Files uploaded by Fabriciofffs

These files were created and uploaded by Fabriciofffs (talk · contribs), who submitted them for an unspecified contest. When he repented, way past the 7 days grace, he started to falsify the licensing metadata of his own files, which eventually led to the deletion of some. Please restore all of his files with their original licensing terms.

Some shall also be marked with {{Published|small=yes|legal=no|url=https://www.viajali.com.br/motivos-para-conhecer-caverna-do-maroaga-e-gruta-da-judeia/|accessdate=3 May 2018}}

 Support. I agree with @Usien6: . Apparently the user did not read properly the rules of contest, not won the prize and now wants to delete the photos. But, our licenses are very clear: "By saving changes, you agree to the Terms of Use, and you irrevocably agree to release your contribution under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 license and the GFDL. You agree that a hyperlink or URL is sufficient attribution under the Creative Commons license.". EVinente (talk) 17:07, 3 May 2018 (UTC)
@Usien6: Most, maybe all, of them contain copyright information that according to our rules should be explained via OTRS permission; see Commons:Deletion requests/Files_ uploaded by Fabriciofffs.  Oppose unless we get such a permission, which is unlikely. Ankry (talk) 11:33, 6 May 2018 (UTC)
@Ankry: "BELO HORIZONTE" is actually a Brazilian city. The sixth largest one, in fact. There was, more than obviously, a technical mishandling of metadata. All of his uploads were created by a single person: himself. Att --Usien6 (talk · contribs) 14:21, 7 May 2018 (UTC)
I said the same about BELO HORIZONTE here, but Yann ignored me. @Usien6: please, link to Commons resources wherever possible. Wikipedia has too much publicity nowadays. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 07:21, 9 May 2018 (UTC)
Well, there was some uncertainty, that's why I created a DR, and Jcb seems to agree, as he deleted the files. There were not many comments in the DR. More opinions would be useful. Now if there is a (near) consensus that this was a technical mishandling of metadata, as Usien6 suggests above, I am fine with restoration. Regards, Yann (talk) 08:15, 9 May 2018 (UTC)
@Yann: I see you have administrator rights and should therefore be able to inspect deleted files. Would you mind checking if any of the aforementioned photos were taken by either a Canon/Canon PowerShot SX50 HS or a SONY/DSC-H55 ??

This photo was earlier published here without clear evidence of CC-BY-SA-4.0 license. We need an evidence from the photographer that they wish it published under the specified free license. Either at the initial publication site or via OTRS. As the file was already published prior to upload to Wikimedia Commons, the uploader license declaration is not enough.Ankry (talk) 20:09, 29 June 2018 (UTC)

@Erikven96: That message concerns File:Tatiana Gelfand.jpg, and was sent by Patrick Rogel, who can be reached via User talk:Patrick Rogel. It appears that Patrick's concern is that the file is low-resolution, has no EXIF metadata, and is attributed to the subject without mention of a timer. These are all classic hallmarks of the copyright violations we see here on a daily basis. So who is the real photographer? Can you upload the high-resolution original version with intact EXIF metadata? Did you get it directly from the subject, or from https://i.vimeocdn.com/portrait/4838176_640x640.webp ? Also, what is that text you put at File:2015 Tatiana Gelfand.jpg?   — Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me 02:27, 29 June 2018 (UTC)

Hi Jeff,

Thank you for your response. I am brand new to Wikipedia and I am having a very hard time figuring out how this thing works from this side. So the picture was taken by Tatiana herself in her studio, and was given to me to be used in the article I am trying to create about her. (she's a theatrical and film director/playwright) This may not be the original pic, but this is what she gave me. The resolution is 640x640 and this is the only version I have, and I think it's perfectly enough for this particular purpose. If this is a problem I am sure she has other pics that are higher res. As for the EXIF metadata, I have no idea what that is, I have no programming experience and I don't even understand most of the language used here. Like even though I understand the individual words, I have no idea what "attributed to the subject without mention of a timer" actually means. I thought Wikipedia was for anyone to work with, who can use a computer. The text I copy/pasted into the description field was what I thought to be a copyright release text which popped up when I looked at this message thread earlier yesterday. In my desperate attempt to make sense of any of this I thought that it was the text I was required to put in the description field to save it from being deleted. So far it hasn't been deleted, which made me think it worked. I was trying to read the help files and the tutorials but when I didn't understand even the first two sentences, I have decided to go by trial and error, which is very frustrating and time consuming. I'm sure I'll figure it out eventually.

Thank you for your comment, and if you have any advice on how I can make the vigilant protectors of Wikipedia believe that I am not infringing on anyone sacred birthrights, I'd love to hear it.

