The image can be published under the Template:PD-Iran license.--Mbazri (talk) 12:22, 31 December 2018 (UTC)

@Gone Postal: Unfortunately, I don't have any information about the photographer (creator). But per Abd-al-Hussain Borunsi, this person (Abdolhosein brunsi) has been killed in 14 March 1985 (before 34 years ago).--Mbazri (talk) 12:12, 1 January 2019 (UTC)
@Mbazri: If you look at the template {{PD-Iran}} you can see that it is the creator, and not the subject of the photograph that needs to be dead more than 30 years ago. But you knowing the date of death of the subject can make us try to figure out when to undelete. Let's use a regular 50 years + copyright term as is common on Commons for other countries (this is where 120 year rule comes from for the USA-published works). 1985 + 50 + 30 gives us 2065, so we can undelete in 2066 unless you can find a date of death of the photographer that is sooner than 50 years from 1985. ℺ Gone Postal ( ) 13:19, 1 January 2019 (UTC)

This is an old crest of a association not registred as a trademark and copyright information about their crest was not found. Therefore, the image posted is open for everyone and should not be deleted from Commons. — Preceding unsigned comment added by VitorEmanuelCarvalhoPeixoto (talk • contribs) 15:31, 31 December 2018 (UTC)

 Oppose opyright information about their crest was not found is an argument not to keep the image in Wikimedia Commons. We need either clear free license from the copyright owner (or author) or en evidence that copyright already expired. This is too complex to be not copyrightable.

Hello, When i first posted the Zastava_občine_Bloke.jpg file, i failed at chosiing the right license also i didnt know that the page www.bloke.si have © Občina Bloke, all rights reserved which means that is free of license.

Hi, I am the the person of the wiki page(Valentinos Tzekas) and I have uploaded the current picture as a copyright free material. I know the Wikimedia rules.

This file was Representative Mary Gay Scanlon's official portrait as found on her official Twitter page. This file was deleted due to insufficient proof of the file being from the federal government. However, the file was an original work posted in an official capacity by the Congresswoman herself so I don't exactly see how much more proof could be required. Furthermore, this degree of attribution has been sufficient for all other congressional portraits from this year. Westroopnerd (talk) 06:13, 5 January 2019 (UTC)

  • This is something that is a little confusing, I must agree, however, if it is a photo of her, it is not a photo by her (unless she used a timer or a remote shutter). She is a federal employee, but a photographer may not be. The funny thing is that even if the photographer has taken the photo and then transferred a copyright to her, she whould hold the copyright. The law does not prevent federal government of its employees to hold the copyright, only to generate new copyright. To muddy the waters even further, if the photographer can be considered to be an agent of the federal government, then they will not generate the copyright, but it is not by any way something automatic. If the specific photographer makes a living by taking photos for (not just of) federal government employees, and has already done so before taking this specific photo (although there are instances where the first act is also an act of the agent of the government), then you can make an argument. However, it will be very difficult to argue this case, it is significantly easier to try to either find a photo made by an employee of the federal government or go request the release under a free licence. ℺ Gone Postal ( ) 06:29, 5 January 2019 (UTC)
    • By that logic absolutely none of the congressional portraits on commons, of which there are many, should be allowed. There is indeed a federally employed congressional photographer and we've already, on SO MANY occasions, come to the conclusion that these portraits are in the public domain. For the love of God can we just get some consistency? Westroopnerd (talk) 07:28, 5 January 2019 (UTC)
      • The image is pretty clearly public domain and there’s no good reason to think otherwise. Oh well, go ahead and delete every congressional portrait if you want @Gone Postal: , since it’s pretty clear that’s what you’re going for ans the bureaucratic robots that run this place won’t stop you.

The cover was created by me. There is NO copyright issue associated with its use.

I'm still (after more than a year) trying to figure out how this place works. So please let me know what else you need to know to undelete. The Sandbox article (still has a long way to go) has plenty of links to see where the image has traveled. From 2006 to 2016, the image was an invention of an album that didn't exist. It was NEVER a product of Columbia Records. In 2016 (under the title, Gout (Remastered & Expanded)) the album was officially, independently released and became a reality... with a SIMILAR cover, but not the invention that I created back in 2006.

The cover in question has been in the Wiki Sandbox for over a year, waiting until the rest of the page could be completed. The other day, I changed a tag on the picture to include my real name instead of my band name, which for reasons I don't understand, prompted this deletion. --We're Late For Class (talk) 01:54, 29 December 2018 (UTC)J. Killins 12/28/18

If it never existed, than I would think that it has zero scope as it isn't factual but more fan fiction (even if the later release as independent release had a similar cover, because just how similar was it?). Bidgee (talk) 10:56, 30 December 2018 (UTC)

Not being an expert in copyright, this is a request for discussion.

I'll be surprised if this deletion is appropriate.

The file was my photo of my copy of the book cover, published 1928.

Doris Smith (aka Doris Ives) died in 1951. She was my grandmother.

Reason given for deletion was that date of death.

If copyright is indeed an issue here, then who would be copyright holder? Myself as her grandson?

The owner of this image, his son, and the family of Frederick A. Fox WANT to have this image in PUBLIC DOMAIN. The image was provided to Indiana University years ago to be used for publicity purposes, and has been used for that purpose many times. The image uploaded to Wikimedia Commons was scanned from the a print of the original photo; it was not copied or downloaded from an Indiana University webpage or any other webpage. Additionally, the photo has been uploaded to Flickr and tagged Public Domain.

The photographer of the image, the son of Frederick A. Fox, and the remaining family of Frederick A. Fox, hereby relinquish all claims of copyright to the uploaded image of Frederick A. Fox, and humbly request the photo be placed in the Public Domain.

 Comment Read again: 2015 was not the year for any proposed undeletion (which would have been absurd given that the DR is from 2018), but the year until which it was still protected in Italy. Which means its US copyright was revived by the URAA. So the image would still be protected in the US, most likely for a 70 years pma term as it is from 1995. --Rosenzweig τ 20:59, 5 January 2019 (UTC)

Hi, I'm new to Wikipedia Commons. My name is Wade Vagle, and I'm maintaining the website DIYwalkers.com. I recently made and uploaded a video of my walking robot Strider Ver 3. I also made a short GIF of it, which you can see on this page: https://www.diywalkers.com/strider-builds.html

Since I've decided to finally share Strider's linkage on Wikipedia, I thought I should also upload a GIF of a prototype in action. Because I created the robot, and made the video uploaded to youtube.com that was referenced in the reason for deletion, I thought I would be allowed to upload a GIF I created from the original video? If so, please undelete it. Below is the info from the deletion log.

Hallo Wikipedia Community,

Das derzeitige Bild auf der Wikipedia Seite zum Album "Schlager" ist das Vorab-Cover und entspricht deshalb nicht aktuell richtigem Zustand. Deshalb sllte das Cover dringend geändert werden.

Das File zum Album Cover "Schlager" von Vanessa, welches ich hochgeladen habe, stammt von der dazugehörigen Amazon Page zum Album und deshalb wohl frei zum verwenden. Die Quelle ist richtig angegeben.

Könntet ihr bitte die Datei wieder herstellen oder mir einen Tipp geben, wie man zukünftig das aktuelle Cover auf der Wiki Seite anzeigen lassen kann? :)

File:Logan Allred with a Flex Sealed board.jpg

All of these images, which I have full permission to use were removed (and some of them even belong to me!) Did I miss a step to show that I have full permission to use these?

