Images uploaded by user:Delphico[edit]
Delphico is apparently connected to the International Delphic Council. In 2010, that user stated permission had been granted by the IDC to post the first images they uploaded. Those have been kept, but more recent uploads have in the past two weeks started to be deleted in bulk. They all have appropriate license tags. This user has been visiting Commons regularly every year since then, uploading more original files from the IDC. (They also did not respond to another couple of talkpage messages in 2011).
A week ago, NBS posted 'delete in a week' tags on 25 of these files (listed tersely on Delphico's talk page; those were deleted after getting no response. NBS just now listed another 30 in the same way. Some of those 30 are in use on ru.wp; no idea if this was also true of the deleted files.
I request undeleting those 25 files until an update can be gotten from the IDC. There's no urgent reason to delete, and we can wait to discuss with the uploader. It seems likely that Delphico is connected to the council - as noted by DarDar who is using some of the images and left me a kind message about them - and could get more explicit permission if necessary (or can explain if they are personally the rightsholder / authorized to license such documents). --SJ+ 17:33, 28 June 2014 (UTC)

Shortly after this was deleted due to lack of source on Commons, a source was added to the file information page on Wikipedia: w:File:UUVs.jpg[1]. With the new source, it should be possible to undelete the file again. --Stefan4 (talk) 15:12, 1 July 2014 (UTC)

I wonder why the file has been deleted, because there was a DR at Commons:Deletion requests/File:MIVB TRAM 51 AT HEYSEL BRUSSELS BELGIUM JULY 2012 (7690226222).jpg and the file was kept. It was a Flickr file reviewed, then the license was correct at the time the file was reviewed. And the derivative file File:MIVB TRAM 51 AT HEYSEL BRUSSELS BELGIUM JULY 2012 (7690226222) (cropped).jpg still exists. Then, is it possible to undelete this file? Or maybe to open a new DR if needed to have other opinions? Thanks for your help. Jeriby (talk) 23:37, 30 June 2014 (UTC)
- Oppose Although I was the Admin who closed the DR as kept, after a second look, I think this deletion is appropriate. The Atmomium looms over this image and may or may not be DM. The cropped file, File:MIVB TRAM 51 AT HEYSEL BRUSSELS BELGIUM JULY 2012 (7690226222) (cropped).jpg, has only the tram and certainly is not a problem. . Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 09:54, 1 July 2014 (UTC)
- Oppose This looks clearly to be a derivative work. The Flickr review was performed by a bot that merely checks for a license match and cannot judge the visual content (see COM:LL for the notion), so that argument is non-responsive to the reason for deletion. The derivative file cropped out a significant portion of the sculpture, thus making it more likely to be COM:DM. The original seemed clearly posed to include and frame the sculpture; I would not expect a de minimis argument to prevail given what appears to be deliberate inclusion of the sculpture. Эlcobbola talk 19:30, 1 July 2014 (UTC)
- Oppose The only reason to want the un-cropped version back is that it has a better view of the Atmomium. LGA talkedits 21:07, 1 July 2014 (UTC)
Not done As was said above, the deleted image is likely a derivative work, while the cropped version eliminates that problem. Sven Manguard Wha? 22:52, 1 July 2014 (UTC)

In reference to - deletion request and subsequent deletion of the files I would like to clarify . No where in the site its mentioned as "This is subject to the material being reproduced accurately and not being used in a derogatory manner or in a misleading context" . Could you please point it out . I clearly see that in the site http://nroer.in/home/# its given under "All material is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License unless mentioned otherwise. " . I contest the deletion and others which were deleted along with this are :

Support It seems that the license is OK. Yann (talk) 08:31, 1 July 2014 (UTC)
- Oppose The image description gives the source as http://iwai.nic.in/. At the bottom of that page, there is a link to "Copyright Policy" which says:
- "Copyright Policy
- Material featured on this site may be reproduced free of charge in any format or media without requiring specific permission. This is subject to the material being reproduced accurately and not being used in a derogatory manner or in a misleading context. Where the material is being published or issued to others, the source must be prominently acknowledged. However, the permission to reproduce this material does not extend to any material on this site, which is identified as being the copyright of a third party. Authorisation to reproduce such material must be obtained from the copyright holders concerned. [emphasis added]
- It seems, therefore, that the DR quoted the source site correctly and that the DR was appropriate.
- If the images are also hosted at http://nroer.in/home/# , then that license can apply. However, you will need to provide links to their location on that site.
- It is also possible that the images are available through a link on http://nroer.in/home/# but are actually hosted at iwai.nic.in. In that case, the more restrictive license at iwai.nic.in applies.
- . Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 10:14, 1 July 2014 (UTC)
- Support The sentence Jim highlights speaks to moral rights, which is a non-copyright restriction (see COM:NCR). While I expect that Jim and I agree that the Commons ought to consider these rights in addition to economic rights (i.e., copyright), it is not currently our practice to do so. Indeed, moral rights are treated like trademarks; they are issues left to the reusers of Commons content (per COM:NCR, "It is up to the reusers of Commons-hosted media to ensure that they do not violate any non-copyright restrictions that apply to the media.") Эlcobbola talk 14:26, 1 July 2014 (UTC)
- Sorry, but I disagree strongly.
- "subject to the material being reproduced accurately"
- is a very clear statement of an No-Derivatives license, which we do not permit. I agree with Эlcobbola that the rest speaks to moral rights, but that is not important. . Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 15:42, 1 July 2014 (UTC)
- The Copyright Policy says “Material featured on this site may be reproduced free of charge in any format or media.” A change of format is, by definition, a derivative work. An interpretation of “reproduced accurately” as meaning “no derivatives” causes the policy to become self-contradictory. Assume, for the sake of argument, that the site hosted an image of Mickey Mouse (and owned all copyrights thereto). Would you agree that the aforementioned statement would seem to allow one to create a sculpture of Mickey Mouse (“may be reproduced […] in any format”)? If so, would not the sculptor be adding dimensional information--moving from 2D to 3D--not present in the original, an action inherently unfaithful (i.e., inaccurate) to the original? At a higher level, this copyright policy is more or less verbatim boilerplate of the UK open government license (in this case Indian government – also used by UK, Wales, New Zealand, etc.) that address "material" - a "one size fits all" for both images and text. I think it is clear that accuracy is meant to refer to the reproduction of facts and figures (i.e., literary works) rather than transformations of images (visual works). To interpret it otherwise is, as above, to introduce logical contractions within the policy. (This is quite labored, but another consideration is that a derivative work is, by definition, a work based on an existing work - i.e., a new, separate work. The requirement for accuracy applies to “material being reproduced” not to, for example, “material being transformed/adapted/etc.” Inherently, then, it may be interpreted as not speaking to derivatives.) Эlcobbola talk 17:35, 1 July 2014 (UTC)
- Another reasonable interpretation is that, since the permission to reproduce in any format is subject to being reproduced accurately, adaptations to formats which cannot inherently be accurate are not permitted. Another major flaw in your argument is that even if you infer from the "any format or media" passage that adaptations are permitted if they are necessary in order to transform the content to another format, there is nothing in the statement that explicitly states or even suggests that any other modifications are permitted. —LX (talk, contribs) 18:26, 1 July 2014 (UTC)
- I don't consider that a reasonable interpretation, as it ignores, among others, convention and parlance of legal writing. It's a moot point, however, because the "reproduced accurately" is a moral right, not an economic one. I should have made clear in my follow-up that Jim is incorrect in believing the contrary, and that my comments were meant to examine the problem of the argument even if we adopt that erroneous notion. The aforementioned boilerplate is largely an invocation of the Berne Convention. Article 6bis thereof speaks to Moral Rights, which include "the right [...] to object to any distortion, mutilation or other modification of, or other derogatory action in relation to, the said work". The verbiage of "reproduced accurately" is merely an alternative wording--a distillation--of the "object[ion] to any distortion, mutilation or other modification". Indeed, I was deliberate in my initial comment that "The sentence Jim highlights speaks to moral rights" and did not, as Jim implies, ignore the third through ninth words. Per COM:NCR, moral rights are not considered. Эlcobbola talk 19:19, 1 July 2014 (UTC)
- Moral rights generally prevent you from modifying an image, unless explicitly permitted by the copyright holder. For example, if you use an image illegally in Sweden, a court would fine you. If you use the image illegally and additionally mirror or crop the image, or make a parody of it, then you would receive a greater fine. Moral rights are essentially a non-derivative restriction (and on top of that an attribution restriction: use without attribution also increases the amount of the fine). The image needs to be available under a licence which allows modification (including mirroring and cropping). Otherwise, the licence is the equivalent of a CC-BY-ND licence. --Stefan4 (talk) 20:27, 1 July 2014 (UTC)
- We agree. The point is that the clause highlighted by Jim speaks to moral rights, and the Commons does not consider moral rights. Indeed, the Commons should consider moral rights, but it currently does not. We must evaluate images based on the guidelines as they are (COM:NCR), not as we might wish them to be. A corollary is the nonsensical decision to ignore UK law which gives a copyright to faithful copies of 2D PD works. Эlcobbola talk 20:38, 1 July 2014 (UTC)
- What do you mean? Disregarding moral rights is the same thing as accepting CC-BY-ND, and {{Cc-by-nd}} is a speedy deletion tag. The only place where modifications are discussed in the Swedish copyright law is within the section for moral rights, and the moral rights prohibit all modifications (unless absolutely needed, for example you may typeset text yourself instead of using a scan of the source you're quoting, but you can't e.g. crop an image). It may be different in countries where the economic and moral parts of copyright do not expire at the same time. --Stefan4 (talk) 20:56, 1 July 2014 (UTC)

Эlcobbola talk 17:35, 1 July 2014 (UTC)
- Sorry, but I disagree strongly.
- Oppose the restriction "This is subject to the material being reproduced accurately" is restriction that is not acceptable on commons, it is not in keeping with the wmf:Resolution:Licensing policy and the Freedomdefined:Definition which require media we host to have a licence that alows the "freedom to make changes and improvements, and to distribute derivative works".

