Dear staff,

after receiving your alert of imminent deletion, I had no time to update the informations about the rights of the uploaded picture, as requested. Sorry.

I work for the press office of Mister Mauro Eugenio Giuliani. The picture belongs to him and there are absolutely no restrictions and/or rights to be written. People can download, edit and publish the picture, also for commercial purposes. The picture, in other words, is for public domain.

Please don't hesitate to contact me for any other issues. Carmela Santovito

@AnnTheKid: Please provide an evidence that it was published under a free license: either at the initial publication site (faster) or through COM:OTRS procedure (slower). You cannot use on-wiki license declaration procedure using {{Own}} for imaged that were published proviously elsewhere. It is up to uploader to provide such evidence.

Hello, it is a picture taken by myself. I already declared that while uploading it to wiki commons. I don't see any reason for deletion, the site you mentioned as a subject for it used my photo for congress purpose and I gave them my full agreement to do so. Thank you for making it right and upload the picture again. Thanks.--AnnTheKid (talk) 09:13, 29 July 2019 (UTC)

the file is free of use as seen on https://soundcloud.com/kasaloo/karubandika you have to undelete it — Preceding unsigned comment added by Blombat (talk • contribs) 10:35, 29 July 2019‎ (UTC)

Blombat: No, you have to understand that {{cc-by-nc-sa-3.0}} is a non-free license (which is why it's a speedy deletion tag), and that you can't just arbitrarily drop licensing restrictions and claim that it's been published under a {{cc-by-3.0}} license (which is a different set of terms, which in turn is why they're named differently).

Locator maps of Latvian parishes (2)

The following maps were speedy deleted with a dubious reason. A few other maps from the same series by the same author went through regular deletion procedure and were restored eventually. So I believe the following maps can be restored too now. After undeletion I intend to amend author/source info in file descriptions so that it was more explicit.

Someone deleted an image from a page I created - Jonathan Burrows (producer)

This is in regards to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonathan_Burrows_(producer)

I was just informed that the photo of Jonathan Burrows (producer) was deleted for copyright. However, that photo was sent directly by Mr. Burrows to me. I had mentioned copyright of the image and he told me that he owns the rights to the photo himself and gave me his blessing to use that image.

Hello there,

The file I am requesting to be undeleted is File:IoannisAntypas 10021997.jpg which is our CEO's picture.

We hold full copyrights and usage of the image and therefore, we are quite surprised that it was deleted.

Please let me know if we can undelete it.

Kind regards, --Trulilo (talk) 10:49, 31 July 2019 (UTC) Nour

@Trulilo: For already published images we need a written evidence of free license permission from the actual copyright holder (and an evidence of copyright transfer if the copyright holder is not the photographer).

Ich bitte um eine Erklärung, warum diese Datei gelöscht wurde. Es handelte sich hier um das Foto einer Holzplastik aus dem 14. Jahrhundert. Fotografiert von dem Museumsdirektor des Trierer Diözesanmuseums und mir 2015 zur Nutzung in Wikipedia zur Verfügung gestellt. Der Fotograf hatte dazu sein Copyright an permissions geschickt. Ohne dies wäre die Datei nicht hochzuladen gewesen. Nun wurde die Datei 4 Jahre später ohne Diskussion oder Benachrichtigung wegen einer fehlenden Lizenz gelöscht.

Die Freigabe per Email wurde offenbar nicht richtig weitergegeben, bzw. nicht mit dieser Datei verknüpft. Sie wurde nämlich gerade wegen fehlender Lizensierungsnachweise gelöscht. Kann es sein, dass die Email damals an permissions-de@wikimedia geschickt wurde? Bei Sendungen an permissions-commons passiert sowas nämlich eigentlich nicht. @Steinsplitter: Kannst du da etwas im Archiv finden?

@Hps-poll: If EXIF data shows some other author name than uploader's username, we accept {{Own}} on-wiki permission only if the uploader identity was disclosed by the user themselves and verified through COM:OTRS.

It is the same photograph, taken by my camera and belonging to myself, that I supplied to Amazon as a marketing tool. It appears across my social media and has been used as a headshot to accompany my byline in various publications, all of which recognized it as my property.

