I scanned a postcard posted in 1905 at Amiens (France); there is a lot of old postcard on Commons , so why this one is deleted ? Geoleplubo (talk) 13:31, 29 June 2016 (UTC)

 Oppose 1905 is 20 years too recent to assume that the author has been dead since 1946. If you can show that the postcard does not have the photographer's name on it, then it can be kept as an anonymous work. It was deleted, however, because you used a strange format for the file description with the result that none of it actually showed. Also, you claimed to be the author, which you clearly are not, and you have no right to license it under CC-BY -- it is either PD-OLD or not acceptable. .     Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 14:30, 29 June 2016 (UTC)

you write = «If you can show that the postcard does not have the photographer's name on it» ; question : the photographer's name is not on the postcard, how I can show it ? about the strange format for the file description it's not me who upload this file from pcd.wikipedia to Commons. Geoleplubo (talk) 15:49, 29 June 2016 (UTC)
You can show, that the postcard is anonymous, by uploading front side and back side into Commons. This can be done using the same filename: at first back side and then front side on top of it, so that everybody can see: author is not mentioned. After that license {{PD-scan|PD-Anonymous-EU}} will apply. Taivo (talk) 07:34, 30 June 2016 (UTC)

 Not done: Per Taivo. Back of postcard should be uploaded, then front of postcard should be uploaded over it with the "Upload a new version of this file" function. --INeverCry 22:43, 30 June 2016 (UTC)

caneria2013.jpg, caneria2016.jpg

caneria2013.jpg and caneria2016.jpg are covers from CDs recorded by Cañeria band. These images were taken from my website (www.rockhechovenezuela.com/C1/caneria.html) and I´m autorized by Caneria band (www.caneria.com)

--RockVzla (talk) 02:13, 30 June 2016 (UTC)

 Oppose In the case of images that have appeared previously on the Web without a free license, policy requires that the actual copyright holder (usually that is the photographer) must send a free license to OTRS. If the Cañeria band claims to be the copyright owner, it must include a copy of the written agreement transferring the copyright. .     Jim . . . .

In Flickr: File:Collage de San Pedro Garza Garcia.jpg. --Balsupli (talk) 04:46, 30 June 2016 (UTC)

 Support? The file is situated in https://www.flickr.com/photos/ricardogz10/16855134437/ and it has free license there. Deletion was in my opinion mistake. Taivo (talk) 07:30, 30 June 2016 (UTC)
 Oppose It is marked on Flickr with the Public Domain Mark, which is not acceptable on Commons because it is not a license. It can be revoked at will. In complete contrast to the CC licenses, the person using the PDM explicitly denies any responsibility for knowing the actual state of the copyright -- he merely expresses an opinion that the work may be free. A CC license requires the user to state that he or she is the copyright holder. .     Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 10:04, 30 June 2016 (UTC)

copyright expired --Filbluz (talk) 22:37, 17 June 2016 (UTC)

 Support These were deleted because they do not have a license or reason why they are PD. When they are restored, they should all have {{PD-old-100-1923}} added. By the way, most of these are old enough so that it is incorrect to say "copyright expired". They are older than the concept of copyright and therefore they never had a copyright. .     Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 09:21, 18 June 2016 (UTC)

@Filbluz can you please provide sources for this files? A source information "internet" is not helpful. It does not allow for verification if this files show what you say they show. The files will be here on this project because we assume you uploaded them in good faith, but the information is unverified and the files are useless for educational purposes. Thats a bad situation for all of us and a worsening for Wikimedia Commons. See en:Help:Referencing_for_beginners#Information_to_include for example. I request not to undelete this files but upload them again with accurate source information. --Martin H. (talk) 12:27, 19 June 2016 (UTC)
I do not believe that we should be asking people to reupload a file that's already been deleted. Citing the original Internet sources is nice, but it's not a huge step up on the verification process in many cases, and lack thereof does not prevent people for verifying them using Internet sources or paper sources themselves.--Prosfilaes (talk) 19:43, 20 June 2016 (UTC)
If it's obviously a scan of extremely old material, I'm not sure the Internet source is all that important for us. Really though we should document where we got them from, to give credit even though it's not germane to the copyright. But that can just as easily be updated as re-uploaded. Carl Lindberg (talk) 21:25, 20 June 2016 (UTC)
w:Battle of Cúl Dreimhne says that they do not predate the concept of copyright. By the time of most of those works, the basics of the copyright idea were in play; publishers had legal exclusivity of many of their works in Venice by the start of the 16th century.--Prosfilaes (talk) 19:51, 20 June 2016 (UTC)
Aha, Thank you. Perhaps you should edit the WP:EN article on Copyright, which was my source for the 18th century as the beginning of the concept. Of course, my comment was an aside -- whenever the concept started, these works have clearly been PD for centuries. .     Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 12:04, 21 June 2016 (UTC)

Please restore File:First National Anthem Of Ingushetia.ogg the official anthem of the Republic of Ingushetia, as this file may be freely distributed on the basis of {{PD-RU-exempt}}. Sheet music of the musical work also officially published in the law. Thanks. Adam-Yourist (talk) 11:54, 23 June 2016 (UTC)

As you know from the deletion request, this is not enough. Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Adam-Yourist. Thuresson (talk) 12:03, 23 June 2016 (UTC)
Is below source/info sufficient for the anthem to be considered to be in public domain in Russia?
From the "Public Domain. Textbook." by Sudarikov S.A.
"In the Russian Federation in the first category of un-copyrightable objects are ... state symbols and signs (flag, emblem, anthem, awards, banknotes and other signs)"
Aвторские Права. Учебник. Судариков С.А.:
В российской федерации к первой категории неохраняемых авторсим правом обьектов относятся ... государственные символы и знаки (флаг, герб, гимн, ордена, денежные и иные знаки)
LINK Rybkovich (talk) 01:52, 28 June 2016 (UTC)

Sheet music for the anthem may or may not be PD in Russia, but this is a performance, which is much more complicated. Music that is performed may have all of the following copyright holders:

  • Composer - may be covered by {{PD-RU-exempt}} (see below)
  • Lyricist - probably covered by PD-RU-exempt
  • Arranger - not covered by PD-RU-exempt
  • Performer(s) - not covered by PD-RU-exempt
  • Producer - not covered by PD-RU-exempt

{{PD-RU-exempt}} calls out "official documents". That probably includes the words to an anthem. It may well not include the music and certainly does not include the performance. .     Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 13:24, 28 June 2016 (UTC)

  •  Oppose We also need a United States copyright tag. If this is a government work, then {{PD-RU-exempt}} maybe counts as {{PD-self}} in the United States, although that's debatable. It's also unclear if or to what extent the file is covered by {{PD-RU-exempt}} in the first place. If this isn't a government work, then {{PD-RU-exempt}} doesn't count as {{PD-self}}, per [1]: toys are "PD-JP-exempt" in Japan, but Japanese toys are copyrighted in the United States, and the same would apply to PD-RU-exempt works (at least non-government works), and therefore a different copyright tag needs to be identified for the United States copyright. --Stefan2 (talk) 15:35, 28 June 2016 (UTC)
Jim - Regarding a bigger issue - I disagree with your doubts about notes being exempt. Russian government anthems are listed as excluded from copyright in a copyright textbook. An anthem consists of both music (notes) and lyrics, I think that it is reasonable to think that if notes were a protected part of an anthem that would be specifically stated. There are problems with copyrighting the notes - there would need to be specific approval to print notes for music classes and performances, which would go against the patriotic purpose of an anthem.
Stefan2 - I think we should go with PD-RU-exempt as the rational assumption would be that it is a government work.Rybkovich (talk) 17:22, 28 June 2016 (UTC)
Why should we assume that the song is a government work? How many national anthems are there which are government works? The Swedish national anthem is not a government work, for example.
The template {{PD-RU-exempt}} lists four things which are not subject to category:
  1. Official documents: Based on the description, this only covers various legal and administrative texts. An anthem is not a legal or administrative text but a work of fiction, so it would not appear that the song is covered by this line.
  2. State symbols and signs: This only seems to cover works of art, based on the listed examples. A song is not a work of art.
  3. Works of folk art: A song is not a work of folk art.
  4. News reports on events and facts: This essentially seems to mean that Russia doesn't copyright facts, but that's not relevant here.
Furthermore, none of the examples seems to cover performances or sound recordings. --Stefan2 (talk) 17:37, 28 June 2016 (UTC)

As written in the upload template "|Source={{transferred from|nn.wikipedia|}}" is not a valid source. There is no indication on this file who is the author of the piece, or the source of the recording. The release of the person performing cannot release the copyright. The line "This song was performed in 1944, and is not protected by copyright in Norway in consequence Copyright Act § 42" would imply that any song performed in 1944 would be automatically free of copyright due to Norwegian law, and I don't really think that's possible. Additional information is needed which was not available at the time I closed the file. COM:EVID requires the uploader to provide complete information. Cheers! Ellin Beltz (talk) 18:36, 26 June 2016 (UTC)

 Oppose Agreed. Copyrights for songs are often very difficult. Usually there are separate copyrights belonging to the composer, the lyricist, the arranger (unless the work is played exactly as composed), and the performer(s). In order to keep this you will have to prove that all of the relevant copyrights have expired or been freely licensed. .     Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 22:26, 26 June 2016 (UTC)