- Oppose reproduced accurately is clearly ND and not suitable for Commons. Did anyone ever contacted the (c)holder? --Hedwig in Washington (mail?) 22:30, 1 July 2014 (UTC)
Not done "Reproduced accurately" is outside of the boundaries of the license given, and is outside of what Commons allows. On a related note, I feel that I should point out that Commons sibi pointed to a 3.0 license in asking for the undeletion, but used a 2.5 license on the file I checked, File:National Waterway no. 3 (NW-3).gif. Please be careful with this in the future; cc-by-sa-2.5 and cc-by-sa-3.0 are not the same thing, and cannot be used interchangeably. Sven Manguard Wha? 23:04, 1 July 2014 (UTC)

Oppose Reopened the Undel. I have deleted the image and put a {{Dont recreate}} on his talk page. It does not appear to be a selfie, therefore it cannot be "own work" as claimed. Since it has appeared elsewhere on the web without a free license, in order to restore it, we will need a license from the photographer using the procedure at Commons:OTRS. . Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 15:44, 2 July 2014 (UTC)
Oppose - if the user is indeed "Dio Zambrano" then it shouldn't be too difficult to comply with the OTRS requirement. Until then the image should remain deleted. Interestingly, the image was uploaded for use on the corresponding articles at en:Dio Zambrano and es:Dio Zambrano. The former is the subject of an AfD that will almost certainly result in deletion and the latter was speedily deleted earlier today. Green Giant (talk) 16:21, 2 July 2014 (UTC)
Not done per above. "Is a picture of me" implies you are merely the subject, not the photographer (the author who would hold the copyright). If copyright has been transferred to you, follow the procedure at COM:OTRS to provide us evidence of the transfer; the volunteer who processes the ticket will restore the image if permission is in order.

This under {{VOA}}, therefore there is no copyright violation, it should be restored isn't it ? --Rédacteur Tibet (talk) 15:56, 2 July 2014 (UTC)
Comment The VOA's terms of use, at http://www.voanews.com/info/terms_of_use_privacy_policy/1363.html, claims that our template is wrong -- they specify an NC license. I think we can probably ignore that. However, they also point out that much VOA material comes from other news organizations and does have a copyright. Are we sure that this does not fall in that category? . Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 16:12, 2 July 2014 (UTC)- Comment VOA seems to have changed their terms of use last summer: the June 2013 version states that materials are in public domain, while July 2013 version claims that only NC use is allowed. I wonder whether this means that they have indeed withdrawn their materials from public domain or if they keep the public domain notice somewhere else — NickK (talk) 17:39, 2 July 2014 (UTC)
- Oppose, and the template should be deleted. The VOA is an entity of the Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG), which, pursuant to the Foreign Affairs Reform and Restructuring Act of 1998, became an "Independent Establishment" (5 U.S.C. § 104). This is a quasi-governmental status which is also held by, for example, the U.S. Postal Service (see 39 U.S.C. § 201), which we of course know can and does generate and hold copyrights. See Commons:Deletion requests/Template:PD-USGov-Military-Air Force Auxiliary for a similar issue in the past. Эlcobbola talk 20:17, 2 July 2014 (UTC)
- They did cite on their website that their materials are in public domain as late as in June 2013, thus a more thorough review may be needed — NickK (talk) 20:56, 2 July 2014 (UTC)
- That isn't really responsive to the points here: 1) File:Dorje Tseten.jpg was uploaded 1. July 2014, when the notice contained an NC provision. 2) The VOA may well have chosen to release its IP to the public domain at one point in time, but that was apparently just that - a choice, not a 17 U.S.C. § 105 mandate. The template erroneously implies the latter always to be the case. Эlcobbola talk 21:10, 2 July 2014 (UTC)

- Comment These are two movie posters and a portrait photograph. While we would usually assume good faith with respect to the portrait, the claim of "own work" on the film posters puts that in doubt. Usually, I would say that we need a license from the actual copyright holder of each item using the procedure at Commons:OTRS.
- However, I note that the linked licenses are in satisfactory form and are on the web site of the maker of the movies. It is therefore possible that these are OK, but I'd still prefer to see a license at OTRS.. Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 10:56, 3 July 2014 (UTC)

The undeletion discussion in the following section is now closed. Please do not make any edits to this archive.
This approach here is a sham. It was speedy tagged by Codename_Lisa. I converted it to a regular DR, I removed the speedy tag but the DR (link) function made a page reload of the original page. Then comes Fastily, here it is clearly visible (he don't recognize the clear visible DR) that he used a kind of bot for his admin work (at his own screenshots of course, he voted to keep). Both users are fully aware of what they are doing (as we can see here Commons:Deletion requests/Mac Screenshots).
- The same for File: Foobar2000 default.png.
At the same day (with the same issue) a speedy tag of Codename_Lisa were simply reverted (by McZusatz).[3]. That is also the only thing what I do now, good day. PS: Maybe you can wait what Commons:Deletion_requests/File:ReplayGainScanResults.PNG is saying. → User: Perhelion 09:25, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

5074 RCE photographs[edit]
5074 (yes, that's more than five thousand) of my uploads have been deleted at Commons:Deletion requests/RCE images without a valid reason. These files have been published at the RCE site. How do you think I could download them? For the reason for deletion Commons:Photographs of identifiable people is cited. We're talking about photographs of buildings here, not people. I'm really appalled by this process. Multichill (talk) 19:59, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

- Oppose any restore. It would seem that the Rijksdienst voor Cultureel Erfgoed have alerted us to problems with some of the images sourced from their website, that should not have been uploaded, apparently they were either not accessible via the search tool and only via a direct URL due to a bug which is now fixed; or have other copyright issues. Given that they have over 500,000 images and we are talking about 1% of those I think we can cut them some slack and believe it was not their intention for such works to be released to us and therefore we should we respect that and not host them. If we want outside bodies to contribute works to our project we need to respond in a positive way when issues like this arise, it is right and proper that we respect their wish and thank them for the 99% that are left.

- Oppose It is true that COM:Person is linked in the closing and is not actually the issue here. The issue is copyright and the privacy of images taken in private places without permission to publish them. Since these were available only by directly calling them up from the web site, it could also be argued that the general web site license was not applicable.
- So, we have a major contributor to Commons (2%+ of all of our images) who has told us that a small fraction of their total contribution is problematic. I think the deletion is appropriate. . Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 10:01, 5 July 2014 (UTC)

When adding a request:
- Make sure you are logged in if you have an account at Commons
- Use a descriptive subject/headline, such as
[[:File:Name of the file to undelete.jpg]] - Identify the file(s) in question if you didn't already do it in the subject/headline
- State the reasons for the request
- Sign and date your request by clicking the "Signature and timestamp" button (see image to the right) or by typing four tilde characters (

Please undelete the files of this delition request. Firstly, and as I already remarked, the delition request based on a wrong statement. Secondly there should be a discussion do decide whether or not a file is to delete. But there was no discussion. Thirdly the delition reasons are inapplicable.
- "I think it is a stretch to assume that "similar works" includes photographs and other flat works" is incomprehensible to me. Reliefs may be very flat, also facades and walls may be flat or at least take effect without relevant thicknes – like most signs. Facades and walls may include flat artwork like frescos, murals, and mosaics.
- "it certainly does not include text" is quite wrong. Reliefs may contain text. Moreover inscriptions (Category:Sculptures by type) are usually plain text and sometimes hard to tell apart from signs.
Certainly signs are not equal to sculpture and architecture, but they are similar in many ways. And nothing more than similarity is required in the current case! -- Ies (talk) 13:50, 6 July 2014 (UTC)
- This are photos of recent info boards, so we not talk about murals or mosaics here. Photographs and text are not "... a work of architecture or sculpture or similar works" but different kind of works explicitly listed as copyrighted works in the copyright law. See article 2 of the copyright law where sculptures (c) and architecture (d) are clearly separated from photographs (d) and literary works (Copyright (Amendment) Act No. IX of 2009). Therefore FOP is not applicable. --Martin H. (talk) 14:23, 6 July 2014 (UTC)
- The law calls out
- "... a work of architecture or sculpture or similar works"
- as being eligible for FOP. As I said in the DR closing, that phrase certainly does not include text -- text is covered by FOP in only a very few countries and this isn't one of them. Therefore, those images that show text are clearly copyvios.
- I also find no justification for believing that "similar works" includes photographs. Photographs are not similar to sculpture or architecture. . Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 16:31, 6 July 2014 (UTC)
- The law calls out
- Oppose per above. That a map or photograph is attached to some support structure does not magically make it a sculpture. Similarly, if I were to carve a page of a novel into stone, regardless of the classification of the resulting carving, the text still has a separate copyright (as a literary work). The Malta copyright act categories include "(a) paintings, drawings, etchings, lithographs, woodcuts, engravings and prints" and "(b) maps, plans, diagrams and three-dimensional works relative to geography [...]" which are separate from "(c) works of sculpture". One would thus expect the "or similar" verbiage to apply to other works in the "works of sculpture" category, which maps, text, and photos implicitly do not. Эlcobbola talk 16:52, 6 July 2014 (UTC)

