First of all, i'm sorry for not very well at understanding the system of media copyright in wikipedia, those photos that i upload basically is from our organization and it has not already been upload yet so i very confuse about the copyright, so i technically just use http://kmbpalembang.blogspot.co.id/ for the source, it was my bad and i'm very apologise to what i did, i hope in the future i can do better than this and really look up on the copyright system in wikipedia. I'm truly sorry.

I hope the photos and other photos that i've already upload can be undo and reupload with better system. These photos are very important to show an information about our organization activity. Thank you and sorry for my bad english

Marco Andreu Profile , Marco Andreu Performing & Marco Andreu

What happened:These files were deleted because they were filed under the wrong copyright label. The real one is the 4.0 all allowed (for every one of them)

Rights: The blog under the 4.0 international copyright. The pictures on that site were revised, licensed and uploaded by Marco Andreu himself (the owner of the rights)

Request: Undeletion.

--Fernandosmither (talk) 04:12, 30 June 2017 (UTC)

Unfortunately not every site that claims a free license is correct. Please send proof of this permission to OTRS. Guanaco (talk) 04:21, 30 June 2017 (UTC)
Indeed. Moreover, if Marco Andreu is the subject shown in the images he is most likely not the copyright holder because that would be the photographer. So Andreu cannot grant a CC licence for the images at all. What we need is a permission from the actual copyright holder. De728631 (talk) 12:23, 30 June 2017 (UTC)

Undeletion request, image is from my own work

Egpdm (talk) 15:01, 1 July 2017 (UTC)

Hi Egpdm, the file says it was deleted as being a copyright violation because it contained EXIF data from Facebook. It is very common that users here take images from Facebook that are not their own. If this is your own work, you should go back to the Facebook post where the image first appeared, and adjust its caption so it specifies that the photo is under a free license. There are several licenses listed at Commons:Licensing, it is recommended you choose Creative Commons Attribution ShareAlike 4.0 International. You can use it by writing the words "This image is licensed under CC-BY-SA-4.0" or just "CC-BY-SA-4.0". Then please post the Facebook URL link here. If you are unable to do this, you'll need to send an email permission confirming that it was your work, to <permissions-commons@wikimedia.org>. I recommend you use the text at COM:CONSENT, copy and paste it and put it in your name. In this scenario, see Commons:OTRS. Hope you understand that we need to protect the rights of copyright holders and our project. Following either of the steps will be required before this image can be undeleted. Cheers, seb26 (talk) 15:54, 1 July 2017 (UTC)

Hi Tpraytor, thank you for your uploads. You need to provide more information when you make uploads. Commons is a repository that hosts copyright free or freely licensed files. There are generally two reasons why these were deleted: (1) since by law, all creative works are automatically under copyright, we assume that works uploaded to our site need to have proof that they are actually free licensed, because of the large number of content that is uploaded to our project every day that actually belongs to other people. This idea is enshrined in our policy COM:PCP which means in cases of doubt, we are obliged to delete files. (2) When you uploaded these, there was no indication that you were the copyright holder. Photographers who regularly contribute to our site usually contribute large resolution original images that have EXIF data attributing their name. In this case, there were only small files, leading to the conclusion that they were taken from a website. If you are the owner of these files, you need to submit proof and a statement of release to <permissions-commons@wikimedia.org>, and using the model text at COM:CONSENT with your name filled in. Then once the permission is received we can consider undeleting the files. Please see Commons:OTRS if you want more information. Cheers, seb26 (talk) 16:03, 1 July 2017 (UTC)

File:V1 40 years Model List of Essential Medicines.001.png

This file was released by its creator User:Lorenzo.moja under an open license. One can google his name to determine who he is. Anyway have uploaded the file locally on EN WP and tagged it with "keep local".[1] Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 01:38, 12 June 2017 (UTC)

@Doc James: Just to make it clear, I quite agree with you that the WHO is perfectly able to use a freely licensed image in one of their publications, and that we do not need OTRS permission if the work has not been previously published. Looking at this, however, the map used appears to be a derivative of http://www.freepik.com/free-vector/lcd-world-map-infographic_790018.htm (or, possibly, of some other image based on it, but the essential design seems quite clearly the same). If so, the claimed license is not valid. - Reventtalk 03:08, 12 June 2017 (UTC)
  •  Oppose due to WHOwashing per Revent.   — Jeff G. ツ 03:26, 12 June 2017 (UTC)
  •  Neutral I'm pretty sure that such a map is a "common idea", and not highly original. I see no reason why a large organization such as WHO would not have made this logo themselves (even if based on other works, this is not original enough to warrant it being a DW of a previous version).However, I would like to see some evidence that the uploader is connected with the WHO, and not just user a "well known" name as their username, and pretending to be that person. --Jonatan Svensson Glad (talk) 03:58, 12 June 2017 (UTC)
    @Josve05a: From comments made on enwiki (at the featured list nomination) I think it's somewhat clear that Doc James actually knows the uploader. The problem with simply calling it a 'common idea', however, is that it's not simply an independent version of the same concept.... the pattern is composed of dots instead of squares, but they are in the same positions (including the somewhat unusual projection), and there is an identical choice of which small islands to include. It's an exact overlay, close enough that TinEye matches the images. - Reventtalk 04:42, 12 June 2017 (UTC)
    So that image that it is potentially based on is listed as CC BY. All one needs to do is add them as an author if it is a derivative no? By the way the account that uploaded the image in question has email enabled. They say no one from here emailed him to notify him of the deletion or to ask him for further clarification. On EN WP we have a policy that no offwiki accounts can be linked to of a user? Does this apply here? I can email people with details?
    Okay will wait to here back on how the uploaded created the underlying map. By the way what is "WHOwashing"? Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 10:49, 12 June 2017 (UTC)
  •  Support undeletion. I fail to understand the deletion rationale. The freepik source is clearly CC-BY, so OTRS is irrelevant and whatever the original license was on Commons, the correct action would be to fix the license, not delete the file. @Daphne Lantier: could you revisit your sysop action here please? Thanks --Fæ (talk) 11:17, 12 June 2017 (UTC)
    Looking at the fine print of the freepik image, it is not CC BY. But we do have a CC BY version here.[2]. So the image can just be adjusted. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 11:22, 12 June 2017 (UTC)
I was going by the main page, I see there are a series of caveats on the secondary page. It would be better to have some precedent setting deletion requests that explain the issues with this source, rather than this getting buried at UNDEL. In practice, nobody quotes the UNDEL archives, so novel copyright discussion here is far less useful in the long term than at DR. For this reason when there is doubt at DR the issues should be expanded for the record before a final sysop closure. --Fæ (talk) 12:20, 12 June 2017 (UTC)
We will recreate the image in question using the dot map on commons.
The prior dot map was within the "Business Strategy suite of templates" of which I do not know the copyright. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 15:36, 12 June 2017 (UTC)

Category:Metalurh Stadium, Komsomolske

I would like to ask the undeletion of this category. It was deleted by @Ahonc: because it contained only one file. However, there are at least two good reasons why, in my opinion, it should exist:

  • This category was used in a Wikidata item d:Q18434429. It is not possible to add a link to Commons from a Wikipedia article without creating a category (or a gallery, but a gallery of one file looks useless)
  • A Help desk discussion showed that there is no policy that bans such categories, and categories can even be empty if they are a part of a clear structure. This category was not empty and was well integrated to the category structure (I cleaned up the entire structure myself).

As Ahonc who deleted this category does not agree with undeletion, putting it here for a wider discussion. Thanks — NickK (talk) 23:11, 2 July 2017 (UTC)

File:Ohm-logo-new.png

OHM Wallet recently underwent a change in administration, and a rebrand, which included the release of a new, higher-quality logo image.

New logo is recognized on the official website, at https://ohmwallet.com.

It figures prominently in digital imagery and video content being produced by the organization, as per the following example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2EauoSY4iP4&feature=youtu.be

As the original uploader, I had permission from the organization to display the logo on the wikipedia page. I may have improperly attributed copyright ownership. This can be changed, or a new copy of the logo re-uploaded, in order to comply with Wikimedia's content policies.

I do apologize for any confusion or impropriety on my part. I have sought to provide only objective information about the organization, and to present appropriately representative imagery. No deliberate violation or deception was at any point intended.

OHM is a reputable, heavily traded cryptocurrency. The role of Wikipedia in displaying accurate and unbiased information about noteworthy subject matter is appreciated.

