Hello,

I am requesting my image: For Which WE Stand (One Queer Music Nation in The Visible).jpg be undeleted.

This is a cover story for Pink Magazine's 2014 Winter Issue. I am updating the cover for Pink (LGBT magazine). It was obtained from the official website. This image is fair use because it is low-resolution.

Owning a paper or digital copy of an image does not make you the owner of the copyright -- that is owned by the photographer or his heirs. Although it is not impossible that you were the photographer more than 75 years ago, it is unlikely. Since you claimed that you were the photographer, and now have changed your story, we are naturally skeptical, so a full explanation of why you think you own the copyright for this image will be necessary. .     Jim . . . .

File:Spirit littlenorway cc0.jpg

This file is licensed CC0 at Europeana [1], the license is right below the thumbnail to the left on the page. It is a bit unclear which resolution this license apply to, but that is an issue for discussions between Europeana, Norvegiana and Digital Museum. The rights (licenses) Europeana is using has been added at Norvegiana, and Norvegiana adds rights (licenses) according to permissions given by DigitalMuseum and the museums delivering content through that portal. I can initiate a discussion internally how we can make the rights (licenses) easier to interpret, but for now it is pretty safe to assume that this image is CC0 – at least until further notice.

Europeana is a meta data aggregator project for the European Union, focusing on GLAM content, while Norvegiana is a meta data aggregator for Norway operated by Arts Council Norway. I work for the later one. Jeblad (talk) 20:23, 30 April 2014 (UTC)

File:Royal Standard of Sweden (1844–1905).svg

Was deleted as a copyright violation, however that is incorrect. Besides the obvious age of the image, this flag uses the same coat of arms as File:Royal Standard of Norway (1844-1905).svg which is File:Coat of Arms of the Union between Sweden and Norway.svg and is not a copyright violation. Fry1989 eh? 20:31, 30 April 2014 (UTC)

It is also known as "Sildesalaten". I can't say anything about the accuracy of the rendering, but given who wrote most of the article in nowiki (w:no:Unionsmerket, w:en:Union mark of Norway and Sweden) I find it likely that the rendering is accurate enough. In essence, the original is old enough. Jeblad (talk) 20:41, 30 April 2014 (UTC)
The issue was not the flag itself but rather the coat of arms. The coat of arms is free, and if there is a problem with any element it would have been more prudent to change that element than to delete the whole thing. Fry1989 eh? 00:10, 1 May 2014 (UTC)

This is a request for undeletion of .

I am the holder/owner of this item.

It is NOT an internet download.

I find the fact that it was deleted without a minimum of 24-hours to respond unprofessional and distasteful.

This is an unprotected, uncopyrighted image manufactured before 1989. It was "enhanced" by the addition of the signature/autograph of the celebrity depicted. As a one and only "original" by the addition of said autograph, its further duplicated use was copyrighted in 2014 as a "work of art".

As an item issued prior to 1989, I might remind you that:

Copyright Notice Before March 1, 1989, the use of a copyright notice was mandatory on all published works, and any work first published before that date should have carried a notice.

United States[edit] Public domain[edit]


Publicity photo of Nanette Fabray in 1950 As explained by film production manager Eve Light Honthaner,[10] publicity photos taken to promote a film actor or other celebrity were not usually copyrighted prior to 1989, and were intended to remain free for publications to use wherever possible:

"Publicity photos (star headshots) have traditionally not been copyrighted. Since they are disseminated to the public, they are generally considered public domain, and therefore clearance by the studio that produced them is not necessary...."[11] Honathaner distinguishes "Publicity Photos (star headshots)" from "Production Stills (photos taken on the set of the film or TV show during the shooting)", noting that production stills "must be cleared with the studio".[11] Creative Clearance offers the same text as Honathaner, but adds that newer publicity stills may contain a copyright.[12]

In 2007, media lawyer Nancy Wolff,[13] wrote with respect to the "photo archive of entertainment industry publicity pictures, historic still images widely distributed by the studios to advertise and promote their then new releases":

It has been assumed that these images are most likely in the public domain or owned by studios that freely distributed the images without any expectation of compensation. Archives will lend these images for a fee to publishers and producers of documentaries for 'editorial' uses, in keeping with the original intent to publicize the movie or promote the actor. Seeing these images in print years later, some photographers, or their heirs, attempt to assert rights that most believed to be extinguished or abandoned.[14]

As a result, she indicates:

There is a vast body of photographs, including but not limited to publicity stills, that have no notice as to who may have created them.... Without knowing where the photos came from, or what long lost parent may appear and claim the 'orphaned work,' licensing the work becomes risky business. For publishers, museums, and other archives that are risk-averse, this leads to a large body of works that will never be published.[14]

Film historian Gerald Mast[15] explains how the new 1989 copyright revisions only protected publicity works that complied with all earlier requirements in addition to filing a copyright registration within 5 years of first publication:

According to the old copyright act, such production stills were not automatically copyrighted as part of the film and required separate copyrights as photographic stills. The new copyright act similarly excludes the production still from automatic copyright but gives the film's copyright owner a five-year period in which to copyright the stills. Most studios have never bothered to copyright these stills because they were happy to see them pass into the public domain, to be used by as many people in as many publications as possible."[16]

In the 2011 Eighth Circuit case Warner Bros. Entertainment v. X One X Productions, the court recognized that a selection of publicity stills from two 1939 films were in the public domain because they had not been published with the required notice, or because their copyrights had not been renewed. Although Warner Bros. argued otherwise, the court found that these stills did not share the films' valid copyrights, and that the images' dissemination constituted general publication without notice. Other arguments related to derivative uses of the images were upheld, and an injunction against X One X was granted because certain "products combining extracts from the public domain materials in a new arrangement infringe the copyright in the corresponding film". The decision quoted from Nimmer on Copyright, which explains that, while films were generally registered for copyright protection, "much less care was typically exercised during production and in the publicity office" with photographs taken of the actors on set being "sent off to newspapers before the film’s release, in order to generate a buzz about its opening."[17][18]

Fair use[edit] Kristin Thompson, committee chair of the Society for Cinema and Media Studies writes in the conclusion of a 1993 conference with cinema scholars and editors, that they "expressed the opinion that it is not necessary for authors to request permission to reproduce frame enlargements. . . [and] some trade presses that publish educational and scholarly film books also take the position that permission is not necessary for reproducing frame enlargements and publicity photographs."[19]

Thompson also notes that even if such images are not already public domain, they could be considered "fair use" under its guidelines:

"Most frame enlargements are reproduced in books that clearly fall into the first provision's categories of "teaching," "criticism," "scholarship," or "research," and hence there seems little doubt that such illustrations would qualify as fair use by this criterion. Since most university presses are nonprofit institutions, illustrations in their books and journals would be more likely to fall into the fair-use category than would publications by more commercial presses."[19] In addition, Thompson refers to the argument that the burden of proof of copyright for such publicity images would fall on the studios producing them:

"One important argument has been made concerning the publication of publicity photographs. If such a photograph has been circulated for publication at some point and reproduced without a copyright notice accompanying it, it should then fall within the public domain. Throughout the history of the cinema, many publicity photos have appeared in newspapers and magazines without such notices. If a scholar or educator were to publish a publicity photo, the burden of proof would then fall on the studio or distributor to prove that the still had never been published without the copyright notice."[19][old info]

SOURCE: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Film_still

Under British law, the appearance of signatures (not the names themselves) may be protected under copyright law.[5]

SOURCE: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signature#Copyright

Consequently, I argue that this image, now copyrighted by me, was removed both prematurely and unnecessarily.

Whether you believe my copyright is legitimate is irrelevant for 2 reasons as:

a.) the only one that can challenge a copyright is one claiming the copyright.

b.) by the very definition of the 1989 copyright revision, if the item does not display the then required copyright notice it remains "public domain".

A copy of the United States copyright can be requested, in writing, from: Administrator, Post Office Box 71, Nanticoke, Pennsylvania 18634.

Reason: According to Commons:Deletion policy#Duplicates, a duplicate file must be the same file format. A file that is not falls under the category of redundant, which means it is to go through the proper deletion request process. Trlkly (talk) 05:40, 1 May 2014 (UTC)

  • Comment by nominator: This may just seem to be a procedural nitpick, but I think this is quite important, as the uploader is a prolific contributor to Wikimedia Commons, and is afraid to upload even necessary JPEG thumbnails because they might be deleted without discussion. TIFFs have limitations here that other filetypes do not, and we often need JPEG versions just to get the files to display at all.
I also don't think this is the place to talk about changing the policy. I do agree that we need to revisit needing a full deletion request for near-duplicates, but that's a discussion for later. Right now, we need to stick with what the policy says. And what it says is that redundant files of different filetypes get a full deletion discussion. Trlkly (talk) 05:44, 1 May 2014 (UTC)

Files uploaded by Amararshad

Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Amararshad was closed while I was making the case to keep 2 of the listed files. This was unreasonably swift, one hour after the DR was filed. Please undelete to allow for discussion. Quick trigger fingers surely can find better targets than these argably usable photos — for example: this very week I found and filed DRs for two blank images (Commons:Deletion requests/File:Test020.pdf and Commons:Deletion requests/File:WWC Logo 6 21 12.JPG); these two DRs are still pending… -- Tuválkin ✉ 02:56, 9 May 2014 (UTC)

Not an accusation, but a statement of fact: You decided to go ahead and close the DR after one hour, while it is usually expected a wait for feedback and discussion for one week (=168 h).