These images were for an article about my friend's youtube channel (click this link to see it). He has given me full permission to use these. Some of them he gave me through Google Hangouts so they can't be found anywhere on the internet. And then a few of them belong to me.

The article is mainly meant to somewhat humorous, but it's all fact and gives info on his channel which he is perfectly fine with.

Thanks in advance.

The reason I ask for undeletion is because I work for Sias University in their News Center. The logo was designed and created by the Sias University News Center here in China. All rights and usage rights belong to Sias University and the Sias University News Center for promotional and media purposes.

Deleting the file without checking the authenticity, accuracy, and ownership of the file and uploading party is utterly incorrect.

Therefore, and henceforth, please do not delete this file as it is/was being used by the university. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Antimaqx (talk • contribs) 08:45, 11 January 2019 (UTC)

  •  Oppose As the uploader, it was your obligation to provide proper evidence that the image is in fact freely licensed. Since it is being used at the university's homepage without a free licence and we cannot verify your identity through your Wikimedia account, the deletion was justified. There are two options though to restore the image: You could either send a permission by email from your work account affiliated with Sias University (see COM:OTRS for details).

Please restore the following pages:

Reason:

The first one might be a problem depending on what exactly is meant by "reproduction", but all of these involved architecture by an architect who died in 1948. The architecture itself would now be public domain in France Abzeronow (talk) 16:46, 11 January 2019 (UTC)

Hello,

I am trying to upload my company Renfield Productions' poster for "The Movie Orgy" (directed by Renfield head honcho Joe Dante), a license-free film to which there is no copyright due to exhibition restrictions, to its Wikipedia page. We possess the only copies of "The Movie Orgy" that can be distributed. It is our film as much as it can be anybody's, because it is ultimately a freely licensed film that can only be shown for free. We have created the poster and would like to use it on the film's Wikipedia page. It was initially flagged, then I tried to re-upload it to the Wikimedia Commons, and it was subsequently flagged again. Please help!

I omitted the image's license, thinking I would be able to go back and edit it once I understood a greater deal about image permissions.

I believe the image falls under the Public domain permission, and as a result should be reinstated. The image I used of Althea Garrison, though it is not my own work, is an official portrait taken for the Boston City Council, and by a person employed by the Boston City Council as part of their official duties. I'm linking here to the full gallery of Boston councilors and their official portraits.

Though the city of Boston is not the federal government, should not the same rule apply when it comes to official portraits funded by taxpayer money?

Thank you, with my apologies for not adding the permission fast enough.

I would like to request undeletion of this file. The first time I uploaded it I messed up the license by ticking a checkbox "my own work" which led to deletion.

This photo, which was uploaded in November and used in the Toronto Fashion Week Page and elsewhere, was just now deleted because it is "all over the web." It isn't all over the web. It's cross-posted in one thread on a fashion forum, by myself (under the username "torontoman"), a Toronto-based runway photographer (Edward Shannon Pimentel Dodds, usually publishing under the name Edward Dodds or, on Pinterest, simply Pimentel), weeks after I uploaded it here. Please reverse the deletion.Pimentel94 (talk) 00:10, 15 January 2019 (UTC)

I would like to add that I've just used a reverse image search tool, and it verified that this image only appears here on WikiMedia, and then, *after* it was uploaded here, various Wikipedia "clone" sites (that's the only term I can think to use), which simply use the information and images from Wikipedia, specifically the Toronto Fashion Week Page that uses this image, use the image, as well as two forum threads. So this was deleted in error, by whatever automated algorithms you guys use. Please undelete. Thanks.Pimentel94 (talk) 00:10, 15 January 2019 (UTC)

I uploaded a file of a logo so Wikimedia has its current version. The file is the logo for the NGO World Vision. I wanted to show it in the Spanish page because it showed the old logo. Now it doesn't show any logo. The file was uploaded in December under the name World Vision.png IIRC.

I uploaded it to use for all the World Vision pages in every language despite I only used it in the Spanish one.

I'm not the creator of the media file, that's right, but I'm an employee of such organization who only want to show the correct logo. If not, please, anyone with proper rights, upload the correct logo and change it.

If there's any other proceure, just tell me, but I'm not trying to steal anybody's work, nor I'm acting with malice.

I feel Grandayy's profile picture image was taken down unfairly. I uploaded the image under Grandayy's permission via email (grande1899@gmail.com), and credited the original artist (@MentalMicrowave on Twitter) Proof of permission — Preceding unsigned comment added by Keaghannn (talk • contribs) 22:02, 12 January 2019 (UTC)

  •  Oppose A simple attribution is insufficient. Instead we need a permission by email coming from the copyright holder since there is no free licence at the YouTube profile page. Please see COM:OTRS for details. Apart from that, the Wikipedia article for Grandayy is being discussed for deletion, so there may not be any educational use for this avatar to keep it at Commons.

These photographs were taken from national autorities, not journalists or photographers and were never covered with copyrights, they're even available in the local city ​​hall and library where you can find them even exposed. Back then I selected the "I don't know" option" about the copyright, because they are simply not copyrighted, so I don't understand why they have been taken down. I even asked to the people who work in the city hall and they said it's totally legit to use those photograps. In reverse they they appreciated the initiative to create a Wikipedia page about this event.

The War Hero Book cover to undelete

Hello Wikimedia, thank you for taking the time.

I am writing to say that I give my full permission for the cover of my novel (The War Hero) to be on Wikipedia, it was recently taken down from the wiki page below. I commissioned and own the full copyright of the artwork and licensed the file to the user 'Michael Griffiths' to add to the page.

Wiki Link - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Lieber

I would very much appreciate if you could undelete the cover please.

If there is any additional information you need, please don't hesitate to ask and I'll help the best I can.

Second, for any image already published elsewhere without a free license declaration by its author, COM:OTRS permission is required. Third, uploading images by a user with no or very little contribution is out of scope and may be considered promotional (why do you think your contribution to Wikipedia to be so meaningful that other user may look for your photo?).

If the photo was taken by an anonymous photographer (as claimed), it is now in public domain. ℺ Gone Postal ( ) 00:09, 18 January 2019 (UTC)

 Support undeletion. Ankry (talk) 07:39, 18 January 2019 (UTC)

 Not done: This is a crop of the first photo shown at [7]. Accd. to them, it's taken from a coffee-table book for Nazis, "Der Führer in Weimar: 1925–1938", published in Germany in 1938. Unless someone has actually looked in the book, I'm not prepared to accept that the photographer is really not named there (as opposed to "I don't know the author" or "The website I grabbed the photo from does not name the author"). And anyway, the {{Anonymous-EU}} tag some people like to use for almost everything older than 70 years isn't in fact applicable to pre-1995 German works, because you cannot prove that the author of such a work (here: photo) was never named anywhere. --Rosenzweig τ 18:15, 18 January 2019 (UTC)

Ukrainian coats of arms

Several coats of arms from Ukraine were deleted as "no source". Ukrainian coats of arms are {{PD-UA-exempt}}, and in most cases sources are easily identifiable from local government websites. Note that sources should normally depict the same coats of arms but might be slightly different renderings (e.g. jpg instead of png, non-white background etc.)