 Support {{PD-Iran}} applies. This is a photograph from 1970 so the copyright expired 30 years later. It is also PD in the United States for two reasons: since Iran is not party to the Berne Convention, the URAA does not apply, and afaik the US don't have copyright relations with Iran anyway.

Concerning File:Maurahealey-web-download.jpg

Hello, The file I uploaded is a government photo in the public domain. It was downloaded from the Massachusetts Attorney General's Office website (http://www.mass.gov/ago/about-the-ago/about-attorney-general-maura-healey; high resolution photograph available at http://www.mass.gov/ago/about-the-ago/about-attorney-general-maura-healey/maurahealey-web-download.jpg). According to the website's Terms of Use (see below for text; policy available at http://www.mass.gov/ago/news-and-updates/social-media/communication-policies/terms-of-use.html), materials, including image files, on the Attorney General's website are under copyright. However, they may be used for "fair use" purposes according to these Terms; for example, using the image to further "criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, research, and other related activities" is acceptable. Enabling the furtherance of all such activities is Wikipedia's prerogative and is in line with its mission. Therefore, the image should be uploaded, as it is legal to do so under guidelines offered by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, guidelines which are themselves promulgated in accordance with United States copyright law. Thank you, --Harry.breault (talk) 20:33, 26 May 2017 (UTC)


From Massachusetts Attorney General's Office Terms of Use: "With respect to material copyrighted by the Commonwealth, including the design, layout, and other features of Mass.Gov, the Commonwealth forbids any copying or use other than "fair use" under the Copyright Act.

But see {{PD-MAGov}}.

Maps from the Malay Wikipedia

    • Commons doesn't automatically accept all files from other Wikimedia projects. We need to be sure that the file is free, and that all information are provided. I am quite indecided here, so I'd like opinions from other experienced volunteers. Regards, Yann (talk) 09:16, 23 June 2017 (UTC)

Since the two maps exist on WP:MS and there is doubt here, I would not restore them here. Very few maps are drawn from scratch -- it is much more likely that these were traced or copied from existing maps which may or may not have copyrights. Unless we can find out more about their creation, I don't think we can keep them. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 21:22, 23 June 2017 (UTC)

(Un)deletion Notice of File:Democracy Constitution .01.png

Greetings!

1. I have read your deletion-request notice; This is not an undeletion request as such, but an explanation and request for sufficent Information:

These files are complained about to be no editable as 1 deletion justification; This is not my fault, but the very character of .png-picture- and .pdf-document files, while WP seem not to offer any word-processing-file upload for editable document files -- Please explain...

2. The special Microsoft "Urgent" imprint should not be a problem, because I can easily create a .pdf/.png-version without such imprint; You shpuld have mentioned such option in the deletion request notice!...

3. I am currently discussing with my mentor and the observers the article and thus the .png-file content; This content is not a theory or political-belief thesis, but an example of the in continental Europe well-known requirements of a workable Democracy Constitution that is now also increasingly spread elsewhere by necessity. When I visited these files, I discovered also other people's files containing eg. a full-picture Sovjet, or Islam flag, together with sovjet- and arabic-writing articles. Do you really mean that Wikipedia's purpose is propaganda for dictatorship governments?!!!...

I am looking forward to your relpy.

Commons:Deletion requests/Files in Category:Daniel Cande

Hi, The National Library of France (BNF), who acquired the rights, released these files into the public domain. Later it changed the copyright mention. These files were imported when they were under the public domain in Gallica. Some of them were license reviewed. There are still under a public mention in Europeana. We have a near consensus that these files should not be deleted, including an opinion from WMF Legal. Regards, Yann (talk) 10:39, 5 July 2017 (UTC)

 Oppose That there are differing opinions is not a valid reason to undelete. Thuresson (talk) 11:38, 5 July 2017 (UTC)
Thuresson: Could you please give a valid reason for deleting these files? Thanks, Yann (talk) 11:46, 5 July 2017 (UTC)

 Comment Well, in fact the WMF hasn't ruled anything. It's said that it won't delete anything (if the result of the community consensus is 'keep'; obviously, if the community decides otherwise, the WMF will do nothing again). Thus, the WMF is meaning that it will respect our decision, but not saying that they must be kept. --Discasto talk 12:07, 5 July 2017 (UTC)

If these files were copied from Flickr, nobody would ask for deletion, let alone delete them. Why doing otherwise because they come from Gallica? Regards, Yann (talk) 14:09, 5 July 2017 (UTC)
If these files were copied from Flickr, they would have a CC license, which we know cannot be recalled. "Why doing otherwise because they come from Gallica?" Because a mere "public domain" statement does not have a legal binding. It's so evident than the WMF hasn't been able to say otherwise (well, in fact they've told that it's the community who must come to a conclusion; if it were crystal clear they would have said it). --Discasto talk 15:36, 5 July 2017 (UTC)
You are playing on words. How is the BNF statement different that a release to the public domain? Is is not. It is the exact equivalent of {{PD-self}} here. Regards, Yann (talk) 15:49, 5 July 2017 (UTC)
  • As I have told the closing admin on his talk page, I found his rationale for closing the DR particularly weak. He assimilated BNF's use of the public domain mark to its use at Flickr. In my opinion, this assimilation is inappropriate. On one side, anybody can put a PDM at Flickr, and we all agree it means nothing. On the other hand, BNF's use of the PDM at Europeana is rather different. It should be remembered that Europeana encourages the contributing institutions to use the PDM as a certification tool. BNF is in the capacity of making such certification for Cande's digital media as they acquired the originals, negotiated with the author the terms of the publication of the digital copies, scanned and published them. It should also be made clear that not all cultural institutions favor the CC0 license and some consider the PDM as a better tool, particularly because it does not add a contractual layer which may be inappropriate in certain conditions. Another aspect to consider is that some contributors here have taken steps to try to secure the situation. I have contacted Cande who declined to answer and Yann has contacted the Foundation. — Racconish ☎ 19:14, 5 July 2017 (UTC)

File:Blue Smoke British Longhair.jpg

I would like to know the reason why my work has been identified as copyright and not free to use. This is my own photography of my own cat that was bred and raised in my home. Please restore my file.

--Felinology (talk) 22:02, 3 July 2017 (UTC)

Felinology, the deletion reason suggested it was a copyright violation because the same image appears at [8], which has a watermark for mcqueencats.com. Has this image been published elsewhere by you before being uploaded to Commons? Do you still have the original photograph without watermark but with camera EXIF data? seb26 (talk) 22:15, 3 July 2017 (UTC)
seb26, Thanks for getting back to me. I had it published only on my website (mcqueencats.com) and on the personal facebook page. Unfortunately, I do not have a photo without watermark. I have many photos of this cat from the same shot but have signed all of them.
Felinology, that is OK. I have a suggestion for you. Are you looking to contribute all of your images or only a few of them? If it is a few of them, you can edit your web site and include a caption on the select images that you want to release, and write the words "This image is licensed under CC-BY-SA-4.0" (and you can read about what that license is here), then reply back here with a link to that page. Alternatively, you can create a separate page like mcqueencats.com/cc-images and just put that image or others on that page and say, "All images are copyrighted but these image(s) are released under CC-BY-SA-4.0" and then link us just that page. The reason why this needs to be done is because someone who is an admin of mcqueencats.com needs to do it, otherwise the action of doing it is not seen as being a decision of mcqueencats.com but rather a seemingly unrelated user account. Alternatively, if you can't edit the web page, you can view the page Commons:OTRS which has information about how to privately send us a free license release. It takes longer which is why I recommend trying the above option first. Cheers, seb26 (talk) 13:55, 4 July 2017 (UTC)

File:COMBIMAC logo to undelete.jpg

The logo was created for and by our company Combimac who has copyright. We have tried to release and publish it under CC By-SA 4.0, but obviously missed out somewhere --Duc1199 (talk) 12:58, 4 July 2017 (UTC)

Hi Duc1199, it was deleted as suspected of being a copyright violation. There was no way to tell who you your user account is, in relation to your company. If you want to contribute the logo to Commons, can you please:
  • adjust your company's web page/about section to include a line that says "Our logo is licensed under CC-BY-SA-4.0" and then post the link to that page when you are done; or
  • send an email using the text template found here filling in your and the company's name on it and emailing it to us at <permissions-commons@wikimedia.org> mentioning that you are speaking about the company logo. This step is slower because of the number of other inquiries at the moment so please try the first step if possible. See also Commons:OTRS.
Then the file can be restored. Please don't try to upload the file again until then, because re-uploads are not encouraged. But anyway thanks for your patience, we are just trying to make sure we don't infringe copyright. Cheers, seb26 (talk) 13:49, 4 July 2017 (UTC)
Hello seb26, thanks for the input and clarification. An e-mail has been send together with 2 more historic company name images files, which we would like to use on our Wikipedia page. I hope this is the way forward, or should we address each single file? --Duc1199 (talk) 07:06, 5 July 2017 (UTC)
Duc1199, that's fine, as long as you used the template text I linked above it should be OK, now just hang on until a volunteer responds to your request and uploads the file. Just a bit of advice for you/your company: please read en:Wikipedia:Plain and simple conflict of interest guide first before editing the article, it is suggested you make comments on the article's "Discussion" page instead. Take care, seb26 (talk) 15:29, 5 July 2017 (UTC)

I suggest that the first one send a license and then give the OTRS ticket number to the other eleven so that all twelve license appear on the same ticket.

