File:Resaca a València - 19.jpeg[edit]

It's from a previous undelete request, but despite having some files restored, this very file, which was in use at :ca, has not been restored. I understand that quality may not be the best, but the files that were at Category:Presentació de Resaca a València are the only portaits of this comic-book artist We have at Commons, so, were the only way I had to illustrate the article. I must insist: the 19.jpeg file was in use when deleted. Also, File:Mamen Moreu signant - 1.jpeg and File:Mamen Moreu signant - 2.jpeg had more quality that the other deleted files. Please, restore at least those three files with a delettion consult, like the other files before deleting a whole set with some files in use (and not substituble) in wikipedia.--Coentor (talk) 10:24, 25 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Coentor: It might help if you clarify the context of the images more. Who and what did the pictures exactly depict? Why and to which article were they useful? Links to Wikipedia pages and external sites are welcome. whym (talk) 15:45, 31 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I made those pictures in a book-presentation in a bookstore. They represents ca:Miguel Gallardo,ca:Paco Roca and the author of the book ca:Mamen Moreu. Both Gallardo and Moreu didn't had any other picture in Commons. Gallardo is a veteran underground comic book designer, who created the cult-character es:Makoki. After, he went into a clear-line style and made some famous works as es:María y yo. He won the Comics National Price of Catalonia. Mamen Moreu has only one graphic novel, Resaca, which was presented in Valencia the day the photos were taken. She is a collaborator of famous Spanish magazine es:El Jueves and also the veteran underground magazine es:TMEO. The photos are portaits of those people and obiously represent themselves in their own articles, but also can be used in articles about works made alonside, like in es:Emotional World Tour. Basically, I want a photo to illustrate ca:Mamen Moreu (had an acceptable photo, but deleted) and ca:Miguel Gallardo (had one, deleted, and restored). I believe that the three photos I've listed in this request (the best Moreu's photos) could be nice to illustrate their article. Also, other portaits with Roca or Gallardo could be used to illustrate articles about their works, which usually have arricles in :es.--Coentor (talk) 16:21, 31 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

✓ Done I have absolutely no idea why File:Resaca a València - 19.jpeg was deleted. It was in use at ca:Mamen Moreu and had no deletion discussion (or even deletion tag!). The other two (File:Mamen Moreu signant - 1.jpeg and File:Mamen Moreu signant - 2.jpeg) were rightly deleted in my opinion, but I've restored them as COM:SCOPE issues generally require a DR unless absolutely unambiguous.

File:Selline kevade algus 2010.jpg [edit]

My rationale here for keeping this photo was that the building on the background on the left right and behind the trees is unlikely the main building. Jim replied that the building is the only important thing there and hence the main subject. This is hard to agree about that the streets, a junction or generic town view aren't important. This can be illustration of specific street or town (important as subjects on, say, Wikipedia). What other opinions do we have on this?

Judging on the main subject in the sense of the copyright act of Estonia in my opinion is similar to judging on threshold of originality or de minimis where reasons are never absolutely solid and where we often yet don't rush apply restrictions that are unlikely to be there. Pikne 13:44, 28 July 2014 (UTC)

I think my closure of the DR was correct, so I should  Oppose this. With that said, I think it is a close call, and would be happy with whatever our colleagues decide. .     Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 14:20, 28 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I vote for undelete. It strikes me as a picture of an intersection. The building in concern (I guess it's on the right, not left?) occupies only 10%, hidden significantly by the trees, and the entire scene has many other elements. whym (talk) 09:39, 29 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support I think whym's comments are persuasive. I sympathize with Jim's position (indeed, the framing suggests the building was deliberately included, and the image was categorized in relation to the building - both important factors when considering DM), however, the perspective and objects in front of the building (tress, signs, etc.) seem sufficient to obscure and/or making very difficult to discern whatever copyrightable architectural features may be present.

File:Het logo van Pleio.png[edit]

The file has been deleted because of a suspected violation of copyright.

It belongs to this page: https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pleio

I uploaded the file as chairman of the Pleio Foundation. The foundation owns the copyright to its logo.

Therefore there's no copyright violation and I ask for the file to be undeleted.

File: Rocket Stove, Energy Designs, etc[edit]

Hello, Requesting undeletion for these files, these are essential for the collective work of humanity right now and did not match the reasons that they were deleted; in fact were linked on other wikis and a blog of mine. All original work, much of it unique art that is lost without it. I like to have it be protected by the commons licensing that Wikimedia commons gives, and has large educational context. This is what wikimedia is all about, and the hoops as well as the original picking-on is embarassing to folks who would have done it. Super relevant, timely and urgent please undelete: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Deletion_requests/Files_uploaded_by_EM_Che

It would have been nice to have two seconds to write the closure. 1) Just ask the deleting admin next time instead of wasting resources here; 2) read COM:REVDEL- "Please note that revision deletion is used sparingly and is not (for example) used to hide the fact that there were several unsuccessful attempts at uploading variants of an image". Эlcobbola talk 22:06, 31 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I don't see why it shouldn't. librsvg is inherently buggy and is very strict about svg xml, so it can take several tries (with rather ugly output) to properly debug one's code. -FASTILY 22:17, 31 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Commons:Deletion requests/Mexican Coins after 1958[edit]

Mexican Coins after 1958

Se argumenta que no deben estar por ser objetos tridimensionales con derecho de autor, sin embargo a pesar de ser monedas ostentan el escudo nacional mexicano el cual no tiene derechos de autor por ser emblema nacional. Otros ejemplos de archivos de objetos tridimensionales con escudos: Fijos (además libertad de panorama)

No fijos

Esa es la lista.--Inri (talk) 15:54, 28 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Support I don't see that the DR offered any explanation of why {{PD-Coa-Mexico}} would not apply. Mexico's federal law on copyright says copyright protection is not offered to "Las reproducciones o imitaciones [...] de escudos, banderas o emblemas de cualquier país, estado, municipio o división política equivalente" (Reproductions or imitations [...] of shields, flags or emblems of any country, state, county or equivalent political subdivision). This passage is silent on the issue of dimension, and a three-dimensional rendition of the coat of arms is almost certainly an "imitation," if not also a "reproduction." I don't believe the threshold of significant doubt was met, and I don't believe this should have been closed with no comments outside of the (at best) incompletely articulated nomination.

Request to undelete File:Brown Bear Ammunition logo.gif[edit]

I am making a request to undelete File:Brown Bear Ammunition logo.gif in Wikimedia Commons please. I would like to change or amend the license designation and description for this logo file in order for it to remain on Wikimedia Commons or on Wikipedia. For instance, I could change the license to an attributed "non-free" one and provide a description and explanation as to why it is allowed. Here is the original external web link for the Brown Bear Ammunition logo.

Furthermore, I would like to know why is this image file for the wolf ammunition logo allowed and not deleted? Can you please explain further to help me understand? Thanks. Petesimon2 (talk) 21:15, 2 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings Petesimon2: Your note above refers to two separate projects. The image you ask to be restored was uploaded to Wikimedia Commons which has no fair use rationale, therefore amending the license to "non-free" will not get the file restored. The second image you refer to is uploaded to Wikipedia which does allow a fair use. The deletion request laid out both the problem and the solution: "Copyright violation: If you are the copyright holder/author and/or have authorization to publish the file, please email our OTRS team to get the file restored." Images are never really "deleted" just made invisible. So if you are the copyright holder... etc. as above, please follow the OTRS link for help. Cheers!