File:N4A.jpg

Per file description, the file depicts the armband of en:New_Fourth_Army, which was used by this army between Oct 12 1937 and Jan 23 1947. Per Article 33 of Copyright Act of Republic of China and Article 21 of Copyright Law of People's Republic of China, the copyright of this work expired on Dec 31 1987, which meets {{PD-1996}} and {{PD-China}}. --WQL (talk) 08:27, 30 June 2018 (UTC)

File:Flag of the Cayman Islands.svg

This deletion was obviously a wrong one: The arguments presented there apply for every insignia (which sometimes includes, in some countries like India also the national flag), as these must not be used without authorization of the respective body - regularly people are fined for using the CoA of the home town in ads. That is why we have Template:Coat of Arms and Template:Insignia (which are unfortunately not used in every file description. So please restore the file and add the warning templates.--Antemister (talk) 08:54, 1 July 2018 (UTC)

@Jeff: I saw, but this is not really a solution, using a low-quality sketch instead (which, BTW, is covered by the same restrictions.--Antemister (talk) 21:43, 1 July 2018 (UTC)
This Twemoji file seems to be unfree. At least I couldn't any such CC licence at the source. De728631 (talk) 15:43, 1 July 2018 (UTC)
  •  Support Clearly a flawed decision to delete this file. The Cayman Islands Government has simply issued a reminder that its devices should not be misappropriated for profit by commercial businesses, which is the position of most governments in the world. There is no implication from the Cayman authorities that their flag or CoA should not be used for identification or illustrative purposes, which would simply be madness. The press report quoted in the original deletion request has clearly been misunderstood, and also greatly exaggerated. Timothy Titus (talk) 13:40, 1 July 2018 (UTC)
  •  Support Heraldry may traditionally be redrawn by anyone following the public domain blazon, i.e. the heraldic description of the arms. The individual depiction of the first upload was also PD as outlined at the Sodipodi.com page at that time. Also, the {{Insignia}} disclaimer was in place at the file page when the DR was filed, so I don't see any reason to not undelete the image. De728631 (talk) 15:43, 1 July 2018 (UTC)
  •  Support I uploaded the Twemoji file (and redirected the flag link to it) as a temporary stopgap simply because there was no other SVG alternative available on Commons. The way that the flag had been deleted without leaving at least a placeholder despite being used by so many articles was in my view quite irresponsible. I have tried to revert the damage caused by delinking bots, but have only been able to revert the majority of changes on the English Wikipedia and Commons. The coat of arms should also be restored. --RaviC (talk) 16:08, 1 July 2018 (UTC)

I literally took these photos and compiled them. I OWN THIS AND UPLOADED IT CORRECTLY. Why was it deleted??? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Roland311 (talk • contribs) 16:55, 2 July 2018 (UTC)

Joke answer: it’s just an example. Serious answer: perhaps this user made an immense progress since their 2010 achievements, but deletion of the last upload demonstrates that the image was not “uploaded correctly”. The necessary correction work is evidently incomplete. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 17:26, 2 July 2018 (UTC)
Roland311, if this is about File:Adult Cicada Emerging from Nymph Skin.jpg, then it was deleted because the same image can be found at [2], where it's credited to Jim DeWitt and lacks a free license. If you really did take this photo, then you should provide evidence via COM:OTRS that it is yours and that you intend to release it under a free license. clpo13(talk) 17:40, 2 July 2018 (UTC)

File:Ethiopian Mapping Agency.png

This is a simple logo of a government agency and is in the public domain. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Turtlewong (talk • contribs) 18:13, 30 June 2018 (UTC)

Please see Commons:Copyright rules by territory#Ethiopia and clarify why this image is public domain. Please respond within 24 hours. Thuresson (talk) 22:02, 30 June 2018 (UTC)
Part 1 article 5 of Copyright and Neighboring Rights Protection Proclamation No. 410/2004 states that "any official text of a legislative, administrative or legal nature, as well as official translations thereof" shall not be protected. As this the logo of an administrative agency of the Ethiopian government it is not protected. Furthermore, part 2 articles 11-13 state that the owner of copyright cannot forbid reproduction for teaching, by libraries, archives and similar institutions as well as reproduction, broadcasting and other communication to the public for information purpose. As the logo's use on the Ethiopian Mapping Agency page falls under the protection of these articles it is in the public domain. Turtlewong (talk) 14:54, 1 July 2018 (UTC)
 Oppose As I understand this, the exception is only valid for the text part of official documents whereas images included in such text are still copyrighted. The logo is original enough for copyright protection too, so it is not exempt. As to the reproduction for teaching etc., at Commons we require our uploads to be free for anyone for any purpose anywhere and not just for educational use at Wikipedia. This includes commercial reuse of derivatives which is also not allowed by Ethopian copyright law without permission from the copyright holder. De728631 (talk) 16:11, 1 July 2018 (UTC)
Then how is it possible that the logos of other Ethiopian organizations to be already present on the Commons? For example, Ethiopian airlines or football teams. I think a precedent has been set to allow this. Turtlewong (talk) 17:08, 1 July 2018 (UTC)
If other logos of the same type are available at Commons they need to be checked for possible copyright violations too. For logos in particular you cannot make a general precedence since every logo is different. Every graphic has to be judged individually in terms of complexity and age. File:Ethiopian Airlines Logo.svg is too simple to be copyrighted, and e.g. File:St George SC (logo).png is not hosted at Commons but at the English Wikipedia under a fair use rationale. Commons does not allow fair use content thouth. De728631 (talk) 17:34, 1 July 2018 (UTC)