File:Sidney H. Chang in December 1979.jpg

Hi,

I am working on the article entitled "Sidney H. Chang" and I have uploaded this photo from his personal archive. I have clearly identified that the photo was taken in December 1979. There is no name of the photographer or the name of the photo studio where it was taken. I only know it was taken here in Fresno, California, where he lived and died. Last October this photo was submitted to the Fresno Bee for the obituary. His sons do not oppose the publication of the photo and the article on Wikipedia. Thank you very much for your kind consideration of my request.

Best regards, California Historian --California Historian (talk) 04:04, 8 July 2017 (UTC)

 Oppose Probably under copyright until 2075. Thuresson (talk) 07:54, 8 July 2017 (UTC)
California Historian, if you don't know who the photographer is, it can only be assumed that it is still copyright protected, which makes it not suitable for Wikimedia Commons. The English Wikipedia which is the project where you are working on the article, however, has a policy that permits copyrighted pictures under U.S. fair use terms, and in this case it might be appropriate considering the person is deceased. Please read about that at en:Wikipedia:Non-free content and then ask a question at en:Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. seb26 (talk) 12:32, 8 July 2017 (UTC)

yuri gutsatz

Dear team of Wikipedia,

I have uploaded the folowing photos twice already, all of them ad been deleted. As we own the photos (inheritants of Yuri Gutsatz) we claim the copyrights. Could you advise the steps to follow so that the photos can be uploaded according to your rules ? Thank you in advance.

Best,

Caroline — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yurigutsatz (talk • contribs) 12:31, 8 July 2017 (UTC)

Hi Caroline/User:Yurigutsatz, the steps are as follows: please write an email to <permissions-commons@wikimedia.org> using the model text found here and mention the names of the files. This text is a legal way of releasing the photographs in your possession under a free license, which then means they can be used on Commons and other Wikimedia projects. Please make sure you include more information about how you are the inheritant(s) of Yuri Gutsatz, you may need to include documentation. That email address is private and all information is kept confidential. Read more at Commons:OTRS about the process. Once your email is received, it will take some time for the agents to respond, but they will be reply to you to acknowledge it is received, and then arrange for the files to be restored. Thanks for your interest in contributing! seb26 (talk) 12:42, 8 July 2017 (UTC)

 Oppose Please note that simply owning a paper or digital copy of a photograph as the heir of a previous owner does not give you the right to freely license it here. That right almost always belongs to the actual photographer or his heirs. So, unless you can show that one of your parents or grandparents actually took the photos, you cannot freely license them. In that case, in order to have them on Commons, you must find the heirs of the actual photographer. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 13:53, 8 July 2017 (UTC)

Verletzung von Persönlichkeitsrechten (Spannerfoto)

It was deleted quickly by user:Hystrix without discussion with the comment "per User:Frze", after it was kept. Used at wikimedia projects. There was no reason to quickly delete the photo. --Insider (talk) 07:11, 28 June 2017 (UTC)

 Oppose - Dieses Bild war nicht "kept", sondern wurde per Bot automatisch noch ein zweites mal hochgeladen. Dieses Bild verstößt klipp und klar gegen Persönlichkeitsrechte, eine Verwendung in wikimedia-Projekten ist nicht statthaft. --Frze > talk 07:22, 28 June 2017 (UTC)

Panoramia-Upload-Bot-Dateinamen sind leider nicht eindeutig. Wenn eine Datei gelöscht wird, wird der Name unter Umständen danach für ein anderes Bild vergeben. Daher sind vermutlich auch die beiden gelöschten Bilder mit dem Dateinamen verschieden.
Filenames from Panoramio upload bot are ambigious. If a file is deleted the filename is sometimes reused by the bot for another image. Most likely both files with that name showed different images. --Magnus (talk) 07:50, 28 June 2017 (UTC)
I'm talking about the second upload (kept). At Commons there are countless such photos (Category:Women, Category:Nude or partially nude women, etc). There is even a special template {{Personality rights}} (includes). --Insider (talk) 08:38, 28 June 2017 (UTC)
 Comment Die von mir gelöschte Version zeigte eine nur mit Bikinihose bekleidete Frau, vermutlich am Strand liegend, sich sonnend, die ihre Brüste mit ihren Händen bedeckt. Die Frau posiert nicht für das Bild, sondern sie wurde aus einer solchen Position fotografiert, dass sie, selbst wenn sie die Augen geöffnet hätte, den Fotografen nicht sehen könnte (Spannerfoto, Commons:Photographs of identifiable people). Das Bild wurde in zwei Wiktionarys verwendet, um das Verb „bedecken“ zu veranschaulichen. Dafür gibt es andere Fotos, in den genannten Kategorien oder dieses. Hystrix (talk) 09:35, 28 June 2017 (UTC)
There is no action at this picture to use it to illustrate the dictionary article about the verb «прикрывать». In this picture it is. This picture would be suitable for illustrating adjectives («прикрытая голова») or noun («прикрытие головы»), but not the verb «прикрывать» in russian language.This photo is all the more impossible to illustrate the participle («девушка, прикрывшая грудь») and the transgressive («девушка загорает, прикрывая грудь»). The photo was taken in a public place (the city beach of the million-city). The laws of the United States and the Ukraine are not violated. --Insider (talk) 06:46, 29 June 2017 (UTC)
Du hast Recht im ersten Punkt. Die Verwendung des Bildes habe ich nur vermutet, leider nicht überprüft. Den zweiten Punkt sehe ich anders. Commons:Photographs of identifiable people: „A place may be publicly accessible but still retain an expectation of privacy concerning photography, for example a hospital ward during visiting hours.“ С наилучшими пожеланиями Hystrix (talk) 10:15, 30 June 2017 (UTC)
I do not think that we should expect privacy on the municipal beach of the city with a million population. Otherwise, we should delete almost everything in the Category:People at the beach. --Insider (talk) 12:23, 30 June 2017 (UTC)
Alle Bilder in der Category:People at the beach werde ich zur Löschung vorschlagen, wenn die Person(en) identifizierbar oder namentlich genannt werden (außer mit Zustimmung). Und es sollte egal sein, ob es ein Strand an einer Millionenstadt oder in einem Dorf ist. Hystrix (talk) 15:46, 30 June 2017 (UTC)
I only say that the municipal beach, obviously, is a public place. For a millionth city, this seems even more obvious than for a village. See also public place (first line): "A public space is a social space that is generally open and accessible to people. Roads (including the pavement), public squares, parks and beaches are typically considered public space." . --Insider (talk) 06:59, 3 July 2017 (UTC)

 Not done: No further comment after six days. Although we are told above that this is OK under Ukraine law, we have no entry for it under Commons:Photographs_of_identifiable_people. This is not simply an innocent street scene, so in the abscence of firm information on the law, I think COM:PRP must apply. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 11:26, 9 July 2017 (UTC)

Who's "we"? Pluralis majestatis, or is your account being shared by more than one person? It would probably be a good idea for you to read Commons:Guidance for paid editors. It contains information about sharing logotypes correctly (including not claiming that you personally created logos that you didn't personally create) and about the requirement to disclose your conflicts of interest when editing on Wikipedia. —LX (talk, contribs) 10:41, 3 July 2017 (UTC)
Hi User:Loudcrowd, please consider the guideline linked above. The logo was deleted for suspected of being a copyright violation. Caprisa can update its web page's about section with a sentence explaining that the logo is licensed under a free license, for example "Logo licensed under Creative Commons Attribution ShareAlike 4.0 International" (read its conditions here). If you cannot do that, then we need a permission statement using the the template text found at this page (filled in with the name of the organisation sent from an official company account) sent to us at <permissions-commons@wikimedia.org>.