Template:pt-br

This template was deleted and thousands of files were altered (I quote): "per consensus at Commons:Deletion requests/Template:Pt-br". This "consensus", albeit formally correct, had the participation of two users, one of them the proponent. The other left a question, but did not came back to share his opinion after it was answered. No one from the Portuguese speaking community knew about this, none of the Portuguese speaking sysops was even contacted to weigh in their opinions and our "Village pump" was never notified. Again, everything strictly speaking "within the rules". After that, @Fastily: , the user who actually closed it, deleted the template and used a script to modify thousands of files (upwards of two thousand of them, files I donated and watch). When I [https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AFastily&diff=122948261&oldid=122885429 asked him about the deletion and the way it was done, he was very rude with this answer: quoting the law against its spirit, he dismissed the issue harshly and went on to criticize the way I work and about how many pages I watch and the number of "spam" he saw in my page, finishing with a very childish "lol". I was appalled with this kind of ad hominem, but explained him anyway. In the meantime, other user noted that he forgot that this template was being used by Upload Wizard (the reason why virtually everyone of the pics I donated made use of it). Finally, yet another user asked him and received another rude response, recomending us to "start a COM:UD". That's why I'm here.

It would be very helpful if one of the portuguese speaking sysops participate (@DarwIn: , for instance). José Luiz disc 20:48, 4 May 2014 (UTC)

Moving forward, bear in mind that your own replies/comments haven't exactly been saintly (ex: [2]). However, the mud has been slung, and the apologies have been made, and frankly that's all that matters to me. As for the DR, I will say that it was a month old at closing, and that there was consensus amongst the participants to merge {{Pt-br}} with {{Pt}}, of which I have duly performed. -FASTILY 06:26, 5 May 2014 (UTC)
I agree with Fastily about all the drama involved in this DR (solved), but the issue at hand remains (IMO) opened: the consensus, albeit technically correct, could/should be improved with more portuguese speaking user's opinions. José Luiz disc 02:49, 6 May 2014 (UTC)
I cannot see why you think this DR is only valid with portugese users participating? You have already pinged them several times, and they did not show any interest. Also, note that explicitly wanting a certain group to participate in a discussion/vote can be seen as canvassing. I think this template should  stay deleted as it only makes file description pages unnecessarily long without having any real use.    FDMS  4    13:39, 6 May 2014 (UTC)
First, I don't think its "only valid with portugese users participating" (as you said) but "could/should be improved with more portuguese speaking user's opinions" (as I said). As I've already said, I do not challenge the legality of the deletion, but I think portuguese speaking users have a much, much better understanding of the issue than users that don't even speak the language. About the description "have any real use" (as you said), that's your POV. My own (and, I'm sure, of ptwikipedia, where ptPT and ptBR are two different things), it's important (only POVs, really). Third, this is not my home project and if here two opinions (the proponent's and the deleter's - a third guy did not leave his opinion) is a "consensus achieved" to delete something just because "time ran out" and no one sees anything wrong with that, then just ignore me. What I'm proposing is that more people (and specially but not exclusively those who actually understand the difference between ptPT and ptBR) have a chance to participate (annoucing on Commons:Esplanada, for example). Finally, about the ONE user I pinged (not several nor 'several times' like you said) to come here (the other TWO, I pinged on Fastily's DP, where the issue is solved), he's inactive since Feb 4th... Is there a time limit for things here also? José Luiz disc 20:13, 6 May 2014 (UTC)
Ops! I almost forgot: the "unimportant" template deleted in this "consensus" was used by more than 3.000 pages and the language pt-br is still available on the drop-down list of the Upload Wizard (so someone else thought it was an important distinction, I guess)... José Luiz disc 20:30, 6 May 2014 (UTC)
Hehhehee
...
Just one thing
The Wizard is based in MediaWiki languages, as far I know.
And even with the option to use en-UK in the preferences, we don't use that to describe things.
Keep it simple, pt-eu/pt-br/pt... is totally understandable, is not another language. We don't have es-eu/es-ar/es-ch... why do we have to have pt-br/pt-eu? Rodrigo Tetsuo Argenton (talk) 21:58, 6 May 2014 (UTC)
Ps:I'm a very hot Brazilian dude.
Thanks for your participation, but from my testing Britih English is (fortunately) not an option in the UploadWizard (Fastily, me or anybody else should probably fill a bug report about pt-br in it). @Jbribeiro1: Hm, I think that pretty much every deletion request ever closed could be improved with the participation of a wider audience. Yes, except when there are legal issues an unobjected request is after a certain amount of time automatically considered consensus (that can be overthrown), but I do not know any Wikimedia project where this is not the case (probably pt.WP is very special, how do you elect admins?). For me, one plus two means several, and although the place was different the reason was certainly not. And last but not least remember there are a lot of small languages on the planet, and a lot of small languages that no Commons user is able to speak at all.    FDMS  4    22:18, 6 May 2014 (UTC)
I'm very glad you asked. In ptwiki, policy is that an elimination proposal MUST have at least 3 people participating (excluding the sysop closing it) or it'll be closed as "inconclusive" and the article will be kept (it can be renominated after 3 months). And as this template is particularly useful to pt speakers, I see a connection here. But I'm sure you're not trying to judge a community in relation to others, right? And about the "several languages" problem, I can't see the problem at all: is there any limit of languages Commons can accomodate? Finally, I can't fathom why you brought admin elections to a discussion like this but we do things there the same way Meta elects their stewards: we vote. José Luiz disc 22:41, 6 May 2014 (UTC)
Elimination is a rather ugly word, and this requirement is as far as I know a rather unusual procedure. Which connection exactly? Should Commons follow local Wikipedia policies when deleting stuff related to their language? If there was a fixed limit of languages {{Pt-br}} would have probably been deleted without any formal request for deletion at all, but as I'm sure you noticed there is none and it is up to the community to decide which language templates to keep and which ones to delete. If you ask (only) me, {{Pt-br}} should not be the last template to become deleted or redirected. (BTW, I'm (obviously?) not a native english speaker either.)    FDMS  4    23:10, 6 May 2014 (UTC)
Our motives have nothing to do with this discussion, but as a courtesy I'll tell you this: in a education-deficient third-world country like Brasil, if you delete everything right away, you will not have ANY community, so we have to have an inclusionist bias and make eliminations more dificult. Back to the point HERE: this deletions request should have had more people participating IMO. I'm not calling for a reversal of all the edits Fastily has done (legally), but only for (i) the undeletion of the template and (ii) the reopening of the discussion after an announcement is done in Commons:Esplanada. If after that a "consensus" can be reached, ok. If not, then we start talking about reversals. And,Q.E.D., this is a matter better discussed in portuguese by portuguese proficient speakers.... José Luiz disc 23:29, 6 May 2014 (UTC)
Commons is a database of 105,156,124 freely usable media files to which anyone can contribute, but I am asking myself if people that are not able to communicate in English at least on a basic level have anything valuable to contribute at all. After all, education is (often) a matter of money, and if people cannot even afford learning basic English, they might not be able to afford a camera or scanner either (but a computer or mobile device, why there probably is pt.WP). However, I doubt no one in Brasil understands English (you do).    FDMS  4    10:12, 8 May 2014 (UTC)

@FDMS4: Yep, that's what I had sad, we don't use en-uk to describe things, that's the reason why we don't have that option in wizard...
And now all the decisions had to pass by the JL approval...
This a international community, is not a reunion of separate language communities. Again, is preferable to have only pt, as es, en, fr... I'm not seeing any other language that have this type of stupid division. This division make the maintenance of pages 2 times more difficult, because we need to replicate the work for nothing.
The last observation, if this division was important, and significant, pt-br and pt had to have the same number of pages, or pt-br, that have more volunteers, had to have more pages, but most of the pages here just one option of pt is developed: compare , Lusophones fully understand any formal written in pt, so "translations" is not necessaries. Backing to WP-pt, we don't have WP-pt-br... Rodrigo Tetsuo Argenton (talk) 14:58, 7 May 2014 (UTC)