Files uploaded by Mariamnath contreras

Good faith uploads of Venezuelan locations, deletion request here. Uploader commented, although in Spanish, that the pictures belonged to her personal travel photographs and that she intended to continue uploading them to Commons. She explicitly said how worried she was about the massive deletion nomination since the uploads were a contribution to the growth of images of Venezuela and Latin America; she even admitted that only one of the pictures was not of her authorship (File:JoséDelgadoCcs.jpg) and that she intended to follow any instructions needed to maintain the images. Because of this, users White Master and Talueses did not support the deletion, but the files were deleted nevertheless.

The user that deleted the images opened yet another request with eight files more, this time about a Wikimedia event. Wikimedia Venezuela's executive director had to confirm that the authorship what hers and several members of the chapter intervene, expressing their frustation over the previous deletion. I know this happened last year, but I learned about the Undeletion requests months later and I've lately been more involved with administrative tasks, both in Commons as in other wikis, so I guessed it wasn't too late to ask for an undeletion. Users involved in the previous requests can be pinged if needed. --Jamez42 (talk) 00:26, 1 July 2018 (UTC)

  • 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). Thank you.   — Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me 22:55, 1 July 2018 (UTC)
For images like this we need a permission by email coming directly from the copyright holder of the poster. This is usually the original artist or the production company of a TV series.

Hi, I would like to ask to undelete File:Znak SLeK.png. I work in Slovak chamber of pharmacists and we would like to have our logo and some others photos on Wikipedia page that I wrote.

Túrelio alledged that no proof of release info public domain was submitted. That is incorrect, I proved both that hulu owns the rights to the footage [3] and that they released it into the public domain (GIPHY) [4]. (((TPG))) (stalk) 22:26, 2 July 2018 (UTC)

  •  Oppose Public domain means that the copyright has expired, or that the copyright holder explicitly waived copyright. This is not the same as simply making something available for the public to view and download. Please read Commons:Licensing. Guanaco (talk) 22:57, 2 July 2018 (UTC)

@Guanaco: The copyright holder uploaded it to GIPHY, a site whose main purpose is to promote file sharing. If that's not "uploading to the public domain", what is? (((TPG))) (stalk) 08:10, 3 July 2018 (UTC)

@That's Pretty Good: When content is uploaded to Giphy, the uploader licenses it to Giphy as per section 3 of their terms of use. Unlike the Creative Commons licenses used here, this agreement is only between the uploader and Giphy. "You hereby do and shall grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual, royalty-free, fully paid, transferable, sublicensable right to use, modify, reproduce, distribute, prepare derivative works of, display, perform and otherwise fully exploit such User Content (including all related intellectual property rights) in connection with the Services and our business." If it read "everyone" rather than "us", this would be acceptable for Commons.
In section 4, we see the following: "We and our licensors own and retain all proprietary rights in the Services. [...] Except for content that is in the public domain or content that you have permission to use in connection with your use of the Services and in compliance with these Terms of Service, you shall not copy, modify, publish, transmit, distribute, perform, or display any content, nor shall you sell, license, rent, or otherwise use or exploit any content for commercial use or in any way that violates any third party right."
Typical use of Giphy beyond this, such as sharing their GIFs on Facebook or Twitter, would generally be considered fair use, but we can't accept fair use content on Commons. We can only accept content which anyone can use even commercially.
To directly answer your question, "uploading to the public domain" requires the copyright holder to use specific language, such as {{Cc-zero}} or {{PD-self}}. Guanaco (talk) 08:51, 3 July 2018 (UTC)
  •  Not done Uploading content at a file-sharing site does not automatically transfer it into the public domain. This requires an explicit statement which in this case could not be found. Moreover, there is no evidence that this user Hulu at GIPHY was in a legal position to share the clip. Instead, it seems to have been a copyright infringement from the beginning.

As I am the one that uploaded the image to IMDB, I'm pretty sure that I have the rights to use it on Wikipedia with rights to distribution. This image was provided by Rebecca Massey (the one portrait in the photo), and she has the rights to do distribute the photo as she sees fit.

I hope this decision is reverted.

--Tchelow (talk) 02:09, 4 July 2018 (UTC)

 Oppose Copyright is usually not held by the person depicted in a photograph but by the original photographer. So Rebecca Massey would not be able to grant free licenses for this image unless a formal assignment was made between her and the photographer.

