Files uploaded by GameOfLight

In Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by GameOfLight, a lot of images were deleted using the argument that the images were licensed as cc-by-nc-sa. However, the images were uploaded several years ago with a CC-BY-SA license that made they available to even win some of the local contests of Wiki Loves Monuments 2012. I don't see how images uploaded for a contest by the author are later deleted, even if they were uploaded with an accepted license.

The only reason I can see is that the author's Flickr account uses a NC license... but that doesn't mean the pictures available in Commons were uploaded using that license. Both sites are different and the author may have accepted to release some pictures under a free license to participate (and win!) a prize in WLM. --B1mbo (talk) 21:32, 17 December 2019 (UTC)

Well, if there is no doubt that the Wikimedia user is the same person as the Flickr photographer (as you suggested closing the DR) then I 100% agree with the above and  Support undeletion. And, if it is suggested that the images were copied from Flickr by a third party, we need some evidence for this, which was not provided in the DR. @Wdwd: can you comment on this, please? Ankry (talk) 22:33, 17 December 2019 (UTC)

Can you please undelete File:Homenaje a los Dos Congresos.jpg? Its EXIF may shed some light on whether the wiki user is the flickr user.--Roy17 (talk) 18:50, 18 December 2019 (UTC)

It seems that the author was aware of the problem and tried to fix it. Ankry (talk) 13:15, 19 December 2019 (UTC)

Hmm. This is a difficult one. We have no direct evidence that Boris G and GameOfLight are the same person. It is true that the Boris G Flickr account is at https://www.flickr.com/people/gameoflight/, but that proves nothing -- another unrelated person could have opened the GameOfLight username here to upload the images without permission.

To further confuse matters, File:Homenaje a los Dos Congresos.jpg does not appear on the Flickr site. Similar images of the Argentine Congress building appear near the bottom of this page, but not this one.

They are beautiful images, so they deserve some thought here. Carl, what do you think? .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 14:00, 19 December 2019 (UTC)

I'd have to  Support, especially if you found an image which exists on Commons which does not exist on the Flickr account (while being similar to others which do), as that could not have been copied by someone posing as the Flickr account. The account was created on Flickr in April 2013, and the account here in September that same year, while referencing the Flickr account immediately on their user page. The photos on the Flickr account do seem genuine, as they are often uploaded not long after being taken from the looks of it. The image you note, per its upload logs, had its EXIF license fixed two days after upload (two fixes, per the logs). I probably would have leaned support even without that one image, as it does not seem like someone faking the account as a gut feel, but I think that one clinches it for me. I see six images of that building on the Flickr site now on the page you mention, and six on this October 2013 snapshot of the Flickr page, so it doesn't seem as though any have been deleted since. Carl Lindberg (talk) 15:09, 19 December 2019 (UTC)

 Support Carl, I should have thought of that -- thank you. I was leaning that way anyway, but the similar image that does not appear on Flickr clinches it for me. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 19:14, 19 December 2019 (UTC)

Yall can find his GMAIL in exif https://www.flickr.com/photos/gameoflight/30682702692/

I did, emailed, got a reply and forwarded that ticket:2019121910001951. Yall can spam him with more emails until one sensible sysop can finally accept the fact that he's the owner.--72.15.59.177 20:30, 19 December 2019 (UTC)

? What brought that on? It's pretty clear that there is strong support here from two Admins and one highly regarded non-admin. Be patient. We do take our time when we are dealing with a great many images (82 in this case). .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 15:13, 20 December 2019 (UTC)
@Jameslwoodward and Clindberg: Only this single image has EXIF data fixed; all others still have "Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0" in EXIF. I would like to ensure: do you support undeletion of all of them? Ankry (talk) 08:36, 28 December 2019 (UTC)
Yes. We accept images that have full copyright notices and "All Rights Reserved" in the EXIF provided we were satisfied (as I am here) that the photographer and the user who uploaded the image with an acceptable license are the same person. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 10:37, 28 December 2019 (UTC)
As long as it's the same person, which feels pretty much proved, yes -- it's OK to have one license on Flickr and another here, though obviously anyone who finds the license here can use it under those terms, and ignore the Flickr ones. Either the Flickr user and the uploader are the same person, meaning all the licenses they gave when uploading are valid and we keep all of them, or it was someone faking the Wikimedia account meaning the free licenses are all invalid and we delete all of them. Deleting just some of them makes no sense to me. Carl Lindberg (talk) 13:57, 28 December 2019 (UTC)

L'ensemble de ces images POSIBLOC P1 à P20 permettent de comprendre ce que réalise le système POSIBLOC TM, qui le produit et comment il est jugé par les utilisateurs sur les chantiers. il s'agit de mettre en évidence le dénigrement des images publiées par Clascertification dans WIKIMEDIA COMMONS, dans un but purement mercantile, sur la base de fausses informations (un bloc bleu n'est pas posé, posé il est vert!) et d'interprêtations trompeuses. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alain MOUQUET (talk • contribs) 16:09, 28 December 2019 (UTC)

So kindly request you for undeletion. Thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ragulparasuram (talk • contribs) 09:08, 30 December 2019 (UTC)

 Oppose First, please do not claim {{Own}} unless you were the actual creator of the work -- in this case, the photographer of all the images and the designer of the poster. Claiming that you are the creator of work created by others is a serious violation of Commons rules.

In cases like this, when an upload is not actually own work, on the Web with a free license, or PD for some specific reason, policy requires that an authorized official of the production company must send a free license using OTRS. .     Jim . . .