Many thanks, Lindsey

The nomination was based in "metadata contains Facebook, as source" but clearly is the same author for both files, and it's possible by the law have different versions of the same file, under different licenses. Moreover, the author could always choose to latter publish a file in a more permissive license. So, the justification is not valid.

Gbawden it's not the first time that you do not check the votes and wrongly delete a file of mine. jeff g will always include "delete" in files that I upload, because he loves me and want hard my attention, so you need to pay more attention. ---- Rodrigo Tetsuo Argenton m 18:11, 10 June 2019 (UTC)

Please restore my photo. The deletion notification stated that: "@Strakhov: Copyright violation: From the subject’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/BrMs5DiHY5N/?igshid=1wkx81u78nnyj" And there is. This is my instagram account. On my Wikipedia page, I publish a photo from my Instagram account. What is the problem? --Artsidorov (talk) 19:44, 5 August 2019 (UTC)

@Artsidorov: The problem is that for already published images we need a written free license permission evidence coming directly from the photographer. If the photographer is no longer the copyright holder, we need an evidence of copyright transfer. Also, we have no evidence that the mentioned instagram account belongs to Wikimedia user Artsidorov and no evidence of the declared free license for this image can be found in instagram. Ankry (talk) 10:18, 6 August 2019 (UTC)
@Ankry: Thanks. But. What confirmation do you need to provide? The photo was taken by my man, on my smartphone, during the event. That is, I can’t upload any of my photos from my instagram to Wikimedia? And I can’t post my photos on my Wikipedia page? How can I prove that these are my photos? I uploaded the photo according to the rules of the system. If the photo was taken without the participation of the photographer, how can I prove that this is my photo? These are cases when I shot on the camera through a timer. Have any complaints been received in my photos? You have deleted the photo. But you did not have evidence that the photo does not belong to me. How can I prove that this is my instagram? How to prove that the photographer is a relative who took photos on my smartphone? --Artsidorov (talk) 08:07, 7 August 2019 (UTC)
@Artsidorov: If there's no free license declaration at the site the photo was published initially, the only way is to follow COM:OTRS instructions and convince the responding OTRS agent during e-mail communication that this is your photo. Unfortunately, the queue in OTRS is very long, so this may take weeks. Ankry (talk) 08:44, 7 August 2019 (UTC)
@Ankry: Correctly, I understand that in order to successfully upload to Wikimedia and publish photos to Wikipedia, do I need to find a photo in my archives that has not been published anywhere? --Artsidorov (talk) 17:47, 7 August 2019 (UTC)
@Artsidorov: Such a photo should be OK to be uploaded as {{Own}} if not assigned to a named photographer (eg in EXIF) with name different to your username. For other photos we need a confirmation of the license. Ankry (talk) 09:08, 8 August 2019 (UTC)
@Ankry: Sorry. True, I understand that I need to have an account with a name that matches my name and surname? And upload through it a photo that has not previously been published on the network? For example, a photo taken by me as a selfie, or through a timer on the camera. Thanks in advance for your consultation. --Artsidorov (talk) 09:28, 8 August 2019 (UTC)
If there is copyright related information in the image, then I suggest you rather to follow COM:OTRS instructions. If the image was made totally anonymously, then there is no such need. Ankry (talk) 13:28, 8 August 2019 (UTC)
@Ankry: Tell me please. How do you define an incognito photo or not? The photo has a different author than me or not. Previously, my photos were deleted, apparently because they were in social networks? Including in my social networks. I will find in the archive a photo that has not been published anywhere on the Internet. Can I add photos to Wikimedia from any of my accounts? --Artsidorov (talk) 07:53, 9 August 2019 (UTC)

EXIF data may serve as reference, but not completely objective information. How, in the end, can I quickly add my photo to the Wikipedia page?