Strong oppose As I stated in the recent DRs of Horvitz's works, while I could accept some of Horvitz's works being kept if they were of acceptable quality and weren't unduly self-promotional, this is not one of those works. This image is a stock image. It belongs on istockphoto, flickr or similar, not Commons or any other Wikimedia project. While stock imagery may be useful for some illustrations, it must make sense. This image does not. It's a person cupping his face with a blurred beach in the background. In my view, that alone would make it a marginal case. But given Horvitz's demonstrated promotional intent, the scales are tipped in my view. Moreover, I hope that consideration is given towards formally banning Horvitz from this project. —/Mendaliv/2¢/Δ's/ 20:57, 6 July 2014 (UTC)- Strong oppose I agree with both Ryūlóng & Mendaliv and have yet to see a photo that would be considered professional in any regard out of David Horvitz's "sockpuppet farm". Further adding to the confusion now is the ID of, USER:NOWA whom has claimed to be Horvitz, creating further WP:COI furthering the argument that he is here to disrupt the site. --WPPilot (talk) 21:38, 6 July 2014 (UTC)

Auguste Brouet, Wikicommons : dates and prints[edit]
Hi, related to the following deletions : https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Deletion_requests/Post-1923_works_by_Auguste_Brouet I have found a number of documents dating most prints (see my web site auguste-brouet.org - hum, it is mostly in french, though). These include notes by print dealers, by collectors, copyright data and exhibition catalogues. My conclusions are listed below
- File:CHANTEUSE_DE_CAFÉ_CONCERT_par_Brouet.JPG -> 1913
- File:Danseuse saluant by Brouet.jpg -> 1920
- File:La ballerine par Brouet.jpg -> I need to see the reproduction to be sure which print this is.
- File:La femme au chien par Brouet.jpg -> 1921
- File:Les Saltimbanques par Brouet.JPG -> 1920
- File:Selfportrait Auguste Brouet.jpg -> before 1923 (this one is borderline; it has been exhibited in Geneva 1-31 january 1923, so it was certainly made before that date--EtiBarthel (talk) 21:17, 6 July 2014 (UTC)!)
- File:Soldiers Camp by Brouet.jpg -> 1918 (copyright)

This image was clearly in scope as part of the Polandball set of images that we host. The nomination was based solely on the offensive nature of the subject, despite Commons not being a censored project. Also, the closing admin's choice to place artwork in captions suggests a bias in their reasoning to delete. Fry1989 eh? 23:22, 6 July 2014 (UTC)
- I will give Yann an opportunity to respond, but I Support undeletion. Don't get me wrong, I find the whole Polandball thing mindbogglingly stupid, but Polandball is (or was, I've never been good at keeping up with this stuff) a meme of considerable prominence, and Nazi Germany ball was (unlike a bunch of the images at Polandball) actually used in comics, so this is in scope.

File:Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima.png specifically the 4 June 2014 image, description and copyright tags[edit]
I uploaded an image from the cover of a newspaper, which as noted in the description, is from http://news.google.com/newspapers?id=UHZIAAAAIBAJ&sjid=o4IMAAAAIBAJ&pg=1024,6134586 , where you can see it was published w/o notice, to commons, using the same filename as a deleted image that is also a (DIFFERENT) derivative of the same famous photograph. This means that from a copyright law perspective, it's quite a different image indeed. The copyright status of the image I uploaded is PD because it was published w/o a copyright notice, and I've provided rock solid proof of that. So I expect the folks who were angered by the deletion will be happier with this version in place than with nothing here, and expected those who were pleased by the deletion would be OK with this version being here as well. Just the same, someone acting like a wingnut cowboy has deleted it and won't discuss it. I wish there was a way to de-admin Denniss... NOTE: THERE WAS NO DELETION DISCUSSION OF THIS FILE. TOTALLY OUT OF PROCESS DELETION.
Request temporary undeletion BECAUSE THE image, description and copyright tags WERE COMPLETE AND THOROUGH.--Elvey (talk) 06:57, 7 July 2014 (UTC)
- Comment Relevant DR is Commons:Deletion requests/File:Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima.png. Yann (talk) 08:05, 7 July 2014 (UTC)
- No, Yann. That's for a different image. Please don't spread false information. Please READ and respond to the request. What part of "NOTE: THERE WAS NO DELETION DISCUSSION OF THIS FILE." do you not understand? What part of "it's quite a different image indeed" do you not understand? --Elvey (talk) 03:22, 8 July 2014 (UTC)
- Support After reading the DR, I support undeletion. I think Pete's comment is the most relevant: Unless we are adopting stronger standards than these federal agencies (which I believe would be silly), I think we have enough information to close this ticket. It's reasonable to guess that AP's lawyers would assert that there is still an active copyright, even if they're wrong; what would we do in that event, delete the file? In the absence of evidence to the contrary, I think it's appropriate to assume NARA and the LoC did their jobs and got this right. Yann (talk) 08:19, 7 July 2014 (UTC)
- Oppose There may have been examples published without notice but the original has always been copyrighted and the copyright subsequently registered/renewed. The no notice publication in a newspaper is irrelevant for this case as a failure to put a correct notice regarding source/author/copyright does not tangle the original's copyright. The image was speedy deleted because it was uploaded in known violation of this DR and its outcome and for being a copyvio. --Denniss (talk) 10:16, 7 July 2014 (UTC)
- You should be ashamed of yourself for falsely accusing me of intentionally violating an existing DR. I didn't violate an existing DR; you should retract what I believe is an unfounded, malicious, defensive, false accusation. You did not provide evidence that a copyright on the image I uploaded has been registered/renewed, or retracted what I see to be an unfounded claim, or provide any evidence that the renewal applies to both images. I don't dispute that a copyright on the image previously uploaded has been registered/renewed. --Elvey (talk) 03:22, 8 July 2014 (UTC)
- OpposeThe image on the cover of the Youngstown Vindicator cited by Elvey is not relevant. Copyright notices in newspapers and other periodicals did not have to appear on every photograph and article -- the only required notice was in one place. Even if the Vindicator did not have a general copyright notice -- and I can't find one -- that does not affect the copyright on AP photographs. The omission of notice by a third party does not affect the copyright unless the omission was deliberate and was done with the permission of the copyright holder. . Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 12:19, 7 July 2014 (UTC)
- I would agree if there was any basis in law for your claim that the only required notice was in one place. In fact there is plenty of basis in law for the opposite. I see no evidence that the notice was omitted in violation of an express requirement in writing, binding on the Youngstown Vindicator, that, as a condition of the copyright owner's authorization of the public distribution of copies, they bear the prescribed notice.
- Withdrawn. On the other hand, § 405 suggests enough doubt that I don't see a chance of this surviving references to the precautionary principle. --Elvey (talk) 03:22, 8 July 2014 (UTC)
- Oppose per Denniss and Jim --Steinsplitter (talk) 14:34, 7 July 2014 (UTC)
- Oppose This case highlights the dangers of relying on "it was published w/o a copyright notice therefore there is no copyright". as Jim points out if the omission of notice by a third party was done contra to requirement from the copyright holder then that does not invalidate the copyright. Also when a publisher uses an image without the consent of the copyright holder such as fair use does not invalidate the copyright. LGA talkedits 21:54, 7 July 2014 (UTC)

User LX deleted a file I uploaded to Commons some days ago. It was a vector graphic showing the first logo ever used by the Basque Country's public radio and television corporation, Euskal Irrati Telebista. It was intended to be someday used on its articles on Wikipedia. I strongly believe that Basque people, and just everyone in the world, have full right to see a good picture of this public broadcaster's former logo, just as they can see the current one.
The problem might have been that I specified wrong licensing information on the file. I was the author of the vector file itself, but not the designer of the artwork it depicts, which was done over 30 years ago by other people. This is the reason why I never wanted to say that "I was the author" of it, and wrote the name of the corporation instead. I also specified "Google" as the source of the picture, since I actually took a version the logo from it, in order to generate the final graphics. I also applied a template to tell readers that it only contained shapes and/or text, and therefore, it had no copyright restriction, and was in the Public Domain. It was the logo of an organization until 1999, but never a trademark.
Of course, I would like to have it allowed back into Commons. It took me some hours of my life to vectorize it, and I must demand respect for my efforts and contributions. I really cannot understand why some other logos in the "Euskal Telebista logos" category can be accepted, while most of them are fake, or not accurate enough, while mine was indeed. I promise to improve the accuracy of the licensing info. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Euskaltzain (talk • contribs) 11:41, 9 July 2014 (UTC)
- Oppose The problem here is that your work is a derivative work of the original logo and therefore infringes on the logo's copyright. Thirty years may seem like a long time, but copyright lasts a very long time -- in Spain it lasts 70 years after the death of the creator, or 80 years if the creator died before 1987. If the creator cannot be identified, it lasts for 70 years from first use.
- Of course we respect your efforts -- the logo is well done -- but we cannot overcome the copyright issues without a license from the organization. . Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 12:58, 9 July 2014 (UTC)
- For the record, I did not delete anything. (I can't, since I'm not an administrator.) As clearly shown in the deletion log displayed if you click the filename above, the deletion was carried out by NahidSultan. I nominated it for deletion because the stated PD rationale clearly did not apply. {{PD-textlogo}} is only for logos that consist entirely of simple geometric shapes and/or text. The graphics in this logo are not simple geometric shapes. I can see no other reason why the logo would be in the public domain, and no such reason has been presented above, so Oppose. —LX (talk, contribs) 13:21, 9 July 2014 (UTC)

Hi, this image shouldn' be deleted because :

While it's possible that this logo could be too simple for copyright protection, your affiliation with the firm, the title of the image, and the speedy deletion of the en.wiki article suggest the logo is not within COM:SCOPE (be it COM:ADVERT or otherwise).

