Since the subject died in 2002 at age 91, this appears to be at least fifty years old. If you are the actual photographer, then your claim of "own work" is accurate. If not, we will need a license from the actual photographer or his heirs, see OTRS. .     Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 14:41, 31 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This file is a picture of Jupitar performing live, taken by our colleague Ameyaw Debrah and was posted on his blog www.ameyawdebrah.com early this year.

We have persmission to use this picture but unfortunately we cannot find the original link where this picture was posted. It is only available on instagram and facebook, in which the owner of the picture has tagged Jupitar.

Bloody sexy Jpeg image to undelete.[edit]

I don't understand the deletion of a image that is the cover to an anthology that I have a short story published in and have full permitted right to use. I understand copy right law very well, and I don't see how you can just decide to delete something on the maybe its a violation or via some troll reporting it as such without contacting me first. Please undelete.

 Not done. It is a copyright violation because the copyright is owned by the publishers rather than the author of one story. We operate under a precautionary principle which means that possible copyright violations must be deleted unlesss they have been explicitly licensed by the copyright holder. If you wish to have the image restored, you should ask the copyright holder to read COM:OTRS and send a license statement to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org using the sample statement at COM:ET.

Il y a en effet une signature, mais Le site de la bibliohtèque dit "Les images animées ou non, les sons et les vidéos présents sur le site sont (sauf mention contraire) des documents libres de droits" ( http://www.bn-r.fr/fr/mention.php ).

Honnêtement, l'explication donnée ici n'a aucun sens d'un point de vue juridique.

Also, we could do without "abusively removed" and "abusively deleted" in these requests. It has turned out that two of them were entirely correctly removed and the third, while OK for Commons, did not have the source cited in the usual way. Commons Admins delete around 1,500 images a day. Around one tenth of one percent of those are honest mistakes, and the incidence of abuse may be three or four in every million deletions. In such cases the Admin responsible often loses his position. .     Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 19:45, 5 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • The images are small and have no EXIF, so it is suspected that you are not the actual photographer as you claimed.

URAA: 540 files mass-deleted by Fastily, that are still all redlinks.[edit]

In Yann's close of Commons:Massive_restoration_of_deleted_images_by_the_URAA, Yann wrote, "Deleted files can be restored after a discussion in COM:UDR.

This image was deleted with the reason "not covered by FOP in the Netherlands". The dresses in the image are as explained in the discussion released by Yves St Laurent. So the reason must refer to the painting by Mondriaan. The page Com:FOP says "... which are made to be permanently located in public places, as long as the work is depicted as it is located in the public space." In the image a painting located in a public place, the Haagse Gemeente Museum, is visible. Only one painting is displayed. Therefore, freedom of panorama does apply. Please undelete the image.

This picture was uploaded on both the official website hinduvision.com as well as the official facebook group before being uploaded on facebook. Using the official camera of the Hindu Heritage Centre, this picture was not taken from a drone or helicopter. There is a radio tower on the corner of the property, under the supervision of a technician, a picture was taken from the radio tower of the Hindu Heritage Centre. As for the size, I can easily send the biggest size if that is really an issue, as the photo is still on the camera. Again I want to make clear that I as a representative of the Hindu Heritage Centre own full exclusive rights for the image, I am also the admin for the official facebook page and website page which explains how the picture has been found all over the internet.

REQUESTING THE UN-DELETION OF FILE: BMT_Advert-Worthy.jpg

Whilst I admit that there has been submitted a request for deletion on the (subjective) basis that the photograph in my photograph is blurry or the camera focus is in the wrong area of the .jpg; I feel that without this picture of the SUBWAY's flagship sandwich -- the Italian BMT -- we are left with photographs which do not accurately present the contents of the sandwich sufficiently. The BMT is famous for it's generous portions of 3 distinct meats and appropriate salads and dressings. The only other file in the Commons section is a full length/footlong, toasted version of the sandwich. The meats are not visible (presumably lost within the sandwich's fold) -- we can only see a row of salad contents but no apparent sauce. The title claims that it is an Italian BMT, but the picture shows us no evidence of this. at first glance, it could even be a Veggie Delight which contains no meat! I am only speculating, however. : https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/2d/Subway_BMT.jpg

The image: BMT_Advert-Worthy.jpg was made by myself at the time I was employed in a Subway store. I followed the strict sandwich building guide, portion-control and presentation which leads to a sandwich which not only could appear on a photographical commercial still but one which emerges as a prime example of what the Subway sandwiches are built to look like, despite customer requests for customisation and the rushed demeanour of certain staff can lead to unrecognisable food items; like the example I discussed earlier.