Old coat of arms that should have expired. It might not be copyrightable either, since it's bascially the Chinese and English names overlaid on a St George's cross.--Roy17 (talk) 11:38, 4 August 2019 (UTC)

  •  Oppose Like in the UK, the threshold of originality is very low in Hong Kong, so even while this is not copyrightable in most countries, it would probably still pass the copyright test in HK. De728631 (talk) 15:58, 4 August 2019 (UTC)
The design should have expired. Examples from 1960s: https://www.am730.com.hk/column/Lifestyle/%E6%9D%B1%E8%8F%AF%E4%B8%89%E9%99%A2%E5%BE%B4%E9%9B%86%E3%80%8C%E7%B1%8C%E5%8B%9F%E6%96%87%E7%89%A9%E3%80%8D-138925 https://cklee6656.com/collection.php?product_id=1897 . They may not be 100% identical, but all feature the Chinese name contained in a rectangle overlaid on a St George's Cross. Can the minor changes to the en:compartment (heraldry) etc. lead to copyright? I think not. An identical version can be found at http://www.twmarchives.hk/historic_photos_detail.php?uid=122&sid=1&contentlang=tc&lang=tc . In any event, this was one hasty speedy deletion.--Roy17 (talk) 16:39, 4 August 2019 (UTC)
Those older examples don't have the scroll -- so the rendering of the scroll itself, with its particular curls, might be the copyrightable part (and would be the only part which might be an issue in the U.S.). The rest of it is indeed likely OK, probably even in the UK and Hong Kong, given those older examples. I tend to agree this should not have been a speedy deletion, though the age aspect may not have been immediately apparent. I may still lean delete though based on the scroll, unless that particular scroll is also present in old examples. Carl Lindberg (talk) 19:21, 4 August 2019 (UTC)

Carole Migden 2016.jpg should not be deleted

This photo IS on a Facebook page - MY own Facebook page. I am the subject and owner of the photo and trying to upload it to add to the Wikipedia entry on myself. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Carolemigden (talk • contribs) 21:29, 16 August 2019 (UTC)

@Carolemigden: "Senator Migden at the premier of the award winning film Political Animals." This doesn't look like a selfie. Did you go to a movie premiere and took your own photo? Are you certain that a news photographer did not take this photo? Thuresson (talk) 21:49, 16 August 2019 (UTC)

Please restore the following pages:

Reason: This file has exact same content as File:Qualification Pathway for 2023 ICC Cricket World Cup.png except it was written in Bengali. since when png file written in bengali became obsolete or out of project scope? I believe this was incorrect deletion. Before deleting & removed by a bot, it was used on bnwiki. According to COM:INUSE policy "A media file that is in use on one of the other projects of the Wikimedia Foundation is considered automatically to be useful for an educational purpose, ..... a file is not liable to deletion simply because it may be of poor quality: if it is in use, that is enough." Therefore i'm requesting for restore this file. Thank you. আফতাবুজ্জামান (talk) 23:49, 16 August 2019 (UTC)

The picture was uploaded to Wikimedia with the same license as stated on the linked website (as stated in the "alt" tag of that image). Additionally, I was given permission by the rights holder to upload that image. Graufeder (talk) 09:16, 17 August 2019 (UTC)

Presumably, this is about File:Ralph Stock Portrait.jpg. I don't know if I'd expect license reviewers to check the source code of websites for alt tags containing licensing information (since these are not normally displayed if the image loads as expected), but I can confirm that it reads "Ralph Stock Portrait, Cc-by-sa-4.0". It's not really clear who the author is, though. LX (talk, contribs) 09:44, 17 August 2019 (UTC)
Correct, sorry for causing confusion about the filename. I don't know how else license reviewers would check the licenses of pictures (showing the license directly under the picture as a text outside the source code is not always wanted, and not the whole website runs under that license). I can ask the rights holder to send that OTRS e-mail if I have to, but honestly I wanted to spare us that effort. But I guess I'll do that this way then.Graufeder (talk) 09:57, 17 August 2019 (UTC)
Is the information about the author the only problem, then? Can an administrator or reviewer add this? (as long as the image is deleted, I can't). The author is to be found in the impressum of the company (see link in the footer of the website I linked above). —Graufeder (talk) 15:26, 17 August 2019 (UTC)