Anyway the jpeg file uploaded is/was created by the user scanning an original photo, from the original 1950s photos, that were in possession of the subject's daughter, who happens to be the user's aunt.

- what argument is false, the wife of Julio Ríos doesn't give the authorization? Ezarateesteban 15:33, 9 July 2014 (UTC)
- This is what happened. The file was deleted as a copyrightviolation by Ezarate and was originally uploaded by Marinna. Marinna reuploaded the file without a request for undeletion but evidence of permission was send to OTRS. Jcb processed the ticket and added the correct atribution. At 16 june Marinna removed OTRS-ticket and changed the correct artibution to a wrongfull one. Eitght minutes later he correct this. And almost an hour later he undid his own correction. Jcb corrects this and suddenly a sock or meatpupet shows up to add the wrong atribution again. On the second of july an obvious meatpuppet changes the atribution back to the wrong one. Jcb corrected it in the meantime. After this meatpuppet starts to editwar Jcb nominates the file for deletion. Suddenly Ezerate shows up in the DR with mostly ad hominem. Later Jcb found out that the uploader was canvassing. Tell me? Does this look okey to you Ezerate? It does not look okey to me and yet nobody gave any arguments why atributing the subject instead of the photographer was correct. Natuur12 (talk) 16:37, 9 July 2014 (UTC)

(If you enter the debate/ edit war on behave of someone else I would call it meatpuppetry epecially since that persons have not been really active on Commons.)

Support I certainly agree that there is a lot of nonsense associated with this file and deletion, but, at the end of the day, we have an image with a valid OTRS explaining that the subject's wife took it after he set it up. Since the OTRS e-mail came from the contact e-mail on the subject's web site, I think we can safely assume that it is a genuine permission. Given that, I'm inclined to grumble at the bad actors and restore the image. . Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 20:42, 9 July 2014 (UTC)

File was nominated and deleted before I had a chance to comment, in part due to the July 4 holiday and work duties taking me away of Commons duty. The image is of value because it shows an automated photo effect made available to users of Mac Os X application Photo Booth. Photo Booth allows for introducing any one of 6 distortions of which this one was the "squaring effect". Granted, the file did not YET contain a good description, but the metadata indicated Photo Booth. Also, this is a picture of a Wikipedian (me), and pictures of Wikipedians are in scope. Again, the file did not contain YET the appropriate categorization (or description). I will fix those when the image is restored. Thank you. --Mareklug talk 17:49, 10 July 2014 (UTC)

Por otro lado se pone como segunda referencia búsquedas de google antes de la fecha mencionada, pero de la misma manera no se tiene en cuenta que google toma las fechas de creación de las páginas, si colocamos búsqueda únicamente de imágenes antes de esa fecha no obtendremos ningún resultado, pues la imagen fue subida por primera vez desde mi cuenta en Wikimedia Commons.

- Oppose 1) Liliane is the subject of the photos; permission needs to come from the author (i.e., the photographer). If the photographer transferred rights to Liliane, evidence of the same needs to be submitted using the procedure at COM:OTRS. 2) The rest is not an acceptable rationale - see #5 on COM:PRP.

Deletion of the pictures on "LALY VALLADE" wiki page. (FR)
Hello, you deleted the picture I added on Laly's profile for possible copyright infringement. We appreciate your efforts to protect intellectual rights but in this case we own the rights on that picture... My name on Wiki is Tristan Seagal, I'm Laly's husband and partner in her production company: Laly Production LLC, we are based in USA (Las Vegas) and can be reached by email: laly.productions@gmail.com, or by phone: +1 (702) 372 9754. We are registered under the licence # NV20111421030. As a production company we off course produce and shoot tons of pictures and videos and we use this shooting for promotional purpose and communication on Laly. How can we remove the deletion tag and post this pic on her wikipedia profile? Thanks a lot for your time and help! Best regards.
here is Laly's wikipedia page: http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laly

Dear Sir/Madam,
I would like to confirm that the above mentioned image was taken by myself and the person in question is my brother. He passed away on 24th June 2014 and I created a wiki page for him and he was a very popular person in Mauritius. What would I be required to do to reinstate the picture?
Thanks.

Reason: This image is cropped from the original image File:A Pink at 2014 K-pop Awards red carpet 01.jpg by me, Keaclamviectot. The original image's copyright allows me to adapt the work, in this case, it allows me crop the image.
I think this image is deleted by mistake.
I hope you will undelete this image and 2 following image:
- File:Park Cho-rong at 2014 K-pop Awards red carpet..jpg
- File:Son Na-eun at 2014 K-pop Awards red carpet..jpg
(these 3 images are cropped together from the original image).

Done Keaclamviectot: The CC-BY logo was really hard to spot (the people that put it up for deletion could easily have missed it; I did the first time I looked at the page too), and I had to dig into the inspect element mode in Firefox and root around the website to verify that it was CC-BY-2.0-KR specifically, but everything checks out.I've undeleted the files and added the {{LicenseReview}} template to each of them, so they won't get deleted again.

Files in Category:Pierre Lemaitre[edit]
As per Commons:Deletion requests/Files in Category:Pierre Lemaitre and this recent Village Pump discussion, the files in question have been deleted with no alternative offered, neither from the uploader nor the subject nor another(s). As I said at Village Pump and a discussion with a WMF staff, I fear that Commons:Courtesy deletions (Which is the reason of the deletions) can be misused by thousands of public figures as a form of censorship at this way, since "just they don't like hosting their image here", and will possibly affect Wikipedia's NPOV policy, and will significantly affect WMF's licensing policy, since en:Wikipedia:Non-free content: "Non-free content should not be used when a freely licensed file that serves the same purpose can reasonably be expected to be uploaded, as is the case for almost all portraits of living people." (In fact, no Wikimedia project may allow fair use for such images according to foundation:Resolution:Licensing policy), If we fail to get free images of him who is a world-known writer and has his articles on several Wikipedia editions, including English Wikipedia. Although I'm not sure whether the subject refused hosting his images taken by the uploader at Salon du livre de Paris 2014 specifically or hosting any his images on Commons, I request undeletion of Files in Category:Pierre Lemaitre due to the reasons as I mentioned above, and French law would permit Files in Category:Pierre Lemaitre because of the reason that the images depicting public figures performing their public functions or activities (A world-known author perfoming his normal business in a public event). --Puramyun31 (talk) 11:58, 19 July 2014 (UTC)
- Oppose - It is a pitty that there is no recplacement but I see no problems with this courtesy deletion myself. This should not be a big deal. Courtesy deletions are allowed per policy and in this case I think that it is for the better. Natuur12 (talk) 14:05, 19 July 2014 (UTC)
- Oppose see Natuur12's comment. --Steinsplitter (talk) 14:07, 19 July 2014 (UTC)
- Support User:Natuur12 and User:Steinsplitter, please note that Commons:Courtesy deletions is not policy -- it has not achieved the consensus required to become policy. In fact, it is nothing more than a proposal that has not gathered any particular community consensus. Furthermore, it says nothing about deletion at the request of the subject -- only at the request of the uploader, and then only relatively soon after the upload because of a mistake or change of heart. I strongly agree with User:Puramyun31 that we should not allow notable public figures to censor or eliminate images we have of them. . Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 16:03, 19 July 2014 (UTC)
- @Jim, Commons:Deletion policy which is an policy says: Even when not required to do so for legal or other policy reasons, Commons may at times choose to delete images, for example as a goodwill gesture to a photographer who has made a mistake. so imho it is allowed to do a courtesy deletion when the subject wants the images gone. Natuur12 (talk) 16:55, 19 July 2014 (UTC)
- Support While I am not entirely opposed to courtesy deletion, I believe it should not be used without very good reasons, and so far, I have not seen any convincing argument as to why it should be applied in this case. Unfortunately, there was no link or quote of the subject's supposed request in the deletion discussion, but I assume if there had been any reasons more compelling than "do not want!", they would have been mentioned. Natuur12's comment does not provide any further enlightenment either. Why should deletion of free content with no replacement not be a big deal, and why is it for the better in this case? —LX (talk, contribs) 16:31, 19 July 2014 (UTC)
- It is for the better since the subject doesn't look like prince charming on that images. Natuur12 (talk) 16:55, 19 July 2014 (UTC)
- I have been behind a couple of celebrity photo deletions this year, in those cases there were either direct invasion of privacy issues, or the photograph could be replaced by a better free alternative. It is not the norm on Commons for us to delete the only photographs of a notable person (such as this Prix Goncourt-winning author) when there are no alternative images available. Yes the photograph may not have been flattering, however unless there was an element of intrusion, such as being ill, drunk, surprised by a fan when excessively tired, or similar which might be argued against IDENT, being "prince charming" is a poor rationale for a courtesy deletion, especially when the subject is not notable for their physical appearance. --Fæ (talk) 17:13, 19 July 2014 (UTC)
- It is for the better since the subject doesn't look like prince charming on that images. Natuur12 (talk) 16:55, 19 July 2014 (UTC)
- Support If the courtesy deletion was due to matters that a model or photographer would like to keep private, then an OTRS ticket could be quoted, if this were an oversight matter then that can be stated in the deletion log. Courtesy deletions are often sensible, but there needs to be a bit more evidence than being because it is possible.
- PS I have noticed ticket:2014040810004537, mostly in relation to fr.wp; if this is related, it would be useful to make that clear, even if the contents should be kept confidential as a courtesy. --Fæ (talk) 16:49, 19 July 2014 (UTC)
- Support, per LX, Jim, and Fae. -- Tuválkin ✉ 16:43, 19 July 2014 (UTC)
- Support After reading the ticket (ticket:2014040810004537) and looking at the pictures, I think there is no valid reason to keep them deleted. Regards, Yann (talk) 18:02, 19 July 2014 (UTC)
- Support for a normal 7 day DR. Since the OP and closer are from the same community and the two minute gap smells like an arranged case, I failed to see neutrality and community approval for this deletion. BTW, I'm a strong supporter of "courtesy deletions for subject or author/uploader interests". (If there is a special reason for such a speedy deletion, I will change my mind.) Jee 02:42, 20 July 2014 (UTC)
- Please avoid making heavy implications of a conspiracy or conflict of interest, this can only serve to make everyone defensive. Reporting evidence and a reasonable presumption of good faith is sufficient here. --Fæ (talk) 08:03, 20 July 2014 (UTC)
Done There is no consensus for this courtesy deletion despite my personal opinion ;). There is no need to keep them deleted any longer. Natuur12 (talk) 10:30, 20 July 2014 (UTC)