@Seb26: Restored. Daphne Lantier 15:47, 30 June 2017 (UTC)

Request for more comments: this is a PDF scan of a biography, in Hindi. If the permission is confirmed, is this file in scope for Commons, or is it better suited for Wikisource? To me Wikisource seems like a better place.

 Oppose Ticket:2017062310006622 is not convincing. This image looks like a professional portrait and the sender of the OTRS message is making assertions about images that were taken 70 years ago when he may or may not have been alive. Unless he was actually there when the photos were taken -- which he does not say -- I think he is probably stretching in order to allow the images to be used. I would prefer that he take these to WP under Fair Use. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 15:13, 3 July 2017 (UTC)

By the way, I would like to ask for the restoration of these postcards of the twentieth century of North Italy, which were canceled in the past, after several and repeated checks, I personally insured that the postcards that have been seen so often do not have any copyright or rights issues Author

The postcards listed, being Italian, and especially beginning of the twentieth century in italy, I was assured that every postcard had the license of (PD-Italy) I would like to ask you if you can restore these files since they are part of a user's registry that had uploaded a large part of historical files, now erased for possible copyviol

TTimage1.jpg

I request that the File:TTimage1.jpg should not be deleted. I am making a Wikipedia page on the person in the image and have been given permission to use the image. The subject owns all rights to the images.

(Michaelamayz (talk) 04:03, 10 July 2017 (UTC))

Hi Michaelamayz, the rights holder to the image needs to provide a statement to <permissions-commons@wikimedia.org> using the text from this page and filling in their name. If that person was not the original photographer themselves, they also need to include an explanation of how they became the rights holder (what type of agreement was signed, etc.). Please pass this message onto the rights holder because they will need to send the message directly as it cannot come from you or anyone else forwarded. Then when it is received, an OTRS agent will review it and then arrange for the file to be restored. See more information at Commons:OTRS. Thanks, seb26 (talk) 04:19, 10 July 2017 (UTC)

File:MPDlogo.svg

Pido que se rehabilite este archivo debido a los siguientes motivos que voy a enunciar a continuación

  1. El Movimiento Popular Democrático (MPD) sería la organización que tendría los derechos de autor sobre este logo, sin embargo esta organización fue disuelta por el Consejo Nacional Electoral del Ecuador el 3 de julio de 2014 por lo cual se podría considerar como un elemento que ha quedado sin autor.[9]
  2. Este archivo solo consiste de imágenes simples como son una bandera bicolor (Naranja y Celeste) agarrada por un puño que no llega a ser original cuando vez que la mayoría de los partidos de izquierda utilizan un puño en sus logos.
  3. En realidad este logo no es un logo que se encuentre en internet con la calidad que tiene en este archivo, este archivo ha sido más bien una reconstrucción del logo realizada por mí, a la vez que no son los colores 100% originales usados por el verdadero logo del MPD, sino colores que se acercan y que dan una especie de mayor vitalidad al logo
  4. En Ecuador el desconocimiento a las leyes de propiedad intelectual ha provocado que varias imágenes, entre estas las del logo del MPD tengan varias copias en el Internet, pero ningunas de estas es el autor original del logo. La página del autor original seria http://www.mpd15.org.ec/ , sin embargo esta página ya no funciona debido a la disolución de la organización.

Espero que con estos argumentos se pueda devolver esta imagen a Wikimedia Commons y poder así ilustrar las páginas sobre el MPD en Wikipedia
Atentamente
--Erickmacr (talk) 20:12, 10 July 2017 (UTC)

Estimado Erickmacr, gracias por su mensaje. La imagen en cuestión fue borrada debido al estado desconocido de autorización. Como sabe usted, las leyes del derecho de autor y de la propiedad intelectual necesitan ser respetadas en cualquier país y con respecto al tema de esta imagen en Wikimedia Commons, estamos obligados a cumplir con las leyes de Estados Unidos y del país original de la imagen en cuestión, en este caso Ecuador. A tal efecto, colocamos solo contenido que se puede encontrar bajo licencia libre o sin restricciones conocidas. Este logo fue creado por alguien y no consta solo de elementos sencillos sino contiene elementos complejos como el dibujo de la bandera y de la mano: así hay que asumir que es protegido por el derecho de autor. En Ecuador y en EE.UU no podemos alojar esta imagen en Commons hasta que hayan pasado 70 años después del muerto del autor (vea COM:CRT) o en caso que el autor nos entregue autorización y nos afirme a nosotros que se pueda encontrar la imagen bajo licencia libre (vea Commons:OTRS/es). Ciertos proyectos de Wikipedia, como Wikipedia en inglés, han establecido políticas para permitir el uso de imágenes protegidas y solo en circunstancias limitadas, pero el proyecto de Wikipedia en español no permite el uso así y las imágenes y medios necesitan pertenecer a Commons y así necesitan seguir la política de Commons. Le invito a consultar Commons:Sobre las licencias si necesite más información. Gracias por su colaboración y su interés en mejorando esos artículos, estoy seguro que habrá otras formas para ilustrar y complementar la información de este tema sin el uso del logo. seb26 (talk) 18:20, 11 July 2017 (UTC)
 Oppose de la solicitud, debido a la originalidad del logo en cuestión (COM:TOO) y a la falta de permiso adecuado para poder alojarlo acá en Commons. Saludos, seb26 (talk) 18:20, 11 July 2017 (UTC)

File:The Bulletin - quarterly magazine in Brussels.jpg

This file was deleted from Wikimedia Commons by user Hedwig in Washington on 10 July 2017 the grounds that "This is a copyrighted magazine cover and the summary claims the uploader owns the work at the same time that the author is the publication company and it is unlikely that the publication company would release the image". We are indeed the publisher of the magazine in question and created the image ourselves. We wish to share it on Wikimedia Commons and grant permission for it to be used - so that it can appear in our Wikipedia entry, which currently shows a very out of date magazine cover. How can we overturn the deletion, which we believe has been made in error? The Bulletin (Ackroyd Publications NV, Belgium) Brusselsedit (talk) 07:58, 11 July 2017 (UTC)

Brusselsedit, you need to send a permission email that explains you release it under a free license. Here unfortunately we can't verify who anyone says they are and we have a lot of copyright violations happen every day which is why it was deleted initially. To release the magazine cover freely, read Commons:OTRS for more information, then use the release generator or this template and fill in your name, then send it to <permissions-commons@wikimedia.org> from an email address associated with your organisation. What year is the publication from? Does it contain any copyrighted works (like the main photograph) that don't belong to your organisation explicitly? Please explain this in the email at the bottom after your license release. The OTRS agents will respond to you and arrange for the undeletion after that.

Hi Steve/Ansjr3, thanks for your message and for agreeing to make the cover available for Wikipedia. There are a couple of issues that need to be resolved first.

Please read the text at this template page, copy and paste it into an email, fill in your name, mention the filename File:Puffin Scan by Marion Owen.jpg and then send that as an email from an account at your organisation to <permissions-commons@wikimedia.org>.

Undeletion request of .jpg files

Hello sir,

I want to request the undeletion of the following files from Haatim Zakiyuddin page.

