Category:Vladyslav Voloshyn

The category was deleted after the only file it had to date was deleted. The reasons why that file was deleted and its copyright status yet to be clarified since its the part of Ukrainian government exhibition campaign (http://www.president.gov.ua/news/vistavki-16-i-proekciya-prikrasili-zali-ochikuvan-aeroportu-37251).

Vladyslav Voloshyn is a Ukrainian war veteran, one of 16 the exhibition was tributed to. Articles about him:

I've added some files to category already:

The category was already linked to CommonsCategory, Wikidata and had other proper setups by several users. That's why I'm asking to restore it instead of creating a new one. --VoidWanderer (talk) 16:50, 31 March 2018 (UTC)

 Oppose as:
  1. The logo was unused in other Wikimedia projects so it is likely out of scope
  2. Usable logos are always used in external sources, so we cannot rely on the uploader's license declaration and either a free license evidence from the original site or a COM:OTRS permission from the actual copyright owner is necessary.

File:Andijan bobur square 200508.JPG

Historically significant location, the monument can easily be cropped out, blurred, etc... The monument is not the main focus, and other parts of image still valuable usable.--PlanespotterA320 (talk) 04:19, 2 April 2018 (UTC)

If you KNEW about the location, it was the scene of the 2005 Andijan Unrest. The monument itself is not important to the event at all, it's the street that matters. The deletion request only said somthing about FOP, and that issue can be fixed with image editing or a crop.--PlanespotterA320 (talk) 19:47, 2 April 2018 (UTC)

Files deleted with OTRS pending

Hello, I had not been informed by the charming admin that my pictures were in deletion request, and they were deleted before I knew. The OTRS are coming, may you please restore them ? They are important for many Wikipedia articles. Thanks and best regards, FredD (talk) 13:47, 2 April 2018 (UTC)

 Oppose The images will be restored after the OTRS permissions are processed and accepted by an OTRS agent. Ankry (talk) 18:24, 2 April 2018 (UTC)
How will he know ? The OTRS will go each time for a bulk of picture (>100 for some contributors), so each picture will not be named independently... FredD (talk) 18:38, 2 April 2018 (UTC)
A valid OTRS permission requires that pictures it applies to are specified. If not, the permission sender will be asked for this. Ankry (talk) 18:53, 2 April 2018 (UTC)
It is impossible to enumerate one by one thousands of pictures in one e-mail : this is why I created these categories, so the photographers give their permission for all the pictures uploaded by myself in this category. For example, OTRS ticket #2018040310004093 just arrived for Blogie Robillo (other e-mails have been sent as well). Can you please proceed to the resurrection of his pictures and clean-up of the other files ? Thank you. FredD (talk) 11:01, 3 April 2018 (UTC)
They must be described in a way that allows their identification any time in the future. It cannot be bases on categorization as the categorization is subject to change and we have no information about category content in the past. If the permission sender does not list the files in some way, somebody else will have to do this. I see no other way. They must be checked one-by-one. Ankry (talk) 12:05, 3 April 2018 (UTC)

File:RKC Live Koko 2018.jpg

This picture has been deleted incorrectly and without substantive reason. I have also asked for, but not been provided, a detailed explanation as to why it was deleted.

I own this picture and the artist, Rachel K Collier, is currently using it on all of her social media sites, as well as sending it out for use in current blogs, shows and other articles.

The general reason given for the deletion is that it appears in this post: https://twitter.com/BeatsByGirlz/status/975756995473977344

However, this is simply one of a number of third parties to whom the image has been sent for use; they did not take the picture and they do not own it -they asked for an image to use, and Rachel provided this one to them.

For context, here are a number of other sites that are using the image:-

http://www.focuswales.com/music_cym/rachel-k-collier/ https://www.facebook.com/RachelKCollierOfficial/ https://twitter.com/rachelkcollier https://www.instagram.com/rachelkcollier/ https://www.instagram.com/p/Bg3cICsBsmh/?taken-by=rachelkcollier https://www.facebook.com/RachelKCollierOfficial/photos/a.10151857256256406.1073741827.268490061405/10155249565756406/?type=3&theater

This image is for public domain usage as the most current image of Rachel K Collier. Please therefore undelete this image as soon as possible.

Picture is credited Phoebe Maria Montague-Warr. --Patrick Rogel (talk) 22:29, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
  •  Oppose We need permission from photographer Phoebe Maria Montague-Warr via OTRS.   — Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me 14:55, 29 March 2018 (UTC)
  •  Oppose When the uploader is the photographer, we Assume Good Faith and accept his or her word that the image is his or hers and is freely licensed. However, there are many vandals and fans here who take an image from one place and post it here as there own work, so when an image has appeared elsewhere, we require that the actual copyright holder, usually the photographer, must send a free license using OTRS.
Since, in this case, you have already incorrectly claimed in the file description that you were the photographer, either the actual photographer must send the free license or, if you send the free license, it must be accompanied by evidence that you have a formal, written license from the photographer which gives you the right to freely license the image. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 15:59, 29 March 2018 (UTC)

Hi Jim -I have not ever intentionally claimed I am the photographer!! -I am not the photographer -but am the owner of the image, which is what I agreed to on uploading -the photographer, Phoebe, was commissioned to take photographs and then licensed the rights in those photos. This is all getting rather complicated and I'm not keen on emailing people I dont know private contractual arrangements so I'll just ask Phoebe to upload the photo instead. Though she's travelling abroad so that will be fun to try and work out....

Is there an email address that Phoebe can email to confirm, rather than having to create a wikimedia account?

Please advise.

thanks,

Tigerpunsh (talk) 17:38, 29 March 2018 (UTC)

First, the image description contains:

|source=Own work
|author=Tigerpunsh.

What did you think that claiming that you were the author meant if it doesn't mean you are the photographer?

Second, the reason that OTRS is linked above is that that page contains complete instructions for the person sending the license.

Third, the OTRS volunteers, unlike those on other WMF projects, are not anonymous -- before becoming an OTRS volunteer, they must prove their identity to the WMF and agree that they will not disclose any private information they learn through their work there. As far as I know, none of them has ever done so. However, if you are more comfortable having the photographer send the license, please use that route. She can, of course, do that from anywhere she has internet access. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 18:16, 29 March 2018 (UTC)

Hi Jim

First: I just went through the process of uploading a test image for an image I own using 'upload file' on the left of the wikimedia page. When declaring that I own the image, I am required to agree as follows:-

"I, , the copyright holder of this work, irrevocably grant anyone the right to use this work under the Creative Commons Attribution ShareAlike 4.0 license (legal code)."

I am the copyright holder, so it is correct for me to agree to this. Unless I have missed something, there is no point that I have been asked to specify that I am the author? If there is, please advise. This is the first time I have uploaded an image using wikimedia, and have not knowingly referenced myself as the author when upoading the image in question.

Second: ok great, I've now read through that page.

Third: Fine, though I would prefer the photogragher to email directly.

Thanks,

Tigerpunsh (talk) 19:53, 29 March 2018 (UTC)

Please restore the following pages:

Reason: A valid OTRS permission has been provided – ticket:2017121210005481.

As an OTRS agent (verify), I will investigate the undeleted media and make sure that the permission is sufficient to keep it (rights on media work + depicted work, FOP, copyright owner, country specific restrictions, etc.).

File:Rama and Sita Love.png

I never wanted to hurt the sentiments of anyone and when I uploaded it on commons through commons app on android phone the app didn't ask for any source and so unlike on the commons upload wizard on webpage(using chrome) i had no option to mention the author and the source .Further more when i checked on web through my browser i found that it automatically perceived that i had created the image. Ihad no such intentions.Sorry if knowingly or unknowingly i violated the rules but since it was available on internet and on pinterest and freely accessible i think there should not be any copyright problem.Moreover there are many people who are freely using these pics on their blogs — Preceding unsigned comment added by King Rishab Dugar (talk • contribs) 13:32, 5 April 2018 (UTC)

Alamy files

Should be at https://www.instagram.com/tniudara/ but would be a lot easier to find with a date. This is a Paul Fearn image.