  • Performed songs have several copyrights. We need valid copyright tags from both the source country and the United States. Norway doesn't seem to be the source country for any of the copyrights, so the copyright status in Norway appears to be irrelevant.
The copyright to the song belongs to the composer, and the source country is the country in which the song was first published (not necessarily the same country as the country in which the song was made). nn:Fil:Karnatisk fiolin chowdiah spelar Manasa Srirama.ogg states that the composer is w:Tyagaraja. Since the composer died in the 19th century, the composer's copyright should have expired in all countries worldwide (so we do not need to identify the source country).
The copyright to the performance belongs to the performer, and the source country of a performance is the country where the performance was made (not where it was first published). Almost all countries seem to protect performances for 50 years since the performance was made. This also appears to be the case in India, where the performer and composer seem to have been residents (see [2] page 26, article 38). If the performance was made in 1944, then it is presumably fine in the source country. Performances do not seem to be copyrighted at all in the United States, so the performance is probably also fine in the United States. However, we do not have any evidence that the performance was made in 1944, so we would need to find evidence of this before we can make any assumptions about the performance.
The copyright to the sound recording belongs to the person who created the sound recording, and the source country of a sound recording is the country where the sound recording was made (not published). In most countries, the copyright to sound recordings expire between 50 and 70 years after the sound recording was first published. In India, where the performer and composer seem to have been residents, the copyright expires 60 years after publication. We don't have any evidence of publication, but it might be reasonable to assume that the recording was made for the purpose of being published and that it was therefore published shortly after it was recorded, so if the song was recorded in 1944 (of which we have no evidence), then it's probably in the public domain in the source country. If the sound recording was created in 1944, then it was created before 1972, and according to m:Wikilegal/Copyright Status of Sound Recordings Fixed Prior to February 15 1972#What This Means for the Wikimedia Community, the copyright rules for old sound recordings are complex and different in different states. Therefore, in order to undelete this, the uploader would need to find out what the rules are in the states which are relevant for us (not sure which ones) and prove that the file is in the public domain in those states. It seems to be difficult to find the correct rules for each state. Also, depending on the source country of the sound recording, the sound recording might be protected by copyright in the United States under COM:URAA, so the source country needs to be identified in order to determine that. --Stefan2 (talk) 15:30, 28 June 2016 (UTC)

 Oppose This image came from https://www.reddit.com/r/SquaredCircle/comments/4nlma9/grabbed_a_good_photo_of_nakamura_during_the_6916/. We don't see reddit much here, so I had to look around a bit. I see "© 2016 reddit inc. All rights reserved." at the bottom of the page. I also see "Feel free to use it anywhere. I don't need any credit." That's not an irrevocable free release as required by Commons:Licensing -- he could change his mind at any time.

Reddit cannot claim copyright over photographs of others. That would only be for content they author, so their copyright notice is meaningless to any user content, and not relevant here. The license from the user... hrm. It's more or less what {{CopyrightedFreeUse}} is, though it's a bit loose and unspecific. I probably wouldn't vote to delete it if uploaded, but I can see perhaps asking for a more formal license as well (like CC0). Carl Lindberg (talk) 06:45, 27 June 2016 (UTC)

 Oppose First, please read and obey WP:COI. Creating a WP:EN page for your professor is a violation of WMF policy. Doing it without disclosing your conflict of interest is a serious violation of policy and may lead to your being blocked from editing.

Second, the image appears on several pages with clear copyright notices. They may or may not be valid, but in any event, the copyright almost certainly rests with the photographer and not the subject.

Tanks ! Actually the stratigraphic sequence picture was not perfect for the article so I made the most of the deletion by drawing a personal one. Unfortunately the handaxe picture, which is such a wonderful one, is not from the article but from someone who put the CC-NC-BY-SA licence on it. It was deleted because I did not ask for a ticket (im new here) and in between I realized I also misread the licence, the non-commercial thing preventing it from being on Commons.

      • @Kgsjd5: На мой взгляд, лучшим способом будет описать все подробности не публично, а письмом в OTRS, приложив этот файл и ссылки на это и другие связанные обсуждения. Там можно описать всё подробно в свободной форме - кто что снимал, кто загружал, кто кому приходится родственником и каким образом права от этих людей перешли к загружающему. Только поставьте себя на место сторонних людей, которые Вас не знают, но должны максимально убедиться в достоверности Ваших слов - нужно привести как можно более прозрачные пояснения. Если OTRS-агенты убедятся, что всё соответствует законам об авторском праве, они сами сюда напишут свою резолюцию или повторно загрузят файл с необходимыми разрешениями. Дополнительную информацию, стандартное разрешение и адрес для письма можно взять тут Commons:OTRS/ru. Если доберусь, то может даже сам там посмотрю. --sasha (krassotkin) 13:44, 22 June 2016 (UTC)

The image in question File:FP-Shanghai-Wikipedia.jpg should be undeleted and restored for these reasons:

  1. Wikipedia's long-standing use of trademarks in related discussion involving the trademarks; such use is a reference so the user knows what the trademark looks like related to the page topic.
  2. Wikipedia's long-standing use of photographs of directional signs containing copyrighted material; such use is a reference so a reader knows what to look for.
  3. The submitter is the author of the photo, and the photo was properly submitted to Wikipedia. Gfgbeach (talk) 09:17, 5 July 2016 (UTC)

Image is of a trademark, Shanghai Disneyland Fastpass. Image is a reference to discussion of the use of that trademark in Disney's Fastpass.

File:Oreo Cookie logo.png
Wikipedia's reference of the Oreo trademark
MTA Trademarked logo in Wikipedia page

Defense of this reference use is that it equivalent to Wikipedia's long-standing reference of the Oreo trademark in discussion of the Oreo cookie. Or Wikipedia's long-standing reference of the MTA trademark in discussion of the New York City area transit system.

The Wikipedia's Disney's Fastpass page also has long-standing Wikipedia references to 2 other Fastpass trademarks. The image in question File:FP-Shanghai-Wikipedia.jpg is significantly different from the other Fastpass trademarks pre-existing in the page. :Fastpass Logo and FP+ logo See the talk at Add Shanghai Disneyland Fastpass for discussion of the ingenious differences in this Shanghai Fastpass logo trademark.

The image in question File:FP-Shanghai-Wikipedia.jpg is also a photograph of a directional sign in an overall related topic. Wikipedia has many similar approved photographs of directional signs in an overall related topics. Directional signs often have copyrighted material, such as fonts. One may not use a copyrighted font without license. However, a reference photograph of that use of a font is not using that font, it's a reference of a sign so that the reader knows what to look for.

Photograph in Wikipedia of copyrighted glyphs of a font
A long-standing Wikipedia photograph of a directional sign with a copyrighted font is seen here. A photo of a portion of a New York City subway directional sign. This sign contains the copyrighted Helvetica font. The purpose of the photograph is a reference so that the reader knows what to look for.

The photo in question File:FP-Shanghai-Wikipedia.jpg is of a portion of an overall sign, so the reader knows what to look for.

Wikipedia also has a separate page Helvetica with many examples of the Helvetica glyphs, and the history of Helvetica in MTA's New York City Subway. This Helvetica page also describes details of the glyphs.

The photo in question File:FP-Shanghai-Wikipedia.jpg is to be used in a paragraph describing the details of the glyphs. The trademark ingeniously combines a Chinese glyph with two Roman glyphs. See the talk at Add Shanghai Disneyland Fastpass Gfgbeach (talk) 08:55, 5 July 2016 (UTC)

This is not Wikipedia but Wikicommons, a web site for freely licensed or public domain images. Hence your arguments are irrelevant. Thuresson (talk) 11:27, 5 July 2016 (UTC)
  • If the elements depicted in the deleted photo is bellow the COM:TOO (like the referenced files above), then, "Copyright violation" without a detailed reason was not a valid reasoning for deletion. If you aren't unable to follow the arguments by Gfgbeach, then follow the U.S. Copyright law and explain if the deleted logo is above or bellow the TOO (if bellow, then, restore). --Amitie 10g (talk) 20:21, 5 July 2016 (UTC)
The "clever" combination is not a copyrightable aspect for the U.S. -- it would still be lettering and not enough elements for an arrangement copyright. If first published in China, then we might look at Chinese law too, which is where things are unsure. The Chinese copyright law does specifically say "calligraphy" -- that is different than simple lettering though. Pretty sure this would not count as calligraphy. Carl Lindberg (talk) 21:40, 5 July 2016 (UTC)
As the one who nominated the image originally for speedy deletion as a logo, I have to remain strongly  Opposeed. The logo seems to be past the point of simple letters and/or shapes of the threshold of originality. As for Amitie 10g's argument, the Shanghai Resort is owned by Disney and the Shanghai Shendi Group. Since the logo is not transferred from the US and is instead a new logo, the fact that Disney is a US company does not apply. In fact, Disney has never translated the logo before, even in the one other location where Roman letters are not used in the primary or secondary language, Tokyo Disneyland, as shown on this Japanese map (in an even more confusing twist, that resort isn't owned by Disney, but is licensed by them to OLC, but I digress). However, my biggest reason that I oppose this undeletion is the fact that Gfgbeach has reuploaded the image already (for which I opened a normal deletion request), and after the reupload, decided to open this undeletion request and the one below it. Elisfkc (talk) 22:53, 5 July 2016 (UTC)
Probably should not have been speedied in the first place -- it is not cut and dry; speedy should be for obvious copyright problems. It's not past the U.S. threshold of originality, at the very least. Less sure on China. Let's just decide on the country of origin and decide on their law. The Chinese law mentions calligraphy, but that is a hand-painting art, not just any lettering. Unsure if there is any aspect that would qualify as copyrightable there or not.

However, in case not, the picture also qualifies for inclusion in Wikipedia under fair use." Copyright do not lie with who owns a painting but normally with the artist.

Reason: :The commons uploader flickr account is here and you can find the image in question here on his flickr account. The image on the website that was used for the deletion request is lower resolution than the original. Also the image has been uploaded to flickr and commons since 2013, so it is understandable to find it in use on other websites after 3 years. The image had been here since 2013, no DMCA notices had been made in those 3 years, the user has uploaded many other high quality images. The website in question also has another commons image in use on the same page (again at a lower resolution), but that doesn't mean we also delete that image from commons.

Half a century is 50 years -- copyright lasts much longer than that. However, I think you meant to say half a millennia -- 500 years old. Yes, for those, copyright is long expired. The only chance would be if it was a modern republication with additional matter -- the additional matter could have a copyright. The UK (if a UK publication) has a 25-year typographical arrangement copyright. If this avoids those situations, then  Support. Carl Lindberg (talk) 21:05, 7 July 2016 (UTC)

‘I think you meant to say half a millennia’ — Yes of course. Looking back at my post I cannot fathom how I got that wrong; I'm also well aware that copyright terms are really long (like 70 years after the author's death) so this wasn't a maths error. Anyway, as for your question, I think the Bavarian library would have mentioned it if it was a republication and going by the scans it doesn't look like something printed recently. Granted, you could print and bind any book and make it look like a film prop if you really wanted to, but why would you? 80.114.146.117 23:12, 7 July 2016 (UTC)

File:Sven Nilsson.jpg (OTRS received and duly registered)

Hi! I'm a bit startled that this deletion request went through on 4 July, despite the fact that the licensing by the photographer was received and processed on 1 of July (three days earlier). The permission from the photographer (duly entered in the appropriate place) was added on that same day. Here is my own public log for the day. I, as an OTRS volunteer, received the e-mail containing the licensing info, considered it to be in good order and entered the info as {{PermissionOTRS|id=2016070110007618}}, at the same time removing the by then dated deletion request link. I thought that it by then was unnecessary to add the info om the deletion request page, as the updated file presentation page info would speak on its own accord. Maybe I was wrong.