File:Al lAbout The Rock Logo.png - I own the copyright to this image, it is my image[edit]

Hi,

I dont know why this image has been removed for copyright grounds - i own all the copyrights to this image, the image belongs to me, it is one of a kind and in no way compromises anyone elses work.

Please can you help/advise me what i need to do to undelete the image.

Regards

Craig All About The Rock owner and owner of the image. ((unsigned|Hogie666}}

In regards to the opposition - the image has appeared on www.allabouttherock.co.uk because, believe it or not, the All About The Rock logo that has been deleted from the All About The Rock Wikipedia page appears on the All About The Rock website because the Wikipedia page is about that said website! I linked the image to this Wikipedia page because this logo was created specifically by me for All About The Rock, therefore, no copyright infringement. I will submit the necessary evidence.

I am intrigued though as to what these "numerous other sites" are - please do tell me so I can start the ball rolling with who is infringing my copyright.

The uploaded image reveals the Cabinet Minister in his rank of Lieutenant General . License details [2]

Wikipedia contact: Stephen Philbrick

Reason: Wiki contact Stepehn Philbrick stated that Google Images imported the jpg's, gif's files from the Eastern European block of Baltic Nations. 

        At that point, I had reason to believe that the " File:Teodoras_Daukantas_,_Cabinet_MInister.jpg " file
        became a part of the copyright creative commons license under "Fair Use" guidelines and therefore publishable .

Zckjsrbn (talk) 16:57, 5 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Please read COM:L. Fair use images are not allowed on Commons. Thanks, Yann (talk) 17:10, 5 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Zckjsrbn, I'm sorry, but nothing you write here makes any sense. You say that the license details of the photo can be seen here, but they can't. That's just a list of Google Image Search results. There is nothing mentioned about licenses there.
The first result in that list is en:File:Teodoras Daukantas,Lithuanian Cabinet Defense Minister , ( 1884-1960) .jpg, which you uploaded at English Wikipedia. Although User:Sfan00 IMG for some reason thought it would be a good idea to transfer to Commons, a file with that kind of file description should not be copied here. On that file description, you claim that the photo was created by Google Images in October 2013, that Google Images released it under the specific terms and conditions of the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 1.0 License and that evidence of that can be found at the aforementioned search results list. I doubt any of that is true. Google Images is just part of Google Inc.'s services; it's not a person capable of authoring photos, the photo doesn't look like it was created in 2013, and there is no evidence whatosever to substantiate the rather unlikely claim that the real author or the author's heirs have approved publication under the specific terms and conditions of the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 1.0 License. From what I can see, you simply made that up.
The statement "Wiki contact Stepehn (sic) Philbrick stated that Google Images imported the jpg's, gif's files from the Eastern European block of Baltic Nations. At that point, I had reason to believe that the file became a part of the copyright creative commons license under "Fair Use" guidelines and therefore publishable" makes no sense either. I can't see where Sphilbrick communicated with you, but the fact that Google imported some files has absolutely no impact on their copyright status. I don't see why you would have reason to believe that the file is published under the terms and conditions of the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 1.0 License. A work is only covered by a license if the legitimate copyright holder explicitly states that it is covered by that license. So far, you have not identified a copyright holder or pointed to such a statement. Fair use media files are not allowed on Commons. —LX (talk, contribs) 17:34, 5 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not seeing how my name entered the discussion. It sounds like someone thought that a file used under fair use could be moved to Commons and become "publishable ". Absolutely not. I don't follow why someone thought it was fair use. I just deleted the image copied to Wikipedia.--Sphilbrick (talk) 17:58, 5 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Wikibook metabolism images restoration is needed[edit]

During July I had migrated here the whole around 500 images from the French Wikibooks, which licenses were compatible here.

In this purpose I had renamed the 56 metabolism images with a prefix just before, to disambiguate them. But the maintenance engendered by the full importation operation was surprisingly far from what I had expected, so I could only update these 56 images names in the book today.

The problem is that they have been deleted because no one here knew that they were actually used under their old names two weeks ago.

In a post by Tim Ferriss himself on his blog (http://fourhourworkweek.com/2014/08/05/timothy-ferriss-email/comment-page-1/#comment-345668), he admits that this photo was taken at his direction, with his personal camera, in his home. Ferriss asserts that he personally owns the copyright and releases that copyright for use on his Wikipedia page.

--Neonicacid (talk) 06:18, 6 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Oppose First, permission to use an image in WP is not sufficient. The copyright holder must release the image for any use anywhere, including commercial use and derivative works. This is best done by the photographer sending a license using the procedure at Commons:OTRS. Second, unless there was a written agreement between Ferriss and the actual photographer, Ferriss does not own the copyright. Owning the camera and asking someone to take a picture with it does not transfer the copyright from the photographer. USA law is quite clear that work for hire agreements and transfers of copyright must be in writing. .     Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 12:17, 6 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

"Fotografie des Königsberger Gastroenterologen Dr. Egbert Braatz" die gelöschte Datei hieß "Braatz-Egbert.jpg 4. Wie aus der eigenen Biographie bei Ihnen "Neumann-Meding" hervorgeht, bin ich Kurator der Stiftung Königsberg und 1. Vorsitzender der Zustiftung der Franz Neumann-Stiftung. Wie aus dem Link unter meinem Benutzernamen Franz-Neumann-Stiftung in der Stiftung Königsberg hervorgeht, verwalten die beiden Stiftungen auch die Zeitschrift "Ostpreußische Arztfamilie", die von 1945 - 1995 bestand. Aus dieser Zeitschrift entnehme ich für die wissenschaft seit Jahren unveröffentlichte Bilder, so z.B. dasjenige von Braatz, auf den ich über Korrespondenz mit Japan aufmerksam gemacht wurde. Dort ist er absolut unbekannt und man suchte 2 Jahre nach seinem Bild. Ich verstehe überhaupt nicht, weshalb Sie nach der gründlichen Eingabe mit Hinweiss auf meine Stiftungstätigkeiten alle meinen zuletzt eingegebenen Bilder rausgenommen haben. Um viel Zeit zu sparen, ware ich Ihnen zu Dank verpflichet, wenn Sie in meine Diskussion hineinschauen und alle gelöschten (?) oder zurückgestellten Bilder (Losch, Bamberger, Bessel-Grabstein u.v.a.)wieder aufnehmen. Es gibt einfach derzeit keine anderen Kollegen oder Historiker, die die Königsberger Geschichte der alten Universität Königsberg aufarbeiten.

File:Lev Peugeot TelAviv.jpg[edit]

Hello,

you wrote here that :

"A house with a parquet floor is usually not situated in a public place"

Please note that a "public place" means a publicly accessible place, not necessarily outside in the street. This entrance hall is publicly accessible. So your argument is irrelevant...