About myself. After delivering products to this consistent standard, I was approached by upper management and marketing to revise the correspondence and training materials delivered to new employees; as well as involving myself with the food marketing side of the business; long story short, my sandwiches (and now pizzas and burgers) have been featured on billboards and TV advertising. So I know an important picture when I see one.

The file BMT_Advert-Worthy.jpg conveys the ingredients and the build quality of Subway's sandwiches and help to indicate that the product can be ordered and delivered in a way which meets the high standard of food advertising the public have come to expect. I think my image helps with this goal and would therefore ask that you undelete the picture so it may one day be the face of Italian BMT on Wikipedia again.

Thank you.

  •  Oppose Google translate does not do well with the remarks above, but I think there are two points. First, he comments on the fact that the "vote" in the DR was 7 to 2 in favor of keep. As we all should know, DRs are not votes and the closing Admin is free to ignore any comments that do not correctly reflect the law and Commons policy. "Fair use" is also mentioned (as it was by several of the "keep" voters, which is why they were, correctly, ignored. Again, as we all should know, "fair use" is not permitted on Commons.

James Lwoodward, actually you don't have any evidence that to proved me that I have created Tvb10data or Tony YKS accounts in commons. Except you check the IP records in today. Your action makes me feel very disappointed and angry. If you still try to attack me again. I will boycott commons and it is not good for Wikipedia development.Wing1990hk (talk) 14:14, 16 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I support the request of undeletion. Even though it is not a vote, users that support deletion are outnumbered. Tvb10data is saying that, overriding our objection and deleting the photo is tyranny, as well as "river crabbing" (censorship). Tvb10data is also complaining that the rules of Wikimedia Commons are self-contradictory. I don't know much about who enforced those rules and whether the rules are self-contradictory or not (I will check this later), but deleting the photo, despite that users supporting deletion are minority, is obviously a bad decision. Ending the discussion by ignoring the objection of majority is dictatorial.
In my opinion, this controversy is about the conflict between copyright and "self-censorship". I agree that copyright has to be protected, but it is not the reason to allow "self-censorship", because acts of "self-censorship" will severely damage the reputation of Wikimedia Foundation. Photos are necessary to provide facts about the Umbrella Movement, as well as other articles. We need to strike a balance, because this issue will possibly affect all photos regardless of the contents. Rather than to remove all photos about Umbrella Movement no matter how many users oppose deletion, we should review the policy of Wikimedia Commons, in order to solve this problem.
I am outraged that Tvb10data is accused as "sock puppets" and blocked only because of the undeletion request. Accusing users as "sock puppets" and blocking them do absolutely NOTHING to achieve consensus. Instead, it will be considered as a threat to the freedom of speech, and will completely destroy the reputation of Wikimedia Foundation! From the User Contributions of Tvb10data in Wikipedia, Tvb10data is clearly NOT a "sock puppet"! Accusing Tvb10data as the "sock puppet" of Wing1990hk, just because of Tvb10data's demand of undeletion, is clearly unreasonable! The act of blocking Tvb10data is tyrannizing other users and threatening the freedom of speech! Furthermore, as stated by another Wikipedia user, "Hong Kong is a city-state of highest population density in the world. Accusing puppet by the similarity of IP addresses should not apply on Hong Kong Wiki users." I demand to unblock Tvb10data immediately!

and File:Markham Maniam at a Drama in Canada.JPG

Based on my discussions with the nominator for the deletion here and the admin who deleted here, I request to undelete the above image.Pathmaraman (talk) 14:20, 15 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

 Oppose I don't think that either of the reasons given proves that the subjects are notable. Generally our standards are the same as those of WP and donating a scholarship -- unless it were millions of dollars -- or performing in a non-professional drama are not evidence of notability. Both User:Antan0 and User:Fastily said that you could start an UnDR, which is,of course, your right, but neither suggested that he would support it.

Furthermore, the first of the images is a formal portrait of the two people in an oval frame and clearly shows the moire artifacts of having been copied from a printed work. Unless you are the actual photographer and publisher of the printed work, your claim of "own work" is incorrect.