I uploaded File:(아라TV) 방송 나와서 운동하다 가는 디크런치.webm on July 8 under {{YouTube CC-BY}}, as that was the license indicated at the time. At some point afterward, the license was modified to the Standard YouTube License. 大诺史 tagged the file as a copyright violation on August 4. I proceeded to add an archive link to the file's description page on August 6, along to the source code view-source:http://archive.is/ncSSv which verifies the Creative Commons license. I added a note on the file's talk page indicating this, as Creative Commons licenses are irrevocable. Arthur Crbz deleted the file on August 10 as a copyright violation. I contacted Arthur Crbz asking for clarification for the deletion. I did not receive a response despite this user making an edit about ten hours later. It has been over a week and I have yet to receive a response. This file should be restored per my aforementioned explanation. ƏXPLICIT 07:32, 18 August 2019 (UTC)

This File:TwilightLength.svg and File:TwilightLength.png were deleted as a result of Commons:Deletion requests/File:TwilightLength.png. The reason stated in that request was:

Misleading diagram. Thus no educational value. Explanation: At a latitude of +90° = 90°N, the north summer shows continous daylight, not "continous twilight". For the same reason, also File:TwilightLength.svg should be deleted. In contrast, File:Daylight Length.svg is correct. Torsch (talk) 21:09, 24 June 2013 (UTC)

The request is based on the view that daylight is not twilight, but other diagrams show that daylight is included in "technical twilight". See, for example, File:Types-of-twilight-en.svg.

The deleted files are interested in the length of (technical twilight); they are not interested in the length of (ordinary) daylight.

Furthermore, the hu.Wikipedia apparently uses a translated version of the deleted SVG file: File:TwilightLength-hu.svg.

Hello,

It's good that you doublecheck the uploaded images, but a more thorough check would have found that this image (File:AL_by_GS.jpg) is clearly uploaded under my name in other websites. The website where my image was found is using it illegally and I've sent them a message to remove it (edit: I now have confirmation that the image is now deleted from the website). I can provide original RAW files if needed, and it is clear that my file is much bigger than the version found online. This is obviously not possible without the original image.

I legit just went and took this photo 30 minutes ago. The date is 8/19/2019. This is available nowhere online and I give consent for others to use it. I request for this to be available to use as it does not infringe on any Copywrite to my knowledge. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Agrimmbeau (talk • contribs) 15:32, 19 August 2019 (UTC)

Just took this photo, it is still on my camera. It does not break any copyright that I know of and I give complete availability for it to be used within fair use. To my understanding, a photo of an exterior building like this, taken on a public street does not infringe any copyright. thumb — Preceding unsigned comment added by Agrimmbeau (talk • contribs) 15:54, 19 August 2019 (UTC)

Ok, I have missed that part of what the uploader wrote. @Agrinmbeau: Fair Use is not something that you grant to people, it is a part of the copyright law in the USA and the principle is a part of the international conventions (other countries may call it something different). However, Commons is here to store media that is either in public domain or is released under some free licences and even an unfree licence or two in special cases. Those special cases do not apply here, so you can: 1) Accept that your image cannot be hosted here. 2) Chose at least one licence from the available licences (I personally prefer Free Art License, but majority of people release their work here under Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike). 3) Relinquish all the rights to an image and release it into the public domain. ℺ Gone Postal ( ) 08:05, 20 August 2019 (UTC)

  • I still don't quite understand why the administrator who originally and very helpfully assisted me in uploading the photo, felt it should be called a UK government image. I explained that it isn't a government image, it was in my father's personal collection. During the war pilots and doubtless those servicemen and women in the other armed services took thousands of personal informal photos which were not handed over to the RAF, Army or Navy. I'm advised by the historian who works with the Battle of Britain Memorial Trust that there are probably hundreds or more of such images in Wikipedia. It was a personal photo which belonged to my late father who is the subject of the photo, which has passed to me his son as an executor of his will and his beneficiary regarding his RAF memorabilia.
  • My understanding of the general position is that if my father took the photograph (or in this case a squadron colleague took the photo for him with his camera) then, broadly, copyright rests with him for 70 years after his death. After death, in some cases the use of the copyright material would be decided by "literary executors". Keith like most people didn't have "literary executors", so it would be the normal executors - in this particular case myself and my sister as joint executors of his will.
  • I have also made what I hope are helpful comments on this on this page: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Deletion_requests/File:Keith_Lawrence_climbing_from_Spitfire_in_1940.jpg
  • I would be most grateful if you could please change the classification of the photograph to reflect this as I don't know how to do this: both my late father and I were/are perfectly happy for the photo to be in the public domain. Also of course, if you could please undelete the photo from the article, as the article is much enhanced by its inclusion. Although a quiet and modest man, Dad was proud of what he and his comrades did during his and their wartime service, and I share that on his behalf. Thanks.