Djampa (talk) 08:42, 6 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

 Comment You are quite correct that Israeli FOP includes works that are in museums, including those with admission charges. However, there is nothing in the file description which tells where the image was taken -- I tried Googling "Lev Peugeot" and came up with no useful results. It is up to the uploader to prove that the image can be kept. That proof is missing here. .     Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 12:27, 6 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The artist is Ruslan Sergeev. His works seen all over Israel - Category:Ruslan Sergeev. Look like that the specific photo taken in a service centre of Peugeot in Bnei Brak Israel (near Tel-Aviv)- see her (direct). Geagea (talk) 00:03, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Can't see the image in question, but with all this focusing on the "public place" question we are ignoring the permanently requirement. Can an admin confirm the nature of the work that is at issue here and confirm it is clearly permanently displayed and not just a poster put up for a period then removed. As if it is not permanent it does not matter about the "public place" question. LGA talkedits 06:20, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

For reference, here's a copy of the deleted image: [4], [5] -FASTILY 06:38, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks Fastily for the links, while I think that a car dealership would probably class as a "public place", there is nothing in either the image or file description that actually confirms this is indeed taken in a car dealership (as opposed, to say, Peugeot Israel corporate office), on the question of is this permanently located, again there is nothing in either the image or file description that actually confirms it is permanently located, the presence of the base (as opposed to it fixed directly to the floor) indicates that it is at least portable. In fairness there also is nothing that confirms it is temporary either, however we have two policies that deal directly to this type of situation, firstly COM:EVID makes it the responsibility of the uploader or those requesting it's restoration or retention to provide such proof that the file is indeed free, to date they have not; also is the COM:PRP which says if there is significant doubt (which there is) about the status of the file we should not host it. Therefore at this time I have to  Oppose the restoration pending the proof the sculpture is permanently situated in a public place. LGA talkedits 08:49, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
You never find in a description that some object is permanently located in a place. It our decision. I really dont know if the file should stay or not but please consider the fact, that all the artists work are heavy statues that can not be removed easily and the fact, that Peugeot is mentioned in the filename. If it is really important we can also ask in he.wiki village pump. Geagea (talk) 22:11, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Another issue maybe the copyright over the image, it appears here on the artists own website, however the uploader (User:Origati) claims it as his own, perhaps the best approach is an COM:OTRS ticket from Ruslan Sergeev agreeing the release. LGA talkedits 22:47, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
It can work for you if you can prove that the photo on the site uploaded before it uploaded to Commons. So go to work. Geagea (talk) 22:57, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
on the other hand, you may have a point see Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Origati. Geagea (talk) 23:01, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

 Oppose Picture by an agency without a permission. Regards, Yann (talk) 19:11, 9 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Let me add a little to this rapid close. The source of the image, http://www.thehindu.com/sport/other-sports/cwg-parupalli-kashyap-wins-mens-singles-gold/article6277340.ece, has an explicit copyright notice, so there is nothing there to even suggest that the image is freely licensed. There is no reason at all to believe that images provided by The Press Trust of India are in any way freely licensed. The PTI web site is very clear on that, see http://www.ptinews.com/aboutpti/termsofuse.aspx, where it says:

NahidSultan speedy deleted File:kanevedenn@Pleneg-Nantraezh.jpg as a copyvio, but I never saw the arguments for that nomination. The original page in Fotopedia stated this photo is licensed under cc-by-3.0 and the author, Jean-Marie Hullot, is as legitimate as he could be: hundreds of photos, from his travels all over the world (from 1998 up to 2012), uploaded into Fotopedia across several years — and he never caused a concern. If this raindow in Britanny has faked authorship, this guy is a master conman, and all his uploads would have be scrutined.

File:VisualEditor_-_2013-04_Metrics_deck.pdf[edit]

The file contains de minimis use of an image to illustrate the English Wikipedia article. As with all similar presentations, this is normal and accepted on Commons, and the file should be restored.

Jdforrester (WMF) (talk) 11:10, 12 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The David Bowie album cover should be blanked (regardless of de minimis) but there are also two or three other images that look to contain possibly copyrighted imagery, so I'm unwilling to undelete without the copyright being known and sources to the author(s). Bidgee (talk) 11:22, 12 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Bidgee: That's not how de minimis works… If you blank it, it's not in there at all. :-) Jdforrester (WMF) (talk) 11:24, 12 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I was giving a suggestion, the latter is my greatest concern. If some of the larger images used are freely licensed, don't you think it would be right to attribute the author of the work? and if they are not free, they shouldn't be in the pdf. Bidgee (talk) 11:41, 12 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Looking at the pdf again, there are three images. The image used on the second last page is clearly a photoshopped WMF/employee photograph, but the element added is copyrighted (Stargate). Bidgee (talk) 11:47, 12 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
So one of the image's used is on Commons but the document is violating the license (GFDL/CC-BY-SA), the other is likely copyrighted and the copyrighted element used (photoshopped). Bidgee (talk) 12:05, 12 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose I closed this DR as a delete because there are five images in the PDF (one, the David Bowie, appears twice). One of the five is probably a composite of two images, so actually there are six copyrights here. None of them have an attribution. Even if they appear on Commons -- which I haven't checked -- none of them are attributed, so they almost certainly violate the license on Commons.
There is also the question of whether this is in scope. We generally do not keep PDFs unless they are original works by notable authors. I'm not at all sure that our scope includes this. .     Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 13:24, 12 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Seems that everybody’s in a hurry to get this one closed, but hold your horses. While I accept I might have twice misread the now-defunct page http://www.fotopedia.com/items/jmhullot-8rpYWusqb8I to state licensing under cc-by-3.0, against JurgenNL’s failing review, how/why did Google images grab this one as CC-by/CC-by-sa along with the other couple hundred images I uploaded based on that search? Note that archived version of that page is from 2010 and proves nothing: 4 years is plenty of time to change a license and, unlike a "(c)" mention, a CC license is not revokable. Was Jurgen (and NahidSultan before him) mislead by the archived version of the page or it was saying "all right reserved" (again?) on Aug.12th? Did the author change this photo’s license on the very last day of Fotopedia? (And why not all the others’? — this is moot, anyway, as CC licenses are not revokable.) Or did I fail to notice this one (c) among so many CC, and somehow Goggle images managed to make the same mistake? -- Tuválkin ✉ 20:42, 13 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Support The Google cache version as of 18 June 2014 indeed shows a CC-by license. The scenario that JurgenNL found the source page defunct as of the 11 August review and thus looked to the 2010 webarchive.org version (all rights reserved) instead of the 2014 Google cache version (CC-by) seems a perfectly reasonable sequence of events (unless JurgenNL chimes in otherwise, of course).