Er... What? "It's preferable", "stupid division" are POVs, of course and should be presented to the community at large. The use of adjectives does not help us a bit. Again, what is the downside of presenting this issue to the community at large? I'm not defending one side or the other, but I really do think that this "consensus" failed to represent the opinion of the "community" in whatever way we choose to represent it. José Luiz disc 02:13, 8 May 2014 (UTC)
Erm … if you want to present this issue to the community at large, why do you ask for a deleted page or file […] to be restored? This is not the Village pump, where you could bring this "issue" to, but I doubt this largely unknown language template has any relevance for the whole community at all – although 1624 (!) users watch this page, only one person showed interest in this debate, and no one wanted this template to be undeleted so far.    FDMS  4    10:03, 8 May 2014 (UTC)
So we done here?
How we remove pt-br from the Wizard? Any clue?Rodrigo Tetsuo Argenton (talk) 20:16, 8 May 2014 (UTC)
Let's wait for an admin to close this (or Luiz to reply), then it's time for bugzilla:.    FDMS  4    20:19, 8 May 2014 (UTC)
I really don't have time to be here. I'll edit all my 3000+ uploads already done to include a "Brazilian portuguese" in the description and do it for all my future uploads. Now I know why people work so hard to fork wikipedia projects from Commons ("local uploads" + "keep local templates")... You THREE can decide what decide what to do, I really do not care and I'm unwatching this page... José Luiz disc 00:51, 11 May 2014 (UTC)
I doubt (some) people at the English Wikipedia don't like us because there is too little language diversity at the Commons, they just hate us because we care about copyright and we are not censored :) .    FDMS  4    09:39, 11 May 2014 (UTC)

Hello, I'm wondering why this file was tagged for "no permission" and deleted, because as I stated in the talk page, this file has EXIF data, and just seems to have been taken in a concert by the author. Maybe the contributor who added the "no permission" tag thought it was the same as the "personalty rights" template? Or is there special rights for indoor concerts? I've already seen a lot of other concerts pictures on Commons. I really don't know the real reason so I'm requesting your help about it. Thank you! Jeriby (talk) 17:34, 11 May 2014 (UTC)

Files in Category:Recordings of Richard Stallman's talks

WTF? http://web.archive.org/web/20060516091441/http://forum.wgbh.org/wgbh/forum.php?lecture_id=3020 says "This work is licensed under a Creative Commons License."--Elvey (talk) 17:51, 6 May 2014 (UTC)
Are you sure this is a license by Stallman, not just by the person who made the video? I do not see any reference to Stallman behind your link in the first place. If behind the link is actually a video of one of Stallman's talks, and Stallman has given permission, which specific file is this about; I doubt it concerns all files deleted in Commons:Deletion requests/Files in Category:Recordings of Richard Stallman's talks? darkweasel94 18:27, 6 May 2014 (UTC)
Yes, because either that's the case, or WGBH is making false copyright claims. It says "This work is licensed under a Creative Commons License" -- and links to the license. The work includes his talk, by definition. If you have reason to believe WGBH is making false copyright claims, provide it. --Elvey (talk) 19:07, 10 May 2014 (UTC)
Elvey Could you say a bit more about the link you are providing? The word "Stallman" does not appear on that page. I see the Creative Commons declaration, but what which Stallman file are you saying is connected to that declaration? It is not obvious to me that that link has any connection to the files listed at Commons:Deletion requests/Files in Category:Recordings of Richard Stallman's talks - please say more about what you are seeing. Blue Rasberry (talk) 19:38, 10 May 2014 (UTC)
"It is not obvious to me that that link has any connection" => Look at the deletion request. Again. ("Some of the links go to...")--Elvey (talk) 20:02, 10 May 2014 (UTC)
Just because someone offers a license, doesn't mean that they've been careful to make every scrap of fair use material covered by it. Stallman does not have a history of offering his talks under a Free license; see the GNU website for many of his writings under no-derivs licenses. And given his connection to the concept of copyleft, I'd be very surprised if he used CC-BY instead of CC-BY-SA if he were driven to use one of them.--Prosfilaes (talk) 19:03, 13 May 2014 (UTC)

You must own the copyright (not just the object) or demonstrate it is no longer in force to upload a work to the Commons. In this case, Otto Ruge died in 1961; accordingly, the copyright will not expire until ca. 2031 (1961 + 70). Эlcobbola talk 14:44, 15 May 2014 (UTC)

Nonsense argument by Russavia. URRA is not a reason for deletion. Yann (talk) 16:56, 14 May 2014 (UTC)
It is not that simple, only the publication they first appeared in had to have the notice not the actual picture, and if they were not published before March 1989 (even if created before that) they did not even require a notice. More evidence is needed such as when and where they were first published before it can be determined they have ever been PD in the US. LGA talkedits 05:05, 17 May 2014 (UTC)

Fernando Manoel Alves Machado.jpg

I had uploaded to Wikipedia several photos that were deleted on the grounds of copyright violation. These are all very old family photos of people that passed away long ago. It seems that because some time ago I had uploaded low-resolution copies to a Portuguese genealogy website, now someone thinks that I’ve committed some kind of copyright violation. Which I did not. I have higher resolution copies of these photos (because I own them) and I also have more photos of all these people.

Please guide me on how to restore the photos and please advise should you require any further information. T

Note: The complete list of the deleted photos can be found in my talk page.--Otripeiro (talk) 13:15, 19 May 2014 (UTC)

You refere to Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Otripeiro likely. You uploaded the photos saying that you are the author/photographer ('own work'), that information has been identified as wrong, correct information is required. The problem is that in most cases the copyright belongs to the photographer, not the subject. The photographers copyright will expire 70 years following the photographers death. --Martin H. (talk) 15:43, 19 May 2014 (UTC)
Thank you for your help Martin H..
*General Jose Carlos Conrado Chelmicki died 1890, photo taken c. 1880 (134 years ago)
*Manuel Joaquim Alves Machado died in 1915, age 93, photo take c.1890 (124 years ago)
*José Júlio Goncalves Coelho died in 1926, photo taken c.1906 (108 years ago)
None of the above mentioned photos has any indication that it has been shot by a professional photographer or any copyright signs.
*Fernando Manoel Alves Machado died 1991 but the photo is an amateur photo taken by his son, not a professional photographer.
*6º Conde de S. Vicente. Died in XVIII century. The photo is mine. It is a photo of an old painting I own.
Is this enough? We will need to wait another 50 years? Or there is something that can be done? your help is appreciated.--Otripeiro (talk) 17:38, 19 May 2014 (UTC)
  •  Oppose Although there is no firm rule on the subject, most of us accept that any image taken before 1880 is probably OK in countries where the rule is 70 years after the death of the author. That allows for a photographer born in 1860, taking the image at age 20, and then living to be 84. Obviously it is possible to assume a younger photographer and and older death, but Commons calls for "beyond a significant doubt". It is apparent that none of these except the last meet that test. Also please understand that all works are copyrighted and no notice of copyright is required, except for some works in the United States. In the case of Fernando Manoel Alves Machado, a license from the son, using the procedure at OTRS would solve the problem. .     Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 20:59, 19 May 2014 (UTC)

File:James Paige Morrison.jpg

The reason for deletion was unsatisfactory. I am James Morrison's representative and was provided this image by him, on behalf of his photographer, David Zaugh. The moderator claimed that if the image was provided by the photographer (implying I was lying) then it would not be low resolution. We are not providing high resolution images into the public domain: they are the property of James and the photographer. That is why we uploaded a low resolution image.

I do not appreciate the highly unprofessional implication that I am lying about where I obtained the image. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cinesister (talk • contribs) 11:43, May 20, 2014 (UTC)

I don't think any implication can be made as to if you are lying or not, the fact remains that uploading a low resolution image is a good sign that the editor does not have full rights to the file. I am also not sure that if an image is released in a way acceptable to commons (see COM:L) that the owner can limit what resolution that licence applies to. I would recommend that you follow the instructions set out on Commons:OTRS and have the photographer provide details as to what it is EXACTLY they are releasing and if it all checks out they wlll restore the image for you.

File:Seal of Minnesota.svg

This SVG is a faithful derivative of the Minnesotan state seal, which was created in 1983. The seal was never copyrighted, thus is in the public domain per "Template:PD-US-1978-89". Under Bridgeman Art Library v. Corel Corporation, any faithful derivatives would be in the public domain as well.

  • The seal itself was created in 1983 and never copyrighted, thus is in the public domain (per an inquiry to the U.S. Copyright Office's records from 1978 to 1989).
  • Under the ruling of Bridgeman Art Library v. Corel Corporation, any faithful derivatives would be in the public domain as well.
  • The creator of the SVG has requested that it be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons (or undeleted, in this case).

The creator of this SVG, "Svgalbertian" at the English Wikipedia, has asked that I request it be undeleted at the Wikimedia Commons. Regards, Illegitimate Barrister 09:54, 20 May 2014 (UTC)

  •  Oppose I see no reason to keep a B&W version of something we have in svg color. Anyone who needs a B&W version can easily create it.

  •  Comment Fair enough, I've removed the B&W from the request. The monochrome version isn't really needed here anyway. Regards, Illegitimate Barrister 12:04, 20 May 2014 (UTC)
  • I see that you uploaded a new version of the file today without waiting for the outcome of this UnDR. That's a violation of the rules and confuses the whole process. Rather than delete your new upload and block you to prevent a recurrence, I'll let it go because I think this should remain on Commons, but please don't go around due process again. .     Jim . . . .