 Oppose (400 × 265) This image, sourced to Commons here. Bigger version available at [1] ([2]). We need the original from a reliable source, not a blog. Yann (talk) 11:27, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
@Yann: I found the original: https://www.facebook.com/100383396678693/photos/a.120816361302063.18820.100383396678693/120823221301377/ {{PD-IDGov}}.
@LX: Unsurprisingly, Paul Fearn (the mass Commons uploader with 2 million+ uploads on Alamy) had nothing to do with it. - Alexis Jazz 16:28, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
Alexis Jazz: The original of a 1942×1287 pixel photo supposedly from Instagram is a 638×398 pixel photo from Facebook? I'm not sure how that works. I'll also note that the Facebook account is uploading photos that it obviously doesn't have the rights to. For example, this photo has a watermark showing it was grabbed from Indoflyer.net.
As you can see in the deletion discussion, I looked up the name, and it came back as an aviation photographer, http://pjfaviationphotography.com/, who I believe is also the same as this Flickr user. I guess that's either just a coincidence, or the Alamy uploader is deliberately using this person's name. But while it looks like the Alamy link was admittedly a red herring, the real reason for deletion was lack of verifiable evidence to support the claim that this is a public domain work of the Indonesian government, and that hasn't changed. —LX (talk, contribs) 16:53, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
Yes, I agree a bit with that. It is probably from the Indonesian government (taken from another plane), but Facebook is a really poor source to show that. Regards, Yann (talk) 17:24, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
@Yann: The Facebook government account is the source, for everything. The blogs, our image, the Alamy image. They all come from Facebook. More accurately, the FB image has more detail than the Alamy image. Because, you guessed it, Alamy copied our 400x265 image and scaled it up. We have established that the mention "Paul Fearn" on Alamy (with his 2M+ uploads) means nothing. That FB government account may have some possible civilian images on it, but those are taken from the ground. As the photo in question was obviously not taken from the ground, there is no plausible scenario in which this isn't {{PD-IDGov}}.
If this is not enough, I will leave it. Facebook is the source and there is nothing more to look into. - Alexis Jazz 18:36, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
@LX: It has changed. Your first concern: the "1942x1287" pixel photo on Alamy of which you don't understand how a 600-ish social media photo can be the source. I assume you are familiar with w:en:Image scaling? That's right, I'm saying Alamy pulled all those extra pixels out of their ass. In fact, I'm saying they did it on purpose! And I have proof for those claims. For starters, go to https://www.alamy.com/stock-photo-hawk-mk-53-tni-au-163993831.html and click it. Kind of disappointing, isn't it? Not really proof though.
[3] is specifically the User:WikiPedant revision of File:Lynda Carter Wonder Woman.JPG. But that is only 848x1263 pixels, while Alamy sells 1295x1929 pixels! Witchcraft I tell you! [4] (1825x1369) shows us File:Steak bj.jpg. (800x600) File:Tolne Kirke.jpg went from 1600x1200 to 1825x1369. On the other hand, File:1988 Piccadilly Circus 2 of 2.jpg was scaled down from 5040x3372 to 1933x1293. - Alexis Jazz 18:36, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
Nothing's changed really. I'm not willing to consider a Facebook account with low-resolution photos with watermarks from other sites as a reliable source. Show me something with higher resolution, metadata, or something that names a specific photographer and I'll change my opinion. —LX (talk, contribs) 20:22, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
No such thing on the internet. And what exactly would a higher resolution prove? I think the angle tells the story. It's not plausible for the photo not to have been taken by a government employee. We blindly accept any "own work" claims from new users just as long as Google Images can't find the photo in question. But when we have a photo for which we know the online origin and have found that there is no plausible scenario in which it wasn't created by the government, suddenly we get paranoid. - Alexis Jazz 21:00, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
We have plenty of properly sourced photos from government sources, so there clearly is such a thing. On the other hand, I've seen plenty of photos like this sourced from aircraft manufacturers or professional photographers. And no, we don't blindly accept "own work" claims. Low-resolution photos without metadata with dubious own work claims get deleted all the time, whatever that has to do with anything. —LX (talk, contribs) 21:59, 1 April 2018 (UTC)

What is the date? Alamy says 2010, filename says 2005, is this the same image? (admin please confirm which image this is)

 Oppose Our image comes from [5] ([6]), small file without EXIF data, and no license at source anyway. Yann (talk) 11:14, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
Thanks. The Alamy link Ytoyoda gave was incorrect, should have been https://www.alamy.com/stock-photo-dpa-the-band-member-of-depeche-mode-david-gahan-martin-gore-and-andrew-53873510.html. - Alexis Jazz 16:28, 1 April 2018 (UTC)

Dead link, please confirm what image this is.

 Oppose 275 × 229 (29,344 bytes), uploaded on Commons on 20 February 2016. Yann (talk) 11:21, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
Okay, no need to undelete that. - Alexis Jazz 16:28, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
Now I get it. This is a poster for that movie: http://www.doctormacro.com/Images/Posters/M/Poster%20-%20Miracle%20on%2034th%20Street_01.jpg and it has a copyright notice. The image we are talkin about though (https://www.alamy.com/stock-photo-movie-poster-miracle-on-34th-street-1947-78307945.html) if a 65th anniversary poster. 1947+65=2012. - Alexis Jazz 16:28, 1 April 2018 (UTC)

Possibly {{PD-US-no notice}}. Do the file pages give any hints? - Alexis Jazz 10:07, 1 April 2018 (UTC)

    • Actually there are 2 images here. The old one is [7] from another (dead) source. Here, it says "Portrait by George Hurrell".
    • The new one is a small version of [8], credited to "Hulton Archive/Getty". Yann (talk) 13:07, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
@Yann: Okay. This seems complicated. As we have enough pictures of Bette Davis, let's not undelete it. - Alexis Jazz 16:28, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
Actually, this is a very nice image, HR and good quality, much better than what we seem to have now (not sure with the stupid idea to spread the images by year, we can't compare). Yann (talk) 17:24, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
@Yann: I had searched eBay to see if I could find something that would show the (lack of) a copyright notice. It would not be unusual for such a promotional photograph to have no notice. But I didn't find anything. If anyone else wants to spend some more time searching: be my guest. - Alexis Jazz 18:36, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
Does seem likely PD, but can find no proof -- Everett Collection has it once and twice, Getty Images also has it once and twice (with different source collections), and the latter says it is a "promotional studio portrait" from 1950 and the All About Eve film. Alamy has a copy as well. I have seen other publicity shots from that film which definitely had a 1950 20th Century Fox copyright notice; PD-US-not_renewed is probably more likely but would need some research. Carl Lindberg (talk) 14:29, 3 April 2018 (UTC)

Comment from User:Ghouston: "uploaded to Alamy by CPC Collection, who seems to be one of the PD photo re-publishers." - Alexis Jazz 10:44, 1 April 2018 (UTC)

OK - Alexis Jazz 16:28, 1 April 2018 (UTC)

 Oppose The photographer of the subject images is claimed to be User:WadeKapszukiewicz. A person by that name is also the subject of the image. Unless there are actually two people (father and son, maybe), it seems that the uploader has made an incorrect claim. Such claims are, at best, a nuisance, and, at worst, grounds for being blocked from editing here.