@Pogga D:
First, please note, that according to wikimedia project rules, you accept that any text you publish here can be used by anybody for any purpose. And you cannot revoke this permission. So publishing personal data, especially not yours is not smart.
Second, the above is one of reasons why such a permission cannot be accepted and verified on-wiki. We use OTRS system for that; see COM:OTRS.
Third, the above-mentioned permission is not a free license as required by Wikimedia Commons rules. It does not allnow anybody to use this image for any purpose, does not explicitely allow commercial reuse and derivative work creation.
Fourth, in contrary to your words, nothing has been explained on the image description page: the "Permission" field was empty. It should contain either a link to a publicly available permission or an OTRS ticket information. Any of milions Wikimedia users can raise doubts, if the copyright information there is incomplete.
In the case of miniatures permissions from both: the painter and the photographer are required.

Hallo,

ich habe vor einem Monat dieses Foto eines Gemäldes in Absprache mit der Künstlerin lizensiert. Frau Wieland hatte ihrerseits den Fotografen kontaktiert, der nichts gegen eine Lizensierung einzuwenden hatte. Frau Wieland fragt nun nach dem Stand der Dinge. Ich würde ihr gerne positiv antworten, habe aber leider keine Antwort von euch in meinem Posteingang. Wie sieht es hier aus?

Vielen Dank und viele Grüße,

Tim Lehmacherstim (talk) 10:37, 7 July 2018 (UTC)

Hi Tim, was genau hast du gemacht? Eine Genehmigungsmail der Künstlerin an permissions-commons-de@wikimedia.org geschickt? Das hättest du tun müssen. Da unsere Ehrenamtler, die sich um Genehmigungen kümmern, aber völlig überarbeitet sind, kann die Bearbeitung durchaus ein paar Monate dauern. Allerdings erhältst du kurz nach Einsenden der Genehmigung eine Bestätigungsmail mit der Ticket-Nummer. --Túrelio (talk) 10:44, 7 July 2018 (UTC)

Ich genehmige somit in urheberrechtlicher Hinsicht Dritten das Recht, das Bild (auch kommerziell oder gewerblich) zu nutzen und zu verändern, sofern sie die Lizenzbedingungen wahren. Mir ist bekannt, dass ich diese Einwilligung üblicherweise nicht widerrufen kann. Mir ist bekannt, dass sich die freie Lizenzierung nur auf das Urheberrecht sowie verwandte Rechte bezieht und es mir daher unbenommen ist, aufgrund anderer Gesetze (Persönlichkeitsrecht, Markenrecht usw.) gegen Dritte vorzugehen, die das Bild im Rahmen der freien Lizenz rechtmäßig, auf Grund anderer Gesetze aber unrechtmäßig nutzen. Gleichwohl erwerbe ich keinen Anspruch darauf, dass das Bild dauerhaft in Wikipedia oder einem ihrer Schwesterprojekte eingestellt wird.

@FDRudd1984: I can assure you that nothing illegal has happened here, and we haven't been hacked. The issue concerns our strict licensing policy. When an image is previously published on another site, as these were, we require evidence that the original creator agrees to the license. There are essentially two types of evidence we'll accept.

File:Dagmar and alexandra.jpg

This photo was nominated to deletion as "new colored version". Probably it was assumed that a colored 19 century photo means photoshop. In fact, the original photographer Carl Bergamasco (1830-1896) is well known for his coloring work (see [8]: "в основном снимавшим портреты, для "оживления" раскрашенные акварелью." - "mostly took portraits, hand-colored for livelyness with watercolors"). The coloring style looks more like his other color works e.g. File:Alexandra_Iosifovna_of_Russia_by_C.Bergamasco_(1867).jpg than computer manipulation, therefore it can be assumed that the photo was colored by Bergamasco. --M5 (talk) 14:59, 10 July 2018 (UTC)

While I can see your explanation reasonable, the colour version should never be uploaded oved the B&W version: these are different images. I would rather suggest uploading it under another name.
I have restored the B&W photo as its deletion was never considered in the DR (it was clearly deleted by mistake). Ankry (talk) 15:19, 10 July 2018 (UTC)

File:PM meets CMs of Northeastern states ahead of NITI Aayog meeting (15870511693).jpg

Image in question is a lower resolution copy of an image published by Press Information Bureau (description page, direct link), which can be used under {{GODL-India}}. —Gazoth (talk) 03:43, 11 July 2018 (UTC)

 Question Why even store the low resolution image here? Ankry (talk) 13:57, 11 July 2018 (UTC)
The image was used to create several derivative works, such as File:Mukul Sangma.jpg, File:PM meets CMs of Northeastern states ahead of NITI Aayog meeting (15870511693) (cropped).jpg, File:Nabam Tuki.png and File:Nabam Tuki (cropped).jpg.