File:Buran Shuttle.jpg

The photo is a historic photo taken 40 years ago, which was made public by the Soviet army during the fall of the USSR, so it has its place here! The "source" of this image is a Twitter thread made by ... Myself, so I didn't steal the photo from myself! Thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment was added by 2A01:CB10:3A1:A600:90E5:9FFF:14E1:CEB7 (talk) 22:35, 30 December 2019 (UTC)

 Oppose 1988 is not 40 years ago. Photo © Albert Pushkarev / TASS at tass.ru. Thuresson (talk) 23:57, 30 December 2019 (UTC)
The uploader claimed to be the photographer and copyright owner (that is what "own work" means), which is almost certainly not the case. Copyright lasts an extremely long time (typically at least 50 or 70 years, and often 70 years after the death of the human author), so if not the copyright owner, we would need a reason why copyright has expired, which doesn't seem likely to exist. Russia retroactively restored all works to 70 years from publication for anonymous works, and the life of the author and 70 more years for works where the author was named (see Commons:Copyright rules by territory/Russia). Even if it's a Soviet Army work, presumably the Russian government would now own the copyright, and would have to license it. And per the above, TASS would own copyright, and it will last for at least 70+ years from now (it appears Pushkarev is still alive, as he has a facebook page). It may be possible to use it under a fair use rationale on particular wikipedias, but the image would have to be uploaded directly there -- Commons cannot accept "fair use" images; they must be licensed or public domain by virtue of the copyright expiring (in both the country of origin, and the U.S.).

Thank you Maciej Sikorski --Maciej Sikor Sikorski (talk) 11:23, 1 January 2020 (UTC)

@Maciej Sikor Sikorski: Unfortunately, as the photo was used elsewhere prior to your upload, we need to verify your claims basing either on public records (eg. pointing out a freely-licensed publication of this photo which is older than your upload), or on non-public information/documents send via email following COM:OTRS instructions. Note, that limiting use to media purposes or just "to use" is a non acceptable limitation. Any content uploaded here must be free for any purpose, also for commercial reuse and derivative work creation and we require that the copyright holder declares not to revoke this permission in future. That is why such a permission has to be granted either by the photographer (if they still hold copyrights) or by a person/institution having copyright transfer contract with them.

Hi. This and all other files are indeed may own work. I (Rostislav Botev/lotroo) am unpleasantly surprised on your decision because I am a professional mapmaker and I don't need to prove this. You may establish that most of these maps have no equivalent somewhere in the net, especially in Bulgarian. My mapmaking software is MAPINFO PROFESSIONAL and I create different kind of map since 20 years. Our problem is that in Bulgarian there's not so many published maps as in English... With Wikipedia I saw an opportunity to repair this situation. So, please undelete these maps. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lotroo (talk • contribs) 17:30, 1 January 2020 (UTC)

No, sorry. One of the conventions here is that people with credentials more than ordinary users have a User Page showing those credentials so that their colleagues can easily check up on them. The fact that your username shows up in red immediately raises flags when you claim to be an OTRS agent.

Category:A. A. van Achterberg Collection Achterberg 4  : Please a fair discussion or a fair rejection if you must

Dear Undeleters,

My recent honest request for the same photos was rejected out of hand, by ~riley it appears. This seems unfair, as

  1. he should not judge this request, as he was the deleter? A request deserves an honest handling by people who are independent from the first deletion?
  2. he accuses me of "sloppy uploads" while i added metadata with descriptions in four languages and had all the legal and extra-legal permissions by the donor, for every uploaded image.
  3. he is taking (a probably well-earned) wikibreak, which makes him unavailable for comment.
  4. he refers to another rejected previous request for different though related Achterberg categories (1,2,3).

So please help Wikimedia in providing free access to free images of Africa, or reject my request if you must, but in any case use fair procedures.
Thank you, Hansmuller (talk) 14:27, 30 December 2019 (UTC)
PS1 I am the problem-free uploader of some 270.000+ images to Commons, not to boast, but to indicate that i am a serious Wikimedian.
PS2 You could allow temporary undeletion for discussion, isn't it? Thanks. Hansmuller (talk) 14:35, 30 December 2019 (UTC)

 Oppose The lengthy discussion cited four hours ago in the first UnDR above shows clear opposition from several experienced Admins and OTRS members. These images should be restored if and only if an appropriate OTRS volunteer receives, processes, and accepts a free license for the images and, if not himself an Admin, requests undeletion here. Repeated requests will not help your cause. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 14:47, 30 December 2019 (UTC)