File:Mynewt Logo.jpg

File:Mynewt Logo.jpg

Apache Mynewt is a fully open source project under Apache Software Foundation and this is the project mascot. The persons who associated a work with this deed have dedicated the work to the public domain by waiving all of their rights to the work worldwide under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights, to the extent allowed by law. You can copy, modify, distribute and perform the work, even for commercial purposes, all without asking permission, just like the codebase in the project. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aditihilbert (talk • contribs) 19:09, 29 June 2016 (UTC)

 OpposeThe software and the logo is covered by the Apache License, v2.0 which has some fairly difficult provisions, see [5]. Among other things, any use of anything covered by the license must include a text copy of the full license, which you did not do. You also claimed that the logo was your own work, which is a violation of the license and put a CC-BY-SA license on it, which also violates the Apache license.
Finally, the Apache License says:
"This License does not grant permission to use the trade names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor, except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file."
Since the logo is a trademark of Apache, any use of the logo must fall within those restrictions. That is far more restrictive than is acceptable here. For example, a Commons image must be free for someone to silk screen it on to t-shirts and sell them. That is plainly prohibited by the Apache license.
.     Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 21:20, 29 June 2016 (UTC)
The Apache License v2 is a free license. Any trademark restrictions are not relevant to keeping a file here -- those are non-copyright restrictions. Carl Lindberg (talk) 21:42, 29 June 2016 (UTC)
Carl Lindberg, I think you misunderstand the language. It explicitly carves out anything that is a trademark from the license. While we are, as you say, not concerned with trademark restrictions, the logo is a trademark and therefore is not covered by the free license, but only by the very limited (and unacceptable to Commons) permission I quoted above. As you surely know, it is not all unusual for organizations which freely license their work product to restrict use of their logo on both trademark and copyright grounds. WMF is, of course, one such organization. .     Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 10:26, 30 June 2016 (UTC)
@Jameslwoodward: That depends on how you interpret the word "use" in that sentence. If you interpret it to mean use in the copyright sense, then you may be correct. However if you interpret it to mean use in the trademark sense, then it is only stating that the copyright license does not affect the trademark rights in any way -- if a trademark also exists, then the trademark rights exist in full and must be complied with. The latter interpretation makes the most sense to me -- they put the Apache license directly in the source of File:ASF-logo.svg, which would be nonsensical if it automatically excluded the entire file. Secondly, their trademark license page explicitly says: Unlike ASF's word trademarks (such as "Apache" and "Foo"), our graphic logos are also licensed to the public under the Apache License. That license permits you to create derivative works of those logos, as with any other Apache copyrighted work. However, trademark law does not allow you to apply any "confusingly similar" derivative logo to software if a relevant consumer would likely be confused by that use of that derivative logo. So, that would appear that they mean to interpret the word in the trademark sense -- you are free to use such works in the copyright sense so long as it is not a use (i.e. something which is likely to be confused with being associated with Apache) in the trademark sense. Carl Lindberg (talk) 15:38, 30 June 2016 (UTC)
Carl -- So you're saying that, to use my example, one could silk screen a batch of tee shirts and sell them with this logo and not violate the paragraph I quoted above? They may say that in the place you quoted, but it seems to me that the license itself carves out a clear exception to the generality of the license for anything that has the status of trademark. .     Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 16:03, 30 June 2016 (UTC)
@Jameslwoodward: You would not be violating copyright. You would be violating trademark. The license means you could not be sued for the former, but does not protect you at all from the latter. That to me is all the license is saying -- just because there is a "free" license on the copyright does not mean you can then ignore trademark laws. You need to obtain a separate license for those rights if you want to use them. There are lots of possible copyright derivative works though (using just a part of the drawing) which no longer look anything like the trademark and as such would not be a trademark violation anymore -- and the license means such uses should not be a copyright violation either. Carl Lindberg (talk) 22:07, 30 June 2016 (UTC)
Carl -- You're still missing the point -- the Apache license explicitly says that the free copyright license does not cover things which are trademarked. It's not a trademark issue -- it's that the license use "trademark" as a shorthand descriptor for a set of things, including the subject logo, that are not included in the free copyright license. .     Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 13:56, 1 July 2016 (UTC)
@Jameslwoodward: -- Not in my opinion, and not according to the statement on Apache's trademark page. Their graphic logos are fully licensed under the Apache License. The clause simply states that the copyright license does not affect the trademark, i.e. it grants no rights to use such works in a trademark sense. If what you say is true, then Apache is incorrect when they say our graphic logos are also licensed to the public under the Apache License. In the context of that clause, the word "use" is not referring to the copyright, but to the trademark, and thus does not exclude the copyright aspects from being licensed. As such, it's no different than any other PD-ineligible trademark we have hosted -- there is no copyright for those, but that does not affect the trademark, so re-users still have no right to use the trademark (outside of trademark fair use, as mentioned in the Apache License). Carl Lindberg (talk) 14:27, 1 July 2016 (UTC)
I agree with you that the license and their description of the license differ. However, as a matter of simple law, in that case we must obey the license. That sets very clear limits -- unacceptable to Commons -- on any use of those things that are "trade names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor". .     Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 10:16, 2 July 2016 (UTC)
I don't agree that they differ. To me, the license text states exactly what they say on their trademark page. Carl Lindberg (talk) 14:57, 2 July 2016 (UTC)
The fact that other things exist is not a reason why this or any of the others should be kept here. The restriction I quoted is very explicit and is clearly not acceptable to Commons. As I noted above, you would clearly be violating the Apache license if you sold t-shirts with the logo on them. .     Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 10:26, 30 June 2016 (UTC)
  •  Oppose as per Jim, the license does not apply to the logo. It is explicitely excluded in paragraph 6. A logo is a trademark as a design that identifies something from another thing. Then if the license does not cover trademarks = license does not cover design that identifies some product from another product = license does not cover logos. No matter if we don't care about trademarks, we care about license and about its explicit restrictions. And above all we care that the license does not cover. Christian Ferrer (talk) 17:38, 1 July 2016 (UTC)
  •  No, this apply only to the Trademark, not to the logos (binary files) themselves. If the logo is found in the Source tree of the software, then, it is covered under the license as part of the source code (the source code is not limited to text files, but also to binaries like media files). This applied historically to all logos of ASF products licensed under the Apache license. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Amitie 10g (talk • contribs)
 Comment I see some confusion here on relations of copyright rights and trademark rights. It is essential to understand that logo is subject of both of these rights. Logo being a trademark doesn't exclude it from being a work for which one can apply a free copyright license regardless of rather restrictive trademark protection. Non-copyright rights may make it difficult to follow the criteria given by the definition of free cultural work (as refered in Commons licensing policy), but they don't exclude a free (in sense of copyright) work from Commons. That's what COM:NCR is all about, isn't it? It's just up to reusers to take in account that other rights than copyright rights may apply too.
What the Apache License says on trademarks should be understand in a way that the trademark rights aren't released to the same extent as are other rights (i.e. copyright rights). It does not specifically say copyright rights are not released for a specific work (i.e. logo).
Now, as refered by Carl above, if Apache's trademark license page explicitly says that our graphic logos are also licensed to the public under the Apache License then there shouldn't much of a doubt that this free license applys to logos. There is no contradiction keeping in mind that copyright rights and trademark rights are different things.
By the way, we have already kept a bunch of logos where heavily restrictive trademark rights apply, but which at the same time are explicitly released under a free copyright license, e.g. this. 90.191.109.9 09:24, 2 July 2016 (UTC)
I see no confusion between trademark and copyright -- as I have tried to point out in several ways above, the license use the word "trademark" only as an identifier for things that are not covered by the general license, but only by the more specific and unnaceptable terms I quoted above. It is true that they describe the license as including logos, but the plain wording of the license excludes them. In a case where the license and their description of the license differ, we must follow the more restrictive terms of the license. .     Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 10:20, 2 July 2016 (UTC)
  • I didn't suggest that the license and trademark license page differ, and I think that neither did Carl. The license only clarifys that trademark rights for the logo (as a trademark) are mostly not released. This doesn't contradict with releasing copyright rights for the same logo (as a work, not trademark) per free license. The term that you quoted is about using trade names, trademarks etc. (i.e. in sense of trademark rights), not about using a logo as a copyright subject. This means that the license excludes trademark rights, which is different from excluding a logo (trademark) that is as well a subject of copyright rights. 90.191.109.9 11:56, 2 July 2016 (UTC)
  • As I mentioned above, the Trademark restrictions apply only to the Trademark, not the media files themselves (aka. the files depicting logos in raster or vector formats, and this is specially true if the source of the logos found in the Source tree repository is SVG; this is why the Mozilla Firefox logo have different licenses for raster and vector source files). That paragraph indicates that it exludes the uses of the Trademarks under the Trademark Law (selling T-shirts with the logos are a Trademark violation), but that does not mean that it forbids the use of the logos (namely, media files depicting logos) in some way under Copyright (since the License is a Copyright agreement, again, every file part of the source code is covered under the License, even media files, unless a separated agreement inside the Source tree —the «NOTICE» file— explicitely exclude some filenames and directories), and it includes uploading these logos to Commons (Trademark restrictions does not apply to Commons, everyone know that).
Keeping this file deleted following the misinterpretation of the Apache License will make a very bad precedent: The Apache License is a free license approved by the FSF and acceped in Commons for years. So, due your interpretation of the Apache License, every file containing any ASF product logo should be deleted, and that incude screenshots of HTTP Server, Tomcat, etc (files widely in use, and the depicted logos are integral part of the screenshot, and even, them are part of the software). Therefore. their deletions will be very disruptive.
Finally, the only who are allowed to request the removal of these kind of files due copyvio (by the nature of the Free Licenses) is the Copyright Holder (the ASF), and Commons was never received a DMCA takedown for the use of the logos, simply because there are no copyvio (but maybe uses outsaide the Trademark, and that does not matter, and I doubt that the ASF will take care with that, specially taking actions against the WMF and its projects). --Amitie 10g (talk) 14:28, 2 July 2016 (UTC)
  • I do not read the license as excluding logos or other trademarks. It simply says that the fact they are licensed under the Apache License does not give you the right to use the trademarks in violation of trademark law. I don't read it as excluding anything at all from the license (unlike the {{OGL}}, which does exclude symbols). That interpretation is backed up by the explanation on the trademark page; they state the same thing to me. Carl Lindberg (talk) 18:24, 2 July 2016 (UTC)

A website saying their works are not in the public domain means nothing if they are COM:TOO simple. Under Canadian copyright law, "A creativity standard implies that something must be novel or non-obvious — concepts more properly associated with patent law than copyright law. And for these reasons, I conclude that an “original” work under the Copyright Act is one that originates from an author and is not copied from another work. That alone, however, is not sufficient to find that something is original. In addition, an original work must be the product of an author’s exercise of skill and judgment. The exercise of skill and judgment required to produce the work must not be so trivial that it could be characterized as a purely mechanical exercise."