1. File:Alavi_bohras_Aqaa_Maulaa_Saiyedna_Haatim_Zakiyuddin_saheb_works_on_Q-A.jpg 2. 3. 4.

Thanking you. --NoorAlavi (talk) 04:14, 11 July 2017 (UTC)

NoorAlavi, can you explain your reason why? There was a discussion at Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by NoorAlavi and it said that the files were missing author/date/country information. Can you provide any more details about these works? seb26 (talk) 17:57, 11 July 2017 (UTC)

Hello sir, When I came to know about the files nominated for deletion, I immediately added the required information to all the files. But it was ultimately deleted. To inform you, author: Haatim Zakiyuddin, date: Between 2001 to 2002 AD, country: India, source: Alavi Library, Vadodara (Gujarat). Please do the needful if possible. --NoorAlavi (talk) 03:17, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

NoorAlavi, do you know if the photos were available specifically under a free license? If taken in 2001-2002 like you said, that is too recent, they would have to be protected by copyright and not appropriate for Commons. Even if they were displayed in a public library, it has to be assumed that the author maintained their copyright unless there is information available to the contrary. So the only way we could host them here is if the author permitted them to be available under a free license. Do you have any contact with them? Could you ask them for permission to release the photos under Creative Commons BY-SA-4.0? There is more information at en:Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. seb26 (talk) 14:42, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

Yes Sir, I work in the same premises where there is a library and the author himself is my elder brother. There is no question of getting permission, its easy. As he granted me rights to make the images public that were displayed on Haatim Zakiyuddin. On this page you will find the first photo where the person seated is Haatim Zakiyuddin and on his left I am standing while doing Chamar. I could request him to email granting me permission of the deleted .jpg files. Thanking you. --NoorAlavi (talk) 16:31, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

NoorAlavi, OK, great. What you can do is, you can ask Mr Zakiyuddin to send an email releasing the photographs that he took under a free license. Please note he can only release the ones that he physically took, i.e., held the camera and pressed the button. People do not hold the rights for a photo for simply appearing within the frame, it belongs to the person who activated the camera. If anyone else participated in taking the photos in question, then we will need the same email but from those people specifically, for the specific photos they took. I mention this because you said that Zakiyuddin appears seated in one of the photos, and from my understanding, he probably did not take that specific photo because he is in it. When you have found out who took which photo, you can send the email: please use the text on this template page, with the person filling in their own name, choosing CC-BY-SA-4.0 and then pasting the whole text into a direct email from their email account to <permissions-commons@wikimedia.org>. Then OTRS agents will respond eventually to that email and then arrange for the files to be undeleted. seb26 (talk) 16:38, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

File:Coat of arms of Cook Islands.svg

A russian-language DR is somewhat strange, anyway, Google Translater tells us that the reason was a the unclear copyright status. Anyway, that problem exists for dozens of national symbols, where we do not know if the governments claims a copyright not only on the official image, but also private renditions like this one. So, I request undeletion, in accordance with most other national coat of arms.--Antemister (talk) 08:16, 11 July 2017 (UTC)

 Oppose The source is civicheraldry who claims copyright on this particular rendition. Thuresson (talk) 09:13, 11 July 2017 (UTC)
Once again, many such CoA are drawn according to such sources, especially also civicheraldry.--Antemister (talk) 10:08, 11 July 2017 (UTC)
 Oppose In heraldry, only the blazon, i.e. the description of the arms is typically not copyrighted. However, unless the actual depiction of a coat of arms is old enough to be out of copyright or there are explicit exemptions in the country of origin, it is copyrighted to the individual artist. According to {{PD-Cook Islands}} there is no exeption of coats of arms in general, so we need to know the lifetime and origin of the artist who devised this specific rendition. De728631 (talk) 18:02, 11 July 2017 (UTC)
Again, that issue applies for many of the newer CoA in Asia and Africa. Some countries, mostly in Eastern Europe, declare that their state symbols are in der PD, many other regard official documents as PD and some few also claim a copyright on such publication. But generally, CoAs are kept here, although we cannot be sure about their exact copyright status in any countries. Most of our images here closely follow official renditions (what of course makes sense).--Antemister (talk) 08:25, 12 July 2017 (UTC)
COAs should only be kept when their copyright status is clear. In this case we don't know anything about the original creator of the actual depiction so the image cannot be restored. And "other stuff exists" is not a valid argument when it comes to deletion or undeletion discussions. We need to evaluate each such case on its own. De728631 (talk) 21:53, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

Samaraharis (talk) 22:12, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

Hi Samaraharis. There's a couple of issues here. Typically the original photographer is the only one who owns a photo, those who receive distributed copies digital or physical are typically not in the same legal position to be able to grant a free license (which is needed to be used on Commons). Then, the only other way that a photographer is not the owner is if they sign over rights to someone explicitly, in writing. If I understand this, this photo has passed through at least three owners. If you are confident you are the current legal rights owner and you can provide documentation to explain this, you can put your name on this template text, mention the name of the file, send it to <permissions-commons@wikimedia.org> and an OTRS agent will respond to your message. See Commons:OTRS for more information. Cheers, seb26 (talk) 22:37, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

File:WindowsDVDPlayer.svg

The file, File:WindowsDVDPlayer.svg, is a computer icon recreated SVG listed at en.wiki listed as File:DVD_Player_(Windows_10)_icon.png It is a file I created, but was deleted. The original en.wiki listing listed this as a Fair Use item, but I believe it was wrong. This icon should be listed under Category:Public_domain because it is made of simple geometric shapes and does not meet Threshold of Originality. Thus, it is not eligible for copyright. WikIan (talk) 03:37, 2 July 2017 (UTC)

  •  Oppose :This was deleted because it's available under fair use at en.wiki: w:File:DVD Player (Windows 10) icon.png. I chose not to restore this when asked because it doesn't make sense to have a file here labelled as being below TOO, and at the same time host that file under COM:FU at Wikipedia. If it's decided that this is below TOO, the version at Wikipedia should be deleted and replaced with the restored svg version here. Some cooperation between Commons and Wikipedia has to happen. This obviously can't be decided just at Commons. From my understanding, the file should be brought to FFD at Wikipedia, and restored here if the decision at Wikipedia is to delete. We can't just override their fair use. Daphne Lantier 05:00, 2 July 2017 (UTC)
    •  Disagree: For reasons that I stated above. It doesn't fall under copyright protection. Yes, we should remove duplicates, but there are precedents for that. Including deleting the files at en.wiki when moving to Commons. This includes moving files such as File:Microsoft_Surface_with_Touch_Cover_2.jpg from en.wiki to here. WikIan (talk) 08:51, 2 July 2017 (UTC)
      • You're not disagreeing with me. My point is only that we can't have the file under fair use at en.wiki and under a free license here at the same time. Daphne Lantier 16:27, 2 July 2017 (UTC)
      • Huh? You oppose the undelete and I disagree. WikIan (talk) 22:20, 2 July 2017 (UTC)
      • Actually, Codename Lisa over at en.wiki reverted changing the en.wiki to public domain because she believes the file over here got deleted because it is eligible for copyright. (I think) In any case, I think we need a third opinion. WikIan (talk) 22:21, 2 July 2017 (UTC)
  •  Oppose It shouldn't be a factor if there's a fair use copy at Wikipedia; we should do our own analysis de nove. However, I'm not convinced that it's quite simple enough; I think the DVD player is just above the line.--Prosfilaes (talk) 23:27, 4 July 2017 (UTC)
    •  Comment The WWFbalaobrasilia22032007.jpg is not protected under copyright, and yet it is more complex than this. This icon is literally a rounded square box (like many external DVD players are) with a play arrow. It is made up of geometric shapes and does not express enough creativity that it is protected under US copyright law, the home country of this logo. I mean just look at Roundel_of_the_Civil_Air_Patrol.svg, that's way more complex. WikIan (talk) 02:47, 6 July 2017 (UTC)
 Oppose You assert that File:WWFbalaobrasilia22032007.jpg "is not protected under copyright". That is incorrect. The photograph is under copyright, but is freely licensed. However, it infringes on the WWF copyright for its logo. File:Roundel_of_the_Civil_Air_Patrol.svg is not under copyright because it is a US Government insignia. Therefore, neither of those examples are on point. More generally, citing other cases here is problematic. We have many images -- probably several hundred thousand -- that are here, but should be deleted. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 19:15, 8 July 2017 (UTC)

File:ESO-Horsehead Nebula.jpg

This was deleted as an exact or scaled-down duplicate of File:Reproduction of a composite colour image of the Horsehead Nebula.jpg, but it wasn't. It was a crop of part of that larger image. It may have been redundant, and hence a candidate for a DR, but it shouldn't have been speedily deleted. --bjh21 (talk) 23:48, 14 July 2017 (UTC)

 Oppose The deleted cropped version is very much inferior to File:Reproduction of a composite colour image of the Horsehead Nebula.jpg, and has no real COM:EDUSE. You can argue semantics about whether it should've been deleted via DR or duplicate processing, but it doesn't change the fact that the crop I deleted has no value at all and even crops out part of the nebula, for what reason I could hardly guess.

Undeletion Request - File:Rebecca Mader May 2017.jpg & Deletion Request File:Rebecca Mader January 2015.jpg

Hello, can you please undelete the File:Rebecca Mader May 2017.jpg This is a free image, taken by me. I have the original uncropped image if you would like to see it, as well as multiple other photos I took of Rebecca Mader at the same time. Rebecca posted this current photo on her Instagram account @bexmader and gave me (Marc Kayne) photo credit, specifically to prove that this is my photo.