As stated on the Talk page for the proposed deletion of this photo, I contacted the author of the photo, Jason Wallis, on June 29th via e-mail and asked for him to re-license the photo he took under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-Sharealike 3.0 Unported License. He responded to me on the same day and agreed to the re-license of the original photo to Creative Commons Attribution-Sharealike 3.0 Unported License. I uploaded the picture today and stated that in the original upload, but the photo has subsequently deleted. Please Undelete this image, or tell me what I need to do to verify the re-license of the image.
To restate, I received permission from the original copyright holder to upload this image and have it licensed as {{Cc-by-sa-3.0}}.

I added the file the first time with the remarks "with permission from Konstanze Krueger" as it it law in some countries to ask the person on the picture to show the picture in the web. An I did not write down my ownership. This was the reason to delete the file the first time
The second picture was uploaded with the right permissions and was accepted. I am not able to see what could be wrong this time I did an upload of the original picture also to show that I am the owner of the original picture.

According to the Australian government the 1920s portrait it was taken from is in the public domain now.
Jodyrootes (talk) 03:29, 20 July 2014 (UTC)
- Oppose A 1920's Australian portrait is out of copyright only if the artist died before 1944. That has not been demonstrated and while the Australian Government may have said it, we would need a cite before restoring it.
- However, copyright is not the principal issue here. The issue is that this is an extreme magnification that shows a blob. Even given the title, I cannot see a Blue Ensign here -- I can barely see that it might be a flag. Therefore it is not at all clear that this has a useful educational purpose. . Jim . . . .

Please could you undelete the file Corrida poster spain 1955.JPG, deleted yesterday around 23:30 UTC by the user named Steinsplitter. The quoted reason for deletion is No license since 2014-07-15.
Reason for asking: yesterday around 18:45 UTC I have tagged the file with a license which I think is proper (CC BY-SA 3.0). I do not understand why the person who deleted the file wrote "no license", since for 5 hours the license had been there.
All right, I am not sure the license is appropriate (twice I have sent e-mail to OTRS permissions forwarding a permission from the image holder - with no reply, I have logged an issue on helpdesk (and than applied the advise suggested), I have explained the issue on the image talkpage). In this case, I would understand we would have a discussion on the license itself and if my license is found inappropriate and no alternative appropriate license is identified, the file gets deleted.
cheers, (Dd1495 (talk) 11:56, 23 July 2014 (UTC))
- Oppose Please understand that Commons gets around 10,000 new images every day and that around 1,600 images are deleted every day. Ten administrators do most of that work and they simply do not have time to have detailed conversations about deletions. OTRS is, like all of WMF, staffed by volunteers. There are not enough of them either, so OTRS often runs a backlog of several weeks. It would, of course, be better to offer more and quicker communication to uploaders like yourself, but without more people that simply isn't possible.
- The source site, bibliotecadigital.carm.es, is apparently down at the moment, so I can't see what license is on the site. However, there is no reason to believe that a poster from 1955 is in the public domain. Spain was 80 years pma until recently, which means that any work later than 1934 must be under copyright and any work later than 1875 is suspect.
- There are, of course, circumstances under which the library could own the copyright -- if the creator of the poster had explicitly deeded the copyright to the library in writing, but that is not usually the case for this kind of material. Even if that is the case,
- "its usage on wiki has been explicitly permitted in an e-mail note, forwarded to the OTRS permissions"
- is not sufficient on two grounds. First, "usage on wiki" is not sufficient. We require a free license to use images anywhere for any purpose, including commercial use and derivative works. Second, we do not generally accept forwarded permissions. It is, unfortunately, too easy to counterfeit a permission and send the result to OTRS, so we generally require that the license come directly from the source of the image. . Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 12:35, 23 July 2014 (UTC)
Hi Jim and all,
Thanks for your prompt reply. A couple of points:
- Your reply does not explain why my image was deleted as having no license while in fact it did had a license tagged to it
- You write we require a free license to use images anywhere… etc. I have obtained an explicit permission to upload the image as copyright free into wiki with the only reservation that the source is quoted. Doesn’t such an explicit permission cover a free license to use images anywhere…?
- You write we do not generally accept forwarded permissions. This leaves me puzzled. An instruction on https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/OTRS says clearly (in case one has received permission to upload the image to Commons): Please forward us the permission to the address listed above – which is exactly what I have done. :-/
- You write that the source site, bibliotecadigital.carm.es, is apparently down at the moment, so I can't see…. I am sorry about it. I had successfully accessed the site 1 hour before you tried and few hours later. Looks like you have suffered from an extremely bad luck. I will send the Regional Library of Murcia a note asking to explain why they were not accessible on July 23 mid-day.
- You write there is no reason to believe that a poster from 1955 is in the public domain. Spain was 80 years pma until recently, which means that any work later than 1934 must be under copyright and any work later than 1875 is suspect. Well, I have written on the image talk page what I had been advised on the commons helpdesk and linked it, not sure whether you had a chance to read, anyway here it goes: IMHO Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported (CC BY-SA 3.0) license for the photograph, according to Europeana User contributions, article 5. The poster itself should be PD, according to Com:CRT#Spain The pieces of work situated permanently in parks, streets, squares and other public ways can be reproduced, distributed and communicated freely by using paintings, drawings, photographies and audiovisual procedures. A poster glued or thumbtacked to a wall/pole is permanently displayed. Otherwise (unknown author) it would be in the public domain 70 years after publication. I am neither a lawyer nor a law expert, so not sure whether this is correct: hope someone more competent can pronounce here where the truth is.
- You write Please understand that Commons gets… . I do understand that wiki is the work of all of us, the volunteers, and I like to get it hammered down like in your note. I also appreciate that you admins have a tough job, especially at the customer end ;-). What I do not understand is why a license-tagged image gets deleted as untagged, why an instruction says to forward while an admin says not to forwards, why an admin can’t access a site while I can the whole day long, why a legally unclear case is closed by an arbitrary decision with no discussion on it, and why some users are demanded to stick to deadlines why the others can quote excuses.
- Summary: I believe the image in question is license-free as explained in point e). I again ask the image to be undeleted.
cheers (Dd1495 (talk) 23:41, 23 July 2014 (UTC))
Hello again,
one more thing. Since I am not an expert on Spanish copyright law (and I guess neither are you) to pronounce on what I think is a legally unclear issue, why don't we apply common sense? And the comon sense is as follows:
there is a self-government of the region of Murcia. This self-government maintains a library. A person representing this library sends me a note saying the image is copyright free. Do you feel expert enough to challenge one of the Spanish regional governments and tell them you know Spanish law better?
(Dd1495 (talk) 07:07, 24 July 2014 (UTC))

Picture is public domain, as source is NTSB. The picture can be found in an NTSB report (see page 8 of original report AAR90-01, superseded by page 9 of AAR92-02.pdf). In a previous discussion, I quoted AAR92-3.pdf as a source, which does not contain the picture in question. Thus it was deleted.