I would like to know how this text constitutes as "skill" (typing and choosing a colour is not skill whatsoever) and used "judgement". SVG was hand made by myself. As reference to those who can not view the file since it is deleted, a copy is available here https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/HFY4WXas/ (please do no upload this to commons, as we don't need two copies while a dispute is currently in process).

I am the author and copyright holder of this photo. I license this image for use under Creative Commons Attribution/Sharealike.

 Support The problem was that the image was apparently licensed as CreativeCommons-Non-Commercial at Flickr when you uploaded it at Commons. And although you granted a free "commercial" CC licence for your upload at Commons, in such cases we can never be sure who is the original photographer – the person on Flickr or you behind the Wikimedia account or are they the same? We get all sorts of ownership claims every day so please understand that a mere statement on the talk page is usually not enough to prevent speedy deletion.
But apparently you have now changed the Flickr licence too, so we should be able to restore the image over here with the same 2.0 licence.

This file is not the property of SchoolDesigner. It was published in one of their materials when Fuller D'Angelo won an award. Because Joseph fuller could no longer find the original file, the file was downloaded from the Fuller D'Angelo web site and manipulated in Photoshop to provide acceptable resolution.

regarding deletion of my latest picture File:Anders Behring Breivik.png

The photo was itself released by Norwegian police for public use. How could it possibly be copyrighted?

See COM:NETCOPYRIGHT#Press photos. All works are copyrighted by default, and copyright lasts for an exceedingly long time (on average over 100 years). Such copyright must be explicitly licensed, or have expired by law -- press photos are typically for editorial use only, and do not qualify as a "free" license. If there is a source which explicitly addresses the copyright, such that it allows adaptations and commercial use, then it could be different. Carl Lindberg (talk) 19:44, 10 July 2016 (UTC)

The license of the photograph is OK. But if the statue itself is still under copyright, then the photograph would count as a derivative work, and thus distributing it without a license from the statue's copyright owner can be a copyright violation, so the photo is not "free". See Commons:Freedom of panorama#Iran. It was this latter reason why it was deleted. It sounds like the statue was installed in early 2011, and copyright of the statue would last at least 30 years (and likely the lifetime of the sculptor, plus 50 more years). So, we would need to know the details on the statue -- who created it and when, etc. This is a tough situation, as using it in educational contexts is OK (which is all that Wikipedia does), but it's not "free" unless it can also be used commercially.

Acidente de Trânsito Preto Branco Cinza Vermelho Azul
Sim 1404 277 517 139 57
Não 3127 617 1264 310 28
And similar for the other tables. As for scope, tables aren't explicitly mentioned in COM:SCOPE, but are usually included in the definition of "purely textual content". If you need help with the table markup, you can ask at the Help Desk or at your local Wikipedia help page. The files can be temporarily undeleted if you need them for reference. It's quite unfortunate that the images were deleted before they could be replaced, but the nature of cross-wiki file usage often means that deletion notices are not seen until the file is deleted.

Hi,

I'm requesting undeletion of File:Sarah-Dawn-Finer 2016 foto Morgan Norman.jpg

We (Blixten & Co) are the booking agency for Sarah Dawn Finer and we have been asked by the artist (Sarah Dawn Finer) to change the existing picture.

--Blixten & Co (talk) 12:27, 14 July 2016 (UTC)

For photographs which have been previously published, we ask that photographers/copyright owners go through the COM:OTRS process to verify the permission. There are thousands of copyrighted images uploaded every day which need to be deleted, and user accounts are essentially anonymous. The process is also to avoid any misunderstanding about which rights need to be licensed. If Mr. Morgan Norman is the copyright holder, we would need emailed permission from an address associated with him. Once received and processed (which can take a little while), then the files get undeleted. Carl Lindberg (talk) 13:23, 14 July 2016 (UTC)

I am writing to request the undeletion of Template:MAV-FMVZ USP-license. This template was generated in the context of a GLAM project, bringing together the University of São Paulo Museum of Veterinary Anatomy (MAV-FMVZ-USP), the RIDC NeuroMat and the UG Wikimedia in Brazil. The expectation of this GLAM project is that hundreds of high-resolution images will be published in the Commons, with the potential to be used in many WMF projects. The license to OTRS was submitted by the Chief of the Administrative Section of the University of São Paulo Museum of Veterinary Anatomy (MAV-FMVZ-USP), Dr. Mauricio Candido da Silva, Ticket#: 2016071210013681. The Museum is the legal owner of the images is the museum, and the photographer was hired under a temporary contract called in Portuguese "Contrato de prestação de serviços, em caráter eventual, sem vínculo empregatício, para criação determinada de imagens" (this detail of this particular case was discussed with Jameslwoodward, here). Given this context and the reference to the license to OTRS, I hope this undeletion request will be taken into consideration as fast as possible, since we hope to move forward with our GLAM project. Thank you in advance! Joalpe (talk) 15:42, 12 July 2016 (UTC)

✓ Done: @Joalpe: I undeleted the template. An OTRS-agent still needs to confirm the ticket though and I am not keen of the statement provided myelf.

Deleting this file was utter nonsense. It was an image I created myself using a tool that Nintendo created for that very purpose. The inclusion of the Pokemon character was an editorial fair use. The notion that all news organizations posting photos like (there are thousands of them) this are committing copyright violations is nonsense.

News stories about Pokemon Go use photos like this. Otherwise, it's nearly impossible to illustrate what the game is all about. And again, Nintendo actively encourages the creation of images like this.

Fair use. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jdmdetroit1 (talk • contribs) 13:15, 15 July 2016 (UTC)

@Jdmdetroit1: I think there's a bit of a misunderstanding on the purpose of the Commons. The Commons is a repository of freely licensed images; in other words, we host media that is licensed in a way that allows anyone to use the image for nearly any purpose. As a result, we don't accept non-free images - and thus, we don't host images under a claim of fair use. Many (but not all) Wikipedia projects do let you upload images under fair use, but that is separate from the function of the Commons. ~Kevin Payravi (talk) 14:07, 15 July 2016 (UTC)


I am sorry that you don't understand that decades of direct experience actually means something and that you apparently think that someone with zero experience in a field can claim to be an expert just because they want to.

I posted those images because I knew that bloggers and small publications were writing about Pokemon GO, but there were no really pertinent images on Wikimedia Commons related to this important cultural phenomenon. So, I generated two images that show what the gameplay looks like. Editorially, they tell something about the story. And because they were intended for editorial and non-commercial use, they do not violate anybody's copyright. If everybody interpreted copyright law the way you do, a whole lot of journalism would be shut down. Again, I can guarantee that, when news organizatiosn like around the world used and distributed photos like this from the NY Times: https://static01.nyt.com/images/2016/07/12/insider/12-Insider-Pokemon-Photo/12-Insider-Pokemon-Photo-master675.jpg, they didn't send a letter to Nintendo asking for permission.

By denying a right to post images like the ones I have posted, you are forcing bloggers and others to pay for very similar images created by organizations that did not get any more permission than I did.

I really think decisions like this should be made by experienced people with at least some first-hand knowledge of journalism. --Jdmdetroit1 (talk) 14:49, 15 July 2016 (UTC)jdmdetroit1

Wikimedia Commons does not store "images which are for editorial, non-comercial usages". Wikimedia Commons only host images which can be used by everyone in all settings (even for commerical usage), and therefore such provisions is not allowed on Commons. It might be 'legal', but it is agains out own rules. Josve05a (talk) 14:53, 15 July 2016 (UTC)

Have you folks been contacted by Nintendo? Or is Nintendo a donor? Otherwise, none of this conversation makes sense. Based on your arguments, there are possibly thousands of images now on Wikimedia that ought to be deleted ... including every single photo of a corporate headquarters, or of any copyrighted product.--Jdmdetroit1 (talk) 15:00, 15 July 2016 (UTC)jdmdetroit1

No one is claiming that the journalists are violating copyright. The point is that the images do not follow our rules here on the Commons, which are to host images that allow anyone to use them for almost any purpose, including commercially. ~Kevin Payravi (talk) 15:02, 15 July 2016 (UTC)

A couple of years ago, I tried to be active in Wikimedia Commons and was chased away by abusive comments by a horrible person who called me names. I think there is a culture there that treats "newbies" with suspicion and contempt and in which certain people feel the need to exert control of their little fiefdoms. I think a lot of decisions here are driven my motives like that. That's a shame. --Jdmdetroit1 (talk) 15:04, 15 July 2016 (UTC)jdmdetroit1

Pokemon characters are protected by copyright law. One could use them under the fair use docterine but this isn't allowed since the board of trustees decided that Commons may not allow fair use. Therefor we cannot hoste files of Pokemoncharacters even if the usage is covered by the fair use docterine. Creating a creature that looks quite similar makes it a derivative of non free content.

File:Df bei-dia 0000056.jpg Verweis auf Fotothek nicht ausreichend?