Secondly, I agree with Jim in that you should have waited until this had conculded before uploading a new one and if this closes without consensus to restore it should be deleted.

I am writing an article about Lassaâd Saïdi for the free online encyclopedia Wikipedia, and I thought that some images on the site www.lassaad.com might be appropriate to be included in my article concerning Mr Saïdi biography section but also for the section dedicated to his professional relation with Mr Lecoq.

The image was deleted because it also exists at panoramio. If it is indeed, as you say, a photo of a photo in some museum, then that still does not make the photo free. Who took the original photo, and what's its license? Lupo 16:18, 21 May 2014 (UTC)
{{oppose} I agree with Lupo. A photo of a photo in a museum violates the copyright of the original photo. I also note that it is on Panaramio with All Rights Reserved. If the Panaramio user is the original photographer, then we need his permission. If not, his ARR is meaningless because a photo of a photo does not have a copyright. .     Jim . . . .

out of process deletion. copyheart is allowed. see also Category:Copyheart. Template:Copyheart Slowking4 ♡ Farmbrough's revenge 21:28, 22 May 2014 (UTC)

 Oppose I am the closing Admin. The main issue here is not whether or not copyheart is allowed, but the fact that this image is derivative of three others, two of which are CC-BY-SA and the third (the WMF globe) is ARR. CC-BY-SA requires that any derivative works be similarly licensed, so copyheart cannot be used here, whether or not it can be used elsewhere. I believe that the WMF globe cannot be used at all, but I acknowledge that the issue is not completely clear. It is clear, though, that the only license you can put on a CC-BY-SA derivative is CC-BY-SA.
Aside from license issues, my other reason for deletion was that this is simply personal art and therefore out of scope.
Finally, since copyheart is not irrevocable, I do not see how it can be permitted as the only license on Commons content. The fact that we have a template and category for it does not change that. See Commons:Deletion requests/Template:Copyheart. .     Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 22:00, 22 May 2014 (UTC)
comment, the derivative works are clearly marked in the work. see the previous discussion about the use of globe. if you think it is revocable, (unlike say a flickr license) then remove all copyheart licensed works. do you have a consensus for that? Slowking4 ♡ Farmbrough's revenge 22:15, 22 May 2014 (UTC)
Again, you cannot license a derivative of a CC-BY-SA work in any way but CC-BY-SA. Your attempt to put a copyheart license on a CC-BY-SA work is a violation of the license terms. .     Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 22:27, 22 May 2014 (UTC)

    Well, who should give permission? Did you find original image on different site?--Anatoliy (talk) 00:03, 21 May 2014 (UTC)
    No, but (and again I stress I have not seen the images) when there is a case of question over the release and there is no proof that the images have been released correctly the editor who uploaded the images is asked to get the copyright holder to provide OTRS with the proof the images are licensed correctly then the images get restored.

    If you are asking "Would I flag the images as needing permission" then it would depend on a number of factors, however it is not unreasonable to ask for clarification from new editors for images they upload especially if they are watermarked. LGA talkedits 00:40, 21 May 2014 (UTC)

 Comment I think LGA's proposal makes some sense here, judging from the (albeit somewhat limited) information I can see here, ie it's difficult to prove that what a user says is his own work, is really his own. In this case, I would think that an email sent out from the website owner, ie "user@Ahonc.de" for example via OTRS, then I would imagine this to be a simple fix unless I'm missing something here. trackratte (talk) 01:09, 21 May 2014 (UTC)

Well, if you will find image on that site, you are right. But now I cannot find image there. And in this case LGA's claims are non-sense because it will be first publication of this image and permission not needed.--Anatoliy (talk) 01:12, 21 May 2014 (UTC)
Apparently I am missing something here, as Ahonc/Anatoliy has apparently been an Admin and OTRS member for several years, so I would imagine they would know the process inside and out. Maybe a third-party admin could step in and provide some advice. trackratte (talk) 01:11, 21 May 2014 (UTC)
(Edit conflict) @Ahonc: Commons:Project scope/Evidence policy seems to cover it when it says "If there is any question, evidence may need to be supplied that the copyright owner has indeed released the file under the given licence" the very fact we are having this discussion goes to show that there is at very least a "question" as to the copyright release, so there is no harm in having it confirmed. LGA talkedits 01:21, 21 May 2014 (UTC)

  • The situation with permission looks funny. I can hardly see what an OTRS permission can clarify. We can no guarantee that no one else was involved: it is not impossible that user A took the photo, user B published at with watermark of a website belonging to user C. There is strictly nothing that can be proved via OTRS as these photos were never published before. However, if every single photo will require an OTRS proving that uploader is indeed an author, we can easily delete up to 90% of Wikimedia Commons — NickK (talk) 11:15, 21 May 2014 (UTC)
    Of course this a case for COM:OTRS: previously published material. For instance, File:Бердянск.Верзовая.jpg was published at [6]; large version at [7]. The image itself is sent with a last-modified header of Sat, 30 Mar 2013 21:48:22 GMT, about a year before the upload here. Just navigate a bit through his albums; this one is from the album entitled "Азовское море, Бердянск город - курорт (2011-2012-2013)". I don't see anything on his websites that would indicate a free license, so a confirmation via OTRS from one of the e-mail addresses given at the bottom left at [8] that the uploader User:Максимус Емельянов is indeed the owner of the site (who appears to go by the name Максим Викторович Емельянов; Maxim Viktorovich Emelyanov) is needed. Personally, I think that's highly likely, but we all know that just registering an account under some name here doesn't prove anything. Lupo 11:26, 21 May 2014 (UTC)
    P.S.: @Ahonc: , could you please contact him via e-mail and see if you can get an OTRS release? It'd certainly be good if somebody who speaks his language could do this. Lupo 11:38, 21 May 2014 (UTC)
    i have sent a letter to all three e-mail addresses given here --アンタナナ 12:36, 21 May 2014 (UTC)
    i have got his confirmation that the account Максимус Емельянов is his own indeed ;) here is the question - am i supposed to ask for an OTRS permission for these files or to send a letter to info-commons@wikimedia.org confirming the account? (Commons:Username policy) the issue here were our doubts about the uploader User:Максимус Емельянов being the owner of the site. it would be just ridiculous if he uploads more files in (near) future and these files ends up deleted because there is no permission from him, wouldn't it? --アンタナナ 17:55, 21 May 2014 (UTC)
    That's great! IMO, it's enough to forward that to OTRS now to confirm the account. We can then tag the user page with the OTRS ticket, with a statement that this is the owner of maxemel1979.io.ua. That should be good enough to prevent confusion in the future for his uploads of his own photos hosted at that site. After all, the only question was whether person behind the account was really him. Since he confirmed that, that's good enough. He is free to license his own photos any way he likes. Lupo 18:03, 21 May 2014 (UTC)
    Thanks Lupo for providing the links, now it is clear that the issue is that this material was previously published on the author's website. This means that problem is not with watermark, and the issue with previous publication can indeed be resolved via OTRS — NickK (talk) 14:41, 21 May 2014 (UTC)

out of process deletion. copyheart is allowed. see also Category:Copyheart. Template:Copyheart Slowking4 ♡ Farmbrough's revenge 21:28, 22 May 2014 (UTC)

 Oppose I am the closing Admin. The main issue here is not whether or not copyheart is allowed, but the fact that this image is derivative of three others, two of which are CC-BY-SA and the third (the WMF globe) is ARR. CC-BY-SA requires that any derivative works be similarly licensed, so copyheart cannot be used here, whether or not it can be used elsewhere. I believe that the WMF globe cannot be used at all, but I acknowledge that the issue is not completely clear. It is clear, though, that the only license you can put on a CC-BY-SA derivative is CC-BY-SA.
Aside from license issues, my other reason for deletion was that this is simply personal art and therefore out of scope.
Finally, since copyheart is not irrevocable, I do not see how it can be permitted as the only license on Commons content. The fact that we have a template and category for it does not change that. See Commons:Deletion requests/Template:Copyheart. .     Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 22:00, 22 May 2014 (UTC)
comment, the derivative works are clearly marked in the work. see the previous discussion about the use of globe. if you think it is revocable, (unlike say a flickr license) then remove all copyheart licensed works. do you have a consensus for that? Slowking4 ♡ Farmbrough's revenge 22:15, 22 May 2014 (UTC)
Again, you cannot license a derivative of a CC-BY-SA work in any way but CC-BY-SA. Your attempt to put a copyheart license on a CC-BY-SA work is a violation of the license terms. .     Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 22:27, 22 May 2014 (UTC)