This image were nominated by Jim (talk · contribs) and therefore deleted by Steinsplitter (talk · contribs), argumenting than ArcSoft is the copyright holder due to a copyright notice in the EXIF. I opened a thread in the Village Pump to discuss this huge copyright problem.
So please restore this image inmediatelly until the discussion closes, because an imaging company can't take the copyright of the images made by end users using their products, that is ridiculous. --Amitie 10g (talk) 06:40, 20 July 2014 (UTC)
- Support The camera manufacturer is certainly not the copyright holder. Yann (talk) 08:38, 20 July 2014 (UTC)
- Oppose How is it that you are both so sure that the camera manufacturer is not the copyright holder? Camera manufacturers take pictures with their equipment to use in their advertising all the time. ArcSoft clearly appears in the EXIF as the copyright holder. It's hard for me to believe that the camera manufacturer makes any attempt to claim copyright on images that don't belong to it -- customers would not allow that.
- Absolutely no evidence has been offered by User:Amitie 10g that this was, in fact, taken by User:Terryyes15, as claimed. Although we usually assume good faith, when a user's only uploads are marked in the EXIF as copyrighted by someone else, we drop that assumption. Also, the uploader, Terryyes15, has used at least one sock in this effort, another reason to doubt his good faith. Terryyes15 has not appeared here or at the DR in support, even though he had been active on Commons in the last week.
- Finally, this was obviously taken in a medical setting. If ArcSoft does not own the copyright, then who does? As in the case of medical X-rays, it is not clear whether the technician who pushed the button or his employer owns the resulting image.
- . Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 11:16, 20 July 2014 (UTC)
- Jim, the evidences are in the thread in the Village Pump opened by me. There is exposed various images that has been used inm ArcSoft products used by end users. Also, a little research in Wikipedia answers them, too. Amitie 10g (talk) 18:01, 20 July 2014 (UTC)
- @Jim: Although I agree that "camera manufacturers take pictures with their equipment to use in their advertising", I really think that it wasn't the case here. These are certainly not images that could be used as advertising because of the subject. Beside, I find the quality really poor for professional works used as advertising. It is IMO very much probable that the default setting has ArcSoft in the EXIF data, and the photographer was not aware of that. Mind you most people who own a camera don't know what is EXIF data, and much less how to change the default settings. Did you see these? File:ArcSoft Image344.jpg, File:Image196_finanzas.jpg. These are certainly not advertising pictures. Regards, Yann (talk) 11:30, 20 July 2014 (UTC)
- OK, that makes sense, particularly the last two pix you cite. However, that still leaves us with an uploader who uses at least one sock and who has not bothered to respond here or at the DR, as well as the question of who owns the copyright to images taken in this kind of setting. Under the circumstances, I am very much disinclined to assume good faith and accept that these are actually Own Work. . Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 12:49, 20 July 2014 (UTC)
- ArcSoft is a software company who products are usually bundled with equipments like my Panasonic FZ28. Such tools usually add their names in author field while processing an image. No comment about other matters. Jee 13:28, 20 July 2014 (UTC)
- Yes, Suprapubic catheter is most probably a sock (was it formally checked by a CU?), but this gives little information for or against the assumption that Terryyes15 owns the copyright. I think asking once more may be useful. Regards, Yann (talk) 14:17, 20 July 2014 (UTC)

- Yes, I checked it and although we can never be absolutely sure about socks, this is as strongly indicated as any I have seen.
- To summarize, we have a user with 93 edits on Commons, 48 of which have been deleted for one reason or another. He has used at least one sockpuppet. He has not responded to this DR or UnDR. All of his uploads are suspect first because in a medical setting it is not clear who owns the copyright and second because of his record. I see no reason to assume good faith and accept that he both actually took this image and that he actually owns the copyright and has the right to freely license it. . Jim . . . .

Also, due "theorical" Fair-use, I've deleted some logos which should be allowed in Commons. They are simple geometrical forms so no Copyright elygibility at all should be considered.

- At least the PSPV logo is (basically) a romboidal-stripped logo like a simplified version fo the coat of arms of Valencia. The UPV and the ENV logos can have more art (ENV for sure) but PSPV was very simple.--Coentor (talk) 18:25, 24 July 2014 (UTC)
- See File:Royal arms of Aragon (Lozenge-shaped).svg.--Coentor (talk) 18:26, 24 July 2014 (UTC)
- The Coat of arms of Valencia is from at least the 14th century. It is here because it is PD due to age, certainly not due to simplicity. File:Royal arms of Aragon (Lozenge-shaped).svg is even older. Per Feist v. Rural, "the requisite level of [originality] is extremely low; even a slight amount will suffice. The vast majority of works make the grade quite easily, as they possess some creative spark, no matter how crude, humble or obvious it might be." The PSPV logo appears sufficiently different (i.e., original) at least to trigger COM:PRP in the absence of Spanish case law to provide guidance. If you have examples of Spanish case law related to the threshold of originality, that would be helpful; OTHERSTUFF is not persuasive. Эlcobbola talk 19:27, 24 July 2014 (UTC)

The fact that the object has been drawn and photographed and that images have been published without notice is irrelevant to the copyright status of the object itself. . Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 10:25, 24 July 2014 (UTC)
- Oppose per Jim . Closures are based on weight of the argument(s), not volume. Copyright subsists "in original works of authorship fixed in any tangible medium of expression" (17 U.S.C.§ 102). The wheel/tire is original, has an author, and is fixed in a tangible medium. The arguments for retention on the basis that it does not seem a "sculpture" in the colloquial sense are uninformed at best. The reason cars, chairs, etc. escape this otherwise all-encompassing scope is that they are useful articles - meaning they have an intrinsic utilitarian function. While this sculpture may have once been part of a Ferris wheel, we know from Kieselstein-Cord v. Accessories by Pearl Inc., 632 F. 2d 989 (2nd Cir. 1980) that useful articles (there, belt buckles) whose utilitarian function (part of a clothing article) is subordinate to their aesthetic use (as jewelry) are eligible for copyright protection. Here, the purported utilitarian function (part of an amusement park ride) was subordinate to the aesthetic use as sculpture. Indeed, the sculpture’s current use plainly demonstrates the intention for and primary purpose of aesthetic use; to claim otherwise is disingenuous. As a Ferris wheel need not look like a wheel/tire to function, Jim may also be quite right that there wasn't even a subordinate utility to begin with (indeed, the proponents of retention made no analysis or consideration of the conceptual separability doctrine, as they similarly ignored the legal definition of copy.)

Why was it deleted? It says "Per Stafan" but that vote was neither 50% +1 infavor of Keeping or Deleting. There simply was no consensus on second vote. CaribDigita (talk) 07:05, 24 July 2014 (UTC)
- Oppose DRs are not votes.
- "The debates are not votes, and the closing admin will apply copyright law and Commons policy to the best of his or her ability in determining whether the file should be deleted or kept. Any expressed consensus will be taken into account so far as possible, but consensus can never trump copyright law nor can it override Commons Policy." from Commons:Deletion_requests#Overview
- Barbados became independent in 1966. We do not have a summary of its copyright law, but under a 70 year rule, the coat of arms of the nation will be under copyright until at least 1/1/2037. Even under the 50 year rule common in the Commonwealth for government works, it will be under copyright until 1/1/2017. . Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 10:06, 24 July 2014 (UTC)
- Oppose Barbados is pma 50, and the creator (Neville C. Connell) died in 1973, thus not PD until 1.1.2024. Alternatively, if this is "folklore" as defined by Barbados Copyright Law ("all literary and artistic works that (a) constitute a basic element of the traditional and cultural heritage of Barbados; (b) were created in Barbados by various groups of the community; and (c) survive from generation to generation") then "the rights of the author vest in the Crown to the same extent as if the Crown had been the original creator of the folklore" (s.22(5)). I understand from Commons:Copyright_rules_by_territory#Crown_copyright that "Crown copyright works have a basic term of protection of 50 years from date of commercial publication." As this crest was presented in 1966, it would not be PD until at least 1.1.2017, per Jim. Эlcobbola talk 16:25, 24 July 2014 (UTC)

File:Jake Headshot 2011.jpg
Reason for request:
The file was deleted because of the following: "• 17:25, 18 July 2014 Krd (talk | contribs) deleted page File:Jake Headshot 2011.jpg (Copyright violation: http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.designboom.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/jake_barton_local_projects_designboom_01.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.designboom.com/design/interview-with-jake-barton-local-projects-03...)

The admin that deleted the file claims a copyright violation - that is, claims that the image belongs to Designboom.com. As with the other sites this photo was published on, the image was given to the sites by Jake Barton, and was taken for him. The image does not belong to designboom.com. Jake Barton has given permission to make this image public, and thus post it on Wikipedia.