Wie ist das mit der Fototohek? Warum werden viele Fotos, welche aus der Fotothek entnommen werden, nicht gelöscht?
Beispiel: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datei:Fotothek_df_ps_0003562_Universit%C3%A4tsgeb%C3%A4ude.jpg

Wie erkenne ich, ob ein Bild aus der Fotothek zulässig ist, oder nicht? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lebostein (talk • contribs) 14:09, 04 July 2016 (UTC)

Hier sind die AGB der Fotothek. Darin steht, dass die "für Wikimedia Commons in eingeschränkter Qualität zur Verfügung gestellten Digitalisate" unter einer Creative Commons Lizenz zur Verfügung gestellt wurden. Es hat mal eine Art Spende der Fotothek an Wikimedia Commons gegeben, was man auch in dem Lizenztext auf Deinem Beispiel lesen kann: "Dieses Bild wurde im Rahmen einer Kooperation zwischen der Deutschen Fotothek und Wikimedia Deutschland für Wikimedia Commons zur Verfügung gestellt." D. h., alle Bilder auf Commons, die diesen speziellen Lizenz-Baustein haben, sind auch ordnungsgemäß freigegeben und können im Rahmen der Creative-Commons-Lizenz verwendet werden.
Grundsätzlich gilt aber, wenn die Fotothek auf ihrer eigenen Homepage Bilder anbietet, sind diese nicht automatisch frei verwendbar. Auf der Original-Inventarseite des Beispielbilds, gibt es z. B. keinen Hinweis auf Creative Commons, sondern nur den nichtssagenden Text: "Freier Zugang - Rechte vorbehalten." Solche Bilder sollten auch nicht auf Commons hochgeladen werden, wenn sie nicht schon hier sind. Man könnte zwar hergehen, und die Lebensdaten der Fotografen prüfen, da das Urheberrecht 70 Jahre nach deren Tod verfällt, aber zur Sicherheit sollte man eben nur die markierten Bilder auf Commons benutzen.
Zu guter Letzt: das hier ist eine spezielle Webseite zur Wiederherstellung von gelöschten Dateien und nicht für allgemeine Fragen zum Urheberrecht gedacht. Copyright, Lizenzen und Co. werden hier behandelt. Falls Du also weitere Fragen zur Verwendung von Fotothek-Bildern hast, stelle sie bitte dort. Es sei denn, du möchtest eine oder mehrere Dateien aus der Fotothek prüfen lassen, die zuvor gelöscht wurden. De728631 (talk) 19:26, 13 July 2016 (UTC)

I don't get this. Could the closing admin or someone else care to explain the decision here. Per nominator the fountain surpasses threshold of originality because one includes the "water sculpture" as copyrightable element in it. In response, reffering to COM:CSM, it was shown in comparision with fireworks displays that water bursts of a fountain probably shouldn't be considered copyrightable as they are not recorded on a fixed medium. This leaves us a simple circle of stone blocks regarding which so far not even the nominator has expressed significant doubt about its freedom. Now, from this state of the relevant dicussion, how did we get this outcome? Am I missing something? If not, then the file should be restored. Pikne 17:09, 29 June 2016 (UTC)

This could very well be a flubbed close on my part. I have no personal objection to its being restored and kept, but Taivo would have to be consulted. INeverCry 02:07, 30 June 2016 (UTC)
I still think, that the decision is correct. Firework is not a good comparision. Firework is very temporary, it lasts only short time and if you want to see it next day, then it is impossible. Fountain is available every day and has always the same shape. In my opinion the water bursts are enough fixed medium. Taivo (talk) 07:04, 30 June 2016 (UTC)
I ask again, how is the temporal difference relevant regarding copyright? Which law provisions make you think that?
Not that it would seem relevant, but it is arguable whether water burst is a long-lasting expression or whether it is cast again and again in slightly different shapes as the water flows. Also, specific brands of fireworks are usually designed to produce more or less the same shape.
How do you draw the line between water and mixture of hot gases (as for fireworks)? Both as a medium are pretty much useless for recording an expression in a "fixed" state. That is, compared to, say, rock or paper. Pikne 15:15, 30 June 2016 (UTC)
 Support At least in the U.S., it would not be copyrightable. It is not expression from a human hand; the shape is due to gravity and other natural effects -- they are not drawn lines. For the EU, I doubt it would qualify either -- not sure how you show the personality of the author in a water fountain, to the point that a photograph would be deemed a derivative work. If we can find a court case where such a photo was ruled as derivative, then OK, but otherwise untold thousands of such photographs have been taken over the years and if there has never been a single one ruled a derivative work (as opposed to photos of buildings which have), then that is probably an indication that such photos are not derivative. To me, the above is an unproven and very, very theoretical doubt, and not something we should delete over. Carl Lindberg (talk) 05:10, 16 July 2016 (UTC)

'Visible to everybody' does not mean 'free from copyright'. The source website did not mention a CC license or another compatible free license. Absence of a free license means: 'all rights reserved'. Jcb (talk) 10:26, 1 July 2016 (UTC)
Every day Commons gets 10,000 new images and must delete 1,700 of them. 95% of that work is done by 25 Administrators, who are currently falling seriously behind the workload, so, unfortunately, your description is largely correct. If we had significantly more volunteers we could be more personal, but as it is personal service is impossible.
I also note that your only work here has been uploading a series of copyright violations, some of them more than once. Therefore, so far on Commons you have been nothing but a nuisance who dives in without bothering to read the rules, the basics of which are carefully laid out for you on our Main Page. Jcb's curt warning that you must stop violating copyright was entirely appropriate. .     Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 13:50, 1 July 2016 (UTC)
Hello Mr Woodward. I understand the protectionism angle and that being undermanned the actions of administrators must be that first and foremost. That could lead anyone to short, shrift answers. Fully appreciated. My position is that I thought I was in the right, saw my images being cleared and saw one who did not, and did not get the explanation until persistent questioning and deeper reading on my part.

[Renomination, see below, @JuTa: , more infos: above] Flag (bandeira) of Brazilian municipality pt:Jaguariaíva, created by municipal law nº 1636/2005 only in 2005, failing {{PD-BrazilGov}} = "(...) published or commissioned (...) prior to 1983." No trivial text/shape logo, failing {{PD-textlogo}}/{{PD-shape}}. All flags (and also coats of arms) of Brazilian municipalities are established by municipal law. Generally for most of the Brazilian coats of arms and flags: unlikely also that these symbols were digitized in there present form prior to 1983 (when "Internet" was available only for a few institutions, TCP/IP was standardized in 1982). Their creation date could be quite recent, maybe not even by an employee of the Brazilian government (mostly some years after official federal constitution, see also this extreme case, where a Brazilian municipality created his official symbols in 2014: 81 years after emancipation...).

These two files are the official flag and coat of arms of Jaguariaiva's Municipallity

Based on federal law nº 9279 of 1996 May 14 (Industrial Property Law), in your title III (About Marks), chapter I(About Registrability), section II(About the non-registrable signs as Mark), Article 124, first Paragraph, is cited:

Art. 124. Não são registráveis como marca:
I - brasão, armas, medalha, bandeira, emblema, distintivo e monumento oficiais, públicos, nacionais, estrangeiros ou internacionais, bem como a respectiva designação, figura ou imitação;
Art. 124. are not registrable as marks:
I - public arms, coats, medals, flags, emblem, badge and official monument, national, foreign or international, as well as the respective designation, representation or imitation;

And, being the Flag and The coat being officially public by municipal law, it is an object in public domain, since it wasn't registrable by the law mentioned in this request

Accordingly, seeks approval

Jose8122 (talk) 03:32, 4 July 2016 (UTC)

Correct, state symbols like that are not registerable as *trademarks*. However, we are concerned with copyright, which is a completely separate area of intellectual property, and so we would need the copyright law (not the trademark law) to exclude such items. I believe that is Law No. 9.610 of 19 Feb 1998. Typically, each rendition of a flag can have its own copyright, if the design is complex enough to allow for artists to have variations. So, we would be interested in who drew that particular version, and where it came from. If it was copied from a government website, there is likely a copyright still existing on it, and we would need a license.
It does look like our guidance at Commons:Marcas de direitos autorais#Brasil is wrong -- that seems to say that PD-BrazilGov cover flags, but I think the law explicitly says only the text of laws, decrees, etc. is not covered -- I'm not sure why someone added flags etc. to the list. Looks like that guidance has been there since 2007 (yikes). I'm guessing that was based on reading the trademark law, without realizing that has no effect on the "free" status. Carl Lindberg (talk) 04:03, 4 July 2016 (UTC)
You're absolutely right, Carl. This is all based on a conflation between copyright and trademark law that was thoroughly debunked back in 2011 in Commons:Deletion requests/Template:PD-BrazilGov 2, which led to the rewording of the template. LX (talk, contribs) 06:09, 4 July 2016 (UTC)
Even with this misunderstanding, the official logo is public, since it will be the municipality/state/country symbol for years and years, making your differece from an institucional logo, which is changed at each mandact
But returning to Jaguariaíva's case, this vigent Law (post 1983) is a rewrite of the same previous Law (dated by 1950), which was revoked at the promulgation of the new law, due to addiction of new official symbols Jose8122 (talk) 03:56, 6 July 2016 (UTC)
The issue is that each drawing of the symbol would come under copyright law. It's certainly possible for someone to make a new drawing from scratch (or one using already-free elements) of the flag, but simply copying a work from elsewhere is more problematic. It's not a matter of when the design was from (see Commons:Coats of arms) but rather when the specific drawing was made. I am presuming these were simply copied from a website. Even if the drawing was done by the government, they still own copyright I believe. It is published, yes, and public record, yes, but not public domain (in a copyright sense). For Commons, it is the latter which matters. Carl Lindberg (talk) 16:14, 6 July 2016 (UTC)
But, Like Alan described on flag image restoration, the flag (Like the coat} are created by the Lei municipal 525/1967, being An symbol commissioned by the municipal government before 1983, the images are able to use {{PD-BrazilGov}}, being a pre-1983 commissioned art Jose8122 (talk) 01:29, 8 July 2016 (UTC)
Each individual rendition of the flag is likely to have its own copyright. Is this an exact (or close to exact) copy of artwork which existed before 1983? Or is it a more modern rendition of an older design? It's not the age of the design, it is when this particular graphic was drawn. Carl Lindberg (talk) 07:39, 8 July 2016 (UTC)
These images are An close to exact copy of the original flag and coat, which existe before 1987. Being An official municipal symbol, the state government can't edit to make the art "more modern", being the images close exact copies of the images commissioned and published in 1967 by Jaguariaíva's Prefecture Jose8122 (talk) 03:17, 9 July 2016 (UTC)

By default, photographers automatically have copyright over their work immediately upon creation, so your statement is most likely not true. In any case, it's irrelevant, since the file was not deleted on copyright grounds, but because it was outside of the project scope of Wikimedia Commons as a repository of media useful for educational purposes – as clearly indicated in the deletion log.

