images can have an other life through commons, they are not stucked, that's the point, but this is not my problem either as much as the picture's origin and legend are clear. No ? Jean-no

I'm strongly opposed to Commons hosting such images that tends to be kept after a it's-like-fair-use-but-let's-call-it-derivative decision. Commons policy, you know... Meanos 17:06, 5 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I was on a break from Wikipedia, partly because of lacking motivation, but partly of necessity (problem with internet). I had hoped someone would have dealt with this during my absense. Of course, this case isn't resolved yet -- that would be a ridiculous conclusion. I will nominate the image for normal deletion, and see what happens. I don't think it is urgent to speedy delete the image. / Fred Chess 17:58, 18 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image:Nff-finnmarkdb-faksimile.jpg[edit]

Image deleted on false premises ("only used in deleted vanity article on no.wikipedia")? The article using it still exists at no:Norsk_Freakforum#_note-1. Maybe it's a copyright violation? Nsaa 00:12, 29 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The original upload summary is Faksimile fra "Finnmark Dagblad" for bruk i http://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norsk_Freakforum.; the image looks like a newspaper article with a screenshot of "Norsk FreakForum". Alphax (talk) 13:06, 8 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

File:Due Sicilie - 12 carlini 1810.jpg[edit]

The above image depicted a coin from 1810, then surely an image of it must be a derivative work. The image was deleted (Commons:Deletion requests/Image:Due Sicilie - 12 carlini 1810.jpg) since the source webpage claimed copyright to the image, but if the image is a derivatie work then the webpage cannot claim any such copyright. Since the coin is from 1810 it can safely be assumed PD-old. /Lokal_Profil 20:46, 6 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Technically, {{PD-Art}} (reproductions of PD-old items) only applies to 2D objects. So a photo of a coin is not a reproduction and there is also a copyright on the photo. / Fred Chess 17:50, 10 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image:Ganimede - Como - Museo Giovio - ara romana - sec. I dC.jpg[edit]

Before deleting a picture, could you please drop a warning note to the uploader? I upload scores of images, and it happens me to forget to add the CC license. Had you asked me, I would have done it within seconds. This picture was created by me. Could you kindly undelete it? I shall add the appropriate license. Love. --G.dallorto 21:07, 17 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I undeleted it. The license is OK, the source is missing (please add a sentence that explicitly says something like "I (User:G.dallorto) took this photo"). --pfctdayelise (说什么?) 04:41, 18 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image:Bj brasao.jpg and Image:Bras Olindina.jpg[edit]

Sorry, I see it only today at CommonsTicker of Portuguese Wikipedia. This is a {{PD-BrazilGov}} and don't require any source information. Lugusto • ҉ 23:10, 18 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Commons still requires a source. Alphax (talk) 22:38, 19 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
But these images are released in public domain directly by the brazilian law (and some sites claims copyright proprierty for objects in public domain, like I have stated at Commons talk:Licensing#Is the source required for a PD document ?). I understand the policy, but a source of origin in this case don't help to define the copyright. Lugusto • ҉ 01:35, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Released by who, or what law? How do we know it applies to these items? Where is it written down? That is what we need for "source". pfctdayelise (说什么?) 04:44, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
According to the text mentioned in {{PD-BrazilGov}}, avaiable in [1] (original in Portuguese language) and in [2] (translated to English language): Article 124: The following are not registrable as marks: I. official, public, national, foreign or international escutcheons, coats of arms, medals, flags, emblems, badges and monuments, as well as the respective designations, figures, or imitations.
In anothers words, all brazilian flags and coats of arms can be drawn be anyone, but no one can reclaim copyright for these images.
Is necessary to give the source to prove these images as brazilian flags and coat of arms? If yes, a clear note on the image page is necessary to be writen, explaining some like this is a bibliographic reference, claims of copyright made by this site or anyone else don't apply for this image.
Lugusto • ҉ 16:02, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
IANAL and this subject is a quite complicated... I'm asking for help on this to anothers users from Portuguese Wikipedia. If I find a good rationale in how to deal with this I request for undelete again. Lugusto • ҉ 17:17, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image:AzzE som liten.JPG[edit]

The image was deleted with only "unusable" as the comment. I can't view the Image but I'm quite sure the image is the picture of a the wikipedia user sv:Användare:AzzE since he used it on his userpage. Although the usefullness of user images can be discussed this is hardly the only one on Commons. /Lokal_Profil 18:46, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've restored it although the user hadn't licensed it. I've put the no license tag on it. Please make sure the user licenses it correctly (and adds it to the Category:Wikipedians as well! Cary "Bastiq▼e" Bass demandez 02:20, 21 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This is a picture taken during the , which happened between 1936 and 1939.

  • According to the present Spanish Law, the Intellectual Property Rights of the authors of simple photographs will last for 25 years starting from the 1st of January of the year after the photograph or reporduction has been taken.
    • "Simple photographs" are those which represent reality as it is without any creative or intellectual effort.

I don't know much about Spanish copyright laws but this picture would be definitly not in the public domain in Germany because there this would be not considered a "simple photograph" but a "photographic work". --Matt314 11:57, 25 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Well, it was published first in Spain. You can't claim some work that was released to public domain in one country to not be public in another where there's no owner of copyright. Following your argument, it would be unlawful to freely use NASA pictures in Germany, because there's no law in Germany explicitly making them public domain.