Geoffhl (talk) 17:30, 19 August 2019 (UTC)

@Geoffhl: We can assume COM:AGF for user uploads, but only if the information provided by users is consistent and accurate. If it is not (like in this case: you initially marked the image as copyrighted by the government) for any reason, we need an evidence for image copyright status: either based on publicly available resources, or provided following COM:OTRS instructions. Unfortunately, OTRS is a slow way, but probably the only available in this case (eg. I doubt that you can prove basing on public records only, that the anonymous Wikimedia user Geoffhl is the heir of the photographer who made the photo). Ankry (talk) 23:18, 19 August 2019 (UTC)

Thanks Ankry.

  • I would like to say a few more words on the 'information provided by user' when the photo was first uploaded. As I was new to contributing to Wikipedia I had difficulty with how to upload a photo. As I remember it (and my memory is not too reliable these days) I managed to have a 'live chat' (interactive) with one of your colleagues. After the 'chat' had gone on for some time, he realised with some surprise I was Keith's son and did what he could to be helpful. I was very grateful for his help. However, I was surprised that he thought the photograph could be government property, as it came from my father's photo album which covered his training in the RAF and is first real posting, to Leconfield, where the photo was taken. I don't have a record of the 'live chat', but your colleague told me how he was going to 'tag' (is that the right word?) the photo, and I went along with what he said, as he assisting me in using the photo on Keith's/Dad's Wikipedia page. I'm sorry to say I still don't really understand the system, which for a non-technical beginner I find pretty complex to understand.
  • I will now do as you recommend and contact permissions-commons@wikimedia.org as set out via the COM:OTRS page. Thanks again for your help.

I uploaded and inserted the logo of the ELF experiment as part of a means to contribute to the article about this experiment, contained in the article about Space Shuttle Columbia mission STS-87.

As the image is already a commonly used and not otherwise protected by limited use copyright in my opinion and as I could not contribute the true author, I understand why this might seem like a violation and subsequent deletion, so earlier today I added the article concerned as a reference as well.


I rather would like to add this image still; not as my own work, understanding the issue here as I only want to contribute to the article and also to Elfquest, whom I loved ever since I discovered the series in 1992 in Belgium.

So I hope you will help me out as I mean no violation nor disrespect. I also added the article regarding publication of the ELF storyon the official Elfquest page.

I point your attention to the following remark from said article as to what may allow as selecting this as 'my' work:

"Dennis Stocker, leader of the NASA Lewis ELF team and avowed Elfquest reader, contacted Warp Graphics publisher Richard Pini in August, 1996, requesting Warp’s assistance in designing a logo for the experiment, perhaps “lending” an Elfquest character to the cause. Because artwork used by NASA is copyright-free, none of the existing characters could be used. The solution? Create a new elf, who would embody the goals of the experiment in particular and the spirit of the space program in general." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vikinghammer1979 (talk • contribs) 13:44, 20 August 2019 (UTC)

Best regards,

--Vikinghammer1979 (talk) 13:33, 20 August 2019 (UTC)

@Vikinghammer1979:
  1. You claimed that you own copyright to the logo which is clearly fake
  2. If the logo is free, we need a clear evidence for that.
  3. Just been used by NASA does not mean free of copyright.
  4. The abovementioned page clearly states: "Elfquest and the Warp Wolf logo are registered trademarks, and all other logos, characters, situations, related indicia, and their distinctive likenesses are trademarks of Warp Graphics, Inc. All ElfQuest art © 2017 Warp Graphics, Inc. All rights reserved worldwide." Which is not a free license declaration.
 Oppose in conclusion. Ankry (talk) 05:23, 21 August 2019 (UTC)

Good morning Ankry,

Thank you for replying. Allow me to elaborate on your answers.