Hi! I uploaded thousands of pictures of artworks, and these two were deleted for a reason I cannot understand. I am the author of the images. They are not blurred or low-quality, there is not problem about the death of the artist (Signac died in 1935). One image showed the frame of the painting (unique image showing the frame on Commons). The other showed a slightly different color rendering, according to the lighting situation of the museum room, compared to other images of the same painting. The admin said the template needed a fix, but is this a reason to delete an image? Are all my uploads of artworks in danger??? (in the link more Signac paintings). Thank you --Sailko (talk) 16:01, 9 July 2016 (UTC)

Sounds like they were nominated as duplicates. The deletion reason seemed to be more why they preferred the other, while deleting as a duplicate. But if these images show different colors, or show the frame, then that could be reason to keep. There are many many paintings where we have several uploads -- we typically just delete those if it's the exact same photo, or low enough resolution that there is really no aspect which could be better. If in doubt, we should keep both. Carl Lindberg (talk) 14:00, 10 July 2016 (UTC)

File:Roger F. Gibson, Jr.jpg

Greetings to Wikipedia editors:

Please consider my request to undelete the abovementioned image file.

The image in question is a photograph of Roger F. Gibson, Jr., who was a professional philosopher. He died in September 2015. He himself circulated this photograph both for official business and for any promotional purposes (conferences and colloquia). It can be found in any number of places on the internet. This one happens to be posted along with a notice of his death at the website of his last place of employment (Washington University in St. Louis). But the exact same file is available elsewhere. The reason I uploaded it is that I am in the process of writing a Wikipedia article on him and intend to provide a link to this image file.

Best wishes, House of Mogh. (Student of Roger Gibson)

Bilder von der "Stiebitz" und "Liste der Kulturdenkmäler in Stiebitz gelöscht?

Hallo, ich bin noch recht neu beim Uploaden von Bildern und daher noch unerfahren....aber...warum werden mein Bilder von den Seiten gelöscht?

Sie betreffen sowohl "Stiebitz" als Dorf an sich und auch die "Liste der Kulturdenkmäler in Stiebitz".

Die Bilder zeigen die alte Fasanerie des Gutshofes, dieser wird auf der Wikipedia Denkmalliste auch so erwähnt.

Da der Verfall des Gebäudes schnell voran schreitet und sicher auch nicht gestoppt wird halte ich diese Bilder für sinnvoll und zu erhalten.

Nach bestem Wissen (und nach meiner Einschätzung recht umständlichem Verfahrens die Bilder mit der Wikipedia Seite zu verknüpfen) habe ich die Bilder

hoch geladen und in einer eigenen Kategorie zusammen gefügt.

Ähnlich habe ich es auch beim "Kinderspielepark Kaltwasser" und "Panzerdenkmal Rothenburg" getan. Da war es ok.......

Sollte ich da grundsätzliche Fehler beim Einstellen meiner Bilder begehen erklären sie mir bitte warum....?

Reason: There is no valid claim for a Copyright violation, since it was a picture from a Public Traffic Sign, on a open blog. I think the user ‪Sfs90‬ is harrasing me for political reasons, he has deleted all my contributions and requested to delete my file , without valid Reason. Alguerre (talk) 22:39, 23 July 2016 (UTC)

Comment: "Open blog" doesn't mean that the author of the photographs don't have copyrights over their images. By the way, the fact that a "Blogspot.com" it's a blog doesn't mean that this is effectively a "free blog" and all their contributions have a free licence. --Sfs90 (talk) 23:18, 23 July 2016 (UTC)

 Oppose @Alguerre: Sfs90 is right: just because the blog can be accessed freely it does not mean that anyone can copy and re-use the images or text found there. Copyright is automatically bestowed upon photographers even if they photograph public signs, so you cannot upload such images without there being a free licence at the blog. Moreover, the entire blog is full of likely copyright infringements (various old photos, book covers, newspaper articles, etc.) so even if there was a free licence it would be questionable whether the blogger was actually the original author of this photograph.

Per Template:OTRS ticket, I request the restoration of the files from Prensa Presidencia. As many user already know, all the contents of all the websites from the Government of Chile are licensed under the {{CC-GobCL}} license according to the Ord. 112/14 of December 2010 (that is mandatory), and this include any of these websites, even if them lacks of the link to the CC-BY license and even if the page contains any restriction statement (these restrictions are just invalid and I requested the updating of the website to be aligned with the Ord. 112/14 of December 2010). (the request at the OTRS Noticeboard is more related with the issue with mail delivery).

Please restore these files as soon as possible in order to be checked by me. The licensing of the contents published by the Government of Chile at its websites after December 2010 shouldn't be questioned anymore. --Amitie 10g (talk) 19:42, 15 March 2016 (UTC)

[One again, ignoring the bold... ] Just advising, that I was engaged in some discussion with that topic, especially via Commons:Deletion requests/File:Inicio de las obras de la nueva Línea 6 de Metro.jpg... well, I have no desire [in German: Ich habe kein Bock...] to re-engage in this discussion (and I can't see the OTRS-ticket). For now, I only rechecked some links and copyrights of related sites via my comment Special:diff/152187162 from 03.2015 and... well: after now 6 years they remain as they were (as also some related Flickr accounts, see discussion). As I already said in 2015: I would say: it is a mess... . So... do what you want, I don't care anymore. Currently, I am trying to identify Cross-wiki uploads from pt.wikipedia.org which are +/- 85% bad... Good luck. Gunnex (talk) 21:40, 15 March 2016 (UTC)
The problem is that there is unclear copyright status. I think OTRS permission is needed. Poké95 11:43, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
1.- I started this thread with OTRS ticket. An OTRS volunteer already answered to me and confirmed its reception, as well the validity of the answer form the Presidency of Chile. Just ask to the OTRS team how many tickets related to {{CC-GobCL}} received... overwhelming.
2.- The Ord. 112/14 of December 2010 is very clear and applies to every content found in every digital platform (aka. Websites) published by every organism of the Government of Chile (most of them .gob.cl) after december 30, 2010, and this was explained for years. Neither disclamier at websites can supersede this official document. Several organism of the State of Chile (Presidency, SEGEGOB, DIBAM, etc.) given the same answer for every Transparency requests by B1mbo and Me.
Again, neither user (specially foreign ones) should questionate our legislation and how it is applied, there is already concensus about this and no doubts should have anymore. --Amitie 10g (talk) 13:45, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
@Howicus ticket owner. @Amitie 10g: Has there been discussion here on Commons that agrees with your reading of the Chilean law? If so, it might be relevant to link it here. I can't find any relevant discussion (using "Chile" as the search term) at COM:VPC. Storkk (talk) 11:13, 2 April 2016 (UTC)
@Alan: (as Spanish-native talking user) already know this situation and already checked previous OTRS tickets related to the Ord. 112/14 of 2010. Alan, please check this ticket, too.
Just AGF and undelete the files, the scope of the Ord. 112/14 of 2010 was explined for more than a year, and it is the only document that establish the licensing for works fro the Government of Chile in its digital platforms. --Amitie 10g (talk) 15:22, 2 April 2016 (UTC)
I really do believe you are acting in good faith... but assuming good faith (see Commons:Assume_good_faith#Good_faith_and_copyright) is irrelevant to this discussion: I'm wondering whether your interpretation of Chilean law has been agreed with by anyone else here.

Just restore the files, please.