The second image also shows moire artifacts, so it is also copied from a printed work. The same problem applies to it as well. .     Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 16:18, 15 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

If only the Notable subjects can have a space on Wikimedia Commons, can you explain on which basis these images are decorating at the Commons?
Yes, I have scanned the images on a anniversary book(2002) on them; I have the permission from the son of the diseased.Pathmaraman (talk) 00:57, 16 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
To your first question, many of them are user page images, which, within limits, are permitted. Others should be deleted. We have almost 24 million images on Commons. My best guess is that at any one moment about 1% -- almost a quarter of a million -- should be deleted for one reason or another. For any given image you can always find a similar image on Commons, one that ought to be deleted.
As for your second point, the copyright belongs to the actual photographers or their heirs. The son has no right to license the images. .     Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 10:54, 16 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Your first point is the grey area in Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons which many can't understand; I am there since 2006 on both and edited under a different name and left the account over geopolitical issues.
I disagree with your second point on this case. If these people are VIPs, their photos will come under the ethics of the professional photography. We can't assume the usage of these photographs will affect the photographers' professions or their income source.Pathmaraman (talk) 09:38, 17 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
There is no basis in copyright law or in Commons policy for "their photos will come under the ethics of the professional photography". Try telling that to the Associated Press or to Bachrach both of whom enforce their copyrights vigorously. These are copyright violations, plain and simple. .     Jim . . . .

  • The image was deleted because it appears on the copyrighted page http://kanaduchi.livejournal.com/12576.html. Policy requires that licenses of images which have appeared elsewhere under copyright be confirmed by the photographer using the procedure at OTRS. Once that is done, the image will be restored to Commons without further action on your part. You will, however, have to replace it in the WP article. Please note that like all WMF projects, OTRS is entirely volunteers and often runs a backlog of several weeks..     Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 14:23, 19 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hälsningar Gunnar Ericsson — Preceding unsigned comment added by Medfak1 (talk • contribs) 12:34, 20 November 2014‎ (UTC)[reply]

  •  Oppose The file description says that the subject, author, and source are all the same person. Since this is probably not a selfie, that is unlikely to be correct. If Google Translate is correct with the message above, the photographer is one Gunnar Ericsson, who has given a very informal permission for Erlanson-Albertsson to "use the photo anywhere". The bulk of the statement above is therefore irrelevant and incorrect because "I hereby declare that I, Charlotte Erlanson-Albertsson am the creator and / or sole copyright owner of File: Charlotte Erlanson.jpg." is not correct. She is certainly not the creator or the sole copyright holder and Ericsson's informal permission does not give Erlanson-Albertsson the right to sub-license the image to Commons or elsewhere. In order to restore this we will need a free license acceptable to Commons from Ericsson, using the procedure at OTRS. .     Jim . . . .

The file in question was made by me on Photoshop. The usage of the club logo is licence-free, as can be seen on the official website of the club: http://www.fcsarajevo.ba/en/grb. Furthermore, the historical logos that I used in my Photoshop work are also licence-free because they have been debunked for years and can be found here: http://kassiesa.nl/uefa/clubs/html/FK-Sarajevo.html. PeppermintSA (talk) 16:23, 20 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Oppose What I see at the named site is a clear copyright notice. There is no indication whatever of a free license. "Debunked for years" does make anything free of copyright. Depending on the life-span of the creator, a copyright can easily be in place for 100 years after creation and 150 years is by no means impossible. The second site cited above has no indication of a free license and specifically notes that permission of the copyright holder may be needed. .     Jim . . . .

Though this image is subject to copyright, its use is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

This is a historically significant work that could not be conveyed in words. Inclusion is for information, education, and analysis only. Its inclusion in the article(s) adds significantly to the article(s) because it shows a major type of work produced by the artist. The image is a low resolution copy of the original work and would be unlikely to impact sales of prints or be usable as a desktop backdrop. It is not replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted image of comparable educational value.

This file has been nominated by Green Giant, indicating the Privacy Policies of the SECOM (based on the the Decree 100 of 2006) forbids the comermcial uses of the media published in the government Websites.

But, in 2010, Ena von Baer wrote and published the Oficio Ord. 112/14 in reference of the Law 19.032, that explicitilly instructs all the media released by the Government of Chile and its institutions must be licensed under the CC-BY. Therefore, all the media works (pictures, audio and video) released/published after the December 30 of 2010 are automatically covered under the {{CC-GobCL}}, according to the current Law.