 Question @Molgreen: Why did you suggest that OTRS permission is needed for this file? Ankry (talk) 18:29, 18 January 2019 (UTC)
@Ankry: I wanted to document the results of my research with the opening of the OTRS (see: [Ticket#2018033110001688]). (I had a lot of email traffic before uploading.) --Molgreen (talk) 19:05, 18 January 2019 (UTC)
I have no access to OTRS, so leaving this for an OTRS agent. Ankry (talk) 09:13, 19 January 2019 (UTC)
@Ankry: Do you inform an OTRS agent or should I do that? --Molgreen (talk) 10:44, 19 January 2019 (UTC)
Which one? Waiting for an agent being admin and having time to handle this (preferably the one handling this ticket). Frankly, I see no reason why OTRS should be ever involved here. But if you decided so, I cannot override this. Ankry (talk) 10:49, 19 January 2019 (UTC)

 Oppose Claiming that you are the photographer and own copyright to the photo (if you are not) is a serious violation of Commons rules. In order to undelete the photo the actual copyright owner (photographer or their heirs) needs to provide a written free license agreement or you need to prove that the photo is free of copyright in Spain and US.

@Alexis Jazz: User:The Legendary Master uploaded on 2010-03-28, User:EugeneZelenko deleted on 2010-04-06, User:Taiwania Justo requested undeletion on 2019-01-15, User:WQL imported the file from zhwiki with full history on 2019-01-19. User:Ericliu1912 did nothing with this file on Commons (all their actions were taken on zhwiki and imported here preserving the username). So you ae right, nobody deleted Ericliu1912's upload after 2019-01-19 (but the Ericliu1912's did not upload this file to Commons) and Ericliu1912's upload was nonexistent here before 2019-01-19.

 Oppose @Yurilizarazo: Another version of this photo was deleted per COM:PCP. The photo is low resolution and contains no EXIF info, so some kind of proof that it was indeed made personally by the uploaded is needed. The standard procedure is either (a) upload a full resolution photo, directly from the camera or (b) provide some other proof contacting COM:OTRS.

File:Face VVS-NUS ProfHoTeckHua-0192-Edit(HI).jpg

Hello, I would like to request an undeletion as I received permission from the National University of Singapore's communications office to use the image. The permission is shown in the attached e-mail chain, below. Please let me know if anything else is needed to undelete the image. Thank you.


Hi Rehan Thank you for your patience.

After examining the licenses that Wikipedia requires for uploading photos to WikiCommons, we have no issues with you uploading Provost’s photo onto Provost’s Wikipedia page.

So, I understand that uploading an image to WikiCommons requires a license such as one of the Creative Common (CC) licenses here, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:File_copyright_tags/All#Creative_Commons

I used https://creativecommons.org/share-your-work/ to view what each CC license entails in the list from Wikimedia above and it seems like “{{Cc-by-sa-4.0}} — Attribution-Sharealike 4.0 license.“ (link) would work well for your uses as it has an Attribution requirement and users cannot distribute work (that is based on our photo, i.e. photo of Provost) under a different license.

Perhaps this is a license you might want to consider to use for the image upload?

Warm regards Daniel

Hi Rehan I’m sorry for the delay – I’ve been working on it and working thru multiple approaches.

There seems to be a requirement to allow images to be put on some sort of creative commons license – that might be the way to go.

I’ll get back to you by tomorrow.

How are you? I just wanted to follow up on the discussion we’ve been having about adding images to WikiCommons. Have you had any luck in deciding or finding out how to proceed?

Please let me know if there is something I can help with so we can start to make NUS images available on the site.

This is from a Scottish author, w:Anna Buchan, who died in 1948. Originally published in 1912. Notable author so I don't understand why it would be considered out of scope. Abzeronow (talk) 15:21, 21 January 2019 (UTC)

If it is purely text, the text should be put on another project -- purely textual documents are normally out of scope. However if it is a scan of the 1912 edition (and .djvu documents are normally scans like that), they are the source media for Wikisource texts, and should be uploaded here (and thus scans of source documents are in scope here, as an exception to the textual documents general rule).

Jeffrey Foskett 2019.jpg

Hello, I am the social media manager for Jeffrey Foskett. I was asked by Jeffrey Foskett to edit the photo in question (to remove the ironing board) and to post this photo as his main picture for Wikipedia. Please let me know what kind of proof you need to allow this photo to be posted?

Thanks! Kim Edwards

--Kimedw (talk) 03:13, 21 January 2019 (UTC)

@Kimedw: We have COM:OTRS process just for that. Sice you are a social media manager it will be easier for you to find who was the photographer and either obtain from them copyright transfer (if that was not done already, you will probably have to pay for that) or a release under an acceptable free licence (see COM:L for that, my personal favourite is Free Art License, but you may chose either one or several that you prefer). Keep in mind that simply releasing your additional copyright (that you may or may not have, I am unsure how creative your ironing board removal was, is not enough, we need a release from the photographer. In rare ocasions this can be considered 'work for hire' in which case the copyright would get transferred automatically, in order for that to happen the photographer would need to be on the company's payroll and get paid a constant salary rather than a payment for each photoshoot (i.e. by an hour or by a photo), this is very rarely a case. ℺ Gone Postal ( ) 03:49, 21 January 2019 (UTC)

Dear Commons colleagues,

I would like to tell you the reasons why this file should not be deleted.

I amb Marc Ball-llosera and I am a member of Comissio del Ranxo association. This association is in charge of cooking once a year, during "Carnaval" a solidary meal. This has been done for more than 100 years.

The picture you want to delete File:Escut Comissió del Ranxo de Vidreres.jpg is the logotype of our association. THe design was made by different members of the association, so its owned by us. However, the digital design was made by a professional designer following our drawing.

What should I do to add the logotype?

I just want to ask, what is the obvious reason, so that the File:Logo_SMKN_2_Sungai_Penuh.png is deleted and is considered to violate copyright.

because the logo is registered with the Indonesian Education Service as the official logo of a school in Jambi province and may be used anywhere.

and the logo is used officially on the official page of SMK Negeri 2 Sungai Penuh Official Page

if it does violate copyright, which copyright has been violated.

Thanks for the explanation — Preceding unsigned comment added by Xnuser (talk • contribs) 06:08, 21 January 2019 (UTC)

@Xnuser: First, there is no evidence that the logo is personal ownership of uploader. And attempting to license it by a person who is not copyright owner is copyright violation. Second, for any copyrighted media that was used elsewhere before upload to Commons a written free license permission from the actual copyright owner following COM:OTRS instructions is needed in order to restore the logo. Or an evidence that it was initially published under a free license. Facebook is not a freely licensed site. And third, fair use media is not accepted in Wikimedia Commons.