In order for these and other images that appear on the web site to be restored, one of three things must happen. (A) the actual photographer must send a free license using OTRS, (b) another person must send a free license together with evidence that he has a formal written license or transfer of the copyright from the photographer allowing him to freely license the image, or (c) the web site must be changed to include a CC-0, CC-BY, or CC-BY-SA license for the images. In the case of (a) and (b), the OTRS message will have to wait its turn in the queue, which is currently around 50 days. In the case of (c), the images can be restored immediately after the site is changed and that is noted here. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 16:52, 3 April 2018 (UTC)

File:Luzu Temple (20th century).jpg

Hello,

I uploaded this file twice. The first time I did not know any information relating to the copyright, and it was deleted. I then received an e-mail from the person who uploaded it to internet, confirming what I thought : " It’s been a while since I did that story, but I believe it is in the public domain. Photographer also unknown, if I’m not mistaken. " I therefore reuploaded the file under public domain, but it was deleted again and I received a warning. However, I am sure the picture is of public domain. The physical photo is kept in the Tianjin Museum. For these reasons, I think the file should be undeleted --Vloizeau (talk) 10:56, 5 April 2018 (UTC)

Hello, anyone is always delting this image. The reason is that this had no license. But I talked with the creator of this image and he told me that this is free to use. And the website of this festival also says that this is free to use. You can read it here: https://www.strabi.de/presse/ It says in german: "Hier können Sie ein gesamtes Pressepaket mit Fotos, Mediadaten, Werbematerial und Branding herunterladen. Das komplette Medienmaterial ist frei nutzbar.". In english: "You can download this pack with images and you are free to use it for everything".

Polish 1946 banknotes

Request by User:Electron copied from my talk page:

Deleted in Commons:Deletion requests/Money of Poland, but nobody did care to restore them in 2017. Ankry (talk) 12:38, 24 March 2018 (UTC)

  • Don't we need evidence that the banknote designers have been dead for at least 70 years for them to be in the public domain in Poland? What United States copyright tag would apply? --Stefan2 (talk) 12:42, 24 March 2018 (UTC)
    No, we don't. The only owner of copyright for Polish banknotes and coins is "Narodowy Bank Polski" (see the NBP statemant about this matter in Polish, here -> [10]), so 70-year after the firts publication rule applyed. These banknots were isued in 1946, so they are in PD, now. Electron ツ ➧☎ 09:36, 25 March 2018 (UTC)
    If Google Translate is right, that page only states who the copyright holder is but doesn't explain why the copyright term would be 70 years from publication instead of 70 years from the death of the banknote designer. The fact that a legal person is the copyright holder doesn't affect the copyright term in the European Union; it's still 70 years from the death of the author. Besides, no valid United States copyright tag has been provided. --Stefan2 (talk) 12:00, 25 March 2018 (UTC)
In Polish copyright, we differentiate between personal and proprietary copyrights. Personal rights do not expire, property rights can be transferred to another person or institutions. If property rights are ceded to an institution then the institution's rights expire after 70 years from the first publication of the work.
In Poland, it is not customary to give the name of the author of money on banknotes or coins. Anyway, in the case of money authors are usually more than just the author of the drawing. They all assign their rights to institutions.
So the authors of the money are not officially known usually. It is also conditioned by the protection of means of payment.
According to the statement issued by the National Bank of Poland (issuer of Polish money), it is the "exclusive issuer and owner of proprietary copyrights to designs of banknotes and coins that are legal means of payment on the territory of the Republic of Poland." Because it is a legal institution, its copyrights expire after 70 years from the date of the first edition of the work (according to Polish copyright law).
According to the w:Copyright Duration Directive, the copyright expires 70 years after the death of the author even if the copyright is held by an organisation. Legislators in individual EU countries can't change that.
Even if something is unsigned, the copyright expires 70 years after the death of the after if the author's identity is disclosed in some other way. For example, Swedish coins are unsigned, but it's quite easy to find out who the engraver is, so Swedish coins are not anonymous works. You can find this information in the Wikipedia article about some engravers (for example, sv:Ernst Nordin), and the names might have been mentioned in newspapers when the coins were first introduced. Is there really no way to find out who the designers of Polish banknotes are? --Stefan2 (talk) 14:30, 25 March 2018 (UTC)
What kind of copyrights? Personal rights never expire. A person is the author or is not the author of the work. It does not depend on time, e.g. William Shakespeare is the author of King Lear but is not the author of Don Juan. If we taking about proprietary copyrights it can be ceased by the author to instituton, especially when he works for the institution and was by this institution payed for that. The rights held by an institution expere after 70 years of the first edition, see -> [11] Electron ツ ➧☎ 15:04, 25 March 2018 (UTC)

    @Electron: No, I am not using it in an automatic manner, I am using it as a handy labor-saving device. I research before using it in every case. "automatic" is not part of any of its backronyms, which I documented at Template talk:Oa#Template abbreviation. Commons:Deletion requests/Money of Poland has an extensive discussion of this issue. IMHO, the Bank of Poland knows (or should know) who designed these notes, so 70pma should apply, and the subject images should remain deleted until 120 years since design (or 70 years since death (if we learn of same), whichever comes first).   — Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me 16:20, 25 March 2018 (UTC)
    Yep... Let cite: or appear(s) to have based on the small size and lack of EXIF metadata. Ok. If you do not using it in an automatic manner: You are not the administrator here, so you can't see the deleted files. How do you know that information? Maybe you have a crystal ball or some voices from the beyond have told you that? So I think it doesn't really apply here. And it is not polite to use such template that can suits for everthing or can suits for nothing... and place it in every topic here. Electron ツ ➧☎ 16:55, 25 March 2018 (UTC)
 Comment I am not 100% sure, but logically the Bank of Poland should own the copyright in such a case. So 70 years after publication should be OK. Regards, Yann (talk) 16:28, 25 March 2018 (UTC)
OK. And the Bank of Poland claims that it owns the copyrigths indeed, so I don't understand what the problem is? Electron ツ ➧☎ 16:59, 25 March 2018 (UTC)

 Oppose I think there is confusion here about the meaning of the law. In many countries, including, as I understand it, the members of the EU, a work is under copyright for 70 years pma. That is true even if the copyright for the work has been transferred to an employer -- its term is still measured by the life of the creator. It was also true in the USA under the 1909 USA law but not the 1976 law.

Also, even if I misunderstand the EU law, there is the URAA. The discussion above rests on the fact that these are 1946 works for which the Polish copyright is said above to have expired on 1/1/2017. That is long after the URAA date and therefore these works will have a US copyright until 1/1/2042 (95 years after publication). Such works cannot be kept on Commons. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 10:29, 26 March 2018 (UTC)

In Polish copyright law, if the initial copyright owner is not the author (eg. in case of works made by an employee), copyright expire 70 years after publication (see here (Art 36 pkt3); English version). Ankry (talk) 16:55, 26 March 2018 (UTC)
I'm not qualified to judge how that interacts with the EU directive which requires that the term be measured by the creator's life, but, as I said above, it is moot, because these have a USA copyright under URAA until 2042. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 17:40, 26 March 2018 (UTC)
Jim: If the copyright owner was the Bank of Poland, the URAA may not have restored the copyright, as a government work. Regards, Yann (talk) 05:17, 27 March 2018 (UTC)
I'm not sure I understand your line of reasoning, Yann. Are you suggesting that because US Government works don't have a copyright, that URAA does not restore copyright to foreign government works? I don't think that is correct. As a general rule foreign government works have a US copyright. In fact, don't I remember a debate about whether the Canadian government could disclaim the URAA copyright? While I don't remember the outcome of that discussion, it was clear that in the absence of the disclaimer, that Canadian government works would have the URAA copyright. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 10:42, 27 March 2018 (UTC)
We have PD-EdictGov, which seems to cover quite a lot of things... Regards, Yann (talk) 10:58, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
As it says in the template, an edict is a law (or ordinance, which is the same thing), judicial decision, or administrative ruling. A map or photograph might be part of an edict, but by itself is not, even if published by a government. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 11:53, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
Btw. The Narodowy Bank Polski is not an usual bank as others. It is central bank of Poland and the bank that the structure and functioning (...) are regulated by article 227 of the Constitution of Poland of 1997 and the Narodowy Bank Polski Act of the same year. See -> wikipedia:en:National_Bank_of_Poland#Structure From 1945 up to 1989 it belonged stright to the state of Poland. Electron ツ ➧☎ 14:02, 28 March 2018 (UTC)