File:Canadian Army Flag.svg

The closing comment states that "specific realizations of Coats of Arms and flags bearing them have a copyright belonging to the artist..." and that "an SVG newly drawn from the blazon would be free of copyright....", which is in agreement with my argument that original drawings are therefore not a violation. While the nominator based their arguments upon the age of the flag not being old enough, they did not provide any evidence this image is an offending derivative of the original work by Graham Bartram, and in fact comparing our drawing to that original, ours is different and original. The swords of our file originate from this badge which is PD-old and therefore the swords are not copyrighted while the maple leaf was completely different than the original drawing. Therefore the closing as a delete is invalid and the closing comment would support immediate restoration. As raised in the DR, there is also the concern that the flag has recently being redesigned, to use the new badge which actually dates back to WWII and is therefore too old to be copyrighted. The file must be restored and overwritten with the new unquestionably PD badge, while the file as deleted should be restored under a name including the dates of use. Fry1989 eh? 21:29, 22 May 2014 (UTC)

  •  Oppose The original drawing of the Land Force Command Badge is nearly the same as the SVG rendering, with the maple leaf being drawn in the exact same style, even so far both of them having the same 23 points in the same places. The swords are both the same, even having the same four rondels on the pommels. None of this is described in the description (blazon), which is simply "Argent in the fly two swords in saltire proper hilts and pommels Or surmounted by a maple leaf Gules veined Or, a canton of the National Flag of Canada" (Two silver crossed swords with golden hilts and pommels surmounted by a red maple leaf with golden veining). As you can see, nothing in this description provides the exact same detailing as provided in the SVG derivative. If an image were to based solely on the blazon, then it would be PD, however this image is clearly derived from the copyrighted original from 1998. Second, it is not clear that the new Army Badge was ever published prior to 2013, especially as the Canadian Army flag/badge used during the Second World War is completely different than the new one.
Lastly, keep in mind that this image isn't being deleted completely, but being ported to En Wiki (and any other supporting wiki) under fair-use). trackratte (talk) 21:59, 22 May 2014 (UTC)
Our drawing is not an offending copyright of the original drawing of the Land Force/Army badge. The swords are PD-old from a badge that is over 70 years old and the maple leaf is completely different. And Fair Use is just as bad as complete deletion, highly restricting where an image may or may not be used and does not allow for it's use on other language projects. The closing comment and the fact our drawing is different can support no other option than restoration. Fry1989 eh? 22:03, 22 May 2014 (UTC)
Fry, are you saying that this image is not the Graham Bartram drawing, but a new drawing for which we have a license? If so, I misunderstood -- I won't apologize very hard -- there's over 4,000 words in the DR and I didn't read every one. If that is the case, then I will restore it. .     Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 22:05, 22 May 2014 (UTC)
I am saying that the arguments made by Trackratte in the DR are based on factors such as age and an extremist interpretation of what constitutes a "derivative work" which are not supported by the community at large, while ignoring that our drawing is significantly different from the original image. It is not a copy, it is not a DW. Fry1989 eh? 22:07, 22 May 2014 (UTC)
  •  Oppose on procedural basis, this was started 9 mins after the close of the DR with no attempt to discuss this with the closer on their talk page. LGA talkedits 22:09, 22 May 2014 (UTC)
I have every right to initiate an unDR as I please and if my points are valid and correct there is no reason to ignore them just because of "procedural grounds". We delete and undelete things based on truth, not on whether someone thinks proper procedure was followed. Fry1989 eh? 22:13, 22 May 2014 (UTC)

(Edit conflict) 1. No proof of PD has been presented. 2. The argument that the swords were taken from a PD image is, at this point, simply made up, as the link to that file clearly says that it is copyrighted. 3. None of the details are explained in the description, so are clearly derived from the original drawing. 4. Case law, like in in this case, where "the judge's ruling relies on the defendant having both prior knowledge of the existing photograph, and be attempting to mimic it", ie "the photos are different, while being stylistically very similar". Ie, the derivative image is sourced from the copyrighted one (prior knowledge), and it is attempting to mimic it (ie naming it as the army badge/stylistically very similar). trackratte (talk) 22:16, 22 May 2014 (UTC)

On the contrary no proof has been provided that our image is a DW or copy of the original but rather points in the opposite, and the claims made by Trackratte both here and in other DRs they have participated in suggest a belief in absolute terms where once one person has created an image, all other drawings that in any way "mimic" (an over-encompassing term) it offend the original copyright. That belief both contradicts the principle of COM:COA and is not supported by the community at large. It is a fringe extremist interpretation. Under that interpretation, any person who draws two crossed swords with a maple leaf on top of them is offending the copyright of the original. Fry1989 eh? 22:19, 22 May 2014 (UTC)
No, there's a difference between drawing a maple leaf on top of two crossed swords, and drawing the same styled 23-point maple leaf on top of the same styled swords with the same style hilt with line details, and the same circle pommel with four rondels within it.
You are missapplying COM:COA to mean that anytime an image is redrawn, it is scrubbed of any copyright, which is not what COM:COA states. It states that "Arms drawn by users based solely on the blazon without any reference to the original drawing are usually safe for upload".
Also, in another Canadian Army badge case, the Department of National Defence Intellectual Property Office had this to say:

Firstly, Zscout370 is not the author of the RMC Flag and therefore has no authority to release it to any organization. That individual may be under the mistaken belief that because they have translated the flag into an alternate form (e.g. a vector image) that it is their original work and they are free to distribute it. This is incorrect. A digital version of the flag is an unoriginal derivative work which cannot be used without the permission of the owner of the underlying work - in this case DND.

.
So, there are a variety of reasons why this is a derivative of a copyrighted works, most of them which I havn't mentioned here as I've already mentioned them elsewhere. trackratte (talk) 22:31, 22 May 2014 (UTC)
I believe that the interpretation espoused by Trackratte in this DR sums up quite easily a view in which the elements do not matter, what matters is "the composition" and "attempt to mimic" an image overall. Such an interpretation of what constitutes an offending image would entirely wipe out COM:COA and force us to delete thousands upon thousands of images on Commons from flags to coats of arms to many other subjects. The claim quoted above from DND by Trackratte would also support a belief that any re-creation of the Army badge no matter how different would be offending the original copyright. Such claims are completely inconsistent with the manner in which Commons has interpreted and conducted it's affairs regarding copyrights of heraldic and vexillogic works. Fry1989 eh? 22:33, 22 May 2014 (UTC)
(Edit conflict) Actually, that interpretation is simply the legal test applied by His Honour Judge Birss, QC in [2012] EWPCC 1, which also states "What is decisive are the arrangements (motif, visual angle, illumination, etc.) selected..." in determining copyright infringement. trackratte (talk) 22:50, 22 May 2014 (UTC)
And I don't believe I am misapplying COM:COA at all, I am applying it in the manner in which it has been applied for the 5 years I've been here both as a registered and unregistered user and years before that, while you are new on the scene and instantly believe your different interpretation is the only true one. Fry1989 eh? 22:44, 22 May 2014 (UTC)
The principle behind COM:COA is pretty clear, arms and badges must be created from nothing but only the blazon in order to be PD. COM:COA is also not a Commons policy, but an essay. If a consensus has been used which is against Commons Policies and/or copyright law, then that should be rectified. COM:DR "consensus can never trump copyright law nor can it override Commons Policy". trackratte (talk) 22:50, 22 May 2014 (UTC)
The overriding policy of Commons relevant to this file is to delete images that offend the copyright of an original. You have not established to my conviction that our drawing offended the original, instead you made baseless arguments which fly in the face of how the Commons community has interpreted this particular concern for many many years. On the contrary consensus can trump your interpretation of copyright law. The law says what it says, Commons as a community interprets it and applies it where relevant, but that does not make any one user's interpretation of the law the correct one. Consensus is everything. Perhaps you should refer to the issue surrounding URAA in which is was the consensus of both the copyright lawyers who work for the Wikimedia Foundation and of Commons users to ignore URAA as a sole reason to for deletion of images. There are a handful of users who disagree, but the consensus was what matters and is what is being applied, and your belief that consensus does not matter simply is not true. Fry1989 eh? 22:54, 22 May 2014 (UTC)
Consensus is indeed everything. I'd wait for some additional input Fry1989 and see what others think. Nick (talk) 22:57, 22 May 2014 (UTC)
Once again, I do not have a "belief that consensus does not matter", nor did I ever say that. I simply quoted COM:DR ("consensus can never trump copyright law nor can it override Commons Policy") which seems pretty clear to me. URAA is 1) unrelated to this discussion, 2) keywords there are copyright lawyers, and Wikimedia foundation issued direction. There are no copyright lawyers here saying that copyright law can be ignored in this case. What there is though, are legal tests established by judges, copyright law, and Official Policy (for example a list of simple quotes from laws, legal experts, and policy here). trackratte (talk) 23:14, 22 May 2014 (UTC)
What you have said is that consensus can never override policy. As policy states copyrighted images can not be hosted on Commons, that would mean images considered copyrighted under URAA provisions would not be acceptable here. And yet two consensuses, one including copyright lawyers who are experts in such matters, decided to ignore URAA. Policy is not absolute, Wikimedia is run by consensus as much as it is policy. The only time I ever see you bring up "consensus can't override policy" is when it appears that others may consider the opposing view than you present as a last defence. Fry1989 eh? 00:17, 23 May 2014 (UTC)
Not particularly. Commons says consensus can never override policy or copyright law, not me. If the policy changes to "consensus is indeed everything" then we're all good then I suppose. I'm a huge fan of En Wikis 'ignore all rules' policy, amongst others, but as far as I'm aware such a policy doesn't exist here. trackratte (talk) 01:09, 23 May 2014 (UTC)
  •  Oppose The source description says, "based on Image:Flag of Canada.svg and an image at the World Flag Database". That tells me that it was not created de novo from the blazon, but copied from the Graham Bartram version at Flags.net. Our understanding of the law is that Bartram's realization of the flag has its own copyright, so this infringes. The deletion was correct. Please get someone to draw a new realization from the blazon, without reference to Bartrams version, or, perhaps, get a license from Bartram. .     Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 10:29, 23 May 2014 (UTC)
Again this ignores that the flag has now been redesigned to use an older badge which is PD, which is why it is imperative to undelete this file, return it's usages, and overwrite it with the change in badge. The old version can be re-drawn and uploaded separately. Fry1989 eh? 17:21, 23 May 2014 (UTC)
I don't understand. As I quoted above, the file description clearly states that is copied from Bartram. There's no mention of any redesign. .     Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 22:18, 23 May 2014 (UTC)