As an OTRS agent, I want to explicitly state that ticket:2016031510005968 does not contain a release under a free license. "Creative Commons Atribución" and "CC-BY" are not free licenses, this isn't a matter of Chilean copyright law.    FDMS  4    10:33, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
FDMS4, I don't understand your comment. "Creative Commons Atribución", which is the same thing as "CC-BY" is a "free license" as we understand those words here on Commons. .     Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 14:03, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
@Jameslwoodward: When releases lacked a CC suite version number, files were generally (from what I've seen) always deleted since there is no way of knowing which legal text exactly they are referring to.    FDMS  4    14:12, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
Yes, is true that the Ord. 112/14 of 2010 don't mention the specific version of the CC-BY licnense, but most of the organisms (starting with http://gob.cl) adopted the CC-BY-3.0 Chile license. Should we accept this implicit adoptation of that specific license, or I should communicate directly with the SEGEGOB? (considering that I already requested Transparency information (answer pending), asking if the CC-BY-3.0 Chile is the license offically adopted, and what document ratificate it). --Amitie 10g (talk) 17:37, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
I'm not aware of any policy that calls for deletion of a file that is marked CC-BY without a version number. The summaries at https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/ and https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ are word for word identical. While the two full versions are different, the differences are by way of clarification and do not change the basic legal theory underlying the license. I have no problem at all with accepting CC-BY-3.0 as the intention of the Chilean government -- or perhaps the latest version in existence at the time the law was passed? .     Jim . . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 18:04, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
It's not a Commons policy (other than COM:PCP), it's copyright. When an upload of mine got deleted back in 2014, it confused me a lot, therefore I asked around onwiki (ping Jkadavoor) and on the CC IRC channel, and the response I got was that one cannot assume what the copyright holder meant unless he explicitly refers to the legal text of a license. This makes perfect sense (I was quite new back in 2014) since a license is simply much more than its summary – when CC updated their license suite, they did make some changes that can make a big difference in court.    FDMS  4    20:10, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
I don't recall that happening much. We probably just assume the most recent version number, even though legally yes it would be better to point at a version. If on the other hand something just says a "Creative Commons" license without specifying which one, that is a problem. There isn't that much difference between the CC-BY versions in terms of intent though. Carl Lindberg (talk) 20:20, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
Got the ping; so this comment. Yes; we can't assume the copyright holder's intention on version number and country porting. The differences between versions may be marginal; but there are indeed some differences on handling attribution, adaptations, etc. Otherwise we can ignore the previous versions and move to newer one whenever CC release new versions.
There were a lot of previous related discussions at VP and AN earlier when attempting to change the redirects of Template:CC-BY and Template:CC-BY-SA to latest versions; all rejected based on these arguments. I can't find the links from my weak Internet; but think Denniss had some similar arguments (like mine). Jee 02:46, 9 April 2016 (UTC)
I can understand not changing the version that a file is pointing to, but it seems kind of ridiculous to say that a tag of "this file is CC-BY" has no legal effect, to the point we actually delete them. Carl Lindberg (talk) 23:27, 9 April 2016 (UTC)
We have a slightest consensus to consider CC BY as CC BY 1.0 which is the initial version. But that version is almost obsolete. The latest version (4.0) is not acceptable to all due to some reasons. I don't know how we can get into a consensus to assume CC BY=CC BY 3.0. Even if accept such files, we may forced to take them down when asked by the copyright holder due to this vagueness. Keeping files until there is a complaint is against COM:PCP. Jee 04:42, 10 April 2016 (UTC)
I disagree that that is a reasonable doubt. I don't think 4.0 was current at the time of the statement in question, so agreed on that, but whatever was current at the time would seem to be reasonable. And I think versions 2.0+ allow a work to be used under any later version anyways -- it's not like mixing a CC-BY-2.0 work in a CC-BY-3.0 derivative is a copyright problem. I'm not so sure we would be forced to take them down. Now, it's possible that the instruction in question was basically an order that material should be released with such a license, while perhaps allowing some exceptions, but not an actual release itself -- that could be different. It's one thing to have a policy, but perhaps another to make an actual release. But while I think it's best that OTRS press for a specific version if possible, I don't think deletion is the answer if the version is the only issue. Carl Lindberg (talk) 06:06, 10 April 2016 (UTC)
I've no objection if this is accepted uniformly. My memory, in my OTRS time, we asked for version number when not mentioned. I had asked same question in CC mailing list and the answer was also version number is a must. (if I remember well) Jee 16:14, 10 April 2016 (UTC)
COM:ET does indeed state that a version number is required (since 2011).    FDMS  4    20:11, 18 April 2016 (UTC)
  •  Info: Considering that the Ord. 112/14 of 2010 effectively does not specify the exact version of the CC-BY license, I already contacted to the SEGEGOB three weeks ago, asking what is the exact license officially adopted by the Government of Chile (we accepted implicitly the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Chile license for years, considering that most of the Government websites —like gob.cl— have a link to the CC-BY-3.0 Chile license), but their answer was not satisfactory, so I requested a Denying reclamation. Therefore, I just contacted to the Departamento de Derechos Intelectuales of the DIBAM (at the time to requested an interview), in an attemp to get reliable information about the licensing, at the time to urge the SEGEGOB to give a reliable answer. That answer will be mandatory. --Amitie 10g (talk) 23:07, 8 April 2016 (UTC)

file has been deleted because of an alleged lack of evidence that it belongs to the public domain !!! although that is part of the official documentation of public investment, which was implemented and accomplished by the Polish government and the residents of the city Chelm, is part of national heritage and does not require any evidence for this, because it is a fait accompli, public and well-known, but also ignoring the "Anonymous-EU template" and "PD-Polish template", by owing to the retroactive application of the superiority of private over public property to the work done for the public use and domain, and the work done well before the introduction of any copyright in Poland 14 juin 1926 - file was deleted without any discussion, ignoring all the presented arguments, only on the basis of incorrect, unsubstantiated and unjustified suppositions about the authorship and the death of the alleged author in 1945, bypassing the public nature of the work, which is obvious and requires no proofs ! - therefore, this file should be restored (translation by google)

  • I can't see the original file, but it sounds like it was a photograph of an original drawing, and the author of the drawing died in 1945. PD-Polish is only about the photograph, which in this case may not qualify for copyright in the first place, as it's basically a copy of the drawing, and the copyright of the drawing is the important part here. PD-Polish does not apply to the drawing; that is a straight 70pma by current Polish law. If the author died in 1945 as claimed, then the original deletion was correct, as copyright had not yet expired -- but it would have expired on January 1, 2016. And since Poland was 50 pma on the URAA date, that means it became PD on the URAA date itself, and its U.S. copyright would not have been restored. Its Polish copyright got restored shortly thereafter when they implemented the EU directive, but just expired again this year. So... given the information in the DR, it's a  Support for me.

Requesting undeletion of file on this reply.

I want to request to kindly restore the file as it was deleted as understanding it as a wallpaper. Template:Cc-by-3.0-BollywoodHungama says that screenshots, wallpapers and promotional posters uploaded should be considered as copyright violations and should be deleted. But this file was not a wallpaper. It was a still image of that person. Example, File:Mandana Karimi.jpg is also a still image of a person. It's been linked to "Photos" section: Take a look. The same is with File:Jennifer Winget photo.jpg. The first version of File:Jennifer Winget photo.jpg even contains "Bollywood Hungama" watermark justifying that the image is not a copyright violation from other website. In the second version, I removed the "Bollywood Hungama" watermark for a clean image. But this file File:Jennifer Winget photo.jpg is neither a screenshot from any film, a wallpaper, promotional poster nor a copyright violation. Mr. Smart ℒION☎️I👨‍👩‍04:24, 7 July 2016 (UTC)

Another explanation: This File:Mandana Karimi.jpg can also be taken from this site or even this site. It's available on many websites. How do you guarantee that this image is only taken from Bollywood Hungama website? This image File:Jennifer Winget photo.jpg is also available on many websites, but the first version of the file uploaded contains the "Bollywood Hungama" watermark. Mr. Smart ℒION☎️I👨‍👩‍04:32, 7 July 2016 (UTC)

As per Template:Cc-by-3.0-BollywoodHungama, at which Bollywood party or event was this photo taken? Thuresson (talk) 05:04, 7 July 2016 (UTC)
The image is not from any Bollywood party or event. The image was just a still image of Jennifer Winget. This is the link which I had given in the file, and it's link is going to "Photos" section. And the same is with File:Mandana Karimi.jpg. The link is given to this source ("Photos" section), and its license review is passed. As per Template:Cc-by-3.0-BollywoodHungama, no restrictions have been given to still images of persons as these images contain "Bollywood Hungama" watermark. Mr. Smart ℒION☎️I👨‍👩‍05:39, 7 July 2016 (UTC)
Than how come this File:Mandana Karimi.jpg's license review is passed. And how is it a valued image. It is not from any Bollywood party or event. The same is with File:Jennifer Winget photo.jpg. This comment I've also made above. If the template says that only Bollywood parties and events images should be uploaded than File:Mandana Karimi.jpg should also be deleted. Mr. Smart ℒION☎️I👨‍👩‍12:50, 7 July 2016 (UTC)

These are some more examples that these images are still images of celebrities and they have been reviewed by Yann. Take a look: File:Deepika Padukone image from Bollywood Hungama.jpg, File:Kareena Kapoor - Bollywood hungama.jpg, File:Kareena Kapoor Khan - Bollywood hungama.jpg, File:Sachiin Joshi.jpg, File:Aish N Madhuri.jpg. There might be more files like these.

When your guidelines say that Please note that as of 21 February 2012, image-reviewers may notreview their own uploads unless the account is an approved bot., than how come a user (who is not even image reviewer) Abyjohn1991, has reviewed his own uploads. One example: File:Barkha Madan bhoot party.jpg. Mr. Smart ℒION☎️I👨‍👩‍03:40, 8 July 2016 (UTC)

Thuresson, Mr. Smart LION: Your understanding of the permission is wrong. Bollywood Hungama does not organise any party or event. It takes pictures of parties and events organised by and for Bollywood people. "Parties and events" has to be taken in a broad sense: any event related to Bollywood people where cameramen are invited or allowed. Are excluded movie materials and pictures taken outside India, as these pictures are not made by Hungama staff/contractors. It is a paparazzi company which sells high quality pictures, and licenses low quality ones with a watermark under a free license. A very clever business model, IMHO. Regards, Yann (talk) 18:01, 8 July 2016 (UTC)
I'd be very careful here. Bollywood Hungama also watermarks and hosts images they very likely don't own the copyright for. Compare for example the now-deleted File:Bipasha Karan at their Reception.jpg. Huon (talk) 19:00, 8 July 2016 (UTC)
I didn't say that any material with a watermark is OK. I could agree that the distinction between allowed pictures and others is not very easy. Wallapers are under a different type of URL, within the "wallpapers" subdirectory (e.g. [13]). Please notice that pictures under the "photos" subdirectory are of low resolution, while pictures in the "wallpapers" subdirectory are also available in medium and high resolution. Your and Czar's arguments in the DR do not prove anything. Since Hungama sells high resolution pictures, it is not surprising to find them elsewhere. Pictures on Hungama website are not attributed. Regards, Yann (talk) 19:55, 8 July 2016 (UTC)
As per Yann's above comment and non-deletion of above mentioned persons' images in the "Photos" subdirectory of Bollywood Hungama, I want File:Jennifer Winget photo.jpg to be restored as this image is also the same case. But what about the movie still images File:Aish N Madhuri.jpg and File:Barkha Madan bhoot party.jpg? Mr. Smart ℒION☎️I👨‍👩‍05:08, 9 July 2016 (UTC)
Yann, so you're arguing it's likely that a couple would, instead of hiring a wedding photographer, invite paparazzi and buy their wedding photos from them? That doesn't sound like a plausible scenario to me. Huon (talk) 11:17, 9 July 2016 (UTC)
Huon: Bollywood weddings are hardly private. These are public events, where dozens of photographers are present. Regards, Yann (talk) 14:59, 9 July 2016 (UTC)
Mr. Smart LION: File:Aish N Madhuri.jpg is clearly not a movie still. For the other one, I am quite undecided. Regards, Yann (talk) 15:05, 9 July 2016 (UTC)
Whether the wedding was private or public, the married couple published (a higher-quality version of) that image on their private Instagram channel. So you're arguing it's more likely that they bought photos of their own wedding from paparazzi than that Bollywood Hungama scraped it from Instagram and put their own tag on the image. I happen to disagree with that. Huon (talk) 15:11, 9 July 2016 (UTC)
Now as per Yann's above comment and non-deletion of File:Mandana Karimi.jpg, File:Deepika Padukone image from Bollywood Hungama.jpg, File:Kareena Kapoor - Bollywood hungama.jpg, File:Kareena Kapoor Khan - Bollywood hungama.jpg and File:Sachiin Joshi.jpg, will File:Jennifer Winget photo.jpg be restored? Because this file is also the same case as these files. Mr. Smart ℒION☎️I👨‍👩‍17:45, 10 July 2016 (UTC)