Sorry, folks, but User:Electron is quoting policy that has been overturned. Current policy makes it clear that while we must carefully examine the issues to ensure that indeed the URAA does apply, in cases where it does we cannot keep the file. These banknotes were not PD in Poland in 1996 and they otherwise qualify for URAA restoration. Narodowy Bank Polski can, of course formally disclaim the US copyright but in the absence of such an explicit disclaimer, we cannot keep the images of them. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 15:07, 3 April 2018 (UTC)

OK, but the National Bank of Poland is Polish bank, not American, so I suppose it doesn't care about American copyrigts at all in this metter and it doesn't care if these files are still copyrigted somewhere else. But of course USA law can still protect these files if they want it. Sometimes some thigs can be strange.
The fact is that the files are not protected in Poland, they were done by the institution that belonged to Polish state, on order done by Polish goverment at that time and were official bank notes in Poland. So I would say that they were some kind of the official documents published by the goverment and used by most of the people in Poland. Electron ツ ➧☎ 19:34, 3 April 2018 (UTC)

The whole idea of copyright conventions is that the copyright that a work has in the source country is being recognized in other countries. As far as I am aware, nobody has been able to provide an example case in which a copyright holder has exercised copyright in the US on a work that was out of copyright in the country of origin. If we follow the logic of the URAA-deletionists, we would have to deleted many files we currently host as PD-old, that is all files of which the author has died before 1948 but which were not published before 1923. Jcb (talk) 22:08, 3 April 2018 (UTC)

 Support Uploading to Commons implies adhering to 2 copyright laws: (1) country of origin, and (2) US copyright law (because the servers of WM Commons seem to be placed on US soil). Up to that point, I am with you. From that point onwards, it looks like a joke. Polish copyright laws seem to release the images (Polish banknotes) in the public domain, so how on earth can US copyright take control over the copyright of Polish banknotes? If Commons is completely US-biased, we really need Wikimedia Commons Europe. Some of the servers are placed in the Netherlands, are they? Vysotsky (talk) 22:46, 3 April 2018 (UTC)

In this other page of their web, they state that all of the photos from their recipes, excluding the ones on the list below, are of their own.

File:Gregorio Perfecto High School Logo (2017).png

This current logo of Gregorio Perfecto High School is created by the school's current principal, Mr. Diosdado DG. Florendo since 2017. This logo is in public use and the principal is allowing anyone to use the logo in and outside the school, and even in online (fb.com/GPHS2better) I do not own this logo, yet it should be restored and put into the Gregorio Perfecto High School Wiki Page because it represents the respective school.

 Oppose This image has appeared online without a free licence, so you cannot claim "own work" and grant a Creative Commons licence for it.

File:我的家人.jpg

I'm really kind of depressed about this corner of Wiki. I thought this was a collaborative Wiki. I was under the impression that this was a place for discussion and consensus, not admins and power users stretching their muscles to feel big. The ONLY vote on that deletion request was keep, and yet it was deleted at the closing discretion. So what's the point of a discussion if it doesn't matter? Further, what is up with deleting Taiwanese family photos? Is this a mainland China is best kind of thing? I'm honestly not understanding why it is "out of scope" to have a Taiwanese family. Oh well. You all are going to ignore this too I guess? Nesnad (talk) 16:35, 3 April 2018 (UTC)

 Oppose Raising the issue over and over will not change policy. Commons policy is firm -- we are not Facebook and we do not keep family photos from any country unless the family is notable, that is, they have an article in WP or significant mentions on Google. You'd like to make this racist, but it is just as much out of scope to have an American family as a Nigerian one. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 16:44, 3 April 2018 (UTC)


Deletion requests are not votes -- the closing admin will pick the best argument per policy. Scope arguments are among the most contentious to be sure, and there is probably wide variance among admins on it. I can't see the photo, so can't comment directly, but the policy is definitely worded such that modern family-album type photos are out of scope. Category:People of Taiwan does have some content. If there was a series of photos designed to be documentary of current culture, that could be different. While it is somewhat paradoxical that similar older photos would probably be of interest, there are rights (such as publicity and privacy rights) that can complicate uses of still-living people, and if we allow some then the argument to keep should hold for millions of others as well. The policy is pretty clear on that; your DR arguments would be better if they argue using the text of the policy. If you think the policy is wrong and should be changed, that is a different matter -- that is for discussion on the policy page, and if your arguments gains consensus there, then the policy can change. Until then, deletion requests would be decided per existing policy. Hopefully, sites like Flickr and others will provide a corpus of such documentary images, such that modern culture is not lost. You could argue that current-day culture is likely to be among the best-documented in history, really. Carl Lindberg (talk) 17:06, 3 April 2018 (UTC)

Comment - You will all vote against it, that's the nature of deletionists. But this IS NOT MY IMAGE. So nothing to do with personal webhost. I do not even upload it. And the whole point of scope is educational value, and where is a lack of educational value when we talk about representing families in various countries? A child in Spain might wonder about a family in Taiwan, why is it bad to share that? You guys just have an agenda. Nesnad (talk) 06:37, 6 April 2018 (UTC)
@Nesnad: My agenda is to comply with Commons policies and procedures. Why do you care so much about this image, seemingly more than uploader @莊惟智 (based on level of participation)? High quality photos of families in Taiwan and most other countries are well represented on Flickr, Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, etc., we don't need low quality ones here.   — Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me 09:24, 6 April 2018 (UTC)
Because high quality ones I uploaded were deleted for being my personal photos, even though they weren't mine at all. We are not Instagram, facebook, etc. I see us as a timecapsule for the future, what we put on our boat will hopefully withstand the test of time, I'm not sure about those sites. None the less, deletionists just delete whatever they feel like regardless if there is actual educational value in it, and leave plenty of low quality images hanging around if they don't feel like deleting those. Very odd. Oh well. Nesnad (talk) 11:01, 6 April 2018 (UTC)

If we can't find a good reason to doubt the source information (such as an obviously non-military subject, or contrary information elsewhere on the web about them), I would probably lean keep on them.

File:Nunziata monumento.jpg

Hi, can you help me to restore the image Nunziata Monumento.jpg? It respect Italian law on copyrights, law 22 aprile 1941 n.633 articolo 70, that was update by dlgs 6 febbraio 2016 n.8. The only limits are a low resolution (on internet) and prohibition of commercial use. The image is an ancient communal postcard of 1930 depicting a monument and a street. Both photos are in the public domain and are free to use, without any license. Thanks to all. SicilianCulturalHeritage (talk) 16:04, 11 April 2018 (UTC)

 Oppose The photographs may be out of copyright, but if the monument on the left (inaugurated in 1930) was made by it:Mario Moschetti (died 1960), it is still copyrighted to his heirs. So we cannot host derivative photographs without permission. De728631 (talk) 16:17, 11 April 2018 (UTC)

File:USNavy Royal Navy Japan Maritime Self-Defence Force.jpg

This was caught up in a mass deletion request but mod.uk states this is a U.S. Navy photograph. Consequently PD. --Fæ (talk) 11:18, 9 April 2018 (UTC)

 Support Agreed. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 13:26, 9 April 2018 (UTC)

 Info I only discovered this image by coming across a crop which was still linked to the deleted file. The DR Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Chaelrs555, has many other naval photographs such as those of USS Carl Vinson. It is highly likely that these are PD and finding sources is a question of checking DVIDS or googling for the image or the military photographer's name. For all I know there were valid sources already mentioned on the image pages. It is a pity that these were not double checked while the DR was open.

Update Checking the now undeleted image, there source I "discovered", was already quoted on the image page before the DR was created. The DR nomination quotes Commons:Project scope/Evidence as its single rationale for deletion, this seems misplaced as there was visible evidence and a source was given in this case. Could we undelete all the files and reopen the DR if a more detailed review is needed? @Ellin Beltz and Jcb: for comment as raising admin and closing admin.