It looked like this was trending towards keep before it was closed. The reason for closure was to make sure the proper Undeletion process was followed. Hence my reopening the case.--Nowa (talk) 16:12, 10 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Additional comment: The reasons given for “keep” in the prior AfD were that some users felt there was no significant doubt as to authorship/copyright status of the image. Other users disagreed and felt the image should be deleted due to unclear copyright status. There was also a concern that the uploader was attempting to disrupt Commons by uploading a large number of scenery shots with the same person in them. This was one of those shots.--Nowa (talk) 12:31, 11 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  •  OpposeThis is a simple copyright issue, quite aside from Horvitz's deliberate attempts to be disruptive. Horvitz appears in all of his images, so he is not the photographer. Various sources including his blog make it very clear that several different people actually took the pictures. Although his blog tells us who some of them are, none of them are identified picture by picture. While I'm willing to stretch "own work" a little in cases where the subject set up the photo and had someone else just push the button, these are images where Horvitz is not even close to the camera and where composition choices are important. Therefore we have unknown photographers who own the copyrights. US law requires that copyright transfers be in writing and I doubt very much that Horvitz has bothered with that formality. So, I ask, with no license from the actual photographers and copyright holders, how do we keep them? .     Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 12:58, 11 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support I just don't see how this excellent quality photograph disrupts commons. Could everyone please keep in mind the mission of Commons which is focused on the photograph/file NOT politics on other projects or worries that someone is creating unusual "internet art". The copyright holder is right here, and we all know it. David, just write in to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org with a clear statement such as Commons:Email templates/Consent. I can even process your email myself and then everyone will be happy. Be nice. :-) --Fæ (talk) 14:10, 11 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Again, I don't care at all about the "disruption" part of this, but we do not know who the photographer was. Who is it that you are addressing with "David, just write in..." -- not Horvitz, certainly, because the only thing we can be certain of with this and the other Horvitz images is that Horvitz is not the copyright holder. .     Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 15:54, 11 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I have no idea how you know any such thing, I have yet to see a statement by a claimed copyright holder. We have specific evidence that DH publicly and officially exhibits these photographs as the artist, nobody else. We have plenty of examples of "installation art" where the artist may not hold a camera, video-camera or touch the artwork, they are still the artist as they are the creative talent directing and commissioning the work; this is a well established interpretation and practice for Commons and in IP law. Please step back from the logic loop around who pressed a button (if indeed it were not just a camera set to take photos every 5 seconds or under remote control), this is not actually how all IP law works. --Fæ (talk) 07:53, 12 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose I agree with Jim and point out that copyright is the core of the issue here, not any disruptions. In DN's its common to provide additional information to assist the admins and volunteers remember issues, hence the reminders about the series of these images and the public statements on blogs about that. Regardless of that murkiness, what is at play here is a simple copyright issue:
  • 1 there is no way to be sure that the uploader is Mr. Horvitz,
  • 2 there is no way to be sure Mr. Horvitz took the picture. Per prior discussion on the Public Spaces Artist Statement page 98 of 101, it is most likely that he did not take at least the ones in which he is figured.
  • 3 Mr. Horvitz is a living artist. Since he is obviously computer literate and has not filed an OTRS on these images it is not his intent that the images be posted here; else he would have done so long before now and solved the issue the only possible way.
The copyright status on this image is unclear due to te artist's statement. Speaking of other images in this series, the multiple uploaders have further muddied the waters. I wasn't active on Commons when the whole situation began, I can only speak to the obvious nature of the COM:COPYVIO which caused this image to be deleted. This has nothing to do with drama or politics. While other editors may beat that drum, the rest of us are operating within COM:L guidelines. Ellin Beltz (talk) 16:39, 11 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

File:DPART Roundel Final Version.png[edit]

I am shocked that the logo I uploaded onto wikipedia commons was deleted even after contacting the wiki member who tagged the image as having no permission. I sent an email with our website link: www.dpart.org explaining that I am the sole owner/designer and copyright holder of the image posted and as you can see it is featured on our website and all our correspondence. I have explained to user "Cathy" that I had clearly stated my name and that I was the sole owner of the copyright and I gave permission for it to be shared on Wimimedia commons, hence she flagged it for deletion.

Our organisation has been active as a rescue group since 2006 and I am shocked at the way our logo was deleted, despite me contacting this user and also emailing permission explaining that the logo posted was "my own creative work" for our rescue group "DPART SAR" which is a Pakistani community based rescue team. I would really appreciate if you could un delete the image posted please.

  •  Oppose The logo appears at http://www.dpart.org/ with a clear CC-BY-NC-ND license, which is not acceptable for Commons. Restoring it here will require that an authorized officer of the organization grant a free license to use the logo, following the procedure at Commons:OTRS. That e-mail must come from an address at dpart.org. Unfortunately, we must have strict rules for handling organizational copyrights because we have no way of knowing whether you are connected with the organization or if you are actually authorized by the organization to freely license the logo.
I should add that you claim to be the sole owner of the copyright, but DPART.org offers it with the CC license above. Since these two things conflict, you should not be surprised that Commons requires verification.
I have read your message at Cathy Richards talk page. Please remember that Commons gets about 10,000 new images every day and deletes about 1,500 of them. 25 Administrators do almost all of that work. While it would be nice to leave personal notes for each of the 1,500, that is absolutely impossible.

Hmm. Good question. We accept works at Tussauds, but most, maybe all, of those have a copyright only as sculpture, not as a character.

Here, we have a United States work (regardless of where the particular sculpture was created, it is a derivative of the movie version - a US work) and, if this image were to be published in the US, the tort would indeed occur in the US (thus US law would apply; see Itar-Tass Russian News Agency v.

 Keep FOP's are one of the exceptions of the Commons general roles. US-FOP only covered builings, nothig more. E.g. every modern monuments somewhere in the world is copyrigted in US. So, if we go with yours thinging of FOP, there is no sense to keep on Commons e.g. Category:Monuments_and_memorials_in_Poland because more of them are copyrigted in US but they are covered by Poland-FOP. So, if you of that opinion you should change the Commons rules, on the firts... Gniewko, syn rybaka (talk) 23:07, 12 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think FOP is an exception of the Commons COM:L; it's can't be as it is derived from the WMF policy to which we can't make exceptions. The issue with non-us FOP is it is an area where there is a real lack of relevant US case law to guide us in how we should apply it. The WMF, in it's action over the Oldenburg DMCA request in November 2012 show only that they were not willing to forgo the safe harbor protection of the DMCA over works covered by FoP in Germany. There are, in my view, two competing legal views to how a US court would treat a foreign FoP case; firstly they could take the view that the rights-holders, by agreeing to the copyright work being displayed in such a place they knew (or should have known) the work could be captured in derivative works free of restrictions and that they implicitly agreed to those derivative works being created and therefore there is no protection to be afforded in the US; alternatively the court could rule that the the foreign FoP only applies to derivative works in that foreign state. Until we have some relevant US case law to guide us we are free to treat each case on it's merits and it is why I am  Neutral on this. LGA talkedits 07:04, 13 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose I have changed my vote here. To Gniewko, syn rybaka's point: There is a big difference between a work created and copyrighted in the United States and then displayed elsewhere and a work created in an FOP country and displayed there. We have deleted an image of an Oscar statuette on permanent display in Australia on the same grounds as this case -- that the USA copyright came first. I am inclined to believe that a USA court would be OK with the free status of an image of a UK work that met the UK requirements for FOP.
There's an unanswered question here which is a twist on LGA's reasoning -- is this version of the Terminator licensed by the USA copyright holder? If so, I think it very possible that a USA court would hold that UK FOP applied; if not, then I think it more likely that a USA court would hold that the image infringed the USA copyright, just as the UK sculpture does. .     Jim . . . .