Also, the Article 4 of the Decree 14 0f 2014 derogated the Decree 100 of 2006, making the Privacy Policies indicated by Green Giant also derogated and not longer valid. Only the Oficio Ord. 112/14 of 2010, the Law 19.799 and the Law 19.032 (and other Laws) are now valid and legal for this effect. So, this older file is also covered under the CC-BY license.

In summary, the file is efefctivelly covered under the CC-BY license according to the current Chilean Laws. So, please undelete this file.

Anyway, I' ve contacted to the Government of Chile according to the Ley de Transparencia, in order to clarify the doubts of the non-chilean people that are not familiar with the Chilean laws, and specifically, the licensing of the National Anthem of Chile. --Amitie 10g (talk) 19:52, 12 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

There are several issues here. Amitie has explained here (for the first time) that the decree on which the problematic privacy policy is based has been overruled. That's good. However, there is also the question of whether the Chilean government actually owns all of the necessary copyrights in order to make this performance PD. The national anthem, as a work, is probably PD, but musical performances have many copyrights and it is not clear that all of them are PD in this case.
Orchestral works have separate copyrights for the music, for the lyrics (if any), for the arrangement (the composer of a national anthem usually writes it for one instrument -- an orchestral performance requires that it be arranged separately for each of the orchestral instruments), and for the performance itself. Even if the government says that the work is PD, please make sure that you can prove that the government actually owns the copyright to the performance -- I don't know the Chilean law on the subject, but in the USA for that to be true, all of the orchestra would have to be employees of the Federal government. .     Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 13:26, 13 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
No doubts about all the works released after December 30 of 2010 are automatically covered under the CC-BY (that the Chilean Laws say clearly), but the licensing of the works released between June to December of 2010 (like this specific file) is disputed, I agree; as I know, these works are also covered under the CC-BY (unlike the Patrimonio cultural común or PD, as I previously mentioned). So, as I said, I've contacted to the Government of Chile, so the answer will clarify the actual licensing of the National Anthem, and will be the definitive answer to the case. --Amitie 10g (talk) 18:29, 13 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Update: I just recived the answer from the Government of Chile. The official answer says the file is efefctivelly covered under the CC-BY license. Bellow is the email recived (in spanish) (publicly available according to the Ley de Transparencia):

ANT.: Ingreso Nº AA001W-0000915

Estimado David Muñoz Vergara:

Se ha recibido en esta Institución, la solicitud de información pública citada en el antecedente, mediante la cual requiere lo siguiente:

“Estimados. Solicito información sobre el uso y licenciamiento de los símbolos oficiales del estado, específicamente el Himno nacional dispuesto para descarga en http://www.gob.cl/himno-nacional/ Según la información provista, dichas versiones del Himno están publicadas bajo la licencia CC-BY-SA, la cual permite usos comerciales, pero en otro documento contradice eso. El problema es que el archivo fue convertido de MP3 a OGG y subido a Wikimedia Commons para ser usado en Wikipedia, pero ha sido borrado debido a las inconsistencia en el licenciamiento de esta "obra derivada" de un trabajo del siglo XIX. Si el himno original está en el Patrimonio cultural común, ¿Eastán estas versiones del Himno Nacional en el Patrimonio cultural común también o bajo una licencia específica? Agradezco una pronta respuesta Atte: David Muñoz V.”

Al respecto, informo lo que a continuación se indica:

1.- La Presidencia de la República, tiene como función apoyar en todo lugar, a S.E. la Presidenta de la República y sus asesores, brindándoles los servicios necesarios para su gestión, administrando eficaz y eficientemente los recursos humanos, financieros y materiales disponibles, fundados en los valores de lealtad y transparencia y entre otros suscribir los contratos de suministros de bienes y servicios que se requieran para el desarrollo y funciones de esta institución. Aclarada la misión institucional, la Presidencia de la República no concentra la información de todos los órganos y servicios públicos que forman parte de la Administración del Estado, solo aquella que dice relación con la misión institucional.

2.- En virtud de lo dispuesto en el artículo 13 y 30 de la Ley Nº 20.285 y Reglamento respectivo, dispone que: “En caso que el órgano de la Administración requerido no sea competente para ocuparse de la solicitud de información o no posea los documentos solicitados, enviará de inmediato la solicitud a la autoridad que deba conocerla según el ordenamiento jurídico, en la medida que ésta sea posible de individualizar, informando de ello al peticionario. Cuando no sea posible individualizar al órgano competente o si la información solicitada pertenece a múltiples organismos, el órgano requerido comunicará dichas circunstancias al solicitante”, por lo cual informo a usted que derivo la solicitud en referencia, a la Subsecretaría General de Gobierno, del Ministerios Secretaría General de Gobierno, mediante Oficio Nº 1001, de fecha 17 de noviembre de 2014, el que adjunto.