 Oppose undeletion of the whole series. These files are grabbed from all over the internet. (e.g. File:USS Carl Vinson Mitsubishi F-15J.jpg is sourced to Facebook). If a file can be properly sourced to e.g. US Navy, that individual file can be undeleted. Jcb (talk) 14:43, 9 April 2018 (UTC)
Perhaps as you closed the DR, you would kindly review the deleted image pages for sources. The undeleted example had a reasonable source, it is highly likely that others in this series do as well. As only sysops can look at the files, it is impossible for non-sysops to help you with correctly reviewing the sources.
As a test, could you list the 3 Carl Vinson related image sources, or confirm which has none? If the source to the cherry-picked example on Facebook is the official US Navy Flickr account, this is likely to identify the VIRIN if the photo was ever released on a .gov website or DVIDS. --Fæ (talk) 15:58, 9 April 2018 (UTC)

*File:USS Carl Vinson Mitsubishi F-15J.jpg - facebook
The Facebook link looks okay as a source. JMSDF official photos are PD and this photo has that attribution on the source page and the JMSDF Facebook account is credibly official. Following the links eventually takes you to http://www.mod.go.jp/msdf/formal/info/news/201706/20170601-01.pdf where the photograph is published in an official JMSDF report.

If the link is correct, then the news release has since changed its place. There is a version on archive.org, apparently with the same title in Japanese, so verification as CC-BY-4.0 looks okay. The photograph might be related to http://www.mod.go.jp/e/jdf/no89/activities.html or the pdf version, but without seeing the photograph it is impossible for me to be certain. --Fæ (talk) 23:36, 9 April 2018 (UTC)

Though the link may be twitter, this is the official military account. Every photograph I see in the stream has a proper attribution, some even to DVIDS images. This image is likely to be identical to https://www.dvidshub.net/image/3335913/uss-carl-vinson-cvn-70-foreground-japan-maritime-self-defense-force-destroyer-js-ashigara-ddg-178-left-and and consequently is public domain.

So far, every photograph that was deleted that I could examine in any way, could be demonstrated to be CC-BY or public domain. There has yet to one image which has been demonstrated to be a copyright violation. --Fæ (talk) 23:44, 9 April 2018 (UTC)

The images that were sourced to the Japanese army and air force pages are copyvios, e.g. File:KC-767Japan.jpg [16][17]. Contrary to other JSDF websites, the latter two don't have a free licence. File:Bushmaster-Japan.png was sourced to the "JSDF News" YouTube channel which has been deleted (archive snapshot), so the licence can't be checked any more. And I seem to recall that there were one or two images from the Australian Army's website. De728631 (talk) 10:30, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
This seems confusing. CC-BY-4.0 applies to the mod.go.jp sourced images per http://www.mod.go.jp/e/notice.html, unless there are third party rights mentioned. Why do you state these are copyright violations?
The presumption that images from an official YouTube channel must be copyright violations also seems peculiar, we do not delete images simply on the basis of link rot. If the images were on the official YouTube channel, they are likely to have duplicate versions on other official channels.
Again, what is missing here is any evidence that shows any of these military images were copyright violations, and those that can be analysed properly have so far all been shown to be CC-BY-4.0 or public domain. The original DR was flawed in presuming that an official Facebook account or an official Twitter account could never be used for verification. In particular the Twitter stream appears to source its retweeted photos perfectly well for our verification needs. --Fæ (talk) 12:06, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
Yes, it is confusing, but the JSDF are not consistent when it comes to their licensing. While all the other English versions of the various JSDF websites have an explicite licence statement where CC-by compatibility is declared, the air force and army pages do not. The army page is even Copyright © JGSDF. All Rights Reserved. in Japanese. However, I just checked the official air force site in Japanese, where CC-by-4.0 is mentioned for regular content, but YouTube is excluded. Google Translator comes up with
"This usage rule was set on January 27, Heisei 28. This usage rule conforms to the Government Standard Terms of Service (version 2.0). This usage rule is now. It may be changed afterwards. If you already use content according to the previous version of the Government Standard Terms of Service, that condition will continue to apply.
This Usage Rule is the Creative Commons License Display 4.0 International (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode.ja Copyright License Terms. Hereafter it is called "CC BY".
For the following contents, usage rules different from this usage rule apply. For details, please refer to the link destination page.
(1) About using the JSDF Official Channel (YouTube [Standard Terms, my emphasis])"
So, air force pictures that were not extracted from their YouTube channel but taken directly from the website are also CC-by-4.0, while images from the army site are non-free. This leaves us with an additional set of files to be undeleted:
As to outright copyvios, the following image was attributed to the JGSDF/army website and is to be considered non-free: File:Avv7-Japan.jpg - [18]. File:Ash Carter.jpg was taken from this page which is also "All Rights Reserved". De728631 (talk) 22:32, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
I like the separation into definitively free licensed vs. definitively copyrighted. Thanks for working on these.
With regard to Avv7, the page linked at mod.go.jp appears to be covered by the terms at http://www.mod.go.jp/gsdf/rule/index.html which is linked at the footer. I see the @JGSDF ARR on the right hand side, but it's not clear to me this actually applies to gallery of photos or the press releases. It may well be that press releases are on a temporary release license, similar to the MOD's press license, however the page given seems ambiguous as to which applies where. I agree that the best interpretation is to be cautious and presume ARR unless someone with more expertise can advise on terms.
The Carter photo series surprised me, this is normally exactly the type of political photo that gets made PD, however though I see it published on the Facebook stream, it is still sourced to the copyrighted page as msdfmso.
Hopefully this discussion has laid some helpful ground work when this comes up again. :-) --Fæ (talk) 08:30, 11 April 2018 (UTC)

@Yann: merci beaucoup. I've moved that one file to File:Japanese Ship Hyuga DDH-181 with aircraft carrier strike group (181 15l).jpg. From my pov, there's nothing left to do here. Fæ, what about you? De728631 (talk) 13:14, 13 April 2018 (UTC)
I think we've had a good crack at properly attempting to find copyright status for these, and there's unlikely to be more evidence without a lot more effort. The accidental nature of discovery is worrying, it leads me to suspect there may be many other batch deletions where sources were ignored and there was an over-presumption of everything is probably a copyvio; however, this is not the place to try to do something about that. --Fæ (talk) 13:21, 13 April 2018 (UTC)

File:Band The Tract.jpg

This photo was taken on September 20 2015 by Lisa Woess (Liz Aw Visualizations). We (the band The Tract), who paid for her service as a photographer have the author's permission to use the photo.

If this is not enough, what else do I have to do to make it work? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tractatissimus (talk • contribs) 20:48, 12 April 2018 (UTC)

 Oppose First, please do not claim that you are the photographer, as you did on this image, unless you actually are the photographer. Such claims are at best a nuisance and at worst a serious violation of Commons rules that will lead to your being blocked from editing here.