  •  Comment So, I read the above discusion and I am now of the opinion that idea of Commons goes to nonsense. Because if there is a difference between the US law on others law, the US law is valied only... US-law is always the best ;(, others counties laws are not important. So, for what hell is the Commons, and who it works for? Should we open local repositories on others lenguages wiki, back? And where we should load e.g. the UK, Canada or Australia files (there are not separate wikis for this English-speaking countries) if they are not compliante with the US law, but compliance with that countries laws?

    The Commons' servers are hosted in the United States; that is why US law is the "first hurdle" for all copyright considerations here. It has nothing to do with quality ("US-law is always the best") or importance ("others counties laws are not important"). You may wish to continue reading and consult Commons:L#Interaction_of_US_and_non-US_copyright_law (e.g. "any licence to use the material should apply in all relevant jurisdictions") instead of continuing this hyperbolic piffle.

Reason: Visited the page Commons:Llotja and spotted a missing image, the drawing File:Josep Maria Folch i Torres.jpg in the section Albert Pons. Not sure what has happen here, but most likely the deletion is an error. If it is not it needs a better description. Usually you can't use copyright infringement as a reason to delete artworks, even if that artwork is close to or use the same expressive language as some some other artwork.

Good work, I could not find any reasoning why this drawing was deleted. I doubt that a drawing like this can be a derivative work of a photo, but I would say that as long as no one with a rightful claim to the copyright of the photo make such a claim we should not delete it. This is not an obvious situation where someone uploaded a plain copy of a photo, so the copyright owners of the photo must substantiate their claim. I say the drawing should be restored. Jeblad (talk) 08:19, 15 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • This is a close call. Several statements above need comment:
"Usually you can't use copyright infringement as a reason to delete artworks"
Of course you can. Paintings and drawings can be just as derivative of a copyrighted work as a photograph. A copy of a sculpture is clearly an infringement.
"...as long as no one with a rightful claim to the copyright of the photo make such a claim we should not delete it."
This is in direct violation of COM:PRP. The whole point of Commons is that we bend over backwards to avoid such situations so that users can rely on our images as being free.
We have certainly deleted drawings made from photographs in the past. Since the subject died in 1950 and the work in question is by a young art student, it is impossible that the student actually saw the subject. Google turns up a variety of images of the subject, but this one is clearly the source of the drawing. Therefore, I  Oppose this request. .     Jim . . . .

This is not the symbol of the Commonwealth Games because it is copyrighted and cannot be used. It is a fictional image to symbolize the Games and it is totally in scope.

If you can show that there was consensus for using this version of the image on those two templates (you can upload it to a site more suited to personal art and ask your colleagues), then we should undelete it. Until then, it's a reasonable assumption that the only reason it wasn't removed was that nobody paid attention to copyright issues while it was a copyright violation and nobody noticed when it was changed to something unrelated. —LX (talk, contribs) 19:25, 15 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
No, it was used on es.wiki too (CommonsDelinker has edited it out) and not added by me for sure.
The copyright issue was raised soon after I uploaded it and therefore I changed the image to avoid problems - then some people came out claiming that it is not the "original" etc etc -trivial reasons. «Unrelated» to what?? See COM:NPOV then.
Moreover, rules do not say that the uploader must prove consensus on use (do any users have to ask for consensus for any images posted in any articles??). The fact that the templates were not edites after my edit are a valid proof that the logo was well accepted since they are quite widely used and I never edited them before.
Anyway if you want (illegitimately) proof of consensus I'll show it. --Gambo7 (talk) 20:45, 15 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Last but not least, in the the deletion request, opened by User:LGA, we agreed that the new version was ok and the only thing left was cleaning the history; the DR was then almost self-cancelling for the disappearing of the problem. James1woodward, instead of following the willings of the DR, deleted the image based on his personal taste («simply peronsal art»: what does it mean? do we have to upload only other people's art??) Did he check the use on the wikis? and then did he check who put in the templates using it? (No - and it was not even necessary because it is not required by the rules) --Gambo7 (talk) 21:14, 15 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Oppose In the image description you said that you were the photographer. Here you say that you have the rights. Which is it? More broadly, since this image has appeared without a free license on Facebook, among other places, policy requires that we have a free license from the photographer, using the procedure at OTRS. .     Jim . . . .

Is Paddling actually a photographer or merely a maintainer of a fan page?

File:Farmsupppost.JPG[edit]

File:Farmsupppost.JPG was deleted on the grounds that it had unclear copyright status. However, its actual copyright status is indicated on the Digital Journal page, where freelance journalist Farid Omar had uploaded it for reuse via a Public Domain license [6]. The file's Attribution parameter (whose documentation indicates that it is reserved for the "original image copyright license holder") lists a separate individual, Hodan Yusuf, as the original copyright holder. The file's licensing was also already okayed on Commons just prior to its sudden deletion. Middayexpress (talk) 14:25, 15 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I did answer that; Hodan Yusuf is the original image copyright license holder. The Public Domain license also indicates that file "is not subject to any copyright or patent restrictions". If necessary, I can contact the DJ uploader for additional clarification. Middayexpress (talk) 17:04, 15 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Again, you have not provided any evidence related to the photo. The poster is a derivative of this photo which appeared numerous places online before the digital journal upload on 22 June 2011 (e.g., here 15 October 2010; here 23 May 2011; here 23 October 2010, etc) - the digital journal page is thus meaningless (see COM:LL). Who took this photo? Where is evidence of their permission? Эlcobbola talk 17:42, 15 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I see your point. The earliest appearance of the file online seems to be by the gentleman himself [7]. I'm still pretty certain Hodan Yusuf (a journalist with Ogaal Radio, the largest Somali community radio station in Canada) took the photo during a visit by the PM. I'll contact the journalist who uploaded it to DJ for additional clarification. Regards, Middayexpress (talk) 18:49, 15 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Image is "PD-Bain" with the copyright owned by The Library of Congress. https://www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/8580798788/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk • contribs)

Thats not entirely correct. The LoC is no the copyright holder, but they are not aware of any copyright restrictions according to http://www.loc.gov/rr/print/res/274_bain.html. This might be a reasonable assumption for the US, the Bain News Service is not a creator of content but a publisher of US and foreign content in the US. Content that they got from foreign press agencies sometimes is not public domain in the country of origin - thats the country of first publication, i.e. the country where the original distributor/agency is located. There is reasonable doubt here that the US is the country of origin and that Commons:Licensing#Interaction_of_US_and_non-US_copyright_law ("in the public domain [...] in both the U.S. and the country of origin of the work") is fulfilled. --Martin H. (talk) 16:36, 15 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Except you are using original research to replace the LOC's assumption that Bain owns the copyright. You can use this argument to delete any photo.

File:Maquette de Philae atterrisseur de la sonde spatiale Rosetta DSC 0150.JPG[edit]

This picture of a model is not different from tens of thousands of pictures of models we can see in museum and which are photographed, stored in Commons and used in Wiki. This model is a copy of a real spacecraft without artistic addings. It's a real size model, not sold as a toy and it will finish his life in an aerospace museum. I don't understand the legal issue. If there is a real legal issue, you have to delete all the pictures of models stored in Commons with high collateral damages on Wiki.