I do not think we should upload a Flickr version; rather the one from Governement site to prove copyright status. Ankry (talk) 21:19, 11 July 2018 (UTC)
If you think that uploading the Press Information Bureau image as a new file and tagging all the derivatives as extracted images of the new file is a better choice, I don't have any objections to that. I felt that the retagging of older files as derivatives of a newer file could be avoided through undeletion. —Gazoth (talk) 23:23, 11 July 2018 (UTC)

File:David-Six-by-Theresa-Pewal.jpg.jpg

Hello! This photograph that I took got deleted several times (it seems) and as I'm the owner I wasn't sure what I did do wrong. I'd be happy if this photograph could be part of "David Six, pianist and composer". I also wanted to add a second one, same problems here. Best wishes, Theresa

PS: I even could not upload it here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Theresapewal (talk • contribs) 20:26, 11 July 2018 (UTC)

  1. reuploading deleted files without prior resolving of the deletion reason is a serious violation of Wikimedia Commons rules.
  2. the original site states: "All of my images are under Copyright Theresa Pewal. They may not be reproduced, downloaded, or processed in any way without prior written permission from the copyright holder." which is not a free license
  3. we cannot and may not identify who the wiki user is: anybody is anonymous here. So proving CC license for this photo requires a reference to the theresapewalartistportraits.com site that states so. Claims of free license just by a wiki user (regardless which wiki user claims so) cannot be reliable.
  4. alternatively you cano prove that you are Theresa Pewal, the photographer OR Theresa Pewal can provide a free license for this photo providing it to Wikimedia ORTS using @theresapewal.com email address. See more info in COM:OTRS. But note, that this is a slower way than the one above.
 Oppose at the moment. Please apply one of the the procedures described above. Ankry (talk) 21:13, 11 July 2018 (UTC)

However, the photo in question was very similar (professional portrait, same person), to the two other images uploaded by this user with "Chris Raymond" in the title.

File:Elliottsommer.jpg

In the deletion request it was concluded that some files by this uploader were indeed by him (and in scope), and this would seem to be one as well; it's still on English Wikipedia, where it's used in an article. —innotata 00:14, 10 July 2018 (UTC)

Unsure. the image is low resolution, so I share Sritau's doubts concernig original uploader authorship claim. And I doubt it is usable outside English Wikipedia. Why not leave it there? Ankry (talk) 17:43, 10 July 2018 (UTC)
Low resolution is not in and of itself a reason to doubt authorship, especially for images from 13 years ago when it was common for ordinary consumers to reduce file size unnecessarily. There doesn't seem to be any reason beyond that to doubt the explicitly stated authorship claim. And since there's an English Wikipedia article on the subject (that has been kept after an AfD), it's in scope. (Something of an aside, but as there are many ways in which having all free images on the central repository is helpful, for example use in Wikidata, I don't think suggesting leaving free images on Wikipedia makes sense here.) —innotata 23:26, 10 July 2018 (UTC)

File:MatPatHeadshot.jpg was uploaded by one of his employees

The file was uploaded by user Ctheorist (talk) who is Chris Widin from the Game Theorists team.

Request temporary undeletion

This is useful photo used in several Wikipedias. I understand it must be deleted, and agree with the decision. However, it would be helpful if another 3 days were provided. With this much time I could upload a derivative image where the Astérix figure is only partly drawn. Thank you. Ariadacapo (talk) 15:25, 13 July 2018 (UTC)

  •  Oppose @Jeff G.: According to the copyright laws of the Republic of Serbia, the copyright for the recording of a show has the main and responsible editing of those shows and through it the television station, and the very subject that participated in that television show. In this case, they are television Pink and academician Miloš Ćorlomanović. No photographers and cameramen have any copyright to such recordings, because according to the law of the Republic of Serbia on copyright, photographers and cameramen are only workers in televisions who professionally carry out their work, unless they themselves are editors of some shows or newspaper articles. So I was told that this photo was created directly in the screenplay of the player's system in the personal computer of the academician Miloša Ćorlomanović from the recording of the show in which he was a guest and for which, as the subject who participated in the show, according to the copyright laws of the Republic of Serbia all the rights to own this image and, consequently, the photographs that come out of it through the screenshots.

Suitcasesub: The issue is that accounts here are anonymous, so anyone can claim to represent any company. Therefore, e-mail verification is required.
File:Logo NIKE.svg and File:Apple logo black.svg are a different story, because they're deemed too simple to be eligible for copyright protection in their country of origin, as explained on the file descriptions.
Finally: Nike and Apple aren't "using their own logos on Wikipedia". Their logos are being used in articles about those companies.

please advise on how this can be permanently uploaded.