@Jameslwoodward Thanks for your comment. What can i do to further resolution of this problem of nearly three months now? For some unknown reason it seems one member of OTRS-nl resists approval, but cannot state justifiable reasons or help me to satify reasonable demands. Compare my explanation at User_talk:Effeietsanders#Donations_and_permissions_for_files. Another member of OTRS-nl has inspected the original slides at Leiden University and approved of the upload.
* What should/could i do?
* Can i appeal the handling of this case by OTRS-nl, and if so, where? Isn't against the rationale of Wikimedia, to reject free legal images?Hansmuller (talk) 14:58, 30 December 2019 (UTC)
@Hansmuller: The talk page message you pointed out shows that there is a problem with US Copyright. To resolve this you need the appropriate copyright holder to provide a free license permission. Note, that the copyright holder may be the author personally, the author's employer (if a work was made during their employment duties), the author's heir, or somebody able to provide a copyright transfer contract originating from the author. If neither of them is able to provide a free license, the only way is to wait until the US copyright expire (for works of unknown authors or if the author's death date is unknown this is 95 years since initial publication or 120 years since the work creation - an evidence of any of them is needed). According to Wikimedia Commons rules, any work hosted here must be free in both: the country of origin (the country of initial publication) and The US. Being free in Netherlands is not enough. Ankry (talk) 16:23, 30 December 2019 (UTC)
@Ankry: Dear Ankry, this Van Achterberg Collection Donor permission 2019 license is not valid in the US? Appeal against a mistake of OTRS-nl is impossible? (We all make mistakes, at least i do :-) )Thanks, Hansmuller (talk) 10:47, 31 December 2019 (UTC)
There are currently OTRS volunteers looking at the matter. Let's hope they will soon decide and wait for their judgement. Vysotsky (talk) 11:00, 31 December 2019 (UTC)
I have moved Van Achterberg Collection Donor permission 2019 to User:Hansmuller/Van Achterberg Collection Donor permission 2019 as the page was not a COM:GALLERY. I assumed this would be preferred over deletion. ~riley (talk) 08:58, 3 January 2020 (UTC)
@Ankry: Dear Ankry, No, I'm waiting since October 10, 2019 and there is no progress. 2+ GB ? of "my" annotated legal files with descriptions in en, fr, dutch, arabic are deleted. I for one can't wait any longer. We should know how to handle this properly. Appealing a decision (or lack of a decision with deletion) is a normal procedure in the western world, isn't it? Thanks, Hansmuller (talk) 11:16, 31 December 2019 (UTC)
@Hansmuller: I am not an OTRS team member. I can refer only to information provided to the public. OTRS issues need to be resolved inside OTRS. The comment you referred suggested to me US license problem, but the actual ticket processing state is known only to OTRS agents. Ankry (talk) 13:07, 31 December 2019 (UTC)
  • Geez. This is a convoluted ticket to be sure, even without trying to make sense of it in Dutch. @Hansmuller: I would greatly appreciate it if you would be patient, although I realize your patience has been taxed already. We are all volunteers contributing with what spare time we have. (I myself am trying to make sense of this at six in the morning, and I've not even finished my coffee yet.) OTRS is also not normally involved in trying to sort such a large amount of files at once, which is no small task, as I'm sure you appreciate.
I'm not sure if this has been suggested already, and if it has I apologize. But people can and often do avoid the OTRS process all together by publishing the files online with a publicly verifiable free license. This can be done on an independent website, or via an image hosting service, probably the easiest of which is Flickr. In this way, all we should need to do is verify the authenticity of the website or Flickr account. The author can specify exactly what files they upload, and can specify a specific license for each. These can then be restored if they have been deleted, or can be batch uploaded via semi-automated script. The license can be verified at the point of upload and preserved in perpetuity here on Commons, even if they are later deleted at the source page.
Even uploading the files onto Flickr may be no small feat, but it should at least ensure that steady progress is made, rather than spending a lot of time and effort with possibly limited success. GMGtalk 11:33, 31 December 2019 (UTC)
@GreenMeansGo Dear GreenMeansGo, thank you for this workaround! I prefer to solve problems at their heart, so that other people (uploaders) also can benefit from improved procedures. I trust and support Wikimedia and its volunteers of course, so i would like to work through them. But it is nice to have the backup you suggest, I'll have a look (or will it be considered a loophole that Wikimedia people will close?). Thank you, cheers, Hansmuller (talk) 08:39, 3 January 2020 (UTC)
If the uploader were to choose to upload the files to their own website or to Flickr with a Creative Commons website, it would not be considered a loophole in any way and the files would be accepted accordingly as long as the authorship is believed to be authentic (i.e. actually uploaded by the uploader). Alternatively, the "client" could also just email us and talk to us directly to work through this, it isn't actually useful for us or you to be playing this middle man game. This doesn't have to be a complicated process. I would also personally accept "photos taken in Africa between day month year to day month year" as the images all have metadata if I am remembering correctly; I cannot confirm others would accept that. ~riley (talk) 08:58, 3 January 2020 (UTC)
Yes, this is correct. This would in no way be a loophole, and is the way that probably many millions of files have made their way onto Commons. OTRS often deals with verifications that have privacy implications. But if the author isn't concerned about privacy and is willing to release the images publicly, then the only thing that really matters is that we can properly verify the license, whatever form that may take. GMGtalk 23:03, 3 January 2020 (UTC)
Hi Hans, you have been contacting me (as OTRS-member and Commons-admin) and several of my colleges repeatedly with this request, and as I tried to explain to you: please have a bit more patience. Effeietsanders is now managing your tickets and he will come back to you, I'm sure everything will turn out just fine. And no: I do not think you are a 'sloppy uploader': you are one of our very valued WiR's with lots of experience when it comes to Commons and images. But as you now, Christmas and New Year are big holidays in Europe and America, which might be the reason of the delay. I do not see any reason to rush this case though and would prefer just waiting for Eia. Ciell (talk) 22:51, 3 January 2020 (UTC)