I have devoted a lot of time to wiki and this sort of administrator's acting disappoint me ... a lot. Sorry for my broken English. --Pline (talk) 14:58, 16 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Oppose I was the Admin who deleted this. It is a model. Models clearly have copyrights in the United States and also in most of the rest of the world. Think of it as a sculpture whose subject happens to be a spacecraft rather than a human or a lion. Again, I suggest that you read User:Elcobbola/Models.
The fact that other images of models exist on Commons is irrelevant. If you see them, and they are in places where FOP does not apply, then please tag them with {{Delete}}. We have more than 20,000,000 images on Commons. We get 10,000 new images every day and delete about 1,500. Why does it surprise you that there are images here whose copyright status is not good?
And, except for some minor spelling mistakes, which I have taken the liberty of changing, your English is perfect -- certainly very much better than my French. .     Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 18:24, 16 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The model of Philae is german (the spacecraft is european). The article User:Elcobbola/Models is all about things that are sold (toys, ...), where company's interests are involved. In the cited examples of deletion, when the models are not sold, there are the result of an interpretation. All that is irrelevant for the models displayed in ours museums, which are not sold and will not be copied (absurd for these big things as the scale is generally 1:1). --Pline (talk) 22:16, 16 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose per Jim. Gay Toys, a case cited in the models essay, found "works of 'applied art' encompass all original pictorial, graphic, and sculptural works that are intended to be or have been embodied in useful articles, regardless of factors such as mass production, commercial exploitation, and the potential availability of design patent protection." (emphasis mine) Pline's contention that a model for a museum would not enjoy copyright because it is not for sale is nonsense. Further, a belief that 1:1 scaling has any relevance suggests the essay has not been read and/or understood. Эlcobbola talk 22:52, 16 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

19.8.2014 18.8.2014 Dear Members of wikipedia commens

I recognized – very late undead – that you uncatalogized a lot of pictures – and even a very important picture was canceled (Ebgert Braatz) . As you can see in the “Benutzer: Neumann-Meding” – page, I am the curator (member of the committee or direction) of the “Stiftung-Königsberg” and the “Franz-Neumann-Stiftung” and therefore responsable for the old University “Albertina Königsberg”, founded in 1544 up to the end 1944 (todays Kaliningrad in Russia). I am authorized to catalogize all textes and pictures out of journals in between to the old capital of Prussia Königsberg/Pr. and other east Prussia cities like Danzig (todays Gdansk in Poland). In our archives are wonderful pictures. It is not to understand, if you continue to refuse this chance, to support the science and the history of the medical faculty of the old Prussia university of Koenigsberg.

Please catalogize all files, even the canceled Braatz-Egbert, I ask for 07.08.2014. (Egbert Braatz, who was unknown in Germany until 2013, was ask for from Japanese scientists, who surched for a lot of years a picture of him. Sure, they got it from me, but not with the help of Wikipedia!)

Well, look at the file of the Franz-Neumann-Stiftung (below) in the Stiftung Königsberg and in this file to the Number 4 - will mean: we are f.e. responsable for the old journal "Ostpreußische Arztfamilie" (1945 - 1995), and look at my Benutzername “Neumann-Meding” Thanks E.

  •  OpposeTaking the first image as an example, the DR says:
"Looks like this image was scanned from some book or magazine and is not own work as claimed. The uploader says that the image is part of a foundation archive which he now administers, but that does not necessarily mean that he, the archive or the foundation also holds the rights to that image as well as a physical copy of it."
As the DR says, this is a scan from a book, not "own work". While the Foundation may own the book, it is not at all clear that the Foundation owns the copyright to the book or the images in it and therefore how the Foundation can license them freely.
In order to restore these, the Foundation must first explain how it it that it owns the copyright to the images and then provide a free license using the procedure at Commons:OTRS. .     Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 11:52, 19 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

From the index context at Wikisource, these look like they may have been crown copyright/OGL works, and I am requesting undeletion on that basis.

(It would also have been nice for the deleting admin to have let English Wikisource know of the deletion, because the deletion here broke the Index: pages at Wikisource.) ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 15:30, 20 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It was my understanding that works that would have formerly been under the HMSO style rules for Crown Copyright material, were now in effect re-licensed as OGL. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 16:02, 20 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • To clarify a little, {{OGL}} did not exist in 1982 and is not always retrospectively applied to Crown Copyrighted works (as said above this means 50 years after creation (not publication)). In fact though many previously restricted publications are now released as OGL, this is a policy preference but not mandatory.
    1. For the 1982 work we would need to see the licence at an authoritative source, such as HP archives online. As a Government treaty (if I read this correctly), I suspect that it may be public domain and we can put a case, this would have been much better if handled as a deletion request for that discussion to be laid out.
    2. Any Crown works over 50 years old are public domain, this definitely would include War Cabinet minutes, the King's copyright on these official documents has long expired, we have a Queen now.
--Fæ (talk) 16:13, 20 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support The first one is still covered by Crown Copyright yes, but the UK government has licensed some of that material freely the last few years. One of the sources is http://lawvolumes.dwp.gov.uk/docs/a9-0901.pdf ; the copyright policy on the main web page links here which clearly states that site's material is available under the Open Government License. So, that should be {{OGL}}. In the U.S., it would be {{PD-EdictGov}} as well. As for the second one, Crown Copyright is typically 50 years from publication, unless it's a photograph or artistic work. But in this case it sounds like it was published almost 100 years ago, so its Crown Copyright should be long expired and should be {{PD-UKGov}}.

  • First, please note that it is a serious violation of Commons rules to upload a deleted image a second time, let alone a third time, as you did. Because this image has appeared in many places on the Web with a clear copyright notice, restoring it here will require that the copyright holder, probably the photographer, send a free license using the procedure at Commons:OTRS. Note that OTRS, like all of us, are volunteers and understaffed, so it may be several weeks, or even a month, before the image is restored.
Also, I suggest you read Commons:Guidance for paid editors and the equivalent page at WP:ES. I see that Usuario:Diemenzuid does not say anything about the fact that you are a paid editor. That would be a serious violation of the rules on WP:EN. I do not know the rules at WP:ES, but I suspect the rules are similar. Unless you disclose that you are being paid for editing on WP:ES, you may be blocked from editing. .     Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 11:22, 21 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Babymetal photos[edit]

These images have been deleted because it was SUSPECTED to be copyvio. No poofs of copyvio have been presented. The photos came from a Flickr user who has many Babymetal photos on his/her profile. Some of them seem to be copyrighted photos with the wrong license, but the photos I uploaded to Commons seem to have the correct license, and to be taken by the Flickr user himself/herself. I have now used Google image search to track down the photos, but haven't found anything that suggest they are copyrighted. Some of the photos have been used in a two other sites, ubut in smaller versions. One of the sites did not state the origin of the photos, and the other site mentioned the Flickr user as the source of the photos.