Saluda atentamente a usted,

The people at Presidency have, basically, derivated the request to another State organ, the Government General Subsecretariat.

In fact, it does not say anything of value. --Diego Grez return fire 19:26, 17 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I have made several transparency requests over time to the Presidency of Chile, and based on the text you've attached above, they haven't given you any response in regard to the copyright status of the Chilean anthem. As I told you, we'll have to wait until the Subsecretariat responds, regards, Diego Grez return fire 17:34, 18 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Das betreffende Bild zeigt die US_Sängerin Kimmie Rhodes. Dieses Bild wurde mir von Kimmie Rhodes selbst zur Verfügung gestellt. Kimmie wird dieses Bild als Cover ihrer im März 2015 erscheinenden CD benutzen. Das Bild selbst wurde von dem Fotografen Gray Hawn gemacht.

Wahrscheinlich liegt mein Fehler darin, dass meine Beschreibung des Bildes nicht ausreichend war (Es war mein erster Versuch, ein Bild hier reinzustellen).

Sorry for the late answer. I don't go in wikimedia commons as often as before. This file was obtained wy making a picture of a letter in a museum. I am not the author of the letter, but I am the author of the picture. The letter was written in 1909. It relates the finding of the cap blanc neolitic carvings, and as such is of historical interrest. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Berrucomons (talk • contribs) 15:13, 22 November 2014‎ (UTC)[reply]

File:MediaWiki_Vagrant_Visualization.jpg (And possibly other files uploaded by Willowbl00)[edit]

I'd like to use File:MediaWiki_Vagrant_Visualization.jpg on mw:MediaWiki-Vagrant, to help break up what is currently quite a large wall of text. It was originally deleted for being out of scope (see Commons:Deletion_requests/Files_uploaded_by_Willowbl00). If I did use it on that page (And other editors don't disagree with my adding it and revert me), that would automatically take care of the scope issue for that file. I also think that perhaps Willowbl00's other files could use more careful discussion about if they are in scope. They seem more useful for an educational purpose than a significant portion of things that are regularly uploaded and kept here. It should be noted that there is also a related thread at Commons:Village_pump#Visual_representations_of_lectures.2C_concepts.2C_and_theories. Thanks. Bawolff (talk) 20:31, 13 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I personally don't have a use for the other files (The vagrant one is the only one that really applies to a wiki where I edit). I find the deletion rationale for the files somewhat questionable as it seems to me like the material is clearly educational in nature (albeit not with the formal tone necessary to say illustrate Wikipedia) and thus probably in scope (Or at least I guess them to be, I can't look at said files). Bawolff (talk) 22:00, 13 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure where is the best place to respond, so I guess here, I would also support undeletion, I suspect this is just a misunderstanding and that the nominator and the deleter did not realise the use of these files Oxyman (talk) 15:26, 14 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Also not sure where to respond. Posted the following over here:
AkiraChix Women In Technology Conference], which they've use on their site about engaging with high school girls with in-school programs towards the empowerment of Kenyan women in technology, would be legitimate? If so, what process do I go through? Request an undelete with a reference to the stubbed page here, the less relevant page here, and add Category:Technology_stubs as there doesn't seem to be a page dedicated to ICT for girls in Kenya?
As another example, to be sure I understand, the framework for consent policies currently in use by the Engine Room and Amnesty International to teach people about how to address consent in their digital initiatives (I just loaded the image directly to their servers instead), do I need to tag that as Amnesty, even though it's not directly on their Wikipedia page? And then, do I request it be undeleted?