  1. I do aknowledge the owning is fake, as mentioned before. I just wanted to contribute to an article in the proper way but I am a little puzzled how to attribute the proper ownership otherwise, so feel free to guide me.
  2. as the image is already being issued for use by NASA, who upholds a copyright-free policy (meaning unless mistaken, all can use it), it means it can be used by all, no?
  3. if this was that much an issue, I wonder how the images used on STS-87 would not be a violation either of said rules and regulations as described, so how can we augment an article with images if they are clearly not the author's property either (I will accept proper validation)

If either is not sufficient, you can always advise me on how I can get the image inserted the proper way as it is not very clear to me how to do it otherwise.

I hope this response will aid in further clearing my request.

--Vikinghammer1979 (talk) 07:24, 21 August 2019 (UTC)

@Vikinghammer1979: "issued for use by NASA" does not make anything free. The copyright exclusion we use for NASA works applies to government employees only. So the key question here is: was it created by a person who was a regular NASA employee at that time? Otherwise, we need an explicit license from the actual copyright holder: maybe from the author, maybe from NASA, maybe from somebody else - I do not know. Ankry (talk) 14:10, 21 August 2019 (UTC)

 Not done: No evidence has been provided that the original image was created by an official NASA employee in the course of duty. This would have been the only obvious reason for the logo being PD. --De728631 (talk) 17:38, 24 August 2019 (UTC)

Materials of the website "Myrotvorets" can be used under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 License: this is explicitly stated at https://myrotvorets.center/about/. More over, this link was given in a file description, but probably was not overseen by deleting admin. Therefore, I request undeletion of the site logo. This is to use the logo in infoboxes of corresponding Wiki articles. --Ostaltsov (talk) 12:30, 23 August 2019 (UTC)