I was asked to take part in the discussion on the Commons:Deletion requests page, but when I visited the page, the file was allready deleted, and I was not allowed to "modify the discussion". -abbedabbdisk 22:43, 23 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Oppose I was involved in the deletion of File:Babymetal - Moametal.jpg; there exists lots of other copies of this image on the net a number with larger resolutions than the deleted one. A view of the source Flickr photo stream shows a number of images the flicker user has released with CC licences that are sourced from the Internet to make it impossible for us to be able to host images from them without some form of COM:OTRS verification that they have a direct link to Babymetal. LGA talkedits 23:02, 23 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment I checked the first two (I don't have the right to examine deleted files, so I had to assume File:YUI LEGEND 1997.jpg was this and File:MOAMETAL LEGEND 1997.jpg was this). They both appear (as larger, un-cropped versions) in a CD Data magazine article that was posted December 12, 2013, months before they were posted by this Flickr account. The photos are credited to "Taku Fujii / Shingo Miyaaki" and the site does not appear to have a free license (it says "(c) KADOKAWA CORPORATION 2013"). Similarly, if File:Babymetal - Yuimetal.jpg was this the Flickr description itself says "The photo is a screenshoot of the concert's video aired by "MUSIC-ON! TV", so presumably it also is not correctly identified as CC-BY-2.0. I didn't check the rest, but it does appear that the editor who nominated the images for deletion was correct that this Flickr user is not to be trusted regarding copyright licensing. —RP88 (talk) 23:19, 23 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose I nominated the above for deletion (most for speedy as previously deleted or as nonfree derivatives, and the one LGA mentions under standard discussion). I don't really have much to add except to agree that there are several images that are incorrectly licensed in that photostream, so it is safe to assume they are, in general, tagged wrong.

File:Babyrama_Storefront_Ajax_Ontario.jpg [edit]

Firstly, please accept my apologies as I'm a newbie and I clearly could be wrong, but the last thing I want to do is to violate any policies. The file File:Babyrama_Storefront_Ajax_Ontario.jpg is a photo taken by me in the "public domain" in Canada. Under Canadian Copyright and Privacy laws, any photo taken in a public place does not require a consent to be published, except from the person who took the picture (and that's me). And it really does not matter what is pictured in the photo - if it was publicly available and I, as a member of public, could see it and take a picture of it - I can share that picture, or publicly publish this picture without anybody's consent.

As such, I believe that me uploading this photo to Wikimedia Commons does not violate any copyright laws.

Please consider restoring this file.

File:Avro Anson K8758.jpg [edit]

The image in question is found on page 41 of Radar Days by Bowen, which can be seen on Google Books. The image was taken from one of two RAF Avro Anson, of another RAF Avro Anson, both of which are identified by serial number on the description page and the book in question. The aircraft in question were part of an experimental group seconded to AMES by the RAE for the development of airborne radar systems. Everyone that ever even heard of the aircraft was either in the RAF or Air Ministry, including the photographer, who was either Hanbury Brown or Bowen himself. This clearly falls under UK Crown Copyright, and thus has an expired copyright as described on the license page in question.

The file was posted for deletion by Nigel Ish on the 2nd, while I was out of town. When I returned I posted a message in an attempt to clarify issues. Nigel did not return to the page, but on the 11th Fastly deleted it anyway saying that it was unclear and requires "explicit written and/or textual, tangible evidence" and linked to the [Commons:Project scope/Precautionary principle], which obviously doesn't apply given that we know who owned the copyright and that it has expired. I asked what more evidence might be required, but have not received a response.

Maury Markowitz (talk) 01:25, 19 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I will not take a position on this because I am not absolutely certain of the law. In the US, images taken by Federal employees whose job includes photography are automatically PD, but those taken by people whose job is not photography are not PD. I would assume that the same is true of Crown Copyright -- certainly not every snapshot taken by someone who works for the UK government has a Crown Copyright, even if it was a government subject. Robert Hanbury Brown was certainly not employed as a photographer and I doubt that Bowen was either. Thus unless we have someone who is certain of the nuances of this rule for Crown Copyright, I think this must remain deleted. .     Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 11:40, 19 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
It's not exactly true that a US Government's job description must be a photographer for their photos to be PD-USGov. It just has to be part of their duties -- if they were primarily say an editor, but they were asked to take photos that day for use in an article, then that is part of their official duties that day. Basically, if the photos were taken as part of their job, versus ones taken for personal use along the way. If something would be a work for hire by an employee, it would be PD-USGov for a government employee. The UK is very similar today, but before 1988 Crown Copyright was very expansive, covering anything done under the direction or control of a government department (regardless if the authors were government employees or not). So, I guess the question is if the photo was the result of someone asking to get some photos for the record, or a private photo Bowen took for himself and still had before publishing in the book. It seems to be a photograph in flight. If the photograph came from an RAF or government archive I'd guess it would be PD-UKGov, but if it was a private photo Bowen took and only he owned then it would be different. (Well, it became PD in the late 1980s same as Crown Copyright, but was re-copyrighted in 1996 by the EU extensions and would now be under copyright for a good long time.)

File:SSTV ISS.jpg[edit]

This file was deleted for the reason of unclear (c) status. I pointed out:Claiming copyright on an amateur radio transmission contradicts the definition of amateur radio as non-commercial exchange of messages. The picture was originated by a camera attached to a amateur station, which may be a space station like the ISS (FCC law §97.207 Space station, a) within ARISS. In this case, FCC law may not apply, 'cause the callsign licence of "RS0ISS" was granted by the Russian Ministry of Communications and Mass Media. (See extraterrestrial amateur radio operation). But Russian communication law must comply with the ITU Radio Regulations. Therfore, the (c) status is not unclear at all (see RR2012-VolI, Chapter I, 1.56-1.57, 1.96,1.98,5.216, Article 25, Section I-II; RR2012-VolIII, Resolution 642,646-2,729-2 resolve 1.1;. --Ptolusque (talk) 11:43, 24 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Oppose The amateur radio part of this is irrelevant. It is entirely possible that an image transmitted by amateur radio could be used for commercial purposes. This image was taken by someone -- that someone pointed the camera and chose the moment to take the image and, therefore, that person owns the copyright. We have no evidence of permission from him or her. .     Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 11:37, 25 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Files deleted in Commons:Deletion_requests/Python_logos[edit]