2013 Canadian Army badge

The redesign was mentioned in the original DR. The Canadian Army (re)adopted this badge last year, however it originally dates back to WWII which makes it too old to be copyrighted any longer. The change on the flag hasn't officially been released but can be seen in the following PDF (www.kvacanada.com/newsletterpdf/RestorationofCAID_e.pdf). That's why the file should be restored and over-written with this file, which yes contains an embedded raster but we can get it re-drawn eventually. The previous version which is the one we were arguing about and which was deleted, should be uploaded separately with dates like "Flag of the Canadian Army 1998-2014" or something similar, and it too can be redrawn, I've already even made the request for a redraw and if no-one else will do it I can do a makeshift one myself. Fry1989 eh? 00:45, 24 May 2014 (UTC)
That completely different copyrighted image on Wikipedia has no bearing on this discussion.
Even if it did, you have yet to offer any proof that the new flag has ever before been published. The only legal mechanism to publish state badges and Arms is through Letters Patent announced in the Canada Gazette and/or applied to the Register, which for the new Flag was done in 2013, and the old one in 1998. You keep saying that the new flag was used during the Second World War, which is a complete fabrication, this is the flag used during the Second World War, as can be seen here.
If you want to create a new work based solely on the blazon and nothing else, then go ahead and upload it, keeping in mind however, the legal test of avoiding mimicking a known copyrighted work. Uploading a different image has no bearing on this one. trackratte (talk) 01:05, 24 May 2014 (UTC)
It has every bearing on this discussion as I attempted to explain to you in the DR. And that image is NOT copyrighted, the Canadian Army website itself confirms the age of the badge. I am not saying the new flag was used in WWII at all, you completely misinterpret what I am saying. The badge is from WWII, and simply adding it to a white background with the Canadian flag in the upper corner doesn't give the new flag a copyright when all it's elements are PD. Having a white rectangle with the Canadian flag in the upper left corner (a simple blank white ensign) would not be considered original enough to garnish copyright, and simply adding a PD-old badge in the lower right corner does not add anything new or original. The new flag is PD because of that. Also, I NEVER said the new flag was used in WWII, which would be impossible since the Maple Leaf flag wasn't adopted until the 1960s, I'm not a moron. Fry1989 eh? 01:12, 24 May 2014 (UTC)
So why don't you show us the proof of the badge being from the Second World War over at that relevant discussion page. Second, even if, for arguments sake, the new badge were to have been used during the Second World War (of which I've seen no evidence), it would still have to be proven that it was published (Copyright Act: "2.2 (1) For the purposes of this Act, “publication” means (a) in relation to works, (i) making copies of a work available to the public,...") during the Second World War. The only reliable way of which to do this is to find its entry in the Register, or to find its publication in the Canada Gazette. trackratte (talk) 01:28, 24 May 2014 (UTC)
How and where I choose to make my arguments is not your concern, the truth of them is. The age of the badge is confirmed both directly by the Canadian Army in that PDF where they state "...our WWII to 1968 badge used by our historic Canadian Army", in this press release on the website of the Canadian Army, and on secondary sources such as FOTW. It's too old. As for the flag, putting two PD things together in an unoriginal manner does not create a new copyright, that would be like Sodacan claiming copyright to File:Royal Coat of Arms of the United Kingdom (Both Realms).svg even though they released the two files as free just because they put them side-by-side. Fry1989 eh? 02:07, 24 May 2014 (UTC)
Right, so not at all related to the copyright status of the topic image of this UnDR discussion (1998 badge) but to this image here (2013 badge):
The PDF refers to the Second World War Badge, as well as possibly the Mobile Force Badge, or either of the ensigns used in between, none of which are the 2013 badge. That news release you reference makes precisely zero mention of the Second World War, only that "The new primary badge, based on the pre-Unification badge of the Canadian Army, is encased in a modern version of the badge frame and features crossed swords bounded by three maple leaves", ie the new badge is based on a pre-1968 badge to an unknown extent.
  • So, 1. You have to prove that this prior badge was published (released to the public), 2. The exact date of official publication, 3. That the new badge is a derivative of the old one, and 4. The old badge was ever released into the PD, if applicable. trackratte (talk) 02:55, 24 May 2014 (UTC)
I have tried explaining this to you enough times already and you refuse to understand, but I will explain for Jim because I know they will. When a flag is changed, we usually over-write it and upload the old version separately including dates of use in it's file name. The bext exmaples of this is when Malawi and Libya changed their national flags. Why do we do this? Because it's a lot cleaner than doing renames. Trackratte does not understand this at all, or how file namespace works on Commons, and they constantly overcomplicate the issue. As for the badge, I don't have to prove anything, the evidence I have provided is enough. It;s too old and PD by the very nature of it's age. The PDF as well as the other two sources I linked clearly refer to the new badge, nobody could possibly think otherwise. The source from FOTW confirms that the "new" badge is what is being referred to, and is PD-old. The Army sources are not referring to any flags, they are very specific about a badge. Fry1989 eh? 03:03, 24 May 2014 (UTC)
  • (Edit conflict)Except the 1998 flag just deleted was the flag of Land Forces Command, as opposed to the flag of Mobile Force Command which came before it, and the new flag of the Canadian Army which comes after. Each flag reflecting an organisational change significant enough to warrant a completely different name for the organisation along with a completely different set of symbols. So, it's not as simple as uploading an "updated" image, when in fact they're two fundamentally different things. Also, the Canadian Army article at En Wiki already has the Land Force Command badge there just below the infobox under fair use to illustrate the organisational change.
  • And your "I don't have to prove anything" approach is problematic. Without a date of official publication, you cannot tell how old something is. All FOTW shows is that the badge depicted on that website was drawn by Glen Robert-Grant Hodgins in 1998, and that it was based on a post Second World War badge which was later 'Canadianised', and may have been used unofficially internally, or it may have been published, its unknown. So, based on all three sources presented, we're still left with no idea 1. If it was ever officially published prior to 2013, 2. The date such a publication would have occurred, 3. If such a badge ever entered the public domain. Ie, zero proof of PD at this time. However, we have proof of copyright in the Letters Patent issued for the Arms in 2013, registration with the intellectual property office in 2013, Registration in volume VI of the Public Register of Arms, Flags, and Badges, the Army publishing it in 2013, and an explicit copyright all rights reserved licence on the image on the Army's flickr account from 2013. trackratte (talk) 03:39, 24 May 2014 (UTC)
Adding to a closed discussion is usually considered very bad form, and I see no problem in my arguments except the constructed ones you use which have major holes in them. I have plenty of proof the image is PD and will present it when I am ready to continue this matter in a more effective way. Fry1989 eh? 03:48, 24 May 2014 (UTC)
Since you're continuing to edit here: I clearly have an edit conflict template there, so you closed the discussion while I was editing it, causing an edit conflict.

That publication date eliminates the need for notice and, since {w|Paul Foster (cartoonist)|Paul Foster}} died in 2003, the poster will be under copyright until 2073. In order to restore it, we will need proof beyond a significant doubt that it was published before 1989 or permission from Paul Foster's heirs. Note that post-1978 exhibition in public does not constitute publication for copyright purposes. .     Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 22:23, 22 May 2014 (UTC)
do not speedy delete items with a disputed copyright license, take them to deletion review. are you supporting summary admin "justice"?
according to website : "this poster was given Reggie Williams owner of the Straight Theater in 1966 ... years later it was sold at a poster show in 1987." published and transferred in 1966; subsequent resale in 1987. you might want to address the issue of no notice. this poster is by Norman Hartwig "This Acid Test poster dates back to 1965 and is for the Muir Beach Acid Test."