 Oppose per Commons:Deletion requests/File:Rudolfwiki2.jpg A 1950 photograph is unlikely to be out of copyright. Sadly "nobody complained" is not a defense on Commons. Abzeronow (talk) 21:26, 2 January 2020 (UTC)
It is a photograph from the subject's identity document issued in 1950 by the city authority. Isn't it therefore in public domain by its very nature? Tatraplan (talk) 16:24, 3 January 2020 (UTC)Tatraplan
You'd be surprised by how often cities are able to copyright content created by them. Even if we could accept at face value that the photographer is anonymous, 70 years since publication (or creation if never published) has not yet elapsed and so it would still be in copyright. Abzeronow (talk) 16:35, 3 January 2020 (UTC)
But it is 70 years 1950+70=2020? Hence 70 years since creation of this identity/passport document, isn't it? Tatraplan (talk) 16:58, 3 January 2020 (UTC)Tatraplan

User Yann (talk) has gone on a deletion spree of my uploaded photos - mostly Vespa scooters. I have no idea how he justifies this, these are all photos taken by me, of my own scooters, mostly in my own backyard! If you could please undelete these, that would be great - that would seem to be easier then re-uploading them. Cheers Deathlibrarian (talk) 04:55, 4 January 2020 (UTC)

  •  Comment Please do not reupload, as that is against the policy. You have gone a correct route, and filed an Undeletion request. Now, there is a question, Yann has claimed that this was a copyright violation. Can you please explain what free licence is this file distributed under, and how you have arrived at that conclusion? ℺ Gone Postal (〠 ✉ • ✍ ⏿) 06:02, 4 January 2020 (UTC)
    • Judging by the deletion comments, Yann found the images on Facebook as well. Since accounts here are anonymous, it's hard to tell if it is actually the author (in which case any uploaded licenses are just fine), or someone who found nice photos on the Internet and uploaded them here (in which case the licenses are not valid). Normally we require COM:OTRS verification of images previously published on the Internet, unless there is also some indication of the license at the source. Carl Lindberg (talk) 08:08, 4 January 2020 (UTC)

@GuitarFreak: Unfortunately, anybody can say this and we are not able to verify on-wiki whether you are actually the reddit user who has uploaded this photo. As for any photo that has been uploaded elsewhere prior to its upload to Commons we need either (1) a clear evidence that it was uploaded to both sites by the same physical person, or (2) free license evidence at the initial upload site, or (3) a written free license permission emailed to Wikimedia OTRS following instructions on this page. Before any of those is verified, we cannot undelete the photo. Ankry (talk) 07:06, 14 December 2019 (UTC)

Permission only "to use" or only in specific web services is not compatible with Wikimedia Commons licensing requirements. See COM:L. Permission must be for any use by anybody, including derivative works and commercial reuse and must be declared to be irrevokable.

Please let his image be on the Wikipedia. He is very clean soal, people should know about him and they should take an inspiration from him. I'm not any friend and relative of Arthur Choo, even we are from different countries. I'm from India. I saw him at Singaporean news channel, he was helping poor and handicapped people.

In my opinion an image like this legend should be clicked n Wikipedia. From my country their are useless singers like 'Sidhu Moose Wala' and 'Karan Aujla', even they have Wikipedia page and images. I don't know how this is possible, even they are not notable than Arthur Choo.

So please don't delete this image. If you say, i can add more details and information in image. But please give this image some space in Wikipedia commons.

Першадрукар Францішак Скарына

Мой фотаздымак карціны "Першадрукар Францішак Скарына", які намаляваў мой тата, мастак Алесь Цыркуноў, быў размешчаны са згоды аўтара на сайце суполкі "Пагоня" і ў іншых смі.

File:JamesHolzhauerTheChase.jpg

This file has been nominated for deletion by TenPoundHammer for this reason: "[This image is] Clearly cropped from an episode of a game show and therefore [is] not a free image. [It is a] Straight up copyright violation."

On a surface level, it would appear this way, but if you dig deep into it, you'll see that the clip the screenshot in question was from is licensed under Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported. Also, the channel that uploaded this clip is the official Vimeo channel of the publicity department of Game Show Network (the copyright holders). So they chose to license this clip under that license. Because of this, the copyright violation nomination should be lifted.

File:Flag of the Highest Administrative Committe of Northeast (of China).png

The image qualifies as non-copyrightable {{PD-shape}}, so the declared deletion rationale (DW) was invalid. The file was used. Ankry (talk) 15:33, 2 December 2019 (UTC)

@Ankry: indeed it's unclear that said TOO is sometimes complicated (see the case of the Australian Aboriginal Flag for a non-free PD-shape), I'm in favour of opening a proper Deletion request and include File:Flag of Fengtian clique.svg which is the same flag. @Ninane, 舞月書生, 慎言慎行老法师, and JuTa: any opposition to a restoration for DR? Cheers, VIGNERON (talk) 16:28, 5 December 2019 (UTC)
@VIGNERON: This seems OK to me. Ankry (talk) 16:30, 5 December 2019 (UTC)
Well, the file was deleted as having no source: The given source https://www.fotw.info/flags/cn-1900.html brings up an Error 404 : Page not found! Changing the license to PD-shape does not realy solve that problem. --JuTa 16:37, 5 December 2019 (UTC)
@JuTa: Why do you suggest that a source was necessary in this case? Just few years ago per our policy the source was required only if it was necessary to determine copyright status of the image. So not in this case. The page provided as the source did exist: you can check this in internet archive. The flag does not seem also to be a hoax (see eg. here or here). We cannot expect that the provided source will exist forever (such requirement would contradict with our policy that permissions should be irrevokable - it would be too easy to revoke any permission just deleting the source). I suspect that the DR requester nominated this image per some COM:POINT (but at the moment I have no clear evidence for this). Ankry (talk) 21:39, 5 December 2019 (UTC)
If the source is available on internet archive, the source can be fixed. No complains anymore then to restore the image and fix source and license. --JuTa 07:17, 6 December 2019 (UTC)
My position did not change: the source is irrelevant and not needed as it was not needed at the upload time. Ankry (talk) 13:19, 19 December 2019 (UTC)

The "by" in CC-by-SA means attribution is required; you, however, attributed yourself, not Rosa Spier Stichting (and not Rosa Spier Huis), which suggests your representations regarding copyright, even if well-intended, are not reliable.