Out of that large DR, we've so far had one person ask for restoration of one file they had a specific use for. This doesn't lead me to agree that the whole huge bunch, none of which were in use at the time of the deletion should be restored. INeverCry 23:43, 16 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I'm ok with this, tho a bit sad. In future, at Wikimania etc, should I link specific files to the topic it is relevant to? Should I not upload things unless specifically requested? Etc. SJ, any thoughts on this? Willowbl00 (talk) 00:18, 17 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

EugeneZelenko: Respectfully, I don't think that's how I'd define education. I would say its about learning something that someone didn't know before (Or to quote COM:EDUSE - "providing knowledge; instructional or informative [broadly construed]"). Educational material comes in a multitude of forms, and what sort of form is appropriate depends on the audience, the context and what is attempted to be taught. Material that is entirely inappropriate in one context could still be usefully educational in another. The reason I bring up the subject of undeletion for the remaining images is that it seems inconsistent that these files be deleted well other files are considered unquestionably in scope as "educational" well at the same time are probably in reality much less likely to educate someone. If you hit the random file button, you get an image like File:Hutchinson_Island_FL_Gilberts_HoR_beach06.jpg (First one I got when I hit the random file button). Now I think images like that one are important and should be here, but realistically, someone is more likely to learn something from Willowbl00's images than that picture of the beach (And this isn't even bringing up the more questionable areas of commons' collection, like anything ever uploaded from mobile). Finally, while usage outside of Wikimedia shouldn't really affect whether a file is in scope, as that is an intrinsic property of the file for non-in use files, if material is being used outside of Wikimedia in educational contexts (And isn't what COM:SCOPE calls "Excluded educational content"), I'm not sure how one could reasonably say that the material could not realistically be used for an educational purpose, given the existence of such a counter-example.

Irrelevant, opinion. I'm surprised at the bigotry against disabled people expressed here, on commons of all places. Isn't there supposed to be laws demanding organisations make reasonable adoptions for disabled people? Now I did try to assume good faith originally, supposing that there was a misunderstanding. but if the the Nominator and deleter actually understand the use of these files, yet continue to oppose them here the only conclusion left is that they are very bigoted individuals, there really is no other alternative to consider. In the face of such bigotry is it possible to have an independent individual, without some sort of hateful agenda against people with learning disabilities look at this case? Oxyman (talk) 16:18, 18 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Restore I have a difficulty to understand opinions like "I think education is process of becoming adult, so concepts should be adult, not forever childish"; which is an insult to the artist. Further, "Nobody prevents to create same diagrams in formal style." Note "formal" may very boring and so incapable to bring the attraction of the viewers. It seems wrong people (not all people are capable to understand the value of all topics) evaluate the matter. Better reopen the DR (and temporarily restore the files) and allow some fresh eyes to re evaluate them. Jee 11:06, 20 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
You have difficulty understanding those opinions as evidently you aren't just a bigot. You are correct that the above contributor insults disabled people. No doubt the same contributor would never dare insult someone who has a more fashionable or visible disability such as being in a wheelchair, such is the cowardice of such people. Does Wikimedia have a equal acces policy of a policy against discrimination? Oxyman (talk) 15:11, 21 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think so as EugeneZelenko is a respected user here having crat privileges. He may have a language difficulty to express his real thoughts, or simply failed to understand this topic. :( Jee 15:26, 21 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
As I said in my post above "I did try to assume good faith originally, supposing that there was a misunderstanding" but that user did not change his actions and continued with his bigotry. contributors here have to be judged by their actions, not their "crat privileges". You may not understand yourself how ingrained bigotry can be against certain types of disabilities, titles, respect and privileges given by a society that does at large condone this type of bigotry really prove nothing in this case. Though I may be wrong, that user could restore the files and wholeheartedly apologise at the first opportunity. If not I can only assume I am totally correct. Now I ask again, Does Wikimedia have a equal access policy or a policy against discrimination? Oxyman (talk) 15:40, 21 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I appreciate your throwing in, User:Oxyman, but I find the focus on bigotry, perceived or real, as distracting from the conversation at hand. Willowbl00 (talk) 16:38, 21 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think the problem of the bigotry here can so easily be dismissed as perceived as the actions of such people speak for themselves and sadly I'm afraid when you are confronted by such bigots there is little point in holding discussions. Again I ask, Does Wikimedia have a equal access policy or a policy against discrimination? Oxyman (talk) 19:58, 21 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
wmf:Non discrimination policy Jee 02:53, 22 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Well if that policy means anything these files should be reinstated, I note that this is yet to happen. Also people who fail to follow that policy should loose their "crat privileges" should they not? Oxyman (talk) 15:32, 22 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm; I took time to follow you. Do those files are useful/intended for people with such disabilities? Jee 16:16, 22 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
These files are for people who prefer Visual learning as opposed to walls of impenetrable text, this preference can be a result wholly or partially of dyslexia but also from other factors. This shouldn't be a disability but in a society that insists everyone learns in the same way it is. The removal of these files combined with the pontification expressed by users here as to exactly how we should be educating ourselves does amount to discrimination and intolerance against people who have learning disabilities or prefer to learn in a different way Oxyman (talk) 16:49, 22 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Jee — thanks for the ping and apologies for the lateness in answering. I understand that the file appears to be somewhat controversial due to its style (comic-like rather than an academic diagram), but given that it is currently in use on a sister Wikimedia project (MediaWiki.org) and can be useful for an educational purpose (here: helping explain what MediaWiki Vagrant is), I would opt to have it restored rather than deleted. If need be, I would also encourage a further discussion regarding similar files. odder (talk) 20:53, 22 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, I recently tried to update my town's collage of images in its info box. I used Flickr images (all from the same user) and used the correct upload references and Flickr attribution. The user has allowed free use of the images and proper, full credit has been noted to the user by username and name - plus a link to his profile.