@大诺史: Can you comment on this? Why did you claim that there is no free license at https://myrotvorets.center/about/ ? Ankry (talk) 12:46, 23 August 2019 (UTC)
@Ankry: The site only claimed free license for materials produced can be re-used with credit given. This claim doesn't necessarily mean that the logo is free to use as the logo is not a material. Correct me if I'm wrong. (Talk/留言/토론/Discussion) 12:53, 23 August 2019 (UTC)
However, this logo describes the site concept and was produced by the site authors. Therefore, until somebody shows the same logo in use of other entity with a date earlier than that of the site "Myrotvorets" creation, this logo is a part of "Myrotvorets" materials. --Ostaltsov (talk) 13:02, 23 August 2019 (UTC)
(Edit conflict) My doubt concerning 大诺史's interpretation is related to some materials in this site, that are fully integrated with the logo, eg. [8]. So can the license really exclude the logo? So I tend to  Support undeletion. However another opinion is welcome. Ankry (talk) 13:04, 23 August 2019 (UTC)
 Support OK, so what is the decision? If the site logo is not in use anywhere else and nobody claims copyright, why it cannot be concluded to be a part of the site materials? --Ostaltsov (talk) 13:29, 23 August 2019 (UTC)
The decission is to wait the standard 24 hours for other opinions. Ankry (talk) 16:02, 23 August 2019 (UTC)
@大诺史: , now https://psb4ukr.org/about/ states that "All texts and graphic materials are licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License". This definitely includes a site logo.--Ostaltsov (talk) 15:19, 23 August 2019 (UTC)
The site has a copyright notice without any exception. I oppose undeletion.--Ymblanter (talk) 13:54, 23 August 2019 (UTC)
Now the site does not have such a notice. Thus please, undelete their logo. --Ostaltsov (talk) 15:13, 23 August 2019 (UTC)
I still see a copyright sign. The site can not say at the same time that the materials are copyrighted and distributed under free license. It is either / or.--Ymblanter (talk) 16:38, 23 August 2019 (UTC)
@Ymblanter: A free license doesn't remove the copyright. I still own the copyright to all of my own photos that I've uploaded on Commons. That's the reason that I and only I could transition a CCBYSA 4.0 license to a CC0 license if I so choose. GMGtalk 18:14, 23 August 2019 (UTC)
Sure, but you do not upload the files and simultaneously add the copyright sign to them? For me, the copyright sign and the free license next to each other mean all the content of the site is under copyright, and they either have no isea what free license means, or just intentionally put both in order to be able to sue or to troll.--Ymblanter (talk) 18:26, 23 August 2019 (UTC)
I know that there are a number of contributors here who have their cameras set to automatically include © GreenMeansGo 2019 in the meta data of their images. That doesn't really pertain to whether their CCBYSA license is legitimate (unless it obviously doesn't match the uploader). Whether we assume good faith is a different story, but if you are uncomfortable, you can always archive.org the current version of their page and include that in the source description rather than a live link. GMGtalk 18:30, 23 August 2019 (UTC)
I am sorry I just disagree. This is a website I absolutely refuse to assume good faith towards - this is in fact the first ever complaint crowdsoursing database. Apart from this, for me, if I see a copyright sign and a CC-BY-SA license next to each other (as opposed to say copyright sign and a notice that all pictures of elephants are CC-SY-BA), for me this does not mean the material is CC-BY-SA. For me it means the site owner has no clue what copyright means. I can be overruled of course but I am not going to restore the file as soon as unconditional copyright sign remains there.--Ymblanter (talk) 18:52, 23 August 2019 (UTC)
I mean, regardless, the copyright symbol doesn't pertain in any legal way to the validity of the CCBYSA, and if that's the only issue we are dealing with here, then we should Restore it. The operative bit for our purpose is not the "copyright" bit, but the "all rights reserved bit". The CCBYSA in this case defines the terms under which they have exercised their copyright related rights. GMGtalk 19:12, 23 August 2019 (UTC)
@Ymblanter: Only content that is © can be freely licensed: eg. under CC0 or CC-BY-SA. The "All rights reserved" declaration is something that generally contradicts with a free license. Ankry (talk) 20:15, 23 August 2019 (UTC)
@Ymblanter: , here are recommended markings with Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 license. They all include a ©symbol. Now Myrotvorets reproduces one of them. I suppose, this is enough to interpret it's content as licensed under Creative Commons.--Ostaltsov (talk) 10:25, 24 August 2019 (UTC)
A copyright sign/notice simply says that copyright exists. CC-BY-SA is a license for that copyright. They are not contradictory. Similarly, "All rights reserved" also simply says that copyright exists (it was the equivalent of a copyright notice for the w:Buenos Aires Convention). Seeing that combined with CC-BY-SA is also not contradictory. The latter is again just a license for that copyright. Whether we think a site license also includes the logo... not as sure. But may be reasonable. Carl Lindberg (talk) 15:14, 25 August 2019 (UTC)

✓ Done: A free licence has been added to the source website that covers practically all content over there (text and graphics). This is not contradicted by the (c) sign. In fact, holding copyright for a work is the requirement for granting a CC licence. Only "All rights reserved" would have been unacceptable. --De728631 (talk) 16:59, 25 August 2019 (UTC)

Just to note, "All rights reserved" would have been acceptable too. It's the exact same thing as the (c) sign. Carl Lindberg (talk) 23:44, 26 August 2019 (UTC)

Hello. This file was deleted with the reason given that it is on the subject's website. However, this has been uploaded by the owner as CC0 license on flickr so I do not understand how the fact that it also just so happens to be used by the subject on their website. Surely the fact it is uploaded as CC0 on flickr means it can be used anywhere freely? And it is not surprising that the subject would use pictures of themselves on their site.

I don't really understand what the issue is since it is clearly CC0 by the creator / owner on flickr, so the fact that it is used elsewhere should be irrelevant. If I am mistaken please let me know. Thank you.

@Camarmstrong: We must be very careful for Flickr washing cases. Unfortunately, we have no evidence that the CC0 license is granted by the photographer. Especially that this seem to be a single purpose account with no other photos by this author and as the EXIF information is missing. I suggest the copyright holder contact COM:OTRS and prove that they are the author or have a copyright transfer contract with the photographer. Ankry (talk) 14:02, 23 August 2019 (UTC)
@Ankry: Thank you for responding. I am not sure I can get them to go to all that trouble for something I am choosing to submit. I did correspond with the subject/owner who said it was 100% okay to use freely, but because I thought that may not be enough I had asked them to upload any free to use photo that I can use to flickr with CC0 attribution, which is why they uploaded this photo. I figured this would be the least intrusive and troublesome way based on what I had learned so far about the process (admittedly I am new to this). Would the correspondence COMBINED with the flickr upload CC0 be adequate? I feel like I have troubled them enough and this whole affair seems a little complicated to ask someone to do. Let me know what you think about this? Would the combination of the two suffice? If so, how do I show the correspondence? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Camarmstrong (talk • contribs) 15:46, 23 August 2019 (UTC)