 Oppose While the article at https://www.huffpost.com/author/lreed-346 (which was the reason that the cited EN sandbox was deleted) strongly indicates that a photo of this Louis Reed would be in scope, it is a small image (724 × 1,086 pixels) with no EXIF, so I think we need a free license from the actual photographer using OTRS. .     Jim . . .

1) That's not necessarily publication and 2) if it was so simple ("A search that took me less than two minutes"), one wonders why you didn't bother to reference it.

OK, for the other one, https://www.hamhelsinki.fi/en/sculpture/aidinrakkaus-emil-cedercreutz/ published in 1928, installed in 1930. So 2024 if your view prevails on this for that one. As for the first one, 1924 would seem to serve the logical latest point for publication. Abzeronow (talk) 16:03, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
My view is merely that you've not provided the required evidence, not that these are or are not PD. If you have evidence that publication in Finland is installation in an area viewable/accessible to the public (as it is, for example, in Germany), I'd gladly restore them myself.

However, for the issue of verifying a sender has inherited intellectual property from another person, negatives are merely another physical object (like a physical photograph) that say nothing about intellectual property ownership. We would need a document like a will or other legal conveyance. Эlcobbola talk 15:22, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
Well, in some older copyright law of some countries (like UK or Australian) the copyright ownership was explicitly assigned to the negative owner. But it was generaly in 1950s or earlier. As I do not think that newer copyright law could simply transfer copyright back to photographers in such cases, this no way apples here: the photo is much newer. Ankry (talk) 00:47, 10 January 2020 (UTC)
 Oppose The uploader has uploaded four images of the same subject, all of which have been deleted because they come from copyrighted sources. Since the uploader claimed that he was the photographer in all four cases, his credibility is low. As elcobbola noted above, owning the physical work -- paper or digital copies, or the negatives -- proves nothing about the right to license the images. That right belongs to the photographer.
I don't think that would be possible in this case. No one let in will some family photos, but I'll ask anyway. --Ganímedes (talk) 16:30, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
I think the best way to restore credibility would be for the uploader to upload either File:Bilek-portrait.jpg or File:MarcelaBilek.png at full camera resolution with EXIF.
I also note that the sender's claim that he is the heir of the author of the 2002 image suggests strongly that he is closely related to the subject and, therefore, should not be editing the article Marcela Bilek as he has done five times. .     Jim . . .

File:Seph Lawless 2014.jpg

The subjects own website cites the images as marked Public Domain Mark 1.0 Self Portrait taken by Seph Lawless shown here: https://sephlawless.com/my-story/

Furthermore, the same image has been used in press interviews that are already listed as reputable sources listed on the subjects Wikipedia page including a recent post by Temple University https://events.temple.edu/seph-lawless and here’s an interview with same photo from last month: https://www.one37pm.com/culture/news/seph-lawless-photography-viral-photos

To say this image hasn’t been used dozens of times online over the last decade is faulty thinking. A simply google search shows this as a fact.

It makes utterly no sense the image was pulled other than the fact online vandals wanted to destroy the page (read talk page) 2600:1009:B019:433C:3C8F:6EA6:EC78:3FFF 21:51, 9 January 2020 (UTC)

 Oppose Per Commons:Deletion requests/File:Seph Lawless 2014.jpg. Thuresson (talk) 21:56, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
  •  Oppose - Commons:Deletion requests/File:Seph Lawless 2014.jpg was entirely proper. Copyright is generally held by the author (photographer), not the mere subject; accordingly, a purported PDM 1.0 offered by "Lawless" (a pseudonym) for a photograph of "Lawless" is not adequate and effectively license laundering. If "Lawless" is the copyright holder as purported, they need to produce either the document that conveyed to them the copyright or the related employment contract if this is a work for hire. Alternatively, if "Lawless" is not the copyright holder, the author (photographer) will need to provide permission directly. Either of these would need to be done using the process at COM:OTRS and in a manner that addresses the infirmities noted at the DR. Эlcobbola talk 22:15, 9 January 2020 (UTC)

Category:Men of South Korea by name

Part of the tree Category:Men by name by country.--Roy17 (talk) 18:50, 18 December 2019 (UTC)

This appears to be a general problem. We seem to have more than one category where "Men of <country>" is a parent category for "Men of <country> by name" while both categories are eventually sorted alphabetically by the person's family name. See e.g. Category:Men of Georgia and Category:Men of Georgia by name. Perhaps we should move all categories that are named after a person to a pattern of "... by name" and use the main category only for single images of persons without a dedicated category? De728631 (talk) 19:51, 18 December 2019 (UTC)
Sure seems like the "Men of <country> by name" is meant to be a flat list category, without subcategorization, while the parent cats can be subcategorized (such as the United States one). Ones where the parent cat has not yet been subcategorized are essentially duplicates, though that may not always be the case. If we allow the pattern overall, I don't see the harm in undeleting this.