In Commons:Undeletion requests/Archive/2018-11#File:Teatro de Hierápolis, Pamukkale Theater 10216841227333395o.jpg, I asked DIEGO73 to overwrite the file in full size with EXIF metadata intact per COM:HR.   — Jeff G. please ping or talk to me 13:44, 4 November 2018 (UTC)

Done. Type/Size/Px/Ppp DIEGO73 (talk) 03:50, 4 November 2018 (UTC)
@DIEGO73: By "overwrite", I meant for you to use the link "Upload a new version of this file".   — Jeff G. please ping or talk to me 11:17, 4 November 2018 (UTC)
@Jeff G.: I do not understand what is the problem here. I see no need to undelete as the version with EXIF can be just uploaded under the same name. Any hints? Ankry (talk) 08:48, 18 January 2019 (UTC)
@Ankry: A chronology follows:
  • 04:29, 2 November 2018 (UTC) DIEGO73 (talk | contribs) uploaded the file.
  • 21:57, 3 November 2018 (UTC) Didym (talk | contribs) tagged it as no permission.
  • 22:44, 3 November 2018 (UTC) DIEGO73 attempted to UDR it (creating the original UDR section), even though it wasn't deleted yet.
  • 02:41, 4 November 2018 (UTC) I closed the first UDR procedurally for that reason.
  • 11:00, 4 November 2018 (UTC) SteinsplitterBot archived the original UDR section to Commons:Undeletion requests/Archive/2018-11#File:Teatro de Hierápolis, Pamukkale Theater 10216841227333395o.jpg.
  • 13:44, 4 November 2018 (UTC) I opened this section, probably just to clarify what I wanted DIEGO73 to do in order to give us more confidence in his ownership of the file's copyright. I probably should have posted on his user talk page instead.
  • 00:46, 11 November 2018 (UTC) Jcb (talk | contribs) deleted the file as no permission because DIEGO73 evidently did not comply well enough. Certainly, I can find no log of another upload of this file.
Please do what you think is appropriate given the current state of the deleted file.   — Jeff G. please ping or talk to me 16:17, 18 January 2019 (UTC)

Hello,

I am sending a request to undelete the Pancakes and Powerslams logo. I, the owner of the file, posted it on the Pancakes and Powerslams wikipedia page, after someone else started the page a few years ago. I wanted to make the page look more professional and business-centric after seeing that it needed to be updated after the person who started the page did not resume working on it, neither did anyone else.

Thanks.

--Cravewrestling (talk) 21:52, 13 January 2019 (UTC)

While the logo seems to be {{PD-textlogo}}, the Wikipedia article is likely to be deleted. And then the logo would become out of scope. So I suggest to delay any action here till English Wikipedia decision. Ankry (talk) 00:05, 14 January 2019 (UTC)
 Support English Wikipedia has a much higher bar when it comes to their articles than we do for our images. I think I have only a couple of my uploads linked by articles on Wikipedia. We need to ask if the image is realistically useful for an educational show, and a logo of a radio programme that ran since 2002 is in scope. ℺ Gone Postal ( ) 09:04, 19 January 2019 (UTC)
@Gone Postal: As I noted in another request, it is general practice here that logos are considered in scope if used in Wikimedia projects. It is very hard to judge what an arbitrary logo can be used for, so we focus on their use in Wikimedia. If you think, this is not a good practice, please suggest its change in Village pump.
And I see no problem with undeletion, if article that the logo is used in is not disputable. In whatever wiki.
And also, PNG version should be preferred in such cases. So I tend to close it as not done. Ankry (talk) 23:15, 19 January 2019 (UTC)
And what do I say on COM:Village pump? Something like "I have said on an Undeletion request that logos are considered in scope when they are useful on Wikipedia, Ankry agreed with me that they are considered in scope if used on Wikipedia, I do not understand where the disagreement lies, but Ankry seems to think that I should post something here."??? We are in agreement, logos (and everything else) is automatically in scope if they are useful on Wikipedia. But in this case this does not apply (so actually we are discussing an irrelevant point), we do have a broader scope "Useful for an educational purpose", and as such it is. ℺ Gone Postal ( ) 06:21, 20 January 2019 (UTC)
If Cravewrestling truly owns the logo, then it should be properly released via COM:OTRS Ronhjones  (Talk) 00:49, 20 January 2019 (UTC)

Hello This image "Julien Bobroff.jpg" is a picture of myself taken by me with a tripod and self-timer. I therefore have full rights on it. I put it on Wikimedia to help illustrate the french article on me (https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julien_Bobroff).

We do not know if the artist who is not the author is allowed by their contract to make it freely licensed. And publishing an image as CC-BY-SA without correct attribution is likely a copyright violation (so this raise some doubts here, IMO). If no other information about required attribution is provided, we should attribute the author (photographer). Who are they?

MARSHALLING SIGNALS (EU)

Die Löschung dieser Dateien mit der Begründung von Jcb: these drawings come from ICAO, not from the German government or the EU am 20. Januar 2019 war unrichtig. Bei jeder Datei war die Quelle deutlich vermerkt: Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 923/2012 of 26 September 2012. In dieser Verordnung, die auch in jedem Unionsmitgliedstaat der Europäischen Union unmittelbar und ohne jede Umsetzung gilt, sind diese Bilder enthalten. Diese dürfen von jedermann genutzt werden, da es sich um einen Gesetzestext handelt. ICAO hat ähnlich Bilder, jedoch sind dies nicht die selben. Die Wiederherstellung ist daher möglich und zulässig. SG, Asurnipal (talk) 16:06, 20 January 2019 (UTC)

 Oppose - these standards are not set on a European base, they are worldwide and developed by ICAO. Jcb (talk) (a pilot) 19:36, 20 January 2019 (UTC)

Hallo Jcb. Gib bitte die Quelle an, nach welcher diese Bilder von ICAO stammen und diese darauf einen Uhrheberschutz begründen kann. Hier dies zu behaupten aber die Quelle für die Behauptung nicht zu nennen, ist wohl etwas sehr ungenügend. Ich habe meine Quelle klar und mehrfach genannt (= eine Verordnung der Europäischen Kommission = Gesetzestext), da wäre es doch ein Leichtes für Dich, auch deine Behauptung qualifiziert zu untermauern. SG, Asurnipal (talk) 04:36, 21 January 2019 (UTC)

@Asurnipal: In Wikimedia Commons we need to investigate copyright status in the country of initial publication and in US. Not the copyright status of any publication in a random country. Unless you can prove that the images were designed for the EU standard and never used by ICAO before 26 September 2012, the copyright status of these images in any EU country is irrelevant for Wikimedia Commons. ICAO is Canada based, so only copyright status in Canada & US is relevant here. Ankry (talk) 14:18, 21 January 2019 (UTC)
Errrm. The ICAO is a UN body. While it is headquartered in Canada, its publications are likely simultaneously published in a large number of nations, making the "country of origin" a fair bit harder to determine -- it would technically be the country among those with the shortest terms, going by Berne rules. Although "rule of the shorter term" probably doesn't apply much, since most countries will protect stuff from international organizations like the ICAO specially. Secondly, this appears to be from Annex 2 (tenth edition) of the Convention on International Civil Aviation. The Convention itself is an international treaty, and is not protected by copyright. Unsure about the annexes though, which are regulations which are periodically updated. There is a version of the ninth edition here, which was published by the US Government noting it is legally binding in the U.S., and thus probably {{PD-EdictGov}} there. It could well fall under similar copyright prohibitions on legal documents in other countries. Some but not all of the graphics appear to be the same as the 10th edition. Any earlier edition was probably {{PD-US-no notice}} as well. I'm not sure if {{PD-UN-doc}} applies to the ICAO, but these do seem to be pretty much part of actual law in many countries, so any copyright protection is rather nebulous. I'd actually lean towards keeping these with {{PD-EdictGov}} or something similar. Carl Lindberg (talk) 15:29, 21 January 2019 (UTC)

 Oppose this seems to be a set of works by various authors. No evidence that they all died more than 80 years ago. For not identifiable ones (if any) we could probably apply {{PD-old-assumed}} (bur the term 120 yers post publication did not expire yet). And note that one of te authors, Álvaro Díaz Quiñones died in 1951 making his works copyrigted till 2032. Hewever, as pre-1924 publication, this work can be uploaded locally in some projects, eg. English Wikipedia or Multilingual Wikisource. Unsure about Spanish language projects here. And also, note that per above: {{tl|PD-anon-70} does not apply to pre-1987 publications from Spain; it should be {{PD-anon-80}} (which does not exist at the moment; but this is another case). Libraries are sometimes authorized to publish copyrighted works under some Fair Use like terms if copyright owners do not comply. But this does not make them PD.