Additionally, I'd like to put in a request asking if you could please delete the following image from WikiCommons File:Rebecca Mader January 2015.jpg This is not a free image. This image has been cropped and the person who uploaded the this file to Flickr can not be the holder of the copyright as they are the person standing in the original photo with Rebecca Mader and therefore could not have taken the picture. I've provided the link to the original image from Flickr. You can see that Steve Cranston who uploaded the picture is the person standing next to Rebecca in the picture. https://www.flickr.com/photos/graffio_studios/16133460588/

Please let me know if you'd like to see any of the original unedited photo or any other unedited photos I took during the photoshoot where I took the following picture File:Rebecca Mader May 2017.jpg

Hi Planb88, thanks for your message. If you are the photographer who created File:Rebecca Mader May 2017.jpg, we will need you to send a free license release via email and not on this page. Please copy and paste this template text, fill in your name, attach that full resolution image you mentioned you have (ensure it has not been modified to remove EXIF data) and perhaps the others, and send it to <permissions-commons@wikimedia.org>. Please make sure you use an email address that is the most professionally associated with you (your domain name) or one that can be found publicly online associated with your online presence. OTRS agent should respond to the email and then at that time they will then request for the photo to be restored. We have this process because we need to be sure we are communicating with the correct person in order to respect copyright holders' rights. There is more information at Commons:OTRS. Thanks, seb26 (talk) 14:27, 13 July 2017 (UTC)

File:James Comey FBI Farewell Letter 5-10-17.pdf

I made File:James Comey FBI Farewell Letter 5-10-17.pdf based on the letter that was widely published by multiple news outlets. I did not download any file and upload it. I typed it out in a Word Doc, I made it a pdf, and then uploaded it. I understand it is not a public domain letter, but it is ostensibly a government/public letter. If you are going to say this is a copyright violation based on content copying then reproducing the entire work, like at Wikipedia's [Dismissal of James Comey] should also be considered a copyright violation. Please let me know whose copyright I violated by reproducing this letter. Best, Classicwiki (talk) (ping me please, I don't watch pages) 05:02, 14 July 2017 (UTC)

 Oppose Isn't this written by Comey after he was fired? If so, he's not a gov employee and the letter would be copyrighted by him. As regards Wikipedia, that would have to be handled there in whatever way they handle copyright violations. Daphne Lantier 05:28, 14 July 2017 (UTC)
 Oppose but request temporary undeletion so this can be uploaded to English Wikipedia as fair use. Guanaco (talk) 01:18, 16 July 2017 (UTC)
The file was copied from [14]. Regards, Yann (talk) 18:38, 16 July 2017 (UTC)
Why bother uploading for wikipedia? It's not even a copy of the original document, just a recreation of the text without any letterhead. About as valuable as just copying and pasting the text directly to the article inline. Morbidthoughts (talk) 19:05, 16 July 2017 (UTC)
Media sources are treating it as though it's the original document, which is plausible considering Comey wrote it as a newly unemployed, private citizen. In any case I've uploaded it at en:File:James Comey FBI Farewell Letter 5-10-17.pdf. If we need to, let's talk over at en:Talk:Dismissal of James Comey. Guanaco (talk) 19:22, 16 July 2017 (UTC)

File:James Mackay NZ Explorer.jpg

I responded when the notice came that the file was put up for deletion, but then heard nothing, so it wasn't exactly a debate, and my reasons for it not being deleted were ignored.

The photo was probably taken about 1890, and the owners of the photo have no problem with it being used. It isn't known who took the photo, but I don't believe there could be any copyright issues.

The photo comes from this link: https://natlib.govt.nz/records/22768745?search%5Bi%5D%5Bcategory%5D=Images&search%5Bpath%5D=items&search%5Btext%5D=james+mackay

File:Bernard Margueritte.jpg

Hello, the photograph of my father was deleted, I don't know why. Some users thought I didn't own the copyright to this photograph. I am the author of this photograph. It is featured on my personal website as you can see here: http://joanna.posthaven.com/my-parents

I am not very good at editing Wikipedia. I am just starting out. I cannot tell you how bad a message your behaviors send to prospective people who would like to edit, how high and prohibitive a barrier to entry you put on novice editors. I just want to be able to add this one photograph of an important public personality in Poland...

Deletion of clear PD-art images

No thumb
No thumb
@Daphne Lantier and Hystrix: Hopefully you pay at least a little attention to the matter of DR before deletion. These bogus watermarks have no effect on the status of images that definitely are in the public domain, see COM:PDART. All that needed to be done with these files was to crop the watermarks, wrapping the license tag with the {{PD-Art}}. P. S. Someone should check Commons Delinker's and local bots' logs to restore deleted links. Sealle (talk) 14:24, 15 July 2017 (UTC)
The watermark artvalue.com can not be cropt out. These images are not usable due to their low resolution and the watermark across the images. --jed (talk) 14:35, 15 July 2017 (UTC)
Jed, I'm sure these images are useful for an educational purpose, until we find ones without watermarks. Sealle (talk) 15:08, 15 July 2017 (UTC)

Yes, please. There are enough other examples: File:Acke-axel-johan-gustaf-jag-185-masflickan.jpg, File:Abbati-vincenzo-1803-1866-ital-interno-romantico.jpg, File:Abry-leon-eugene-auguste-1857-chevaliers.jpg… --jed (talk) 19:04, 15 July 2017 (UTC)

The picture I uploaded without copyright notice (File:Johann Axel Gustaf Acke - Porträtt Av Ellen och John Josephson , 1914.jpg). Unfortunately, it is just as small as the deleted (212 x 300). Hystrix (talk) 15:54, 15 July 2017 (UTC)

File:Idia-idia.jpg

The nominator's reason for deletion is not clear, it was simply because the file has no "Metadata", the best thing he could have done since the file meets 75% of Wikimedia Common standards for uploads, was for him/her to add the metadata, because the upload(er) might not know how to use the metadata functionality.

However, the photo was attached to an article Idia Aisien which happens to be the person on the photo and it is a free photo licensed under Creative Commons.

Please, i would appreciate if this file can be undelete(d).

The following files were deleted due to copyright even though no copyright was infringed upon:

As I explained on each image, they are my own work, based on a free relief map -"MFF-maps are released under Creative Commons CC0. You are free to adapt and use the relief maps and relief layer for commercial purposes without attributing the original author or source.

Ping @Daphne Lantier: . Thuresson (talk) 11:15, 6 July 2017 (UTC)

Hmm. There is a problem here, but one that can be fixed. https://maps-for-free.com/ has incorrect licensing. There is a clear OpenStreetMap copyright notice in the lower right corner of its home page. Since OSM is licensed CC-BY-SA 2.0, maps-for-free cannot license its derivative work as CC-0 and your derivative works must be licensed CC-BY-SA 2.0 also.

Oh, so the licensing on the website info panel is incorrect.. I've tried looking up the diferences between CC BY-SA 2.0 and 4.0 but I'm not sure what was changed? Do I lose any "rights" per se? If not what would I have to do to change the license and credit OSM? Diogo AArq (talk) 12:14, 6 July 2017 (UTC)

The differences are subtle, and most of us can simply ignore them. The credit for OSM is required, however. If you agree to it here, the Admin who restores the files can change the license and add the credit. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 18:37, 6 July 2017 (UTC)

Alright then, I'm all up for changing the license to CC BY-SA 2.0 and crediting OSM. I was trying to publish a Wikipedia page with those maps, I hope it doesn't cause any more problems Diogo AArq (talk) 19:25, 6 July 2017 (UTC)

Hi, this file was marked as copyright violation, I took this picture with own camera and granted to others who wanted it. Thus I am not violating any copyrights there.

I would appreciate if the file could be restore on wikimedia commons and would really appreciate if you could please provide more time before deleting the files as I responded to the message left by LX user about this file and then the file was deleted immediately. I think that would be fair to provide 24 hours to wait for a respond.

Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lorenru (talk • contribs) 17:47, 17 July 2017 (UTC)

If you created the photo yourself, why does it have such low resolution, why doesn't it have any camera metadata, why can it be found elsewhere on the Internet in higher resolution, and how could it have been published elsewhere before the date on which you supposedly created it? Please explain. —LX (talk, contribs) 09:31, 18 July 2017 (UTC)
Also, while you're answering those questions: why are you trying to hide notices about other uploads that you have deleted, and why are some of the signs on File:Mexico Real Cafe location in Brighton, United Kingdom.jpg (which is also missing metadata) blurred out in the way that Google Streetview usually blurs out signs? —LX (talk, contribs) 19:17, 18 July 2017 (UTC)

I am not an expert on filing out the correct rationale, and have attempted to make corrections based on community feedback. While the correct file designation may not have been assigned, it is clearly not an image that has been ignored. Deleting the file, which is clearly related to the subject of the article, is arbitrary and capricious.

This logo is very simple and not above COM:TOO: It consists of straight lines, quadrants and letters. The argument raised under Commons:Deletion requests/File:Saluc logo.svg “equivalent at English Wikipedia under non-free fair use” is nonsense. Many users just upload logos with the non-free fair use template as a default, because it is safe to do so. There is surely no expert judgment behind. --Leyo 16:31, 19 July 2017 (UTC)

File:ArthurGrimsdell.jpg

I'm not the original uploader of this file File:ArthurGrimsdell.jpg, but I'm interested in having the file undeleted. The reason being that the image was previously published on 25 April 1921 in a British newspaper Leeds Mercury with no author attributed. The scanned page of the newspaper can be seen here - [15] (registration is required to view the page, although you can see a thumbnail image of the page here (third down) without registration), the relevant image is at the bottom right corner of the newspaper page. The photographer appears to be unknown from a search of the web and books (e.g. in this book, [16], it gives the names of photographers for images when they are known, but gives the photographer of this image as "not known"). As such, it may qualify as public domain under {{PD-UK-unknown}} and {{PD-1923}}. Gettyimages has claimed copyright on this image [17] and credited the image to Topical Press Agency and an unnamed photographer (referred to by the generic term "stringer"), although it would seem that the copyright might have already expired. Hzh (talk) 18:18, 17 July 2017 (UTC)

GettyImages may then be perpetrating copyfraud.   — Jeff G. ツ 14:30, 18 July 2017 (UTC)
 Support I think there is little doubt that {{PD-1923}} should apply. For {{PD-UK-unknown}}, both age and publication date are easily old enough. IMO, reasonable enquiry has been made with no success in finding the photographer. The rights holder of the Topical Press Agency estate, Getty Images, should be the best source on the author, and even they only know that it was an external photographer. Them claiming copyright is simply their modus operandi and does not change the reality that copyright on this photograph most likely has expired. --rimshottalk 22:15, 18 July 2017 (UTC)
 Support "reasonable enquiry" only needed to be done 70 years after publication anyways -- so the photographer would have had to become known before 1992 for it to have a 70pma term. Once it becomes PD after the 70 years from publication, naming the photographer has no further effect. And the primary entity which should know (Getty, which acquired the Topical Press Agency via intermediate purchasers I think) does not identify a name. Getty's only argument would be if a "digitization" copyright exists (extremely doubtful), or maybe a claim that the 1921 publication didn't have quite as much detail as this one. But, if those parts still counted as unpublished in 1992, then the term would be 70 years from creation and would expire anyways. Carl Lindberg (talk) 16:27, 19 July 2017 (UTC)

  • Pinging @Ronhjones: : Ron, just wanted to ask if you had seen the comments here before undeleting the file. I'd appreciate your input on the ticket (and the OTRS wiki page about it). Cheers, seb26 (talk) 03:20, 14 July 2017 (UTC)
  • Ronhjones: no, it is indeed not a copyvio of that site, it's a reupload of content that was deleted because the license couldn't be confirmed. This goes back further than 9 July 2017. Its presence on that website means less in the context of the ticket. The OTRS wiki page explains the claims and the background information, I need to try to avoid explaining here because of OTRS privacy rules. seb26 (talk) 19:57, 14 July 2017 (UTC)
  • Yes, they have been spread out over Commons and some directly on en.wiki as well. I tried to collate it as accurately as I could on the OTRS wiki page linked above. The response from OTRS to the claimant(s) was clear: that we can't accept these photos because of the amount of doubt associated with the ownership claims, and the lack of evidence provided to quell the doubts. If there's any change to that as a decision, it should come as a result of an agent discussion in my opinion. seb26 (talk) 00:56, 15 July 2017 (UTC)

Request from LaSerr

To whom it may concern,

I recently received a notice stating that the three images I uploaded yesterday have been deleted due to copyright reasons. Understanding the issue, I requested permission to reuse said figures from the Nature Publishing group and obtained it. Apparently, licences from scientific journals in general permit non-profit academic reuse of paper figures. Thus, I should like to request that the figures I uploaded be undeleted please. They were part of a class project that we had to upload to the web.

Warm wishes, --LaSerr (talk) 10:48, 13 July 2017 (UTC)LaSerr

LaSerr, I'm not sure that kind of permission would be acceptable for Commons. We accept free licenses that allow commercial use and allow use for any purpose (including non-educational/non-academic). This sounds like the license of these images is a little too restrictive for this project. I searched various places on http://nature.com for references to permitted reproductions but could not find anything, if you have any links (don't post the email though for privacy reasons) I'd be interested to take a look at them. seb26 (talk) 12:54, 13 July 2017 (UTC)
 Oppose see http://www.springernature.com/gp/librarians/legal/general-terms-of-use/11033520. It is clear that the site's terms are far too restrictive for Commons. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 11:31, 21 July 2017 (UTC)

Hi Russellpg, someone authorised from the company will need to see the license release template here, fill in their name, make reference to the file and that web page, and email it to <permissions-commons@wikimedia.org>. Then the permissions team will respond to you and arrange for the file to be undeleted.

First of all, this noticeboard is for requesting the undeletion of files that have already been deleted. It is not meant to provide arguments where files have been tagged for missing permission. As to this particular file, to determine the proper copyright status we need to know the author of the script and where it was first published. Since it is a faithful two-dimensional copy of the original text, you will not get any copyright in this reproduction yourself but it has to be treated like the original version. In the description in Arabic you mentioned the year 1346. Is this 1346 in the Islamic calendar (e.g. 1925 A. D.)? De728631 (talk) 21:49, 22 July 2017 (UTC)

File:BuggedPlanet Logo.png

It already has been restored once. The source page says Content is available under Public Domain unless otherwise noted. at the bottom with nothing else noted for the image. The logo uses File:Earth Western Hemisphere transparent background.png which is public domain too. No reason to delete. Also: does the copyright-warning persist even when it's restored? --Fixuture (talk) 14:15, 17 July 2017 (UTC)

Looking at the file's log, it looks like Storkk never actually undeleted the file, despite closing the discussion that way. —LX (talk, contribs) 16:14, 17 July 2017 (UTC)
I think this interpretation is correct. I was going to rectify my error, but I'm no longer really sure that the license disclaimer at the bottom applies, since I'm not sure that the website's logo forms part of its "content". The distinction is similar to some open source software's icons and name being licensed differently to the code. I'm unsure about this one, and especially don't like the lack of definite attribution to someone (it was credited as "Andy Müller-Maguhn (probably)" in the last edit before being tagged as a copyvio). Storkk (talk) 20:33, 17 July 2017 (UTC)
@Fixuture: you may remove the warning once you've read it. In general, personal messages or those to which you might be expected to reply shouldn't just be removed, but our guidelines don't forbid or frown upon removing templated messages from your own talk page. If you do, you're assumed to have read and understood them. Storkk (talk) 20:36, 17 July 2017 (UTC)

 Support Since the home page has a CC-0 logo in the lower left corner with no exception for the logo in the upper left corner. I think we are safe to assume that the whole page, including the logo, is CC-0.