File:Sztranyavszky Sándor 1938.jpg

Per COM:DIU. --Regasterios (talk) 09:17, 31 December 2019 (UTC)

 Oppose This file was not deleted here in 2014 or before. Also its URAA status seems to be clear; new information concerning US copyright status is needed to reopen the DR. An evidence of PD status in US is still required in Wikimedia Commons. If the photo was not PD in Hungary in 1996, nor its copyright was registered in the US Copyright Office, nor it remained unpublished till 2003, then it is copyrighted in US 95 years since first publication or 120 years since creation. Ankry (talk) 13:40, 31 December 2019 (UTC)
 Support Slavish adherence to URAA only serves corporate interests, making Commons a walled garden. It's out of copyright in Hungary, that's good enough for me. Abzeronow (talk) 17:20, 31 December 2019 (UTC)
  •  Oppose Abzeronow, Commons policy is very clear -- images must be freely licensed or PD in both the country of origin and the USA. The URAA is the law in the USA. If you are not prepared to follow Commons policy, then I suggest you stop editing here. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 17:31, 31 December 2019 (UTC)
I'll echo Regasterios's sentiments below, I'll accept your judgement on this if it is not restored. Commons policy seems muddled on the matter de facto. Abzeronow (talk) 17:35, 1 January 2020 (UTC)
  • Noting that there is a slight chance that the photo was unpublished since 2003; @Regasterios: but some inspection is needed to find evidence for this. Personally, I doubt that the 2006 publication on a blog (already deleted) was the first public appearence of this photo. Especially, due to low resolution. Ankry (talk) 17:46, 31 December 2019 (UTC)

Unfortunately I don't know when this photo was published at first. Probably it happened really not in 2006 by this blog. In fact, I thought a few months ago that only images could be uploaded to Commons that are PD in the US, not just in the source country. Then at some deletion requests I faced this justification which I gave above (for example: Commons:Deletion requests/File:BR - Baradla3.jpg). I admit, I don't understand the difference. But if you think the picture will not be restored, I accept. --Regasterios (talk) 18:41, 31 December 2019 (UTC)

Policy is to be PD in both the country of origin (the country of first publication, presumably Hungary here) and the U.S. Hungary was 50pma, but went to 70pma non-retroactively in 1994, then retroactively in 1999. So, authors who died in 1943 had their works expire in 1994, but then get restored in 1999. Authors who died 1944 or later got the 70pma terms without it ever becoming PD. It sounds like it then became PD in Hungary in 2016. For the U.S., foreign works got restored to the full U.S. terms (95 years from publication if published before 1978) on the URAA date, which was 1996 for Hungary. For this work, if created in 1938, the only hope is that it remained unpublished anywhere before 2003, which would then make it 70pma in the U.S. as well. But if it was published before 2003, which seems likely, then its U.S. copyright is still valid for some time, exactly when depending on when it was first published (best case would be published in 1938, at which point it becomes PD in the US in 2034). Works were usually made to be published, so I would generally assume publication near creation, though if we know it was a private photo that was not released until much later that can change things. Some admins ignore the URAA, although COM:DIU is *not* policy; that decision was overturned shortly thereafter and Commons:URAA-restored copyrights basically states current policy (repeats the short section which is on Commons:Licensing). Carl Lindberg (talk) 20:11, 31 December 2019 (UTC)

It is very likely publishing before 2003. --Regasterios (talk) 20:36, 1 January 2020 (UTC)

Did Not provide correct link in the beginning can someone please check this link it shows it is copyright free https://m.facebook.com/jernademiah/photos/a.221675694525893/2003536106339834/?type=3&source=54 --Bangladeshmusicians (talk) 18:03, 1 January 2020 (UTC)

First, multiple requests are a nuisance -- if you have more to say, please say it at the original request, not with new ones.

Second, the fact that you have control over the Facebook page proves nothing. I paged through a lot of images there and did not see this one, but I did see images of album covers and posters which have copyrights that obviously belong to different companies, so I conclude that the Facebook page is simply an unauthorized collection of images.

This image is very small and has no EXIF. Given that you are a proven copyright violator, the only way this might be restored is if you upload it at full camera resolution with full camera EXIF. If you cannot do that, then you are not the actual photographer as you claim. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 13:52, 2 January 2020 (UTC) (Jameslwoodward)

First statement i understand

Second statement i do not have control over that page it is clearly the artists page which he runs himself

Third Im not sure where i said its mine i was uploading it as its free from copyright further more im new to this so i'm learning as i go along --Bangladeshmusicians (talk) 14:23, 2 January 2020 (UTC)

I forgot to mention how you say i'm a proven copyright violator when the photograph itself states its copyright free little bit confused with that --Bangladeshmusicians (talk) 14:36, 2 January 2020 (UTC)

(Jameslwoodward) If you check the facebook page its verified, it's the authentic page for this artist himself & everything on there is 100% what it states --Bangladeshmusicians (talk) 14:42, 2 January 2020 (UTC)

You have control over the page, in the sense that you got the wording of the copyright statement changed. If it is not actually your page, it does not matter. It is clear that the Facebook page violates copyright many times, so the fact that it states that one image is free is meaningless -- and -- as I said, the subject image is not on the Facebook page, at least as far as I could see.