Dobrý den,

všerejší načtení udaných fotografií bylo nováčkovsky chybné, protože jsem je načetl jako vlastní díla, což nejsou, a já to také proto nerozporoval. Dnes jsem tyto soubory nahrál již správnou cestou s uvedením majitele i autora fotografie a jejich souhlasu s použitím ve Wikipedii. Ačkoliv mám na oba zmíněné kontakty, rozhodně nehodlám udávat ani pod fotografiemi, ani posílat žádné anonymní třetí osobě, kterou jsou na Wikipedii všichni. Samozřejmě mohu ještě obstarat prohlášení zmíněných, a to někam zaslat, ovšem to budu potřebovat vědět kam. Problém zůstává, že stejně takové prohlášení v elektronické podobě je těžko ověřitelné, tak jako prohlášení mé.

Chápu, že právní ochrana je složitá, avšak rozhodně rozporuji, že vkládám znovu stejný obsah se stejnými informacemi. Informace o autorovi a majiteli, které jsem podruhé uvedl, si lze ověřit.

The referenced coat of arms protection law regulates among other things the commercial use (Swissnes protection) of the Swiss coat of arms. The FC EDA has no commercial background. In addition, the use of the Swiss coat of arms is reserved for the community only. FC EDA is de facto the official football representation of the Federal Department of Foreign Affairs (FDFA).

Seems reasonable to me. @Bencemac: any comments? And I suggest providing this info (with fill file list) to OTRS that a Hungarian speaking agent can verify this information and properly mark the images. after the files are undeleted. Ankry (talk) 15:31, 20 January 2019 (UTC)
[Insert sad face here.] I remember this article; I have contacted the so-called journalist and asked whether the statements in the article are actually, how to put it, true; she told me to leave her alone, she only "typed in the article" and what's been said by Mr. Tamasi wasn't either fact-checked or actually thought about, and she do not quite care whether it's been false or not. I had the impression that she wasn't quite happy that someone actually asking about facts backing up the article and I also had the feeling that she haven't spent a second more than was required to ask the questions and type in the answers. My opinion, based on the recurring communication between various people and Mr. Tamasi is that Mr. Tamasi does not always tell the truth, but omit details or add non-existing ones, and I do not think that what he says would stand at the courts. He is also smart enough never to say that he is actually responsible for his own statements and he never make a definitive answer to copyright related questions. He also stated that he does not, and he never will prove his statements by any documents or written material, and everything happens verbally or being assumed (or most of the case "who cares the legal f*ckery").
The general question is whether we delegate the responsibility, and say "Mr. Tamasi made a legally sound statement here and there in writing and we have to assume that he is telling the truth; would it turn out that he was lying he does have the financial and legal responsibilities", and hope that we (whoever "we" are?) can convince the courts that we are not responsible apart from asking a fitting statement. (I am pretty sure that Wikimedia Legal would not agree.) --grin 16:47, 20 January 2019 (UTC)

File:ANATG-Poster 1-21-19.jpg to Undelete - Movie Poster

Hello! I am requesting an undeletion of the file ANATG-Poster 1-21-19.jpg. I uploaded this image yesterday since it is the movie poster for the film A NIGHT AT THE GARDEN (I also created the Wikipedia page for this film yesterday). It is a movie poster that was created by the filmmaker - all images on the poster are from the film and properly licensed - and he has given free permission to upload the poster to Wikipedia. How can I go about getting this poster back up on Wikipedia so that it can be added to the Wikipedia page for the film itself? Is there any paperwork we would need to fill out?

My email is ben@marshallcurry.com if that is easier to reach me at.

Thanks so much! Best, Ben

Author died in 1944. 1931 letter. Abzeronow (talk) 15:31, 22 January 2019 (UTC)

  •  Unfortunate opposition Unfortunately USA does not respect the rule of shorter term, so the problem comes because of how the US decied to follow URAA, they have restored the copyright in 1996 for all works still under copyright in their original country and extended that copyright to 95 years from publication. This means that if the letter was from 1931, then it will only become public domain in the USA in 2027. ℺ Gone Postal ( ) 06:32, 23 January 2019 (UTC)
  • Errm. Is the SMOM really on par as a country, which implements its own copyright laws or something? Which other countries would recognize as a sovereign state like the Vatican? Seems like it would fall under Malta copyright law. If they don't have their own copyright law, seems reasonable to assume they follow Malta's. Malta's current copyright law dates from 2000, and is 70pma. However the 2000 law was not retroactive, something they probably fixed before they became an EU member in 2004, so it's probably 70pma there today. However I'm not sure we have adequate documentation on Malta's copyright terms in 1996, which were probably lower. It seems like they passed a 1967 law, which was only repealed in 2000. I'm not sure I have found the text, but I did find this which seems to be the text, and if accurate Malta had a 25pma term at the time. For anonymous works, it was 25 years from publication. Bit surprising, as they had come from 50pma UK law, but... certainly possible. It's entirely possible that Malta extended those terms later, but those would likely have not been retroactive, so something by an author who died in 1944 most likely became PD in Malta in 1970, and was likely not retroactively restored until the 2000s sometime. Malta was already a member of Berne, so 1996 should be their URAA date. As such it seems unlikely that this was under copyright in Malta in 1996, if the named person was the author (or just signed an anonymous work), or at the very least we don't have any information which indicates it was under copyright. So I'd probably  Keep with PD-old and PD-1996, unless someone can bring more specific copyright laws to light. Carl Lindberg (talk) 16:43, 23 January 2019 (UTC)
    • @Clindberg: This is official document of SMOM issued in 1931 in Rome, and signed by Ferdinando d'Afflitto, originating from Archivio Gran Magistero dell'Ordine di Malta di Roma.

Tehran Maps

Please undelete these photos temporarily so that I can check for the authors. These were old maps and could be in PD in Iran.

@Hanooz: File:Tehran- Avakher Pahlavi Aval.jpg and File:Tehran-1308 Shamsi.jpg were undeleted temporarily.
File:جلد کتاب تهران نگاری.jpg may be simple enough not to be copyrightable, but I think it is out of project scope. You can see the book cover here.
File:اطلس تهران قدیم.jpg, the original picture is definitely within scope, but I have doubts about the book cover. Here or here you can see the book cover.
File:Jeld Naghsheh Tehran.jpg is also out of scope in my opinion. The original map maybe copyright clear and can be hosted on Commons, but the book cover as a derivative work is nearly useless. Here or here you can see the book cover.