No notice is required because the first publication was after 1989. The neither the 1966 gift nor the 1987 sale at the poster show constituted publication under the different applicable law on each date. You have offered no evidence of any other pre-1989 publication. .     Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 22:16, 23 May 2014 (UTC)

cf. Commons:Deletion requests/File:Anatoliy Solovianenko - Soviet Life, October 1984.jpg

Hello,

There doesn't seem to be a valid reason for deletion. LGA nor Fastily do not offer any coherent reasoning against arguments by others. Regards, Yann (talk) 12:09, 24 May 2014 (UTC)

See also Commons:Village pump/Copyright/Archive/2014/05#PD-US-1989-tagged images produced outside the US. Arguments for deletion look like a deadlock situation: in order to use {{PD-US-1989}}, we must prove that the image was not published abroad, which is technically impossible. I cannot check this file right now (as it is deleted), but unless there is a proof this file was ever published abroad, I believe we should assume it meets {{PD-US-1989}}.
P.S. If someone really wants to push COM:PRP and wants to see a proof that an image was never published abroad, I invite him to go through any of PD US categories and provide proofs that none of this images was published in Côte d'Ivoire (a country with copyright length of 99 years pma) within 30 days after being published in the USA. I would be very interested in seeing what such proof looks like... — NickK (talk) 12:26, 24 May 2014 (UTC)
The question is if for this photo and for File:Soviet Life, 1984-10, № 337.pdf PD-US-1989 covers both COM:L requirements: The US and the country of origin. At Commons:Deletion requests/File:Anatoliy Solovianenko - Soviet Life, October 1984.jpg the uploader says ..the rights holder, at time of publication, was either the Embassy of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics to the United States of America, or Novosti Press Agency.., and ..we know that much of the magazine is completely original material that was never published in the country of origin. Thats incorrect. If the material has been licensed or given from Novosti Press Agency to the publishers of SOVIET LIFE, then this alreadey constitutes a publication. And it occured in the Soviet Union because thats where the publisher (Novosti) is located. A valid copyright tag for the country of origin is missing. --Martin H. (talk) 17:43, 24 May 2014 (UTC)
Well, if this image is unfree and DW of File:Soviet Life, 1984-10, № 337.pdf ⇒ original pdf contains unfree images and will be unfree too, and should be also deleted. So I suggest that this image should be restored unless File:Soviet Life, 1984-10, № 337.pdf is not deleted, and start discuss deletion of File:Soviet Life, 1984-10, № 337.pdf.--Anatoliy (talk) 18:01, 24 May 2014 (UTC)

I restored this as DW of free book. If someone disagree, please open DR for original PDF firstly. And if it will be deleted than this image and other derivs should be deleted too.--Anatoliy (talk) 18:07, 24 May 2014 (UTC)

Although I agree with the result (to be sure, it is a close call), Anatoliy's reasoning is faulty. The magazine as a whole is free because it is free (no notice) in the USA, which is its place of origin. However, if individual parts of the magazine, either text or photos, were first published elsewhere, they could easily be unfree elsewhere even though they would be free in the USA. Thus the magazine as a whole meets our test of free both in the USA and the country of origin, but some parts may not. .     Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 18:21, 24 May 2014 (UTC)

Published e.g. in [12] (Los Angeles, 1955, p. 12) without indication of copyright. What's more there are no restrictions to take photos in a museum and some reproductions of this sculpture and the sculpture itself were in public domain in Soviet countries (as per file description, 20yrs copyright).

Hi, can someone competent verify this? the file is PD according to PD-US-no notice, thanks Vert (talk) 14:40, 24 May 2014 (UTC)
The statue is located in Poland according to the file discription. This file is not covered by FOP since a museum is not a public place. The FOP page actually says The copyright act from July 4, 1994 in article 33 point 1 allows to propagate works that are permanently exhibited on the publicly accessible roads, streets, squares or gardens provided that the propagation is not for the same use. and this certainly not includes museum's. This sculpture is still under copyright in Poland since the period for the copyright to expire is 70 years after the authors dead which mean that this file can be undeleted on january the first, 2015. Natuur12 (talk) 15:38, 24 May 2014 (UTC)

  •  Oppose The statue may well be PD in the US, however not necessarily so in other countries, and (given I can't see the image description) if this was taken Poland it would need to be taken when the statue was "permanently exhibited on the publicly accessible roads, streets, squares or gardens" no indication that it was. LGA talkedits 02:47, 25 May 2014 (UTC)
It's a joke or some Kafkian novel? This work can be published in commons under PD-US-no notice (it is fully applicable here as per my initial entry), just as above mentioned files. Is there someone rational here? I am not claiming that it is FOP so stop using this argument!! Vert (talk) 11:53, 25 May 2014 (UTC)
But {{PD-US-no notice}} only applies to the work in relation to the US, how can a US copyright template apply to a photo taken in Poland ? Who was the person who took the photo ? LGA talkedits 12:18, 25 May 2014 (UTC)
According to the table there is it clear (regarding sculpture by Maillol) - Works Registered or First Published in the U.S. - 1923 through 1977 Published without a copyright notice. Copyright Term - None. In the public domain due to failure to comply with required formalities, hence this work is PD irrespective where the photo was taken. Besides the file was realised to PD by uploader. Vert (talk) 12:35, 25 May 2014 (UTC)
Not true, as Jim makes clear below the sculpture is in copyright in Poland and the a picture taken in Poland will not benefit from any US copyright status. LGA talkedits 21:42, 25 May 2014 (UTC)
It is a bronze cast of exactly the same sculpture, are you aware of bronze casting? Just enter Maillol Renoir in google. If this is PD in the US why it should not be in Europe? I would appreciate a competent remark, but since I cannot count on such, I'll not discuss any more. Vert (talk) 16:43, 25 May 2014 (UTC)
I fully understand the process of making cast of sculpture. You say "exactly the same sculpture" without offering any evidence. Sculptors do make changes between casts, so they may not be the same.
More important, though, is the status of the image. It is often the case that a single work, or multiple copies of a single work, have different copyright status in different countries. There is no reason to believe that the Polish version of this sculpture is PD. While an image of a PD sculpture located in the USA can be freely licensed anywhere in the world, it is clear that the Polish sculpture and images of it are not free anywhere in the world but the US. It is entirely analogous to the reverse situation which happens when identical casts of the same sculpture are in the USA and an FOP country. We cannot host images of the USA copy, but do host images of the other. .     Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 17:30, 25 May 2014 (UTC)

The only open question from the DR was, whether this can be relicensed as CC-BY-SA or whether we should create a separate license template.

Unicef symbols

The files deleted in this DR should be considered PD under our license PD-UN. This disclaimer, which states "The unauthorized use of the UNICEF name and logo is against international law and is expressly forbidden", does not address the copyright status of the logo but rather is more in keeping with international law regarding the misuse of internationally-recognized protection signs such as the red cross. PD-UN states that it is the intent of the United Nations to maintain most of it's documents in the Public Domain unless otherwise stipulated, and under section 2 this includes any United Nations documents issued with a UN symbol. As Unicef is an organ of the United Nations, the license would clearly apply. As an excerpt, the Unicef flag and logo would be safe under our license. Fry1989 eh? 18:28, 26 May 2014 (UTC)