In order for this image to be restored either (a) Lisa Woess must send a free license directly to OTRS, or (b) an authorized member of the band must send a free license including evidence of a formal written copyright transfer or license that allows the band to freely license the image. In either case, when the e-mail reaches the head of the OTRS queue in about 7 days, the image will be automatically restored. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 12:16, 13 April 2018 (UTC)

File:Louis Agathon, comte de Flavigny, vicomte de Renansart.jpg

J'aimerais faire enfin mon article sur M. Louis-Agathon de Flavigny de Rennasart maintenant que mes recherches sont terminées; de nombreux documents comme son portrait et son château ont été refusés sur Commons_ sans doute parce que je n'ai pas su mettre mes sources_ alors qu'ils viennent tous des archives de la Somme ou de l'Aisne en ligne. J'ai écrit à ces organismes et j'ai l'autorisation de les publier. Je vais donc essayer de les réintroduire sur Commons. Si je n'arrive pas à le faire, je ne rédigerai pas l'article sur Wikipedia_ ce qui serait dommage. Voici les liens:

Mass TechCrunch restore request

Please restore all images deleted in the following DRs:

Per the close by Ruthven at Commons:Deletion requests/File:Gavin Wood in 2017.jpg. TechCrunch has every right to release their photos under a free license if they choose to do so on their confirmed Flickr account. Them being present on Getty, and the metadata, do not discount the fact that TechCrunch has this right. --Majora (talk) 01:03, 14 April 2018 (UTC)

I just added six more files and another mass DR that was just deleted by Jcb. This is getting ridiculous. These are TechCrunch's images. Released by TechCrunch on their Flickr page. You can't have this both ways here. Getty does not own these images. TechCrunch has every right to release them under a free license. --Majora (talk) 02:07, 15 April 2018 (UTC)
Just for reference there are 24 other images from the TechCrunch account that have Getty in the metadata. So, again, can't have it both ways here. Total, there are almost 700 images from TechCrunch's flickr page (which is now blacklisted) on Commons. --Majora (talk) 02:32, 15 April 2018 (UTC)

 Oppose If a photographer who works for or with Getty Images and is not a TechCrunch employee takes photographs at a TechCrunch event, then the photographer or Getty Images owns the copyright. It is certainly possible that Getty has licensed the images to TechCrunch for use in their own publicity and publications, but it is very unlikely that Getty has given TechCrunch the right to freely license them -- that's not how Getty works. If such a license exists, TechCrunch must offer evidence of it via OTRS. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 11:23, 15 April 2018 (UTC)

 Comment These photographers simply delegate to Getty the management of their rights. Getty usually requires exclusivity, but there could be exceptions. It could very well be that some have allowed TechCrunch to publish their images under a free license. Anyway, if a permission is needed, it is from the photographer, not from TechCrunch. Regards, Yann (talk) 15:25, 15 April 2018 (UTC)
I contacted TechCrunch. See Ticket:2018041510004936. Regards, Yann (talk) 16:07, 15 April 2018 (UTC)
I've sent them emails as well. But to a more limited number of address. Thank you Yann for being more thorough. It is common for events such as these to hire photographers to document them. Which would constitute a work for hire contact for the company so permission from TechCrunch would be fine since it would be corporate ownership. It is possible that TechCrunch even hired Getty which would then depend on how the contract was worded. I was just flummoxed over this. Two different admins closing the same thing different leaving out images that have the same potential issue. If you are going to do cleanup at least do it completely. And at the very least, do it evenly. --Majora (talk) 16:29, 15 April 2018 (UTC)

 Withdrawn For the time being pending any response to Yann's query. I've watched the ticket so I'll reopen if and when there is a proper response. --Majora (talk) 04:56, 16 April 2018 (UTC)

This picture was originally taken and published by a Flickr user DianesDigitals who took pictures of many wrestling related people and agreed to put some of them on CC licence. We actually use File:Miss Elizabeth running.jpg based on his flicker status. There is no reason to treat his Ultimate Warrior's photo different way.

File:Timisoara_cathedral.jpg

The deleting reason was "Copyvio. The orginal image is a 1980s postcard." All single images published in Romania before 1991 fall under Decree no. 321/1956 of June 18, 1956, see {{PD-RO-photo}}. A postcard is a published image. If the license was not "PD-RO-photo", then this is the right license. --Turbojet (talk) 16:16, 3 April 2018 (UTC)

Architect died 1964 though. Would appear to be fine for the U.S., and en-wiki, but (due to FoP) not sure it's OK in Romania yet. Undelete in 2035 maybe? Carl Lindberg (talk) 16:42, 3 April 2018 (UTC)
This image is not a picture taken by someone, where, indeed, it would apply what you say, but a published image. The Romanian law was not in 1980s the today's law. According to law in force in 1980s, copyright has expired and the current law (Law 8/1996) has not been able to protect those images again – it's not retroactive. --Turbojet (talk) 18:43, 3 April 2018 (UTC)
 OpposeTurbojet, you may or may not be correct with respect to the photograph, but it is moot. As Carl said above, the issue here is that the cathedral itself was designed by an architect who died in 1964. We cannot keep images of copyrighted works of art and architecture without a free license from the creator, in this case, the architect's heirs.
In particular, under the 1956 law, the architect's copyright lasted for 50 years after his death, so it was still in effect in 1996 when the new law extended it to 70 years after his death. It will be under copyright until 1/1/2035. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 21:24, 3 April 2018 (UTC)
I Agree that copyrighted images can not be kept at commons. But, according to the Romanian legislation in force at that time, different from that of the EU or the US, for this image copyright have expired.
The text of Decree 321/1956 provides in Art. 7 a, b, c, three exceptions, and further says that any other provision applies to anything except the specified exceptions. The architect and his heirs hold the copyright on the building, except for the published images. In Romania, the images were published legally, with the consent of all copyright holders, and they were aware that for the published images the duration of protection was that established by the exceptions in Art. 7. Nowhere in the decree does it appear that the images of the artistic works would be exempted from the provisions of Art. 7. Such an interpretation is an addition to the law, inadmissible. --Turbojet (talk) 16:49, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
@Turbojet: Generally there are two copyrights -- the architectural copyright, and the photographic copyright. Even if the photographic copyright is expired, if it is a derivative work of something still under copyright, there can still be a problem. Google Translate on the old Romanian law is not the best for the articles in question, though it seemed to me that was the section prescribing a shorter copyright term for photos as opposed to other kinds of works. I am willing to believe that in the old law, the derivative aspect of the architectural copyright may not have been an issue, if that is what you say. However, when copyright laws are updated, even when the copyright durations are not changed, the *scope* of any existing copyrights usually changes to those rights in the new law (and sometimes keeps old rights if the new law does not have them). In fact, article 146 of the 1996 law says The provisions of this Law shall apply in any of the following situations: A. to works: ... (d) where they are works of architecture built on the territory of Romania; . So, that is giving the scope of *current* rights to architectural authors, regardless of what those rights were before in the old law. Article 149(c) is the one which extends any existing copyrights to the limits of the new law (it was intended to be non-retroactive but the lawmakers missed a critical word "not" which was fixed a few years later). The building however was still under copyright per the old law in 1996, thus the architectural copyright should now last until 2035 and the rights, presumably including derivative rights, should be those as described in the new law. So if the photo is a derivative work per the terms of the current law, it would still seem to be a problem to me. Or am I missing something? Carl Lindberg (talk) 15:09, 13 April 2018 (UTC)
I know there are two kinds of copyright on architecture photos, the photographer's copyright and the architect's copyright. For the photographer's copyright to the published pictures, Decree 321/1956 is very clear.
For the architect's copyright:
  • Article 43 of D321/1956 abrogated any copyright law that provides otherwise than this decree.
  • D321/1956 has provisions for derivative works only for works of art (literary, musical, plastic art), but not for works of architecture. Article 42 of D321/1956 expressly stated that copyrights on architectural works would be further established by the Council of Ministers Decision. Such a decision has never been issued. [21]
  • D321/1956 referring to the architect's copyright refers exclusively to their payments based on employment contracts. There is none about copyright related to derivative works from their works.
Although it seems to be inconceivable today, between the Decree 321/1956 and Law 8/1996, no Romanian legislation has granted to architects copyright on derivative works from their works.
The issues about the presence or absence of the "no" particle in Law 8/1996 are not related to this discussion, but if anyone wants details, I can explain. --Turbojet (talk) 17:38, 16 April 2018 (UTC)
I don't doubt any of the above. However, it would seem that in 1996, architects did get derivative rights going forward. So today, this photo would seem to fall under those rights. While the photographer would not have needed a license from the architect before 1996, since then anyone else wanting to distribute such photographs would, correct? The architect's copyright still exists, with all of the rights in today's law that go with it, it seems to me. Carl Lindberg (talk) 13:48, 17 April 2018 (UTC)
The conclusion of the DR was wrong, applying the principles of the law currently in force and ignoring the Romanian law in force at the time. --Turbojet (talk) 17:04, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
The deletion reason in this DR is wrong, but it is waste of time to undelete this image only to create a DR with right rationale. Or even delete it speedily. @Turbojet: feel free to add a comment in this, closed DR together with proper Undelete in ... category and Romanian FoP category. Ankry (talk) 13:11, 17 April 2018 (UTC)

I submitted the release on 2018-02-24 and received the confirmation ticket number [Ticket#: 2018022410003611] from Permissions Commons on the same date, but as of today (2018-04-19) the file has not been restored.