I think I finally found the right place to inquire about the deletion of the photos I uploaded. These are pictures I own. They are originals that I inherited from my grandfather, Francisco Perez-Perez. I have a few photos taken of this journey. He was in the Spanish military assigned to the Western Sahara - a village then called Rio de Oro - then La Aguera --- now a part of Mauritania. I am not sure why you claim the photos are derivatives? I scanned the original photos and uploaded to your site. I understand that the images scanned will be public domain.

Let me know if you have any questions. Alice Campanella --- granddaughter of Capitan Francisco Perez-Perez — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alice Campanella (talk • contribs) 02:03, 20 January 2019 (UTC)

@Alice Campanella: claiming that you are the author of this photo is false. You may be the author of the photo scan, which is a derivative (copy) of original photo. Why do you claim that the photos are PD? We need some evidence for that (eg. the photographer name, death date and nationality, information whether and where the photo was already published, etc.). Plase note, that anonymous unpublished photos are PD in US 120 years since creation. And this one is not pre-1899. Ankry (talk) 15:43, 20 January 2019 (UTC)

I am beyond confused by your determination that I have lied about these photos. I have taken copies of the originals in my photo albums as a way to prove to you that they are original. What I have scanned the original photo several times and MAYBE when I crop the picture, you then assume it is fake. But I crop it only because the original is a 1x3 inch (old photos had odd sizes). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alice Campanella (talk • contribs) 02:11, 22 January 2019 (UTC)

I have uploaded 3 pictures of my original photos in hope that you will see that they are ORIGINALS.Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alice Campanella (talk • contribs) 02:15, 22 January 2019 (UTC)

@Alice Campanella: Having a photo copy in your album does not give you copyright to it. "Original" photo in this case is likely the negative. And the author is the photographer who made the photo in 1932 using a photo-camera. I do not believe that you made the photo in 1932 personally. And, as I noted above, the original author's copyright is unlikely to expire (can you prove that the photographer died before 1949?).
And, if you are not the original author (who made the photo in 1932) we need a written permission from the actual copyright owner (maybe you, if you are the heir of the photographer) sent following COM:OTRS instructions. You may be asked by the OTRS agent for some explanation, however. Ankry (talk) 08:18, 22 January 2019 (UTC)

Hello again, I am the owner. My grandfather was the original owner as he had a friend take the picture with my grandfather's camera. My grandfather died, My mother inherited the pictures. She died, and now I own the pictures. Negatives do not exist for these photos today. Do you want me to contact the OTRS to pursue this further with them? or is your decision final? If you continue to claim I am not the owner and these are not original, my mind is blown. I hope that there is still an appeal process remaining as I am very truthful about this matter. Thank you ALice — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alice Campanella (talk • contribs) 00:34, 23 January 2019 (UTC)--Alice Campanella (talk) 01:26, 23 January 2019 (UTC)

@Alice Campanella: I would advice you to contact OTRS if you owned the copyright. If your grandfather was the photographer, you might own the copyright. If the photographer is unknown and the photos were never published, it is unlikely that they can be undeleted before 2050s. Per COM:PCP and per the "120 years from creation" US copyright term for anonymous works. Ownership of photos and ownership of the camera are irrelevant for copyright.

@Hanooz: Why do you wish these particular files undeleted? At least one of them is poor quality; at least one sourced from a copyrighted mehrnews page; many of then sourced from outdated non-free licensed pages. And we cannot host them if they are not freely licensed now. IMO it is simple to just try reupload and request UDR only if a reuploading problem appears (provideng the URI).

Some may be free, some are marked "All rights reserved' whoat contradicts with CC-BY license declaration.

@Ankry: [[11]] I made a printscreen, you can see what I see. It's written there in Hungarian "szabadon felhasználható képek" it means approx. "All the pictures on this site are free content". So, the copyright sentence on the bottom of the site is not for these 2 pictures. Hagermiki92 (talk) 12:07, 26 January 2019 (UTC)

@Hagermiki92: "Free content" does not automatically mean "free license", unless explained somewhere in details. In Wikimedia Commons we need a permission for commercial reuse (must be eexplicite), a permission for derivative work creation (must be explicite), and a declaration that author accepts not to revoke the permission in future. Without these 3 points a permission does not fit Wikimedia Commons requirements. Also, if the permission is not declared buy the author himself/herself, it may be simply invalid.

dag beste , Deze foto is door mijn ma getrokken in 1992, ik heb het negatief en het positief in mijn bezit . Heb de originele op mijn wiki commons geplaatst . Was een openbare plaats op podium buiten . Heb hem verkleind omdat het een kleinere pagina is . Op wat baseert u zich dat deze foto niet ok zou zijn dan kan ik er in de toekomst meer info bijgeven .

Als zij toestemming geeft zal de foto teruggeplaatst worden. Het helpt als ze meteen een grotere (hogere resolutie) versie van de foto bij de mail doet. - Alexis Jazz ping plz 00:49, 15 December 2018 (UTC)

Wel dat zal rond nieuwjaar zijn dan zie ik haar , de foto is oorspronkelijk groter van het ganse podium maar ik vond het mooier op het kleine artikel , deze 2 foto's staan ook op Wiki Commons ter goedkeuring . De resolutie is niet zo hoog want dat was nog niet met een smartphone of professioneel fotoapparaat genomen (wat de amateurherkomst bewijst) en hij is uitvergroot .

This picture was taken by Marcus Steinmeyer, a photographer who gave the copyright to use it under the condition of giving him the credit of the photo (which is already done on the references of the image posted on Commons), and it's freely used on the internet to promote events of the singer Tais Reganelli, who has ordered the shooting. It's on the website that you've posted and not only, it also appears in other events. I would appreciate if you can please undelete the picture, so that it can be used again for the wikipedia page of the singer Tais Reganelli.--Taisreganelli (talk) 22:32, 25 January 2019 (UTC)

Though this image is subject to copyright it is believed to be covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

  1. the image subject is missing/presumed dead and a free use version is unlikely to become available;
  2. the image is low resolution;
  3. it does not limit the copyright owner's rights to the image;
  4. no free use photograph of the person is available

Here is a similar rationale to the one given for another missing person here, whose image is also in wikimedia (https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/5/5f/Natalee_Holloway_yearbook_photo.jpg): https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Natalee_Holloway_yearbook_photo.jpg#mw-jump-to-license

Since the file was deleted without notice, there was no chance to dispute the rationale ("Fair use is not allowed on Commons") before it was removed.

I believe you think I plagiarized it. Why? Who says that! I did no such thing. I can send you a screenshot from my computer to prove I made it. Who says I plagiarized it?

This image is no more than a simple scanned version of a old Portuguese public domain document, that can be scanned by anyone in the Arquivo do Ministerio dos Negócios Estrangeiros in Lisbon Portugal. IF the original document is in the public domain, all scans of it are in the public domain. No one will be able to claim copyright over this scanned image because work can only be original if it is the result of independent creative effort. It will not be original if it has been copied from something that already exists. Only original works are protected by copyright and the original is public domain.

According to the Court of Justice of the European Union which has effect in UK law, and also Portuguese law, copyright can only subsist in subject matter that is original in the sense that it is the author’s own ‘intellectual creation’.