These files also don't belong to photos from any Bollywood party or event. When these files haven't marked for deletion, File:Jennifer Winget photo.jpg should be restored. Mr. Smart ℒION☎️I👨‍👩‍03:52, 11 July 2016 (UTC)

✓ Done: I left the duplicate deleted. If there's a scope issue, that can be handled in a deletion request. --INeverCry 19:04, 26 July 2016 (UTC)

@Virginia Tech Libraries: As mentioned elsewhere by Ellin Beltz, please forward the written documentation to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org so it can be verified that your account is indeed connected to the Library. Wiki accounts are inherently anonymous.
Since the images were previously published under a license that is not acceptable on Commons (CC-BY-NC-SA) we cannot undelete them until OTRS verifies the less-restrictive licensing. Reventtalk 03:57, 27 July 2016 (UTC)

 Not done: OTRS will request undeletion once the relicensing of the specific parts of the work is verified. --Reventtalk 03:59, 27 July 2016 (UTC)

Hi, Someone could take a look to this nomination, it was closed before I could share the right link. Thanks --The Photographer (talk) 01:55, 29 June 2016 (UTC)

@The Photographer: That's still not the right link, it's not the archive of the website given as the source. Also... searching TinEye indicates the same image was visible, as part of a collage, on http://www.aeropuerto-maiquetia.com.ve/pages/tips3.html as far back as 2007, which rather indicates that the website you used in 2011 (which had, per the archive, a very 'generic' claim that they used a 'creative commons license') probably didn't own the image anyhow. Sorry. Reventtalk 02:38, 27 July 2016 (UTC)

 Not done: per Revent. --INeverCry 06:45, 27 July 2016 (UTC)

Sehr geehrtes Commons-Team, ich bitte hiermit um den Transfer von diesem Bild (und allen gleichzeitig mitgelöschten Bildern) zur deutschen Wikipedia - in dieser ist der bemängelte Hintergrund (bei der einmaligen Wahlveranstaltung am 16.5.2016) sicher kein Problem. (Bitte jeweils auch auf der Bildbeschreibungsseite in der WP.de den Vermerk für 'nicht-Commons-fähig' setzen.) -- Schönen Gruß, Sonne7 (talk) 18:34, 2 July 2016 (UTC)

 Oppose Auch auf de.wikipedia gilt der Grundsatz: "Nicht erlaubt ist allerdings die Veröffentlichung von Fotos, auf denen Kunstwerke zu sehen sind, die noch urheberrechtlich geschützt sind, oder sofern die Fotos andere Rechte Dritter (z. B. Persönlichkeitsrechte) verletzen" (siehe de:Wikipedia:Bildrechte). Die Hintergrundposter auf dieser Veranstaltung sind nunmal urheberrechtlich geschützt, und insbesondere bei dem hier genannten Beispiel sind die Dimensionen so eindeutig, dass eher der Redner als de minimis gelten muss, als das Poster.

That image just shows the evolution of our school's seal from the very first one to the present, It doesn't intend to infringe copyrights nor do I as the original uploader claim the logos as my own Drewnewvillage (talk) 09:48, 27 July 2016 (UTC)

@Drewnewvillage: "For wikipedia use only" images are not allowed on Wikimedia Commons. The statement "To serve as the primary means of visual identification at the top of the article dedicated to the entity in question", which you made, is a fair-use justification based on the Wikipedia Non-free Content policy, and can only be used for images uploaded directly to Wikipedia. Commons does not permit fair-use material. Reventtalk 09:56, 27 July 2016 (UTC)

Please restore the following pages:

Reason: This is just a capture from the Hong Kong analog channel "31A" from the services provider Radio Television Hong Kong. RTHK started to provide analog TV services at 1 April,2016 to replace the services of that provided by HKATV before and I upload this image to help the readers to see the way how RTHK provide analog TV services (which convert the digital signal of digital channel 31 and 33 into analog signal named "31A" and "33A”.) I will not and I cannot earn money or even violate the copyright of RTHK from the image. For the one who will read this, I hope you can undelete the image uploaded by me. Thank you!

  •  Oppose This is a Cross-wiki upload from es.wikipedia with only "screenshot" in the EXIF. This has no camera metadata and is 623 × 628 (164 KB). I would keep this deleted per COM:PRP. INeverCry 21:04, 24 July 2016 (UTC)
 Oppose. Taking a screenshot of someone else's copyrighted work does not make it one's own work to license. The uploader has demonstrated time and time again that their authorship claims are not to be trusted. LX (talk, contribs) 09:46, 25 July 2016 (UTC)

I would like to appeal the deletion of File:Lackawanna College Angeli Hall.jpg from the College's Wikipedia page. The file in question was uploaded to Wikipedia by me as a full-time staff member of Lackawanna College. In an effort to improve our search engine results and the accuracy of information about the College across the web, I uploaded the file in good faith as a representation of our main campus building in Scranton, Pa. The image in question is readily available on the College's website, www.lackawanna.edu, and is commonly used in our marketing materials. --Peterparkerpa (talk) 13:40, 27 July 2016 (UTC)

this is my work, you can contact me any time to verify (google my name it is a real one). The image is a promo photo released by me and the person depicted (lars von trier) for free usage by anyone.

I am new on wikipedia writing and quite frankly dont know how this whole process works. If uploading the image and declaring it is mine is not enough, what do i need to do in order to prove it and successfully upload it? I've had pretty much every photo i uploaded deleted. All photos i have uploaded are promo photos from mr Von Trier's work. Despite declaring his free use release when uploading them, the photos are constantly deleted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Augstn (talk • contribs) 00:48, 26 July 2016 (UTC)

Because accounts are basically anonymous and thousands of images copies from the internet are uploaded each day, we require a separate process (COM:OTRS) for images previously published on the internet. This process aims to ensure the copyright owner is in fact licensing the work, and avoids any confusion over what rights are being given up. It's also possible to make the images available on a source site associated with the copyright owner with a clear license there, but otherwise, when we see images copied from the internet without an apparent license on the source page, we tend to delete. Carl Lindberg (talk) 03:52, 26 July 2016 (UTC)
Also, you were just lying about the copyright status of many of your illegal uploads, as the admins :@Hedwig in Washington: and :@INeverCry: could easily prove. You used totally different names as authors as the international press did and I gave evidence to that, also "your" works were never published under a free license. Please also read COM:Licensing first, like already mentioned several times on your Discussion Page. I'm really impressed your account hasn't been sanctioned, yet. Greetings from Germany.--Mario-WL (talk) 04:23, 26 July 2016 (UTC)

 OpposeOn July 25, 2016, you uploaded the photo File:Dunst-cannes-trier.jpg claiming this is your own photo. This is in fact a photo by Associated Press photographer Joel Ryan (apimages.com. This is not a "promo photo", it is an editorial photo by somebody who is trying to make a living taking photos for money.

The same day you uploaded File:Lars-von-trier-shooting.jpg claiming that this is also you own photo. According to EXIF data the name of the phographer is Rolf Konow a respected still photographer in Danish movies. Thuresson (talk) 21:18, 28 July 2016 (UTC)


 Not done per COM:PRP and snowball close. Augstn, if you are the real copyright holder of this work, please send an email to the OTRS, and also explain there why you uploaded works by other people without their permission and even claimed that they are your own work which is actually not. -- Poké95 10:16, 29 July 2016 (UTC) (non-admin close)

This file was deleted under COM:PRP even though it was clearly a work of the uploader and released under the GNU GPL and Creative Commons licenses. The order of events was as follows:

  1. The image was uploaded as an "own" work and undisturbed for years.
  2. More recently, an anonymous user and a brand-new user screwed around with the image-summary template. They tried changing the username of the uploader to somebody's real name, which broke that link. They [presumably accidentally] broke the {{En}} template's syntax, causing the description to no longer appear in the image summary. And lastly, they added a spam link to [presumably] the disc jockey's Facebook page, except they added it to the copyright permission parameter of the image-summary template (again, new users don't usually understand the finer points of template syntax).
  3. Weeks later when I saw the errant edits, I applied for rollback privileges to make this kind of cleanup easier. I used the above spam and test edits as an example for how I would use the permission, if granted.
  4. Very shortly after I posted my request, Ellin Beltz nominated the file for deletion. Perhaps she'd seen my rollback request, I'm not sure. Regardless, she didn't bother to investigate the page history, instead citing "no permission at Facebook" and "strange description" as reasons. Note that the GNU and CC licenses remained on the image page all along.
  5. I cleaned the vandalism and explained as much on the FfD.
  6. Nobody else bothered to !vote.
  7. INeverCry closed the discussion and deleted the image citing COM:PRP, which is silly because by that logic we'd be deleting every file that saw a spam link accidentally inserted in the permission parameter of the summary template. INeverCry didn't bother to address my concerns, either.

Please reconsider the status of this file, particularly in regard to how the uploader labeled it. Thanks. – voidxor 22:48, 30 July 2016 (UTC)

Hi, I would like this file undeleted, as it is in full circulation throughout the internet, and on iTunes. Anyone can use this picture to identify 'This Could Be Heartbreak' by The Amity Affliction without breaking copyright laws. All of their other album covers are on Wikimedia, and the band obviously didn't upload them, it was a user like me. Thanks --Josh2221 (talk) 04:51, 31 July 2016 (UTC)

That's not how copyright works. The fact that you found something on the Internet is generally an indication that you may not upload it here. Not the other way around, as you seem to think.
Quoting directly from the notice on your user talk page: "Wikimedia Commons only accepts free content—that is, images and other media files that can be used by anyone, for any purpose. Traditional copyright law does not grant these freedoms, and unless noted otherwise, everything you find on the web is copyrighted and not permitted here." You should read the messages on your user talk page. They're not there as decoration.
Any album covers you found on English Wikipedia articles were likely hosted locally on that project as non-free content under a fair use rationale for a specific context, but Commons, being a general purpose media repository, by definition has no context, so fair use does not apply here.