File:ArcSoft Image100.jpg (again)[edit]
I requested the undeletion of this file, and I provided suficient evidence than ArcSoft Inc. is not actually the copyright holder of many images taken using the ArcSoft USB Webcam. Some files affected to a deletion was File:ArcSoft Image344.jpg and File:Image196_finanzas.jpg (by COM:SCOPE, but not for Copyvio).
I need to repeat: ArcSoft Inc. (see the article before continuing) is an imaging and multimedia company, and as them, they can't take the copyright of the files generated or procesed in their products, used by the consumers. A simple copyright notice added automatically by an USB Webcam (mostly used by end and home users) does not mean than ArcSoft is the actual copyright holder. The same case is if Photoshop puts Copyright by Adobe in a file edited by an end user, that is ridiculous, really ridiculous.
I understand the problem very well. Unfortunatelly, various admins are failing to do a deep research before deleting files and simply ignoring the evidences presented, and their actions may be harmful to Commons and the community. A huge problem that may make a precedent in Commons about the relationship between Copyright and Vendor-Consumer (and specially, the consumer rights and the laws to protect them, pressent in almost all countries).
I'm technically repeating that I said laterly. Is necesary to explain this case with pears and apples in order to the rest of the community understand the obvious? This is not an unclear copyright status issue, is a severe misunderstanding of an obvious problem with the end users and the products manufactured by ArcSoft and pruchased by they.
Please be serious in this second UnDR discussion. If I opened a second UnDR is because I have solid reasons and evidence than the file should be restored. --Amitie 10g (talk) 05:04, 25 July 2014 (UTC)
- Comment I agree with you that ArcSoft is not the copyright holder. However, in the last UnDR discussion, Jim made some useful points about the copyright status of these files. Do you have any imput about these? See Commons:Undeletion_requests/Archive#File:ArcSoft_Image100.jpg or [6]. Regards, Yann (talk) 05:40, 25 July 2014 (UTC)
- Oppose It is obvious that you have not bothered to read the previous UnDR. Therefore you are simply wasting our time. By halfway through the last UnDR, all the parties agreed that the ArcSoft copyright notice was not an issue -- therefore all of your comments above completely miss the point.
- However, we had serious doubts that the uploader actually owned the copyright. That was based on the fact that over half of his Commons edits (48 of 93) have been deleted, that he has used at least one sockpuppet to edit on Commons, and that, in a medical setting, it is unclear who owns the copyright -- the photographer or the institution. . Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 09:47, 25 July 2014 (UTC)
- Jim, but is obvious than ArcSoft Inc. is not the copyright holder of the file and the all files affected (not limited than the exposed here), the actual origin of this discussion. The file have many copyright issues, but (I repeat) a vendor can't take the copyright of the works made by it's end users.
- And also, the tread that I've opened in the Village Pump was intened for a general discussion about this copyright issue, and not limited to the files affected by the Copyright by Arcsoft in the EXIF.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Amitie 10g (talk • contribs) 18:15, 25 July 2014 (UTC)
Oppose per Jim. --Steinsplitter (talk) 18:20, 25 July 2014 (UTC)
Not done per previous closure and the reiterations above. Again, for those with difficulty reading: consensus is against undeletion not because of anything related to Arcsoft, but because there is significant doubt that 1) the uploader created these images given a history of copyvios (i.e., it is suspected that someone other than the uploader may have used an Arcsoft device to take the images. That person--not Arcsoft, of course--would need to license them freely); and 2) there is uncertainty regarding whether medical images are considered works for hire (i.e., property of the institution rather than the doctor/employee).

This file was deleted for no substantive factual reason whatever, but merely a verbal/semantic equivocation on the word "Source". Template:Blason-fr-en-it has fields for the sources of English-language, French-language, and Italian-language heraldic descriptions of the coat of arms. These fields are exactly the same as the "ref-en" and "ref-fr" fields of Template:COAInformation (scroll down to the filled-out example on the Template:COAInformation page to see how this is intended to be used). This has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with the image source, and it's semi-stupid that this image was deleted merely because one user incorrectly conflated heraldic description source with image source (two completely different things)... AnonMoos (talk) 19:54, 26 July 2014 (UTC)
- Commons:SOURCE would require that the source/original is in the public domain, so addressing that aspect seems relevant. Demonstrate that and the interpretation would seem irrelevant, and be evidence based. — billinghurst sDrewth 10:24, 27 July 2014 (UTC)
- Billinghurst -- The file was uploaded using the template Template:Blason-fr-en-it with all critically necessary fields in that template filled out. If Template:Blason-fr-en-it is inadequate, then the response should be to deal with that template as a whole in all its occurrences, but not take it out on one individual file. Especially a file should not be deleted on a mere verbal quibble, given that the sourceen=, sourcefr=, and sourceit= fields of Template:Blason-fr-en-it have nothing to do with image source in the usual sense... Also, I'm pretty sure that I remember that it was under a CC-license (not public domain), and is overall not particularly different from many thousands of other uploader-created SVG coats of arms images (I've uploaded a few myself). -- AnonMoos (talk) 17:17, 27 July 2014 (UTC)

Simple geometric shapes are public domain as {{PD-trivial}}. Eagle came from File:Coat of Arms of the Russian Federation.svg - this image is public domain as {{PD-RU-exempt}}. Coats of arms of Luhansk is public domain as {{PD-UA-exempt}} As was pointed out in the original DR by Butko.
This same rationale lead to a keep of File:Flag of the Donetsk Republic (Organisation).svg. How is one ok and the other not? Pro-Kiev nominations and delete votes aren't policy. Policy is what should decide the matter. Rosario Berganza 20:40, 27 July 2014 (UTC)
- Support Why this was deleted, and the others kept? It seems completely arbitrary. Regards, Yann (talk) 20:48, 27 July 2014 (UTC)
- Oppose at this time as Ankry pointed out at the DR "Derivative work of PD symbols is another work and can be copyrighted" so this needs permission is send to COM:OTRS before we can host it. As an aside anything that is {{PD-RU-exempt}} is not necessarily PD in either the Ukraine or US. LGA talkedits 21:12, 27 July 2014 (UTC)
- This is a very simple derivative combination of PD elements. The idea that it would make a new copyright is wrong. It's a simple PD flag.
- They're almost identical! But one is ok and the other isn't? There's no more creativity or originality in the one than in the other. Simple. OK for Commons. Shouldn't have been deleted. Also, we have all keep votes for the PNG... Rosario Berganza 00:30, 28 July 2014 (UTC)

- You may feel it is wrong, but sadly it is true, if anyone uses pre-existing works to create a new work, that "new" work has it's own copyright which is separate and distinct from any copyright attached to the pre-existing works. If the pre-existing works used are PD then the new author is free to licence the new work how they see fit; if the pre-existing works are still in copyright the righsholders of the pre-existing works used need to consent to their work being used in the "new" work.

The deleted file was uploaded by me according to a permission from its author Alexander Brodsky, and on 22-nd of July he sent a formal letter to OTRS with confirmation of his agreement. Please let me know what can I do now to keep the file in Wikimedia? Thank you. Mlarisa (talk) 15:05, 27 July 2014 (UTC)
- Comment The message sent 5 days ago by Alexander Brodsky does not mention any image, and seems related to something else. May be somebody speaking Russian will have more clue. Regards, Yann (talk) 20:57, 27 July 2014 (UTC)
- This must be my fault as I instructed him: instead of image name, Brodsly's letter contained an external link to the page where the image was referenced: Последний адрес. Could you please look into the page history? Sorry for that mistake. Mlarisa (talk) 06:10, 28 July 2014 (UTC)
- Should I ask Mr. Brodsky to send another letter with a file name, or is the sent letter enough for making a decision? If so, could you please decide without a big delay, because the image is of great value for the article: this is a memorial sign, and it is important for readers to know how it looks like. Thanks. Mlarisa (talk) 07:39, 29 July 2014 (UTC)
Please ask Mr.Brodsky to send a permissions email to COM:OTRS, with a URL to the file somewhere in the body of the email. If everything is in order, OTRS will restore the file -FASTILY 09:14, 29 July 2014 (UTC)

@JuTa, Natuur12, Peteforsyth, and Fabrice Florin (WMF): I've temporarily restored the image after reading Commons:Deletion requests/File:Wikimedia Metrics Meeting - June 2014 - Photo 11.jpg in order to add source images in the description. However, I'd prefer to have opinion of the COM:UDR active admins in order to decided whether the file should be restored or not.
PS: I don't understand why the image was deleted in the first place and not the description improved. --PierreSelim (talk) 07:07, 28 July 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks @PierreSelim: . But if you found and documented all the sources, why did you re-delete? Weren't they freely licensed? -Pete F (talk) 07:54, 28 July 2014 (UTC)
- If the sources are fixed the file can be undeleted. What worries me more is that WMF-staff doesn't give proper atribution to the photographers. The reason why it was deleted and not fixed, everyone had more than 7 days to find the sources. I am not going to do other people's homework and without those sources the image is a violation of the cc-license. Natuur12 (talk) 09:16, 28 July 2014 (UTC)
@Peteforsyth: I prefer droping a line here, there is no deadline to restore the file. Now it seems we agree Done, I have restored the file and add some information. --PierreSelim (talk) 22:11, 28 July 2014 (UTC)

I' believe now I found another possible reason for keeping this file. I found completely random another registred trademark with exactly the same logo S: hr:File:STV.PNG This logo seems registered and used over 10 years, so there can't be a copyright by the British Steel author anymore!? If not, there is also an act on customary law!? (The deleting admin has me encouraged to an UDR.) → User: Perhelion (Commons: = crap?) 21:20, 23 July 2014 (UTC)
- Oppose The logo will remain copyright in the UK regardless of what someone else does. It can be uploaded to enwp as {{PD-ineligible-USonly}} but can't be hosted here. LGA talkedits 22:55, 23 July 2014 (UTC)

Simple geometric shapes are public domain as {{PD-trivial}}. Eagle came from File:Coat of Arms of the Russian Federation.svg - this image is public domain as {{PD-RU-exempt}}. Coats of arms of Luhansk is public domain as {{PD-UA-exempt}} As was pointed out in the original DR by Butko.
This same rationale lead to a keep of File:Flag of the Donetsk Republic (Organisation).svg. How is one ok and the other not? Pro-Kiev nominations and delete votes aren't policy. Policy is what should decide the matter. Rosario Berganza 20:40, 27 July 2014 (UTC)
- Support Why this was deleted, and the others kept? It seems completely arbitrary. Regards, Yann (talk) 20:48, 27 July 2014 (UTC)
- Oppose at this time as Ankry pointed out at the DR "Derivative work of PD symbols is another work and can be copyrighted" so this needs permission is send to COM:OTRS before we can host it. As an aside anything that is {{PD-RU-exempt}} is not necessarily PD in either the Ukraine or US. LGA talkedits 21:12, 27 July 2014 (UTC)
- This is a very simple derivative combination of PD elements. The idea that it would make a new copyright is wrong. It's a simple PD flag.
- They're almost identical! But one is ok and the other isn't? There's no more creativity or originality in the one than in the other. Simple. OK for Commons. Shouldn't have been deleted. Also, we have all keep votes for the PNG... Rosario Berganza 00:30, 28 July 2014 (UTC)