  •  Oppose The policies of the UN clearly allow for copyrighted material. The full statement on the Unicef site, from which Fry took the sentence he quoted above is as follows:
"UNICEF offers its information on the Internet essentially for the benefit of individuals interested in its efforts to uphold the Convention on the Rights of the Child, to protect and promote the well-being of children and to foster human development.
If you wish to mirror, reproduce, republish or translate any of the information for wider dissemination, please make use of the copyright permission option on our feedback form with details of such proposed use, including the nature and size of the intended audience. Please email nyhqdoc.permit@unicef.org regarding the use of UNICEF publications issued in New York.
UNICEF reserves all copyrights on material on its Web pages, including photographs and graphic designs. In the case of some publications, UNICEF has licensed the rights to third parties.
The use of UNICEF Internet material for any purpose, including repackaging in hard copy or compilation for CD-ROM or any other electronic media, is prohibited unless prior written permission is obtained.
The unauthorized use of the UNICEF name and logo is against international law and is expressly forbidden." [emphasis added]
This explicitly claims copyright and I see no room for misinterpretation. .     Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 18:40, 26 May 2014 (UTC)
Whether the UN allows for copyrighted material or not isn't the question. The question is "is the UNICEF symbol copyrighted?" and the answer is not a simple "yes". The UNICEF website's disclaimer does mention what is copyrighted when it states "UNICEF reserves all copyrights on material on its Web pages, including photographs and graphic designs.", but in regards to the UNICEF symbol it only says "The unauthorized use of the UNICEF name and logo is against international law and is expressly forbidden.". International symbols such as the red cross or letters "U N" are considered protective symbols and their misuse is a violation of international law, but they are not copyrighted. Misuse of any UN symbol is against international law for the same reasons, but there is no statement on whether or not the UNICEF logo is copyrighted, the section discussing the logo leaves the copyright status in question. Now, the UN has released documents regarding the UN flag and symbol, there is no reason not to believe the same has been done for the other organs including UNICEF. Any excerpt from those documents (unless they are otherwise stipulated) are in the Public Domain. Fry1989 eh? 18:49, 26 May 2014 (UTC)
The full disclaimer, which I did read, had the opportunity and was detailed enough to state that all UNICEF symbols and logos are held in copyright along with any web content and photographs and other material so stipulated. Instead it separately addresses the use of UNICEF symbols in a different sentence and does not state that it is copyrighted, but rather that misuse is a violation of international law. It does not address the copyright status of the UNICEF symbol directly or in an implied manner. It may in fact be copyrighted, but that is not what the website says. Fry1989 eh? 19:40, 26 May 2014 (UTC)
  •  Oppose The UNICEF website makes it clear they view them in copyright, and we should respect that. If Fry1989 would like them hosted here then he should email nyhqdoc.permit@unicef.org and ask UNICEF to contact OTRS confirming a free licence. LGA talkedits 20:58, 26 May 2014 (UTC)
  •  Oppose per Jim and LGA. The crucial element in that disclaimer is the sentence that says "UNICEF reserves all copyrights on material on its Web pages, including photographs and graphic designs". That leaves little room for manoeuvre other than the OTRS route. Green Giant (talk) 21:20, 26 May 2014 (UTC)
  •  Oppose per "...reserves all copyrights...". In addition, Commons policy makes it explicitly clear that it is the responsibility of those wishing to keep the file to provide proof of PD. No such proof has been presented here, in fact quite the contrary. trackratte (talk) 23:32, 26 May 2014 (UTC)
LGA, they do not make it clear the symbols are copyrighted in the least, they do not even list them in the same sentence regarding what content is considered under copyright. At minimum they are ambiguous, and best it is questionable, and at worst you are all completely misinterpreting what they actually say. Fry1989 eh? 01:15, 27 May 2014 (UTC)
Sorry but I fail to see any ambiguity in the statement UNICEF reserves all copyrights on material on its Web pages, including photographs and graphic designs, it's logo being on the website and being a graphic design and all that. LGA talkedits 01:25, 27 May 2014 (UTC)
I've already pointed out the rather obvious ambiguity in the fact that when they were addressing copyrights held by UNICEF they stipulate a variety of materials from photos to artwork, but when it comes to specifically addressing the status of the UNICEF logo they are suddenly silent of stating "the UNICEF logo is copyrighted..." and rather simply say that it's misuse is a violation of international law, which is no different than several other international signs that are protected from misuse but not copyrighted. Fry1989 eh? 01:44, 27 May 2014 (UTC)
Logo = graphic design. LGA talkedits 02:03, 27 May 2014 (UTC)
How many different ways do I have to say that they are silent on the copyright status of the UNICEF logo and flag and only mention potential misuse? Fry1989 eh? 18:51, 27 May 2014 (UTC)

Reason: I've uploaded the images a while ago but at that time I did not have an official confirmation from the Designer. Now i do, I've got an e-mail from him in which he states that the images are his and that they are free to use under the "Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported" and GNU Free Documentation License (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts). I don't see a place where i can upload the e-mail or an adress I can forward it to. So I will paste it at the bottom of this post. I hope that with this confirmation from the designer the images will be undeleted. So I can continue making the the "AERIUS (PAS)" wiki-page.

Done by Jim -FASTILY 22:06, 27 May 2014 (UTC)

For me, yes, because the can it self, the cylinder, is not under copyright, as the the Coke bottle.
What is under a copyright, is the logo, and the draw, but this is not clear in the photo, non of the cans have a clear shot of the logo, and the style, because of the flair, the bad quality, and bad photographer (me), have a lot of silver things, and the logo and the style is not highlighted here, occupying a little space in the whole photo, I counted only seven cans turn to the cam.
Even if they had a clear shot, as this, the subject is not the can, is ridiculous pyramid made by cans, non that I can easily read "Red Bull".
Of course DM is quite subjective, I look to this (2) and for me the subject is the can, but you think differently (I'm supposing, because you not marked this one).

Unicef symbols

I am opening this appeal again, because the reasoning is not sound at all. Not only does this ignore the fact that the website notice does not address the status of the UNICEF logo and flag and is suspiciously silent on the matter, the idea espoused by LGA that a website copyright notice can apply to all images no matter what is simply impossible. If I design a website and it hosts a variety of images, I do not get hold copyright on all of those images just because I put up a notice if one or more of those images are in fact PD. There is zero evidence provided either the notice applies to the UNICEF logo or that the UNICEF logo is copyrighted at all. Fry1989 eh? 00:16, 28 May 2014 (UTC)

  •  Oppose Again ...... Fry1989 copyright is not a game where each side tries to out fox the other with clever words. The days of having to put a copyright notice on things in order for protection are long gone. Now unless you have a link/citation from a credible source explicitly declaring these images to be freely licensed then you are wasting every ones time. LGA talkedits 01:38, 28 May 2014 (UTC)
This isn't a fox game, this is a matter of text and truth. It's a fact that the notice you hold in such high regard does not address the copyright status of the UNICEF logo and flag, and can not apply to all images hosted on a website where an image originates from the Public Domain. Fry1989 eh? 01:49, 28 May 2014 (UTC)
  •  Comment The revised UNICEF logo in use today was adopted in 1986. Prior to 17 September 1987 it was the position of the UN to not seek copyright protection (see UN ST/AI/189/Add.9/Rev.2), although they did make some exceptions. I was unable to find any exemption granted for the UNICEF logo under the prior policy. The revised logo appears on the cover of a UNICEF Annual Report in 1986 (prior reports have an older logo). The first year in which a UNICEF Annual Report has a copyright notice is 2000. I reviewed all items registered with the U.S. Copyright Office by the U.N, UNICEF, and related names from 1984 to 1992 and I was unable to find any indication that the revised UNICEF logo was ever registered with the U.S. Copyright Office. So the UNICEF logo is almost certainly PD in the U.S. It's unclear to me if the preceding facts are sufficient to undelete these files, as I don't know how the Commons "PD in US and Source policy" is applied to works that originate with international organizations like the U.N. —RP88 01:46, 28 May 2014 (UTC)
Considering the nature of the United Nations as an organisation, I believe the "source country" requirement can not apply in the normal fashion. UNICEF is headquartered in the United States however, if "source country" did matter. Fry1989 eh? 01:52, 28 May 2014 (UTC)
There is an issue with the AI, in that it that was raised at the DR, it does not meet the requirements of COM:L in that it completable revocable and the UN are free to ignore it if they want. They also seem to be doing that as we can see on the UN website's copyright notice. There is way more than a significant doubt as to the free status of these images and the only way we can be sure of the status of the UNICEF logo is to ask them if they will confirm to COM:OTRS that it free to use. I see nothing new since this was closed as "We cannot host these images by MichaelMaggs less than 12 hours ago. If Fry1989 is so sure they are free he should email UNICEF at the address on the website and ask them to confirm the status to the OTRS team and that will be an end to the problem.LGA talkedits 02:40, 28 May 2014 (UTC)
And what makes you believe I haven't already? What you consider a "waste of time" I consider a worthwhile pursuit, the truth matters to me and if I believe people are misinterpreting what something actually says I will try my hardest to find out what the reality is. Fry1989 eh? 03:24, 28 May 2014 (UTC)
To be clear, I am not taking a position on whether or not {{PD-UN}} is a valid tag under Commons policy (it may well not be) or a position on the public domain status of the images in Category:PD-UN. I'm only saying I am of the opinion that the UNICEF logo is PD in the US for the reason that it was published in the US from 1978 to 1 March 1989, without notice, and without subsequent registration within 5 years. —RP88 03:41, 28 May 2014 (UTC)
I don't know, and I also don't know how the legal status of the UN under international copyright law further complicated matters. However I do know that we have a very simple way to resolve this and that is "Ask them", I see no reason why Fry1989 should not just drop them an e-mail and ask them to confirm it rather than re-debating the issue here. LGA talkedits 04:29, 28 May 2014 (UTC)
Thank you for truly prooving you never read anything I say, least of all with any bit of thought put into it. I have emailed them and I am waiting a response, but whether I get one or not does not mean it is the only way. Fry1989 eh? 04:32, 28 May 2014 (UTC)
I did read you had, my point was that was all you needed to do, either they would come back and say "Yep it is PD" and the OTRS member could ask for the file to be restored or they would come back and say "No it is copyright" in which case nothing more to do. But no you instead want to debate it out more and waste more time. Will for the love of sanity will the next passing admin close this down as awaiting OTRS conformation.

MichaelMaggs explained why this undeletion will not happen not more than 24 hours ago. The images will only be undeleted if and when you can provide 100% certainty that the images are in the public domain or they have been suitably licenced by UNICEF and there exists no question of any legal issues for either Commons or downstream reusers of this work.

the case for undeletion stands or falls on its own merits.
a prima facie reading of relevant policy & templates CLEARLY indicates that the admin's close & delete was wrong.

if the matter is decided because you "don't like my style", or if one can no longer point out when admins make a mistake, then commons is a lost cause.