18/7/2018--Ginjit (talk) 12:21, 18 July 2018 (UTC)

@Ginjit: Please have the photographer send us a license release, using the form at COM:CONSENT. Once we have received and processed the email, we will undelete the photo. Please do not re-upload it. Guanaco (talk) 12:37, 18 July 2018 (UTC)

Hello,

This is a photograph of me. The photographer has given explicit permission to use this image in all mediums including for use on Wikipedia and all other websites and search engines. I can forward an email from him confirming this if necessary. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Francescalia (talk • contribs) 14:41, 18 July 2018 (UTC)

File:Brooke-Lierman-Headshot.jpg

This is Delegate Lierman's official publicity headshot and is used in her MD general assembly photo. It is in the public domain and should be the image used on her page.

--Dvrkstr (talk) 16:31, 18 July 2018 (UTC)

 Oppose @Dvrkstr: What makes you think "It is in the public domain"? Who put it there? Please have the photographer send permission via OTRS with a copy to you.   — Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me 17:20, 18 July 2018 (UTC)
@Jeff G.: Delegate Lierman's page on the MSA site, like all materials on that site, is public domain. See the image on that site here.. FWIW, I handled communications for the Delegate during the 2018 Primary, and she has explicitly asked that that image be used. We can get permission from the photog if necessary, but it's my understanding that she purchased the license to the photograph and then released it back after she won her first primary (though my timeline may be off on the "when") in 2014. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dvrkstr (talk • contribs) 21:02, 18 July 2018 (UTC)
 Oppose @Drvrkstr: How do you know that it is in the public domain when it was uploaded by User:Blierman claiming to own the copyright? Is there a connection between you and Blierman that the community should know about? Exif data has "(c) 2012 William Moree", which may or may not be professional photographer Bill Moree.

@Jcb: Please don't undelete images that are dated earlier than May 2014. w:Narendra Modi became India's prime minister only by the end of May 2014. Until then, his Flickr account was used for images that are probably owned by government of Gujarat or his political party, Bharatiya Janata Party. For example, File:Advertisment of Mobile application for India272+ launched by Narendra Modi.jpg is an image created for his prime ministerial campaign, while File:Narendra Modi meeting the visiting French business delegation to Gujarat 2.jpg seems to be an image taken for government of Gujarat. {{GODL-India}} will not be applicable to these images as they were not created by an agency of Government of India. —Gazoth (talk) 04:07, 21 July 2018 (UTC)
I propose that we first complete undeletion of the whole series so that everybody can see all details and that after that a list can be made of files that should be deleted again.

Yes, that works too. —Gazoth (talk) 06:20, 21 July 2018 (UTC)
Gazoth, here we can see NDSAP/GODL is applicable to works by states too. Some states already appointed their Chief Data Officers for State too. For works by BJP, permission (CC license; not GODL) from the operator of that Flickr stream may be enough. Jee 12:47, 21 July 2018 (UTC)
@Jkadavoor: NDSAP defines the scope of policy as follows (emphasis mine):

The National Data Sharing and Accessibility Policy will apply to all data and information created, generated, collected and archived using public funds provided by Government of India directly or through authorized agencies by various Ministries / Departments / Organizations / Agencies and Autonomous bodies.

GODL-India also has a similar restriction (emphasis mine):

Following the mandate of the National Data Sharing and Accessibility Policy (NDSAP) of Government of India that applies to all shareable non-sensitive data available either in digital or analog forms but generated using public funds by various agencies of the Government of India[...]

Considering this wording, data officers at state level might have been appointed to handle data from projects that are partially or fully funded by the Government of India. The implementation guide extends the scope of NDSAP to include the states too but due to a lack of such a mention in both GODL-India and NDSAP, I don't think that it is a good idea to apply GODL-India to works by the state governments without explicit licensing such as in data.gov.in For works by BJP, I think a new discussion is required since the discussion so far has been restricted to undeleting GoI images under GODL-India. —Gazoth (talk) 14:44, 21 July 2018 (UTC)
Agree. Jee 14:55, 21 July 2018 (UTC)

All files have been restored by Yann and myself. Please feel free to re-nominate any file if GODL-India does not apply. I have left all the files in the GODL-India review category. Jcb (talk) 17:14, 21 July 2018 (UTC)

David Frawley asked me to update his picture as the current Wikipedia picture is from 2007. He asked me to do this through email and supplied the image which was a transfer of the picture to me to have copyright to post the picture into the commons. Obviously, as the picture is transferred into the commons, David Frawley understands there is no copyright on the picture. David Frawley is personally aware of this and asked me to do this as his agent. It was he that notified me that the picture had been taken down. So there is no copyright violation and David Frawley is aware of and requested the updated image to be used.

This applies to a number of related images - they should have been bundled as a request, not listed individually.
See Commons:Deletion requests/File:Jaime Pieras Jr.jpg et al. Although why a DR was closed so precipitously is a question for the closing admin, not me.
The problem is, they're not in the public domain. These are paintings, with the copyright held by the artist.