File:Energir logo.png

The closing sysop, Ellin Beltz, ignored the discussion and did not produce any rationale accessible for the common people (few oracles not included). My argument, in short: there is no other English logo of Énergir on Wikimedia Commons. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 19:07, 22 March 2018 (UTC)

Greetings: I didn't ignore the discussion, I saw several instances of blocked user contributions and no clear indication of permission. Image is available in SVG at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:%C3%89nergir_logo.svg. I would not personally contest its restoration, but would prefer a higher quality version if restored. Cheers. Ellin Beltz (talk) 19:28, 22 March 2018 (UTC)
I might miss a discourse about either “permission” or “quality” in relation to Energir_logo.png – where did it happen? Moreover, a burst of ©-paranoia wrt a {{PD-textlogo}} uploaded by Gasexpert, a Meterrs/ConsumersDistributingonline sock, prompted by a delreq made by Tikrest, another Meterrs/ConsumersDistributingonline sock, showcases Commons practices as ridiculous, at best. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 19:53, 22 March 2018 (UTC)
Please state your point without sarcasm or insult. The file was unused. There is a higher quality SVG. We don't usually waste time meanly debating the fine points of unused "own work" or on such low quality images. Ellin Beltz (talk) 19:58, 22 March 2018 (UTC)
I never saw Wikimedia Commons deleting files because a replacement exists in English Wikipedia, never before. Does it become an accepted practice? Incnis Mrsi (talk) 20:07, 22 March 2018 (UTC)

 Comment I would ordinarily agree with IM -- we should not delete the only Commons version of a logo just because an SVG exists on WP:EN. In fact, we do not routinely delete preexisting raster versions even if the SVG is on Commons. That said, however, this is such poor quality that I agree that deletion is justified. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 09:58, 23 March 2018 (UTC)

@Incnis Mrsi, Ellin Beltz, and Jameslwoodward: Would this PNG rendering of the enwiki SVG at its designated size be considered a suitable replacement as {{subst:PD-Trademark-Text-Logo}}?   — Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me 13:17, 23 March 2018 (UTC)
I am not an expert on logos. As as image expert I certify that Energir_logo.png is not identical to a rendered Énergir_logo.svg, and as a sock buster I certify than all three suspicious accs in the history grew on the same farm. And again, there can be good and poor replacements, but the reason behind Ellin’s deletion is still unclear to me and I am puzzled why certain high-ranking Commons member indirectly encourage ConsumersDistributingonline to bring his crap. My proposal to protect the file—as an item on which the community already spent some resources—and kick all puppets off without deliberation was ignored. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 13:37, 23 March 2018 (UTC)
@Incnis Mrsi: I share your concern, but can the SVG be fixed to make it render better?   — Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me 13:44, 23 March 2018 (UTC)

 Not done: It has been almost a month since the last comment. We now have the logo on Commons in SVG. I see not reason to keep a small (232 × 50 px) version of the logo in PNG. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 10:20, 21 April 2018 (UTC)

File:El Gran Carlemany.ogg

This file was deleted with other national anthems in this nomination. It was downloaded from:

http://www.nationalanthems.info/ad.htm

El Gran Carlemany was adopted as the national anthem in Andorra in 1921, meaning the composition is in the public domain in both the United States and in Andorra. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SpanishSnake (talk • contribs) 00:42, 23 April 2018 (UTC)

—SpanishSnake (talk) 00:42, 23 April 2018 (UTC)

 Support Copyright for musical works is complex. The law in Andorra calls for copyright lasting 70 years after the death of the creator, so a 1921 work is far too recent to assume that it is out of copyright there. The following copyrights may exist:

  • Lyrics -- Juan Benlloch i Vivó (1864–1926)
  • Music -- Enric Marfany Bons (1871–1942)
  • Recording -- US Navy
  • Performance -- (not applicable everywhere, but US Navy in this case).

Therefore, the work became PD in Andorra on 1/1/2013 and is PD in the USA. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 10:15, 23 April 2018 (UTC)

In the file description, Simotuc63 claimed to be the photographer. Now she claims that her husband was the photographer. Making incorrect claims of authorship is at best a nuisance and at worst a serious violation of Commons rules. While it is policy to Assume Good Faith on the part of uploaders, that does not apply where the uploader has made incorrect claims.

Given the circumstances, it would be best if you rescanned a paper copy of the photograph at considerably higher resolution and uploaded it again with the correct attribution.

Undelete request 3 files All 3 are public domain

According to the description on the image gallery, "Image of Tammie jo Shults taken by Tom Milne in 1992 when he was a Navy Photojournalist"

http://abc30.com/disasters-accidents/fresno-california-photographer-captured-images-of-tammie-jo-shults-pilot-of-ill-fated-southwest-airlines-flight-1380/3363694/#gallery-4

This is also confirmed on this facebook post by the photographers official business page: We’re pulling from the archive today to honor Pilot Tammie J. Shults, who landed Southwest #flight1380 to safety Tuesday. During his time in the Navy, Tom had the opportunity to photograph Shults while doing a story on women in aviation in 1992. https://www.facebook.com/Milne.Photography.Fresno/photos/a.149389874428.108948.133356579428/10156419287559429/?type=3&theater

Here is the original Naval Aviation magazine page 14, where you can see one of the 4 images in this series - with th same name of the photographer as well: https://www.history.navy.mil/content/dam/nhhc/research/histories/naval-aviation/Naval%20Aviation%20News/1990/pdf/so92.pdf the PDF is from this official Navy website: September/October issue 1992: https://www.history.navy.mil/research/histories/naval-aviation-history/naval-aviation-news/back-issues/1990/1992.html

Although those images have watermarks, they are still public domain according to this Commons policy, and no OTRS should be required.

This below image file by the same original uploader is not deleted, and I kindly request that all 4 of them should be marked as a verified public domain image by commons admins, and available to the public.

Note: I didn't upload the files, they were uploaded by user:Aviatrix8704, I just want to make sure public domain files will be available to the public. Thanks

Photos by The Boss 1980

Hello,

Flickr user Hugo Cotnoir uploads many of his good ice hockey photos on Flickr. He is also Wikimedia user The Boss 1980. He recently uploaded a few of his photos to Commons, under a CC-by-sa 4.0 license. They are used to illustrate Wikipedia articles about hockey players. Another Commons user tagged his files as "no permission" and they were deleted.

Hugo Cotnoir's photos on flickr are usually under all rights reserved, but for each photo that he uploaded to Commons, he specifically adapted the license of that same photo to CC-by-sa 2.0 on flickr. Which, I think, is already evidence that he is the same person.

Also, Hugo Cotnoir has an established internet presence, e.g. on facebook, twitter, and of course flickr. I contacted Hugo Cotnoir's twitter account and this also confirmed that he is indeed the same person. However, although Hugo Cotnoir's photos are very good, he is not a professional photographer and does not have a traditional website with a public business contact address. For this reason, the existing confirmations through his public internet accounts are probably better evidence than would be OTRS mail from a private address.

There are two possible rationales for the undeletion of his Commons photos. If you are convinced, as I am, that there is sufficient evidence already that photographer Hugo Cotnoir is indeed user The Boss 1980 on Commons, then it is the best solution because this would allow him to upload any of his photos to Commons under any free license of his choice and with the attribution of his choice, e.g. CC-by-sa 4.0 and author=The Boss 1980, which is what he actually did on Commons (instead of CC-by-sa 2.0 and name Hugo Cotnoir as he did on flickr).