If this deletion could be reviewed it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

  • Reopened. We don't know when the author of the letter, Raymond Peyrille, died, so there may still be a literary copyright in place. He was foreman of the dig, so probably 30+ years old in 1909, but probably not more than 50, so he could have easily lived past 1944.

I've previously requested the undeletion of this file, but because the lack of evidences provided by me, Administrators decided to keep the file deleted.

Therefore, I've investigated deeper and requested information to the INAPI, DIBAM and the Gendarmerie of Chile, but I'm still awaiting an official answer.

But, according to the Oficio Ord. 112/14 of 2010 and the Law 19.032, all the media released by the Government of Chile and its institutions (including the Gendarmerie of Chile) after 2010, are covered under the CC-BY license. This is discussed deeper in an above thread, requesting the UD of another important file (the National Anthem).

Were both deleted for possible COM:COPYVIO

Artwork for Unvanquished is all at least Creative Commons BY with only a few exceptions (mainly sound effects) not exhibited in these images. Additionally I (Veyrdite, William Hales) am part of the development team and these screenshots are Copyright Unvanquished Development.

I likely did not put enough licensing and source-linking information on the commons pages for these two images, but it's been a while and I can't check until after they are undeleted. If it is missing I will add it. --Veyrdite (talk) 03:01, 26 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

File:后羿射日.png was deleted as "copyvio" without any further discussion.

A very simple map of a bird distribution that was made by User:Steve_nova on the English Wikipedia and uploaded there in 2004 and when the Commons project was created, it was automatically moved. Apparently the author was indicated as User:Steve_nova but the source was not marked as "own work". Image has been around for 10 years and there is no indication that this has been copied from any pre-existing source. It was speedily deleted (without evidence of copyright violation) - deletions of old images should go through a better process - these files were uploaded before policies were in place or even before Commons came into existence. Shyamal (talk) 03:16, 19 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