Files uploaded by User:Christian Rößler[edit]
Please restore
- File:20120520 Segen Gottes 13.jpg
- File:Bergwerk Frischglueck Neuenbuerg.jpg
- File:Bergwerk Silbergruendle Seebach kartan.de.jpg
Neither of these deletions were requested. The deletion requests that were given as reason do not refer to these files, but to uploads by User:Agricolax (reduced size of same images) which had already been deleted and redirected to the undisputed files that were now deleted. These files were original size out of camera, which had not been published before. So there's no obvious reason to demand a permission or even to delete without a warning. User:Christian Rößler has an upload history dating back to 2005, these files were fully consistent with his earlier uploads. On his own website http://kartan.de/index.php?id=bergwerke, Rößler publishes the reduced file size only (768 × 1024 px, which Agricolax had uploaded here), so you can be sure that files sized 2000 × 3000 px were uploaded by the author himself. --Sitacuisses (talk) 11:34, 29 July 2014 (UTC)
- You make the assumption that User:Christian Rößler owns the web site http://kartan.de/. I agree that that is a reasonable assumption, but we have no actual evidence of it. As I said at the DR, we get many imposters here on Commons, so, as a matter of policy, we do not act on such assumptions unless they are proven beyond a significant doubt.
- The images appear on the web site as CC-BY-NC-ND. Therefore, policy requires that the owner of http://kartan.de/ confirm that he is User:Christian Rößler, or at least that User:Christian Rößler has permission to upload images to Commons with a different license. This can be done easily with OTRS. . Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 12:24, 29 July 2014 (UTC)
- Did you actually read my above text? If you did, please answer my argument about original file size and an upload history lasting nine years. In the light of this, your objection is just paranoid rubbish, which would justify, at the most, politely asking for permission, but NOT the immediate deletions of files uploaded by a respected user. Your attitude is harmful for this project. --Sitacuisses (talk) 12:44, 29 July 2014 (UTC)
- We have over twenty million images on Commons. My best guess is that at least 1% of them, 200,000+ images, have copyright problems of one sort or another. Since we have no systematic way of looking at every image, that includes many images that have been here for many years. It is not beyond a significant doubt that an imposter has been uploading images here for nine years. As for the size, who knows how the user got them?
- I agree that for a nine-year user, we might better have asked before deleting, but now that they have been deleted, I see no reason to break policy and restore them without the required confirmation. . Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 12:54, 29 July 2014 (UTC)
- You make the assumption that somebody has been continually stealing original files from Christian Rößler's computer for nine years, and that this unknown imposter has registered a Wikipedia account with Christian Rößler's name, and and that the original Christian Rößler hasn't noticed all of this during the past nine years. Are you serious? At least, I won't take you seriously from now on. Are there any wise persons left here to take a second look? --Sitacuisses (talk) 12:59, 29 July 2014 (UTC)
- Yes, completely serious. We see imposters here all the time. If Christian Rößler was not a WP or Commons user, there is no reason at all for him to know that he was being faked here. . Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 13:09, 29 July 2014 (UTC)
- There are several references to Wikipedia on his website, he has an active guestbook with another reference to Wikipedia. Also, his contributions to de.wp are consistent with everything else. You still haven't answered where the original files should come from if not from the original author. So please stop wasting my time with utter nonsense if you don't know what you're talking about. --Sitacuisses (talk) 13:21, 29 July 2014 (UTC) Also, what's so special about the three files that makes you want to delete only those, but not all the other files uploaded by Rößler? If, at least, you were consistent in your actions. It's just incredible. --Sitacuisses (talk) 13:32, 29 July 2014 (UTC)
- You keep saying that this is incredible. That's not particularly helpful -- policy is very clear that when images appear on a non free web site and also on Commons, that we require OTRS verification that the upload to Commons is with the permission of the owner of the web site. That can be as simple as the owner of the web site confirming that he is the same person as the Commons user, or can be done on an image by image basis. There is no exception to the policy for longevity on Commons.
- If you don't like the policy, then you are free to try to change it, but as long as the policy exists. Administrators are required to enforce it. . Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 13:57, 29 July 2014 (UTC)
- Jameslwoodward, I wasn't asking for another comment from you. I came here for an unprejudiced second opinion, not for the continual repetition of the person's view who started the whole mess. And the original file size did NOT appear on a non free web site. Is there anybody who will actually take the facts into account rather than repeat the old song? --Sitacuisses (talk) 14:11, 29 July 2014 (UTC)

Not done Unfortunately we cannot host the files on commons for now (See COM:PCP). The images appear on the web site as CC-BY-NC-ND. The policy requires that the owner of the webpage confirm that he is User:Christian Rößler (or that User:Christian Rößler has permission to upload images to Commons with a different license). This can be done with COM:OTRS. --Steinsplitter (talk) 16:35, 29 July 2014 (UTC)

Kann nicht nachvollziehen, warum es gelöscht wurde. Die Datei ist frei zu herunterladen auf den Seiten der FIBA Europa und in der EN-Wiki (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EuroChallenge) ist das Bild anscheinend auch gestattet.

- Oppose The source site, http://www.fibaeurope.com/cid_ojtyGGPpHo2S-,nyVXIOa0.html has a clear copyright notice with all rights reserved. The PDF use manual there has clear copyright notices on every page. The use on WP:EN at EuroChallenge is clearly marked as non-free. I don't know how it could be any more clear that this is a non-free logo.

OTRS 2014071410013644 raised with an offer to release copyright - I would like to see the image page for additional verification before confirming. This does not preclude speedy deleting if verification fails or if unsuitable for other (non-copyright) reasons. Fæ (talk) 12:20, 29 July 2014 (UTC)
- This appears to be a valid license. The e-mail comes from an address at cbsnews.com. The image attached to the OTRS e-mail appears to be the same as the deleted image. Therefore, I am restoring this. . Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 12:41, 29 July 2014 (UTC)
- I would prefer to either close the OTRS ticket myself (not getting any notification, means investigating what happened to vanished tickets takes as much time as closing it myself), or I can skip future undeletion requests on OTRS and presume that volunteers can take ownership who are also Commons administrators.
- My apologies if you think I jumped on your turf. The OTRS ticket had been open for two weeks and did not have an owner, so I thought it best if I took ownership and closed it. If you (or anyone else) had been the ticket owner, I would not have taken it over. . Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 13:00, 29 July 2014 (UTC)

Hello,
This image was granted to the big picture and all copywrites were cleared from the artists UFuk Kobas , the clearance stated a permission given to the big picture to use it as the lead image for the campaign of 2013 and all future marketing online, please check with the artists directly to confirm the above. documents can be presented if needed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ramnath88 (talk • contribs) 13:56, 29 July 2014 (UTC)
Oppose:
- The source site, http://www.ufukkobas.com/paintings-2012/, has a clear copyright notice. That is not necessarily a problem, because the photograph itself does not have a copyright under the WMF 2D art policy.
- The image is a painting on a photograph of Elizabeth Taylor, and is therefore a derivative work of the photograph, which is probably under copyright.
- The painting itself has a copyright and there is no evidence of permission from the artist.
- The painting is the work of an unknown artist and is therefore probably out of scope.

I was sent the image I submitted directly from Boy George and told that it is not a copyright infringement. Please advise as to what I did wrong. thanks Joanikin — Preceding unsigned comment added by Joanikin (talk • contribs)
- Oppose The image metadata and this page both credit the image to Dean Stockings. Generally the author (photographer), not the subject (Boy George) would be expected to hold the copyright. Either Stockings or Boy George would need to follow the procedure at COM:OTRS to submit evidence of permission (in the case of the latter, this would include providing evidence of a conveyance of copyrights from Stockings).

Files uploaded by User:Christian Rößler[edit]

Undeletion was previously rejected referring to Commons:Project scope/Precautionary principle: "The precautionary principle is that where there is significant doubt about the freedom of a particular file it should be deleted." Note that the word "significant" is highlighted, which means that a minor doubt is not sufficient to delete a file. The files in question were uploaded by a respected user, User:Christian Rößler, who has been active here for many years. 15 files upoaded by him since 2005 are still online. Christian Rößler is also the name of the person who runs the website kartan.de, where smaller versions (768x1024px) of the same files have been published under a NC licence. Just like User:Christian Rößler's contributions to commons, Christian Rößler's website is centered around ancient mines. After someone had uploaded small versions from kartan.de to commons, which I placed deletion requests on (based on the NC licence), Rößler was generous enough to upload the original, large versions of the files under an adequate license, using his own Commons account. For many years Rößler has shown that he is ready to upload certain files to Commons under a free commercial license. Deleting these files is an insult to Rößler's generosity. Not a single evidence has been shown for the assumption that User:Christian Rößler is not the same person as Christian Rößler from kartan.de. On the contrary, his recent uploads to Commons of files much larger size and better quality than the ones he published on his website, prove that he's the same person. Deleting files on the very unlikely, refuted and defamatory assumption that User:Christian Rößler is an imposter, is a violation of the guidelines. Please undelete the files.--Sitacuisses (talk) 06:03, 31 July 2014 (UTC)
Restored: I think that Sitacuisses is right here. EXIF data of these pictures match other uploads from Christian Rößler. I don't think there is any much doubt about the copyright of these files. Regards, Yann (talk) 06:21, 31 July 2014 (UTC)