We need hard evidence for any images that have been published before without a free licence, and we have no means to verify your identity or affiliation with Talenom through your Wikimedia account. Please send a permission for this file per email from your working email account at Talenom. See COM:OTRS for more information.

  •  Oppose for two reasons. First of all, purchasing a photo from the photographer does not automatically make you buy the copyright for it, too. You would need a special written agreement with the photographer for a transfer of copyright, and in some jurisdictions this is not even possible. Second, you seem to be a brand new Wikimedia user without any substantial contributions here or at Wikipedia. Our rules do not allow personal photos for any new users.

If this draft is promoted to live article status after review, a portrait of you would of course become a welcome addition to our uploads. Anyhow, there is still the copyright issue. Please consider having the free licence verified by email as you did with the "No Tie" image. De728631 (talk) 19:07, 28 August 2019 (UTC)

  •  Oppose Only this "somebody" can grant a free licence for the image, because copyright is not held by the person depicted in a photograph, but by the photographer. Also, I am not sure that a personal photo of you would be in our project scope. De728631 (talk) 18:38, 28 August 2019 (UTC)

Hello There is nothing wrong with this file and i don't know why he was deleted, this logo is official and was published by the club, all wikipedia pages were using it and now all those pages are without logo since there is no other source to take this logo from, that logo was published here essentially in commons in order to avoid publishing or creating fake logos looking like it. i hope you'll undelete it, thanks.

  •  Support You were notified on your talk page about the deletion discussion for this file. It was deleted because there was no evidence for the Creative Commons licence you provided for this file. I think, however, that it can be undeleted because it is a simple logo that consist only of text and geometric elements, so it should not be creative enough for copyright in Algeria.

  •  Oppose This has been published before without a free licence, so we need a permission by email from all writers and photographers mentioned in the scan, or a summary statement from the copyright holder (presumably Boulder County Business Report). Please see COM:OTRS for instructions and please note also that such a permission would have to be valid not just for use at Wikipedia, but for everyone to use this scan for any purpose even outside Wikipedia. Also, please explain why you need to use a full scan of a news article? E.g. attributing facts and figures in Wikipedia is not done by adding a scan of the original news item, but by citing the title, author and publication of the news in the Wikipedia article. Or, if you would like to use the photograph of John Fischer, you should rather have uploaded a cropped version of the image without the text, using a file format like JPG.

- no reason given by deletor nor is it even clear they're even an admin - believe in scope enough for 1.4 mb in sandbox and no copyvios

Hello and thanks for taking the time to consider this request

reasons:

1) no reason given by deletor

2) nor is it even clear they're even an admin

3) As near as I can tell the 'work' is in scope enough for 1.4 mb in a user sandbox - no one is suggesting it needs to remain more than a month or two or even a couple days

4) I'm pretty certain there aren't any copyvios and any there are can be remedied easily enough

5) A pdf wouldn't be necessary if txt formats (near as which I can tell all of which are free) or temporary post to sandbox were possible

6) in fact I have many many many more reasons but I'm not going to bore you unless you tell me you're interested - as my first upload and use of Commons I won't lie to you I'm new to this - not to seem to be trying to invoke a stop biting the newcomer defense or anything. I will say I know for a fact KrakatoaKatie and Mandruss are socks because I saw her use both at her house over her shoulder when she had whats alleged to be her kid drag me in there for the Bobbit stroganoff - and thats how I remember her fritzl room. I'll tell you how I got out of that too if you ask. Not going to tell you I think she had Bonnie Craig and Jael in there. Or that well you know who is gassing em in his city and short busses and chaining them to the seat. Kind regards, - 55378008a (talk) 05:59, 30 August 2019 (UTC)