You used the template {{Own}} in the file description of the image. The template instructions say,

"Use this to say that you personally created the entire original image by yourself (for example, you drew the picture on paper, you used a camera to take the photograph, you painted the picture on canvas, etc.). Do not use this tag for any images that you saw on any website, downloaded from any source, scanned from a book, newspaper, or magazine, or copied from anything."

.     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 15:21, 2 January 2020 (UTC)

(Jameslwoodward) I most probably used the wrong template sorry about that oops. is it possible for someone to correct this thank you --Bangladeshmusicians (talk) 15:26, 2 January 2020 (UTC)

No. As I said above, whoever owns the Facebook page is obviously a copyright violator, so anything said there about the copyright status of an image cannot be relied upon. And, as I also said, the subject image is not there -- or at least not easily findable. The image is very small and has no EXIF. The only way this might be restored is if you (or the actual photographer) upload it at full camera resolution with full camera EXIF. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 18:00, 2 January 2020 (UTC) (Jameslwoodward) Ill try get intouch with the artist & see if they can do anything i'll update you here once i get a response & thank you --Bangladeshmusicians (talk) 07:29, 3 January 2020 (UTC)

Hi!

Per Commons:Copyright_rules_by_territory/Belgium#Freedom_of_panorama Belgium now have FOP. At least that is how I understand it.

Image:Justus Lipsius.jpg is used in an article in lb.wiki and I would like the file undeleted on Commons to credit the original uploader.

"sculptor (Emil Cedercreutz) died in 1949" Abzeronow (talk) 15:01, 10 January 2020 (UTC)

I never volunteer information when I am making an argument unless asked. Multiple sites including Wikidata d:Q18661875 say it's a 1938 scuplture. I can't provide a publication date because I haven't found one yet. If you want to wait until 2034, that's your prerogative, it's not my job to make that determination. However, it does seem a bit odd to tell Finnish people "sorry, you can't upload a picture of a sculpture to Commons that just became copyright free in your country because our American bosses told us so." But one has to just follow orders, I suppose Abzeronow (talk) 16:43, 10 January 2020 (UTC)
You're an American, whereas I am not. You thus can write your representative(s) if you object to your laws. In the mean time, that a work be PD in the US and its country of origin is policy. That you in all cases evidence your claims is policy. Эlcobbola talk 16:55, 10 January 2020 (UTC)

If I may advocate against this: right now, the copyright terms in the EU have no effect on the US. If that changes, then owners of older EU copyrights will point out to their representatives that less money in royalties is coming from the US to the EU, and this can be changed by increasing the copyright duration in the EU. The rule of the shorter term incentivizes copyright extensions by making it a foreign trade matter instead of just internal dispute between copyright holders and would-be work users, both citizens of the nation in question.--Prosfilaes (talk) 05:37, 11 January 2020 (UTC)

File:Wëll Lann P&Ch 016.jpg

The file was transferred from lb.wiki and was deleted because I started Commons:Deletion requests/File:Wëll Lann P&Ch 016.jpg. I started the DR because the mentioned permission was not stored in OTRS.

At that time I was not aware of {{Grandfathered old file}} so I started the DR to hear what admins thought of it.

The file was uploaded in august 2006 on lb.wiki. OTRS was first mentioned in lb-wiki in June 2011. The uploader (a trusted admin) was retired at that time so it was not possible to ask him send the permission to OTRS.

So I would like to hear if this file could be undeleted. Also I would like to hear if other old files from lb.wiki from 2006 and before could be moved to Commons with {{Grandfathered old file}}. --MGA73 (talk) 17:24, 10 January 2020 (UTC)

The guideline is at Commons:Grandfathered old files and the cutoff date is files uploaded before 2007. So it seems this would qualify.  Support Carl Lindberg (talk) 17:30, 10 January 2020 (UTC)

 Neutral Generally, I think that COM:GOF applies to files uploaded to Commons. It was general rule that files not fitting Commons policies should not be transferred here and so they should remain on local wikis. However, now there is an option to transfer files with history. So, maybe, this should be choosen instead of or before undeletion? Ankry (talk) 04:44, 11 January 2020 (UTC)
I dont think it really matters where the file was uploaded. But it is okay with me to use file import instead. --MGA73 (talk) 21:18, 11 January 2020 (UTC)
Well, If you can use fileimport, we can clearly apply COM:GOF. Ankry (talk) 21:26, 11 January 2020 (UTC)
I created the setup page fileimport and moved one file here (File:Rouenexpositionhall.jpg] so yes it is now possible. --MGA73 (talk) 22:22, 11 January 2020 (UTC)

Hello the file doesn’t violate copywrite as it has not been claimed by anyone, and is a popular image and the photo was a self created example of the meme format used — Preceding unsigned comment was added by 2A00:23C7:8A03:9F00:A166:54A2:6AA1:8825 (talk) 00:17, 11 January 2020 (UTC)

Basically what Ankry said, copyright is automatically given to works, and memes tend to be of copyrighted material.

This image is a movie poster promotion and we have full rights to it. The production of the film is done by Simon Kuruvila who has granted all rights to use it online. Hence, request you to undelete the file. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MaxinFrancis (talk • contribs) 09:33, 11 January 2020 (UTC)

 Oppose First, "all rights to use it online" is not sufficient. While you may use it online, that does not give you any right to freely license it and does not allow use in print. WP and Commons require that images be free for any use anywhere by anyone, including commercial use and derivative works. The producer should note that such a license allows anyone to make and sell copies of the poster.