Alternatively, if you are not convinced of the identity of the user, then the files could be restored and linked to the corresponding flickr copies and we can change their license on Commons from CC-by-sa 4.0 to CC-by-sa 2.0 and the name from The Boss 1980 to Hugo Cotnoir. For example, this is what was done with File:MarcoCharpentier3R.jpg. Given that the flickr copies are under CC-by-sa 2.0 there, then anybody could have validly uploaded them from flickr to Commons with the same license and it does not matter that they were actually uploaded to Commons by the photographer himself. I can't look at the deleted Commons files right now because I'm not an admin, so I can't list each flickr file matching each Commons file. From memory, I remember this one on flickr, which I think was the one that matches "File:NicolasCorbeil.jpg.jpg" on Commons. Anyway, it can be done for each file once they are undeleted.

I hope we can help this photographer. Thank you in advance. -- Asclepias (talk) 17:25, 24 April 2018 (UTC)

✓ Done: as per above. @Asclepias and The Boss 1980: The Flickr version should be uploaded when it is of a higher resolution, and/or has metadata. Also please fix the categories. And a version without watermark would be best (that's why the files were tagged as "no permission"). --Yann (talk) 04:15, 25 April 2018 (UTC)

There is some confusion as to which photograph is in this file. If it is the one of the subject standing next to her poster, then yes, it is my own work. Permission is granted to use this photo. Nina07011960 (talk) 15:57, 23 April 2018 (UTC)

It's that picture, but permission from the author of the poster will also be needed. See DW. Jcb (talk) 19:39, 23 April 2018 (UTC)

The photographer was hired to take the promotional photo. The picture was taken in 1987. The photographer (of the portrait, which was taken in 1985) cannot be found. Nina07011960 (talk) 20:44, 23 April 2018 (UTC)

Photographers often retain the copyright on their work. If there is no evidence for a rights transfer, we have to assume that the photographer is still the copyright holder. Jcb (talk) 21:07, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
 Oppose Agreed. The copyright to photographs is almost always held by the photographer, even when the photographer is paid for the work. Unless you can produce a formal, written license or transfer of copyright, the image cannot be kept on Commons. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 10:27, 24 April 2018 (UTC)

This kind of "documental photographs" are undoubtedly PD in Brazil if taken before 1998, the 1996 limit is because of the URAA law. The first file may fall into this condition.

I took the picture, its a picture from a business card from the 1940´s or 50´s, its exposed to the public in the wall of the restaurant, as a rare old thing. It should be undeleted. Thank you.--Pravdaverita (talk) 13:22, 25 April 2018 (UTC)

  •  Oppose This image has (or these images have) appeared on the Internet without a free license prior to being uploaded here (or appear(s) to have based on the small size and lack of EXIF metadata), and was (or were) thus deleted by an Administrator. Policy requires that the actual copyright holder, which is almost always the photographer or image designer, must send a free license directly using VRTS. If the underlying photo was taken in the 1940s or 50s, its copyright extends into the 2020s or 30s due to Spain's 80pma copyright law at the time.

 Oppose The file description says 1969, but even 1930 is far too recent to assume that the photographer has been dead for the 80 years required by the Spanish copyright law until 1996. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 18:11, 25 April 2018 (UTC)

Einspruch gegen Löschung der Bilddatei File:AbcKaterLrsZentrum.png

Mit der Löschung der Datei bin ich nicht einverstanden. Wieso verstößt die Datei gegen das Urheberrecht? Sowohl die hochgeladene Datei ist mein eigenes Werk als auch die entsprechende Datei auf der Website lrs-online.de. Die Website unseres Vereins und sämliche Illustrationen etc. wurden von mir selbst erstellt. Ich selbst bin als Vorstandsmitglied des Vereins verantwortlich für den Inhalt (vgl. das Impressum unter https://lrs-online.de/index.php/impressum). Karl-Ludwig Herné --Kalle Herné (talk) 15:10, 25 April 2018 (UTC)

 Oppose Das Logo ist auf der Webseite des Vereins bereits ohne eine freie Lizenz veröffentlicht worden. In solchen Fällen wird die Datei auf Commons vorsichtshalber immer gelöscht, bis wir eine Bestätigung per Email erhalten haben. Wir machen das, weil wir täglich Dutzende von betrügerischen Freigaben erhalten, und sonst keine Möglichkeit haben, die Commons-Benutzerkonten auf Echtheit zu überprüfen. Einfacher ist aber, das Logo auf der Homepage entsprechend freizugeben. Ein Hinweis im Impressum, dass die Grafik von Kalle Herné unter der Creative Commons Lizenz cc-by-sa-4.0 veröffentlicht wurde, genügt auch als Nachweis.
Dennoch stellt sich aber die Frage, ob das Logo überhaupt für Wikimedia Commons geeignet ist. Der entsprechende Wikipedia-Artikel wurde zur Löschung vorgeschlagen, und wenn die Wikipedia-Seite auch entfernt wird, gibt es aufgrund von mangelnder Nutzbarkeit leider keinen Grund mehr, das Logo hier zu behalten.

I would like to request this file be reinstated. It is an updated photo of Betsy Wolfe and is currently being used across the internet (including playbill.com). The photographer has given unlimited rights to all as long as he's given a photo credit.

Hello,

I'm requesting that the photo referenced above (File:Kevin Reilly at Turner's 2017 Winter TCA session.jpg) to be "undeleted."

As a general rule, all of the images that appear in a montage on Commons must be uploaded to Commons individually, so that even if the photographer sends a license for the images, the montage will not be restored. The file description for the montage must list all of the individual photographs. Without that, this montage is out of scope because, among other things it does not give any locations for any of the photos. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 13:39, 26 April 2018 (UTC)

File:Anirvan Shukla.JPG

A wikimedia admin requested a photo of me, to be used at http://wiki.wikimedia.in/Featured_Wikimedian/Archive/2014, for my profile at Featured Wikimedian (India) for January 2014. If the image was being used at that page, I do not understand why it was deleted. Also, wasn't there a general guideline that a personal image for your own Wikipedia user page was acceptable for self-representation? Thanks, Anir1uph (talk) 10:40, 27 April 2018 (UTC)

@Anir1uph: You were notified of Commons:Deletion requests/File:Anirvan Shukla.JPG on 11 May 2017. The required setting "Notify me about these events / Talk page message / Web" at Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-echo, when combined with the setting "Cross-wiki notifications / Show notifications from other wikis" at en:Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-echo, should have allowed you to receive that notification. To work in a more collegiate and efficient manner, I strongly suggest you enable that latter setting and remove the DeepSkyBlue messagebox from atop your user talk page. "The Wikimedia India Chapter ... is an independent", and is therefore considered a third-party reuser. Thus, the use of Commons files on that website is not detected by WMF tools. If you used that file on your user page here or on English Wikipedia, it would have been kept. Would you like to do that if it is restored?   — Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me 12:32, 27 April 2018 (UTC)
Hi, yeah I must have missed the notification. I will try to change the notification preferences, but I am no longer an active editor on the English Wikipedia either, so there is that. If you undelete that this image, I will put it on my user page. And thanks for explaining why the image got nominated for deletion in the first place. Cheers!

This file was unduly deleted. I am a legitimate user of this file and the picture in it. I have already sent many requests and explanations, but I am probably doing it the wrong way. I am not an expert in these procedures. I am sorry for that. The fact of the matter is that I am fully entitled to freely use the picture in this file. Besides, the picture is public by itself. The picture is copyright free according to APFN, its original owner and producer. I have already sent a writen permissiom to clarify this question. This is the link to the permission from APFN:

  • Signing your posts on talk pages is required and it is a Commons guideline to sign your posts on deletion requests, undeletion requests, and noticeboards. To do so, simply add four tildes (~~~~) at the end of your comments. Your user name or IP address (if you are not logged in) and a timestamp will then automatically be added when you save your comment. Signing your comments helps people to find out who said something and provides them with a link to your user/talk page (for further discussion).