As for removing the {{Copyvionote}} from the talk page, while I don't think we have a formal policy against it, I certainly believe that it is best that talk pages be left intact as a complete transparent record of an editor's experience here. They can and should be archived, but nothing should be removed, even in cases like this where the notice turned out to be incorrect. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jameslwoodward (talk • contribs) 15:10 22 jul 2017 (UTC)

Hmm. https://pds.blog.parliament.uk/2017/07/21/mp-official-portraits-open-source-images shows eight Chris McAndrew images as NC, not including this one. It also puts the Open Parliament License (similar to CC-BY) on everything on the site "unless otherwise specified". This image appears at http://www.mcandrewphoto.co.uk/photo-shoots/mp-portraits-project/ with a license that does not meet Commons needs, see http://www.mcandrewphoto.co.uk/terms-and-conditions/. I think we must assume that this image, with the other Chris McAndrew MP portraits is NC and cannot be kept here. If it appears on Flickr, we still must honor the more restrictive conditions on the McAndrew site.  Oppose .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 10:16, 24 July 2017 (UTC)
If they appear on Flickr under a free license, that license would be valid. The McAndrew site would not override that, if done with permission (which it would have to be). But we can't use them until they actually appear under such a license. Carl Lindberg (talk) 12:39, 24 July 2017 (UTC)

I have made a cat, Category:Macarena Castro (indeed I re-opened a deleted cat) of the files related to Macarena Castro. Looking into the net, I get the impression that the artist exists and may well be notable. Or is everything a hoax? Nota: No se preocupe, senora, si hay algo bueno sobre Commons es que aqui todo se arregla, tarde o temprano. --E4024 (talk) 07:49, 24 July 2017 (UTC)
 Oppose First, if, in fact, User:Macarena castro sopran is a notable soprano, then policy requires that that must be confirmed by a message to OTRS, see Commons:Username_policy#Usernames_requiring_identification.
Second, I find little on Google to support the assertion that this is a notable person. There are no WP articles. The biography at http://www.alternativateatral.com/persona20069-macarena-castro describes a young singer with limited experience that is not notable in the sense required here.
Third, if the user is the singer, then it is unlikely that she is also the photographer and therefore the copyright is held by the actual photographer, not the subject. Confirmation of the free license must come via OTRS.
Last, File:My cover for the sopran Macarena Castro.jpg was apparently uploaded by a sockpuppet and is apparently a hoax, see Commons:Deletion requests/File:My cover for the sopran Macarena Castro.jpg. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 09:58, 24 July 2017 (UTC)

These are all works done by our organisation's (madhesh.com, ckraut.com) cameraman and owned by us. Obviously, we distribute them in official press-release and then other newspapers and websites use them.

Mleadtrain, we are a site that hosts copyright free or freely licensed images. These images appeared on other websites without any indication that they were freely licensed.

We have full permission from the man who took the photo, so I have no clue why it was taken down.

It says, "Any use of this photo permitted under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0," which, from what I understand, is an acceptable license for Wikipedia. This license allows for altering, which was done by cropping out the watermark.

The image has been active on the internet for about four years on one of our JAGRAFX blogs and has been copied elsewhere: http://artjagrafx.blogspot.com/ I have been trying to upload this image for a week now and it seems to be bombing out for reason of copyright violation even though i am the originator of the document and graphic. Please note that all images on the web bear our mark “JAGRAF/X” in the lower left. Actual artwork was generated on this platform back in 2013. Please let me know when it is safe to upload the hotel del charro image without it being deleted once again.

If WikiMedia is going to operate in such a way, and going to delete images in such a childish manner, then it should better not call itself a Public Enclopedia, better own it by a few guys who can do whatever they may like.

All the images I uploaded to WikiMedia have copyrights with me (Our official pages are http://madhesh.com, http://ckraut.com). We do issue press-releases with images, after which those images may appear in other online newspapers.

Parks in France

Hi, I think these 2 files were deleted by error. There is no proeminent copyrightable element in them:

Regards, Yann (talk) 10:02, 20 June 2017 (UTC)

  •  Oppose In the first, there are two topiary swans in the immediate foreground. The fact that they are plants, rather than bronze or marble, does not somehow take away their copyright. The second shows a lot of topiary, and also the layout of a maze. If the maze were on paper it would clearly have a copyright. I don't see any reason why this one does not. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 13:36, 20 June 2017 (UTC)
    • It is not because something on paper has a copyright, that a garden that looks the same has also a copyright. A recent map of any place has a copyright, but the place doesn't automatically get a copyright. I don't see any provision for copyright in French law for this. Regards, Yann (talk) 17:21, 20 June 2017 (UTC)
Hmm. I think your map analogy fails because the direction of creativity is reversed. A map is created from reality on the ground. The reality on the ground is not, of course, a created work, and does not have a copyright. A topiary maze is created from a drawing which has a copyright. In the technical sense of the word "map", the copyrighted drawing of the maze is mapped onto the ground. The topiary maze is a DW of the copyrighted drawing. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 18:14, 20 June 2017 (UTC)
  •  Comment while there is a high ToO, or at least it exist undoubtedly, regarding architecture in France (mainly due to the utilitarian side of the buidings), the ToO regarding the other artistic works, whose aim is artistic, is very very very low in France, e.g. this photo have been considered by a court as a DW of the yellow letters (an artistic work!) above the door! Therefore  Oppose as per Jim. Christian Ferrer (talk) 18:31, 20 June 2017 (UTC)
  •  Support Both are de minimis imho. The swan is not the main element of the photo, while the maze is a panoramic view of it, and of the people in it. --Ruthven (msg) 08:38, 29 June 2017 (UTC)
  •  Support Per above --/St1995 23:10, 29 June 2017 (UTC)

The test of de minimis is whether an average observer would notice if the object were removed from the image. That test is clearly not met in the case of the swan. As for the other, the fact that the walls in the maze are living rather than lines on a printed page does not change the fact that the maze is copyrighted. It is, as you say, a panoramic view of the maze. The fact that is a panoramic view makes it more problematic, not less so. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 15:13, 1 July 2017 (UTC)

 Oppose per Jim. Topiary is clearly copyrightable art. Taivo (talk) 06:54, 27 July 2017 (UTC)

Category:Volkswagen Golf VII facelift and Category:Category:Jaguar at the Emirates Airline Invitational at Yas Links, Abu Dhabi - Febuary 2011

My categories were probably speedy deleted because some user, possibly User: ‎AutomobilePassion emptied them and filed a SD request. Category:Volkswagen Golf VII facelift is for Volkswagen Golf that underwent a facelift with major design changes in 2016/2017. Category:Category:Jaguar at the Emirates Airline Invitational at Yas Links, Abu Dhabi - Febuary 2011 is for files that were from a flickr album that got transfered to the commons . I created this category because I wasn't be able to find better categories for them and the only thing that connected them was the flickr album, some of that files that are possibly uncategorised now. In the Category:Jaguar vehicles, where the second category was a subcategory, are multiple categories of events with Jaguar automobiles.--Steinfeld-feld (talk) 21:07, 22 July 2017 (UTC)

Actually not relevant anymore since I've got more precise named categories to substitute the deleted ones now.

File:1969HansenBedclothes.pdf

Contains a single page-spread used as a helpful graphic for educational purposes only. Markups are my own.

Seems from an educational perspective, we'd be tying our own hands not allowing such a thing. By comparison, Amazon and Google display many, many pages of copyrighted books in the marketplace.

I could do without, or quote at some length, but the graphic seems best way to convey the information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lewismr (talk • contribs) 21:38, 29 July 2017 (UTC)

Lewismr, we don't and can't collect copyrighted material and have no leeway for fair use such as for educational uses. This is an international project and not all countries have fair use laws. There's an explanation at Commons:Fair use. You could, however, look at using an excerpt from that document under en.wiki's fair use conditions, see en:WP:FU. seb26 (talk) 00:14, 30 July 2017 (UTC)

File:Donald Trump Official Portrait.jpg

There is no valid reason for the deletion of the image I uploaded and requested be added to the Donald Trump article. The attribution shows who the author is AND there are NO copyright issues per the White House AKA US GOVERNMENT >>>> https://www.whitehouse.gov/copyright. This is simply an abuse of power or is a big mistake as there are no issues with Trump's Portrait.

The file as an Atribution, Copyright and Mostly Author (Cleaner880 (talk) 13:00, 29 July 2017 (UTC))

This was deleted because of Commons:Deletion requests/File:LagunaCopperplateLucbanHHCS.jpg. Cleaner880, who is the author? Is it you? If it is not, it's not likely it would be appropriate to release it under a free license. Please provide more information. seb26 (talk) 13:21, 29 July 2017 (UTC)

File:Trépied en bronze.png

This file was an illustrator reelaboration of an existing picture. It is not a copyright violation, but my work. — Preceding unsigned comment added by C.Salviani (talk • contribs) 18:57, 29 July 2017 (UTC)

 Oppose The file format is irrelevant. The original image [21] appears to be copyrighted and non-free. So you cannot republish it without permission from the original photographer. De728631 (talk) 20:39, 29 July 2017 (UTC)