In the United States, this issue was decided in the case of Bridgeman Art Library v. Corel Corp., in which the court ruled that exact photographic copies of public-domain images could not be protected by copyright in the United States because the copies lack originality

Under Portuguese Law Works Protected by Copyright have the following definition "Works shall mean intellectual creations in the literary, scientific and artistic fields, in whatever form, and as such they shall be protected under the present Code, as shall the rights of their authors." These type of government documents are not works and therefore are not protected by copyright. Therefore we are left with the law that regulates the public archives. The "Decreto-Lei n.º 16/93" is the one that regulates the use of public archives. According to article 17.2 or the Law 16/93 one cannot publish documents with personal data of individuals that have died less than 50 years ago. In this case the individual died in 1954. So the document can be published.

Last but not leas, Wikipedia's position on this matter seems to be quite clear. For more information see National Portrait Gallery and Wikimedia Foundation copyright dispute. I hope Wikipedia will maintain the position.JPratas (talk) 12:26, 23 January 2019 (UTC)

 Question @JPratas: Which PD copyright tag is appropriate here? If, none, you were pointed out the right way to go in the DR of this file. Thee is no expert of Portugese Copyright law here who can take a decision on case by case basis. Ankry (talk) 11:10, 24 January 2019 (UTC)
@Ankry: Works of the United States Government and various other governments, such as EU governments, are excluded from copyright law and may therefore be considered to be in the public domain in their respective countries. The legal scholar Melville Nimmer has written that "it is axiomatic that material in the public domain is not protected by copyright, even when incorporated into a copyrighted work"
Besides the user that deleted the file did not provide a reason. There is no basis for deleting it. How can someone delete a file with presenting a reason? I suggest that we keep the file until someone comes up with a reasonable explanation. --JPratas (talk) 21:19, 24 January 2019 (UTC)
You claimed to be copyright owner of the deleted file and attempted to license it yourself. This contradicts what you said above. And providing false information can be itself a reason to delete a file. If the correct information is not provided, the image just cannot be undeleted. And UDR is not the right place to discuss whether works of some governments are copyrighted or not. Ankry (talk) 22:03, 24 January 2019 (UTC)
@Ankry: Thanks for your clarification. Can you please guide me on what to do in order to have the document properly uploaded. I have been, in good faith, trying to provide all relevant information and I am willing to make any change needed in order to fix any problem. I must say that deleting documents like that is not very helpful. It eliminates information that can be valuable and discourages users from cooperating with wikicommons. JPratas (talk) 09:46, 25 January 2019 (UTC)
As noted in the DR this could be discussed in COM:VPC. Especially, as I do not see any appropriate clause in {{PD-Portugal-URAA}} nor in {{PD-Portugal-photo}} nor I can found another PD template related to Portugal. Ankry (talk) 10:28, 25 January 2019 (UTC)

El archivo es de dominio público es un periódico de 1986. lo que se puede es corregir los datos de la imagen para que los derechos digan que es de dominio público — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yurilizarazo (talk • contribs) 05:56, 15 January 2019 (UTC)

 Oppose Commons:Copyright rules by territory/Colombia states that copyright expires 80 years after publication (in 2067).

Ankry eso es para obras literarias o similares, no para portadas de periódicos o de publicaciones de interés general por ejemplo esta iimagen "https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Zeitschriften.JPG" que no solo toma una portada sino muchísimas portadas de revistas Yurilizarazo (talk) 00:44, 18 January 2019 (UTC)

@Yurilizarazo: The mentioned page is probably based on de minimis rule. If there's a clear exception for such magazine covers in Columbian copyright law, it has to be described in this page prior to going further here. A Spanish speaking user with at least basing understanding of legal language is required for that. Any hints, which Columbian Act and in which part states so? And please, note: the images uploaded to Commons must be free for any use, including commercial and derivative work creation. Ankry (talk) 08:30, 18 January 2019 (UTC)

Ankry sin ánimo de ofender, me asalta una duda sino entienden el idioma, si no tienen los conocimientos ¿para qué editan, y peor aún para qué ejercen sanciones?, borrar una imagen sin tener la capacidad cognitiva para hacerlo es un sabotaje, es trollear, entiendo que para mantener un archivo, hay que organizarlo, etiquetarlo apropiadamente, pero esta labor no es necesariamente del que sube la imagen, sino por eso se supone que es una comunidad colaborativa, si alguien hace algo incompleto, otro que sabe, quiere, le gusta, tiene la disposición, lo termina o lo completa; pero lo que se ve es que no actúan con disposición de colaborar sino de censurar, de pedir borrar todo lo que no les guste, o de dar ordenes encubiertas, hablar de forma imperativa, de hagan, busquen, completen y que encima les agradezcan, es también una asunto ético que pidan el borrado sin siquiera intentar conservar la información que se pretende compartir, es decir sobre lo que trata la imagen, bien sea buscando una imagen similar o simplemente completando la información de los "formularios" que consideren ha quedado incompleta o mal diligenciada, y lo peor en búsqueda ladina de hacer acusaciones temerarias, violando la presunción de buena fe o de imponer sanciones contra los usuarios violando la presunción de inocencia donde la carga de la prueba se supone está en cabeza de quien acusa no del acusado (es decir el acusador debe primero investigar, buscar, tratar de conservar la imagen, la información, buscar las leyes que permitan hacerlo, y solo cuando encuentre que no es posible, que existe un acervo probatorio que puede llevar a la convicción que un usuario está infringiendo una norma, entonces si acusarlo pero haciéndole saber el porqué y todo el análisis que hizo, en lo que se basó, en las búsquedas que hizo, el historial de búsqueda de Google o Wikipedia o de su biblioteca, que actúan como una acusación que llevarían a la certeza que se violó la norma antijuridicidad y aún esto no es suficiente para acusar porque faltaría la culpabilidad y el dolo y la necesariedad de la sanción, sin que exista otra posibilidad que la de acusar para obtener una sanción a modo de recobrar la armonía perdida, de otra forma parecen matones, gatillos fáciles, carceleros, sicarios wikipedistas que asesinan la información) no digo que sea su caso, pero es evidente que hay un mal proceder de parte de las personas que piden borrados y amenazan con sanciones cuando ni siquiera se toman la molestia de colaborar y colaborar no es solicitarle al que sube la imagen que complete el formulario o hacerle caer en cuenta que lo llenó mal o de forma incompleta (como hacen los funcionarios de una empresa tradicional o de un Estado con una forma de gobierno burocrática y seudo-elitista) sino en como ya lo mencioné en completar por iniciativa propia lo que haga falta. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yurilizarazo (talk • contribs) 19:34, 18 January 2019 (UTC) "Any title, photograph, illustration and commentary on a current event, published by the press or broadcast by radio or television, may be reproduced in so far as this has not been expressly prohibited.

 Oppose Whoever is the logo copyright owner, they did not declare that it is freely licensed. And without such a declaration (in written form) the logo cannot be stored in Wikimedia Commons.

Reason: I took these photographs. I built the models that it they are photographs of and I set up the studio that the image was taken in. I own the copyright to these images. They are freely available across the web because I made them freely available. I have made ALL my photographs of molecular and crystal structure models freely avalable for anyone to use and download for non-profit purposes, as can be seen on my page at miramodus.com/images.shtml, where I include a statement on their free use. It would be useful if, instead of simply deleting images with no regard for the effects of those deletions, your administrators would ASK the contributors before deleting for more definitive evidence of ownership. We all check boxes to confirm that we own the copyright before uploading, yet your admin people appear to be able to delete images based on no evidence. Thesnark (talk) 22:07, 10 January 2019 (UTC)

We had those discussions before, where an author wanted to decide where exactly to put the credit, license, link.