Commons:Deletion requests/File:William Henry Holt.jpg
One might question why the body commissioning these paintings didn't agree a broader licence with the artist, but the clear fact is that they didn't, and that much is beyond our control. Andy Dingley (talk) 09:20, 22 July 2018 (UTC)
I have consolidated the request. This is an odd situation, then. The individual pages for the judges contain no copyright notice for the images, while the default for images is that they are in the public domain, and exceptions should therefore be accompanied by a notice wherever they are displayed by the government. The solution here should be to temporarily restore the images and then transfer them to Wikipedia, where they can be hosted as fair use images for illustrating the specific articles to which they are relevant. BD2412 T 13:15, 22 July 2018 (UTC)
The individual pages for the judges contain no copyright notice for the images
Why would they? Judges don't have any particular copyright status when images are made of them.
The image pages here on Commons did have an explicit statement that these were the artist's copyright, with a link to the copyright warning listed above. It doesn't get much clearer than that.
the default for images is that they are in the public domain
No, of course not.
they can be hosted as fair use images
As living subjects, they would fail en:WP:NFCC#1.
Andy Dingley (talk) 19:26, 22 July 2018 (UTC)
Per the U.S. Government describing the copyright status of U.S. Government Works:

United States government creative works, including writing, images, and computer code, are usually prepared by officers or employees of the United States government as part of their official duties. A government work is generally not subject to copyright in the United States and there is generally no copyright restriction on reproduction, derivative works, distribution, performance, or display of a government work. Unless the work falls under an exception, anyone may, without restriction under U.S. copyright laws:

  • Reproduce the work in print or digital form
  • Create derivative works
  • Perform the work publicly
  • Display the work
  • Distribute copies or digitally transfer the work to the public by sale or other transfer of ownership, or by rental, lease, or lending
For works presented by the U.S. government on its portals, the presumption plainly outlined by the U.S. Government itself is that these will be in the public domain, unless an exception is present. As for what the pages on Commons said prior to deletion, non-admins here can not see that. As for "living subjects", Jaime Pieras Jr., Raymond L. Acosta, and Salvador E. Casellas are all deceased. BD2412 T 19:50, 22 July 2018 (UTC)
 Oppose The exception is clearly present at this gallery page: "IMPORTANT: These images are copyrighted material." The link below the disclaimer goes to the painter's website where you can find a specific page on this portrait series. To sum it up: these paintings were not made by government employees in the course of their regular work, but they were a work-for-hire by an independent artist and are therefore copyrighted.

File:Bob_Stefanowski_Headshot.png

To whom it may concern,

I uploaded a profile shot of Bob Stefanowski, candidate for Governor of Connecticut in 2018, which was taken down twice now. The reason I am appealing the deletion request is that Patrick Trueman, owner of the image, sent this email to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org releasing the media for use to Wikimedia:

I hereby affirm that I, Patrick Trueman, am the creator and/or sole owner of the exclusive copyright of the media work https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Bob_Stefanowski_Headshot.png.

I am aware that this agreement is not limited to Wikipedia or related sites. I am aware that the copyright holder always retains ownership of the copyright as well as the right to be attributed in accordance with the license chosen. Modifications others make to the work will not be claimed to have been made by the copyright holder. I acknowledge that I cannot withdraw this agreement, and that the content may or may not be kept permanently on a Wikimedia project.

Patrick Trueman 2018-07-17

According to the verified Facebook campaign page, Patrick Trueman is the owner of the page and content, and is publicly listed as a team member. https://www.facebook.com/bobforgovernor/

Given this, I was hoping you could consider my undeletion request with the above release.

Thank you!

Best,

I received a message from editor "Araisyohei‬" that a file I upload several years ago has been deleted due to a license issue. The issue stated there's a copyright violation from the page:

however, I took this picture myself and uploaded it to Wikipedia long before this makeleaps site took it from Wikipedia. I am the president of moboff inc., a coworking place in Tokyo, and this picture is a picture of my office. The site is moboff.co.jp, and my email address there is nico@moboff.co.jp

For this photo to be accepted on Wikimedia Commons, we need a free license release from the Copyright holder. Normally, the copyright holder is the photographer, not a person appearing in the photo, unless the photographer is an employee or has transferred copyright by contract.
We do not accept forwarded permissions from third parties. Only the photographer and copyright holder can grant a free license, by using this Wikimedia OTRS release generator to send permission to the "OTRS" desk:

Hi,

I don't understand why you deleted the photo. I published a link of a website where I found it as a source of this photo. Why are you deleting a historical photo if there is no way to identify the photographer?

It is the first and the last time I am trying to edit an article about my family member here, and I want him to have a face here on Wikipedia.