COM:SOSUMI

The restrictions cited in the DR are ordinary trademark restrictions. 'Not using for a commercial purpose' is true of any image Commons hosts which is a trademark, which is why the restriction tag {{Trademark}} exists –⁠moogsi (talk) 14:42, 25 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Oppose Agree that invocation of the trademark policy was irrelevant. However, it is clear that Python Software Foundation's IP is treated separately from the IP of Python itself (i.e. GPL does not necessarily apply). The Guidelines for Use of the logo set forth: "[i]n general, we want the logo to be used as widely as possible to indicate use of Python or suitability for Python. However, please ask first when using a derived version of the logo or when in doubt" (emphasis mine). This statement may or may not 1) limit use ("to indicate use of Python or suitability for Python") and 2) restrict derivatives ("please ask first") - and it certainly makes no mention whatsoever of the CC-by-SA and GPL licenses the file had used. This seems a textbook insufficiently explicit license with significant doubt regarding its freeness. OTRS permission seems needed. Эlcobbola talk 16:44, 25 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
It is not irrelevant: it seems to be the reason that the media was deleted. I may point to the fact that the cited Guidelines for use begin with the clear statement "The Python logo is a trademark of the Python Software Foundation, which is responsible for defending against any damaging or confusing uses of the trademark." This is exactly the kind of reuse (damaging or misrepresentative) which is restricted by trademark legislation in many jurisdictions. We account for this on Commons with {{Trademarked}}. Otherwise all trademarks on Commons should be deleted as they are not reusable for commercial purposes (for obvious reasons) –⁠moogsi (talk) 18:06, 25 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
You don't appear to have read my comment. Эlcobbola talk 18:20, 25 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I can assure you I read everything I reply to, but it's clear I misunderstood your intent. I'm sorry for that and I don't intend to cloud the issue. –⁠moogsi (talk) 19:11, 25 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I assumed that the version of the logo which is in question was released under GPL, which it doesn't appear to be (that is, "Python Software Foundation's IP is treated separately from the IP of Python itself" as Elcobbola says). I was confused because a few lower-quality versions of the logo are distributed in Python packages under GPL. Consider this withdrawn on my part. –⁠moogsi (talk) 19:31, 25 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The full vector logo is distributed with the Python source under the w:Python Software Foundation License (Python-3.4.1/PC/icons/baselogo.svg) -–⁠moogsi (talk) 06:21, 26 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Per Commons:Deletion requests/File:Python logo.svg, the Python logo is available under the Python Software License for its copyrights. Yes, trademark restricts the usage somewhat, but we still would host it -- any restrictions in the trademark policy do not matter. The notion of "derived works" is from the trademark policy and would refer to logos which create an impression of association with the Python Foundaton, that sort of thing -- all aspects of trademark law. What really matters is the copyright license. If it's not under the same license as the rest of the Python software, but is fully restricted, yes that is an issue. But if it is under a GPL-compatible license, that means it's a free license, and it's OK to be uploaded. Apparently one of the Python Software Foundation's personnel said it was available under the above-mentioned copyright license, which if true means we  Keep. Is there a reason to think it is not available under the license as mentioned on that DR? That seems to be what User:Elcobbola is claiming, but I'm not sure I see a reason to doubt the DR claim. Carl Lindberg (talk) 19:58, 25 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The vector logo is distributed with the source, so I don't see how it couldn't be the same license –⁠moogsi (talk) 08:35, 26 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose at this time, I agree with elcobbola's analysis, so if the OP is so sure that they are free, then ask someone from Python to follow the procedure at COM:OTRS and provide the proof to us, absent that proof as Fastily said on the DR close, we can't host them. LGA talkedits 22:51, 25 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • So, you don't believe the claim of Lulu on the above-linked DR that they are in fact the Chair of the Python Software Foundation Trademarks Committee? The one who confirmed the logo is available under a free copyright license? OTRS isn't *always* necessary; if we feel the user is in fact who they say they are, we can also use what they say. The main reason for OTRS is to confirm the user/uploader is who they say they are. Carl Lindberg (talk) 04:26, 26 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
      • It's not about what I do or do not believe, we have a set of logos which are the property of a organisation we should record the details of who exactly is releasing them, for that we use the OTRS. As an aside the very Committee's policy on Logo use requires that "Any commercial use of the PSF trademarks in product or company names must be approved first by the PSF." so that apparent -NC stipulation needs to be clarified. LGA talkedits 06:16, 26 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
        • The logo is released with the Python source. The 'apparent -NC stipulation' is a non-copyright restriction which doesn't concern Commons –⁠moogsi (talk) 09:16, 26 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
          • Well let the Company clarify exactly what they have released and more importantly under what licence they have released it, to OTRS, it stops all this second guessing and arm-chair lawyering. LGA talkedits 23:02, 26 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
            • They did, clearly, in a comment in the DR I mentioned. User:Lulu of the Lotus-Eaters said: I !vote here specifically in my capacity as Chair of the Python Software Foundation Trademarks Committee, not only as a long-time Wikipedia contributor. The Python logo is indeed available under the GPL-compatible (but actually more permissive) Python Software License. The only reason to not accept that statement is to not believe that user is who they say they are. OTRS is used to confirm identities, but it is not the only way that sort of thing can be done. If a user alters a website to make clear of a license, such that it is obvious that they control the website's content, that is enough of a verification to avoid OTRS. If you believe that person really is on the Python board, then they made the copyright status abundantly clear, and this should be an easy keep. The phrase Any commercial use of the PSF trademarks in product or company names must be approved first by the PSF actually does not need to be clarified. That is explicitly part of the trademark license, which does not affect keeping here regardless of how restrictive it is. If a trademark license says We withhold all trademark rights, we still keep them (provided the copyright is OK), as trademarks are non-copyright restrictions. The "commercial use" referred to in that clause is the "commercial use" of trademark law, which is very different than the "commercial use" of copyright law, and they have nothing to do with each other. It is not a "NC" copyright restriction. Any trademark license, by definition, is limited to the rights granted by trademark law and does not affect copyright at all. User:Elcobbola's analysis properly ignored the trademark license but simply questioned the copyright license, but that question was answered in the previous DR (and accepted by the closing admin). If you would prefer to have something on the OTRS record, that would be something to pursue *after* these are undeleted. Carl Lindberg (talk) 12:59, 28 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment (off topic) None of the Creative Commons marks/logos are available under a free license; but we keep them for use. Note that they can only be used for the limited purposes they allowed. Jee 05:36, 26 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Right, actually reading the PSF License (which might have been useful before I waded into this), specifically terms 2 and 7 are relevant to the discussion. This seems to me to be a clear case of {{Attribution}}, except that tag quite unhelpfully states "including commercial purposes" which is why the restriction tag {{Trademark}} is necessary. I think the license is compatible with Commons as the only relevant restrictions are attribution (the copyright notice) and not abusing the trademark (which is not a copyright restriction) –⁠moogsi (talk) 06:31, 26 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

File:Kaufmann Visayan-English Dictionary.djvu[edit]

I filed the original DR, however, in looking through the Copyright Catlog Entries (for 1934-35), I can't find any mention of this work, nor as yet have I found a renewal for the relevant dates.

I am requesting an undeletion, because the issue with this work, was that it might not have been PD in the US. Given that I can't find any record of it in the US Catalog of Copyright Entries (under Kaufmann's name),(I checked the original 1934/35 volumes on Google as well), and that it would have expired (under a 70. p.m.a) rule in 2002, the original deletion reason no longer applies, as it would seem on the evidence so far it wasn't published in US in compliance with the then formalities.

The issue of a possible URAA revival remains though. :( ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 13:56, 27 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Philippines has a 50pma term. The author died (it appears) on September 1, 1942, so the Philippine copyright should have expired before the URAA date, so it would not have been restored. Carl Lindberg (talk) 15:33, 28 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Oppose. First their permission regarding the press materials that you linked (here in English) relates only to the text and the company visual identity (logo). It does not say anything about arbitrary images from that company's website. I even think they only mean the text of their press releases, not of their website in general. Second, the image in question is not part of their press photo collection. Their general terms of use state: "REGANOSA website – including all its contents, the website programming and its design – is completely protected by copyright. It is expressly forbidden to reproduce, communicate, distribute or transform any of these protected elements unless REGANOSA explicitly allows it.". Therefore we would need an explicit release through OTRS from Reganosa for this picture. Lupo 10:54, 28 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