What you say makes sense, however we are still left with a map that has no source. Obviously the base map is not the work of Steve Nova -- he took it from somewhere. Back in 2004 PD base maps were not as easy to find as they are now, so we cannot assume that the base map is PD. I also think that this map would be better if it were not on a world map, but one of Indonesia and Australia, since that is the only area where Corvus orru appears. .     Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 10:59, 19 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with your point - the source can be fixed as own work - whether that base map is PD or not seems to be arguable and should therefore go via a deletion discussion. I agree also with the point that a better map can be made with SVG with just the region in focus. The use of speedy deletion to remove what appears to be unsourced (which might even be the result of vandalism) of content that has been around for a decade sets a very unfortunate precedent for unaccounted content erosion. In other words, undelete and if needed, use the deletion discussion process. Shyamal (talk) 09:16, 20 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Handling of old files are tough, and I think Ellin Beltz should be more careful. If I remember well, he she added "no source" to some US Gov files recently which was reverted by Dennis. Better ask expert opinion than deleting files in use for years. Jee 11:11, 20 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Ellin is a woman, a very active Admin. I agree that it would be good if we had a policy that files that predate Commons should always go to DR rather than being a {{Speedy}}, so I will  Support restoring this file if the Admin restoring it starts a DR at the same time. .     Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 11:40, 20 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Seems a wise opinion; thanks. Jee 12:31, 20 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
There is also the point of the Source of the Information. That map (and it's base map) didn't spring into being without a source of information. How is one to know that this is a real map, based on real data without a source? I'm sorry if Jkadavoor thinks I should be "more careful", I do the best I can assuming AGF at all times. I don't mind if my "no sources" are reverted by other admins, this is a cooperative project we're supposed to work together for the benefit of the Commons, and the very few "speedies", "no sources" and "no permissions" which have been "problems" pale in the light of the thousands I've dealt with which have not been "problems." I will be delighted to send old files with problems to DR's instead as suggested by (Jameslwoodward). Sounds like a great idea. Cheers! Ellin Beltz (talk) 18:56, 20 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
User:Ellin Beltz, the file was used as an example of how an "ideal" bird taxobox should look on the English language bird wikiproject, so it has had a fair number of eyes looking over its accuracy. That said it is most certainly not "ideal". Glad you agree that the deletion request is preferable to speedy deletion. Shyamal (talk) 23:39, 20 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
User:Ellin Beltz: It seems (I can't see deleted files or its histories) that file is here for more than ten years, transferred from other wiki, and in use. So such files need to be discussed (DRed). I've no doubt about your intentions; but old files are a mess, and need to be handled carefully. Please don't add {{No permission}} or {{No source}} on them. :) Jee 02:25, 21 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@ Shyamal: There is no evidence of vandalism to the file in the file history. Ellin Beltz (talk) 03:49, 21 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Jkadavoor, The file was not speedily deleted, nor did I put a no permission or no source on this file. The file was listed as "no source" by Josve05a. At that time the entire file template read:
== {{int:filedesc}} ==
{{Information
|Description =
|Source =
|Date =
|Author = {{Template:User at project|Steve_nova|wikipedia|en}}
|Permission =
|other_versions =
== {{int:license-header}} ==
{{GFDL-user-w|User:Steve_nova|migration=relicense}}
[[Category:Corvidae distribution maps]]
[[Category:Corvus orru]]

As you can see, the file is light on description, source, and date. It is up to the uploader to provide source and license; this file has a license, but no source making licensing a problem. User Josve05a was thus quite correct: there was no source of data, none of base map. The file was placed as no source at 13:04, 8 November 2014 by Josve05a. The file remained with the warning tag on it for eight days, when at 02:31, 16 November 2014, I deleted the file. At any time during that eight days anyone else was welcome to take the file to Deletion Nomination. I saw it for the first and last time on 16 November when - in the absence of any source - I deleted it. I saw no difficulty in removing the image - but will take Jim's suggestion in future when I am nominating images for deletion, but remind all that in the absence of any prior written guideline to this effect, compliance at some time in the past to a guideline suggested today was quite obviously impossible in the absence of a functional timemachine. If you have same, please forward it, I can certainly use one! Cheers! Ellin Beltz (talk) 03:46, 21 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

That's obviously not what the copyright holder wants to do, since they also removed the part of the standard consent declaration that states that "I grant anyone the right to use the work in a commercial product". If they don't want to do that, they shouldn't upload it to Commons. Dual licensing isn't a solution to the problem at hand, and suggesting it just risks causing confusion.

Multiple files for fair-use on English Wikinews[edit]

Request temporary undeletion

The following two files are (well, were) in-use on an archived English Wikinews article, and are perfectly acceptable for local upload and fair-use on that project.

--Brian McNeil / talk 11:39, 29 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Rather than undel, would emailing you copies do the job? If suggested when a DR is active, there's a bot that can handle this. -- (talk) 11:45, 29 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'd want the full image page details; so it would not just require the images, but page details too. Since I know one of the images is Ralf's, putting his details on it is important for attribution. --Brian McNeil / talk 15:37, 29 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    I have had the image page text and image file emailed to me in the past, though I'm unsure how easy that is as a workflow for the average, less tech-minded, admin. :-) -- (talk) 15:48, 29 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
✓ temp undeleted Tell me when done, and I'll re-delete and close. — Revi 15:52, 29 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • They're up locally on enWN now. For future reference, anything that ends up in a published Wikinews article would be eligible for local upload; it would be nice if there was a mechanism to deal with that; one which does not require Wikinewsies to watch for deletion requests on Commons. --Brian McNeil / talk 16:38, 29 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
✓ deleted again IIRC there was a bot to upload fair-use materials, but I don't remeber the name. — Revi 16:47, 29 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Addendum
The bot in question is Commons fair use upload bot.
I have created User:Fæ/Wikinews DRs which will update each day and may meet Brian's needs. Following up on his talk page... -- (talk) 21:37, 29 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