Please republish the photo. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Akinerov (talk • contribs) 17:40, 23 July 2018 (UTC)

 Oppose The photo was deleted because you did not provide any information on its copyright status. Judging from this blog, it was taken in 1974 but although the photographer is not mentioned, this does not mean that the image was published anonymously before. Even if an image is seemingly "historic", that does not mean that it is already out of copyright. In Poland and the rest of the EU, copyright for photos where the photographer is known lasts for the life of the photographer plus 70 years.

However, photographs made by Polish photographers published without a clear copyright notice before May 1994 are actually not copyrighted ({{PD-Polish}}). As there is a good chance that the photographer was in fact Polish, we need to know when this was published for the first time and whether there was a copyright notice. De728631 (talk) 18:18, 23 July 2018 (UTC)

 Oppose evidence of pre 1989 publication (with date) is needed in order to restore the photo as {{PD-Poland}}. Otherwise, it is copyrighted in US (if anonymously published) 95 years since the first publication. Ankry (talk) 13:04, 24 July 2018 (UTC)

Hi there. I am requesting the undeletion of the File:Michael Jeffrey Aminoff.jpg The copyright is owned by the subject Michael Aminoff and he has sent an email to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org releasing rights to wikipedia for use on their site. I will forward the release email from my email account as well, if this is what is needed.

Here is a copy of Michael Aminoff's statement. In connection with the above-referenced matter, I purchased the copyright of my portrait from RCL Portrait Design and I am the sole rights holder. Please see attached copyright notice. I am happy to give permission for Wikipedia to use my photograph on its site. It was uploaded by Wikipedia user UnivacTechDweeb.

Thank you

Michael J. Aminoff

He also included an attachment in his email to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org showing proof that Michael Aminoff has purchased copyright to the photograph and RCL Portrait Designs has released copyright to him.

Let me know what further needs to be done. Thanks.

File:Hangzhou Metro logo.svg

Please restore the following pages:

Reason: To upload it is that I found the same file on the top of Hangzhou Metro in English Wikipedia seems to be able to use in English one only(I found no way to link to it otherwise), therefore the re-upload is to make it to be used in other projects, especially Chinese Wikipedia. Hope it can be restored.

@Jeff G.: Actually I want to use it in bus route pages (zh:杭州公交151路) to illustrate transfer information in a much clear way...without any text to tell "metro" to readers. However it has been done with a generally-used underground logo at present, that would be more appropriate than what I intended to. :) Yours sincerely Vaykaaris (talk) 03:14, 30 July 2018 (UTC)Vaykaaris

File:Ignacio Peña 2017 Emmy.jpg

Hello there,

I am the current administrator for Ignacio Peña's English and Spanish Wikipedia pages.

Several of the images I have uploaded over the last year, have been deleted because I didn't specify copyright status of the image.

That was my mistake, I thought I had used the CC0 1.0 Universal Public Domain Dedication for all of them.

All images are owned by Ignacio Peña himself and I have received instructions to place them in Commons under that copyright status.

Please undelete all of the following:

 Oppose If the copyright is not held by you, we need a permission by email coming directly from the copyright holder. Please see COM:OTRS for instructions. Note also that there are no dedicated "administrators" for Wikipedia pages. Wikipedia can be edited by anyone. If you get paid for working with these articles and images, you must disclose your affiliation, employer or client either on your user page, on the article talk pages or in edit summaries.

@Jeff G.: Hi Jeff, Ignacio is an artist I have volunteered to help, I don't get paid for administrating his Wikipedia pages. He just prefers someone actually keeps an eye on what's being added to it, to make it as consistent and correct as any other artist's Wikipedia page. I do have a letter written and signed by him, giving me authorization to upload all images he owns and provides for the page, releasing them as Public Domain for Commons' purposes. Where can I send this letter to, or to what email do I ask him to send it to? Thanks, Djjdy2k (talk) 01:36, 30 July 2018 (UTC)

@Djjdy2k: For already published or profesional works (like in this case) a written permission directly from the author (artist) following COM:OTRS is required. There is no simple and fast way to publish such images in Wikimedia Commons. Ankry (talk) 04:56, 30 July 2018 (UTC)

File:911AfghanxPoster.jpg

Please restore the following pages:

Reason: The file is produced by military, paid for by public tax payers of multiple countries through NATO contributions, and is a part of historical content. Any look-alike of the image would not be a fair representation of history. Since it has been paid for by the public taxes, no one has ever been charged a dime to see, use, reproduce, distribute the image, or denied its usage. The image have been distributed in mass fliers and has been distributed to millions of people at no cost. I highly believe there is a double standard here. I believe the image is being fairly used and is not violating any copyrighted material.

Please be fair. Rs21867 (talk) 23:10, 29 July 2018 (UTC)

@Rs21867: Which country is the initial publication country for this poster and which exactly statement in copyright law of this country do you refer to? We have to respect the copytight law regardless whether it is fair or unfair. Ankry (talk) 05:21, 30 July 2018 (UTC)