Image in cover was taken in-house by Renew staff, Renew (the organisation that publishes Renew the magazine, and I am technical editor) owns the rights to the image and cover in total, and allow it to be used as per CC rights. Ledsalesoz (talk) 02:41, 30 January 2019 (UTC)

Although it depicts an original poster, this file was covered by freedom of panorama in Germany, so it should not have been deleted. @Metilsteiner and Strakhov: for reference. De728631 (talk) 14:56, 30 January 2019 (UTC)

 Oppose FoP-Germany concerns only works that are permanently placed in public places. Can you provide an evidence that the poster is still being presented in its original location and elaborate why do you assume that it will be there in, say, ten years? Ankry (talk) 16:17, 30 January 2019 (UTC)
Please read COM:FOP Germany. The permanent requirement has been the subject of much juridical debates and court rulings. The latest development was that "advertisements and applied art displayed on vehicles such as buses and tramways were found to have a permanent nature by the Federal Court of Justice". So as they are neither stationary nor long-lived, an advertisement poster on a wall should now equally be permanent in nature. De728631 (talk) 16:30, 30 January 2019 (UTC)
A wall is not a bus. We cannot extend the interpretation here. Copyright exceptions should be interpretted strictly. Also, I do not see appropriate clause in the {{FoP-Germany}} template. And copyright template creation/modification should be discussed in COM:VPC, not here. Ankry (talk) 17:29, 30 January 2019 (UTC)

Dobrý den, do budoucna se zde budu vyjadřovat pouze svýmn rodným jazykem tj. ČESKY Na vysvětlenou všem a snad pro vždy: Několik týdnů po založení článku ALL STARS CUP jsme článek na doporučení wikipedisti Harolda upravili a promazali dle jeho rad, aby splňoval kriteria a pravidla Wikipedie včetně jejich fotografií. Bohužel wikipedista " vystupující pod user:Josve05a / Jonatan Svensson Glad / se rozhodl vymazat oficiální logo našeho turnaje na které držíme ochrannou známku udělenou úřadem průmyslového vlastnictví České republiky, což bylo podmíněno také množstvím úkolů nutných pro její vydání. Pokud by měl pan Jonatan Svensson Glad zájem a vůbec chuť se tím zabývat a klikl by si na oficiální stránky turnaje, zjistil by, že logo je s celým turnajem nepopiratelně spjaté. Myslím, že před tím, nežli se rozhodl logo jen tak ze zábavy smazat a označit jej jako okopírovanou //ukradenou věc nejdříve zkontrolovat zda někdo jiný vyjma nás toto logo používá. Samotná výroba loga nebyla zadarmo a museli jsme i úřadu průmyslového vlastnictví ČR prokázat jeho originalitu a nybytí vlastnictví. Wikipedie se tváří jak je ráda, když lidé dodávají zajímavé články z různých lidských odvětví a potom dochází ze strany lidí jako je Jonatan Svensson Glad k takovému arogantnímu chování. Odpověděli jsme prostřednictvím emailu dle instrukcí wikipedie a pořád se k tomu hlásí další a další a samotný Jonatan Svensson Glad neměl ani špetku úcty k nám a na naše vyjádření reagovat. přitom on je ten, který vše zapříčinil. Ke cti českých wikipedistů je, že pokud oni sami mají pocit, že článek neobsahuje co by měl tak reagují po celou dobu v diskuzi jenom oni. V našem případě na Commons se Jonatan Svensson Glad rozhodl jen tak pro zábavu smazat naše oficiální logo na které jsme po právu hrdí a je celosvětově známe a pro všechny spojené s fotbalovým turnajem ALL STARS CUP Proto se domnívám, že by jste měli naše logo do článku vrátit.Nejsem sice tak moc známou osobou, ale vzhledem k úspěšnosti našeho projektu spolupracujeme s řadou novinářů a lidí veřejně známých a věřte, že mou zkušenost s wikipedií nebo spíše její parnerskou organizací Commons budu všude prezentovat pokud nedojde ze strany kompetentních osob k narovnání celé záležitosti a umístění - vrácení našeho loga do článku ALL STARS CUP

Jaroslav Novák | www.allstarscup.cz Allstarscup (talk) 10:40, 29 January 2019 (UTC)

@Allstarscup: You declared that exclusive copyright to the logo is your personal ownership. And that you allow anybody to use the logo in any way for any purpose. We doubt such declaration made by an anonymous user and require to confirm this by a link to the official website or via email following COM:OTRS procedure. And personal attacks against Wikimedia Commons user who strictlyfollow rules, are not acceptable.  Oppose Ankry (talk) 19:41, 29 January 2019 (UTC)

Vážený pane "ANKRY" mám to z Vaší strany chápat jako provokaci. Jasně jsem deklaroval(i) v emailové komunikaci, dle příslušných pravidel Wikimedie Commons,že je logo v našem vlastnictví a Vy mě znova žádáte abych to dokládal emailem. Je to neskutečná provokace!!! Fascinujemě však, že celou akci vyvolal z Vaší strany pan Jonatan Svensson Glad a neměl ani drobet slušnosti s námi jakoliv dále komunikovat a naopak jste již třetí neli čtvrtý USER/anonym, který se angažuje v této banální věci. Nejlepší bude, když nebudeme požadovat navrácení loga do článku. Na rozdíl od Vás mám také svou práci, která mě živí a mé tři děti. Opravdu nemám chuť ani čas si s Vámi dopisovat a přenechám to jiným, kterých jak vidno je dost a dost. Beru to jako osbní útok proti mé osobě a našemu spolku. S pozdravem Jaroslav Novák Allstarscup (talk) 11:44, 30 January 2019 (UTC)

@Allstarscup: Nobody in Wikimedia Commons is required to contact you.

And everybody here has their job in real life, serving Wikimedia Commons in their free time. If you continue to use this tone, nobody here will speak to you. Ankry (talk) 16:36, 30 January 2019 (UTC)

Vážený pane, myslím, že by bylo fajn vylézt z anonymity, co vy na to? kdo Vám dal právo mluvit za druhé. Několikrát jsem prokázal vlastnictví loga a Vy budete neustále provokovat. Píšete, že sloužíte wikimedii ve svém volném čase a ZDARMA jak předpokládám. Proto máte asi dobrý pocit z toho, že se můžete s lidmi zde hádat a provokat. Myslím, že nastal čas, aby jste se uklidnil a přestal se do našeho spolku a konkrétně mě navážet a provokovat. Myslím, že zacházíte za hranici slušného chování a neumíte se ani představit. Je hodně lidí, kteří se na schovávají za anonymitu sociálních sítí a internetu tak jako VY. je to smutné. Zajímalo by mě jaký jste člověk.Vážený pane ve svém volném čase jsem se svými kolegy vytvořil jeden z nejlepších mládežnických turnajů na světě, stálo nás t o všechny hodně úsilí za těch deset let a vlastních soukromých finančních prostředků a opravdu se nemíním s VÁMI A PANEM GLADEM dohadovat o tom zda nám patří logo, které vytvořil náš grafik a řádně jsme si ho zaregistrovali na úřadu průmyslového vlastnictví České republiky. Pokuste se zamyslet i s panem Gladem na tom jak se chováte a reprezentujete wikimedii. JE TO SMUTNÉ