Second, at the named source, we have "Copyright © 2020 Bennett, Coleman & Co. Ltd. All rights reserved".

File:Sceau communal pesche.gif

Bonjour,

si je comprends bien la raison de la suppression de l'image, c'est parce qu'il s'agirait d'un cachet postal français? Or Pesche se trouve bien en Belgique et n'est plus soumis au droit français depuis 1815. Qui plus est, il s'agit d'un sceau communal en usage avant la seconde guerre mondiale sur le même modèle que dans la majorité des communes sans armes officielles jusqu'à la fusion des communes en 1976, il a donc plus de 70 ans à son actif. D'autres justifications sont-elles nécessaires? Bonne journée, — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bobubu (talk • contribs) 20:50, 19 November 2019‎ (UTC)

 Oppose I agree that the reasons for the DR are incorrect. First, as you say, it is not French. Second, it is not a "stamp" in the sense used at COM:FRANCE#Stamps which speaks of postage stamps not rubber stamps (cancellation stamps). User:大诺史, please take note.

However, with that said, it is not clear that it is PD. In order to show that, you must show that it has been in use since before 1949. It might fit under {{PD-Belgium-exempt}}, but I'd like to see other opinions about that. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 14:37, 20 November 2019 (UTC)

  •  Oppose - The author is Benedikt Markel. This ticket is not from Benedikt Markel, and the sender has provided no evidence that 1) they have permission from Markel or 2) can license on Markel's behalf. This is not a valid ticket. Эlcobbola talk 19:11, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
    • Thanks for the response. Yes, I'm not sure of what I'm going to see on the page, that's one of reasons why I requested undeletion: to review the file and choose the appropriate response accordingly. I unlocked the ticket so that others (preferably admins, I think) can take care of it. Ahmadtalk 20:27, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
    • @Elcobbola: Is the ticket handled (by you?), or we can expect another undeletion request from a non-admin volunteer? Ankry (talk) 22:00, 6 January 2020 (UTC)

        • @GreenMeansGo: Don't know about other non-admin volunteers, but I personally can't handle a ticket without looking at the file and its details, so I think an admin can handle it much better. I'd personally appreciate your help at the ticket. By the way, the ticket should be unlocked, it just has my name because I locked it once. Once you lock it and send another message, it will be locked on you. Ahmadtalk 07:34, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
          • Well crap. Looks like someone else grabbed it out of the queue anyway. At any rate, I don't see that there is anything in particular about the file that should affect the ticket as it currently stands. As pointed out above, it is credited to Markel, and Markel isn't the person writing in. So if that's resolved, then I think it should probably all be okay. GMGtalk 17:23, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
            Yes. I think this can be closed now; the agent working on it will request again if needed. Ahmadtalk 17:48, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
  • Ankry's questions do not parse. Ahmad252 is handling the ticket, which is why they've made the request here. There is no need for me or another other admin to handle this ticket; its inadequacy is plain from the text of the email itself. Similarly, there is no need to restore the image, even temporarily, to make an(y) assessment. All Ahmad252 needs to do is reply paraphrasing what I've said above--permission needs to come from the author, or evidence needs to be provided that the sender is indeed authorised to license on the author's behalf. Frankly, this is OTRS 101 and I don't know why this was brought to UDR or why Ahmad252 would need to see the image. Эlcobbola talk 15:26, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
    @Elcobbola: There are two points: 1. The image itself, and 2. the details on the file page. If the image can be found elsewhere on the web on several websites, if it doesn't have metadata etc, these will/may affect my response. I know that asking for proof that they are the copyright holder is a part of the process, but I also think there are details affecting the final result, and I don't want to do the job inaccurately and/or incompletely. I can for sure open another thread after receiving evidence that the customer is the copyright holder and/or that the copyright holder has published the file under a suitable license, but I don't want to open another OTRS-review undeletion request for this one file since the risk of a re-deletion will still be there. I won't open undeletion requests like this one again unless I'm sure everything is taken into account, but since I've already opened this one, I'd prefer not to handle the ticket. Ahmadtalk 17:10, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
    @Elcobbola: My position is that the decision that undelete is not needed should come from the OTRS agent handling the ticket. Ahmad252 clearly refused to respond the ticket without viewing this image. So either another non-admin is able to do so, or an admin OTRS member decision is needed here.

Thank you in advance — Preceding unsigned comment added by AmraAB (talk • contribs) 14:22, 11 January 2020 (UTC)

 Oppose First, it is a serious violation of Commons rules to claim that you were the photographer as you did here when, in fact, you were not. Your comment above makes it clear that you were not the photographer of this image.

Second, "permisions to use it on wikipedia" is not sufficient. WP and Commons require that images be free for any use by anyone anywhere, including derivative works and commercial use.

Third, the subject of a photograph rarely has the right to freely license it; that right usually is held by the photographer.

I can’t check because it was deleted, but i think you should refund file:Algal_fruit_spot_of_guava_(9580462986).jpg because the author Scot Nelson released all their images in PD.

@NessieVL: Hi! Please give me some time to answer your message, I'm not in front of my computer 24/7... The mentioned image uses Public Domain Mark 1.0 on Flickr. This is not acceptable on Wikimedia Commons as it's not considered as a license (it has no legal value). It should be used only to flag content that may be considered in public domain. I strongly recommend you to read [2] and the boxes in Template:Flickr-public_domain_mark.
What you can do is to contact the uploader and ask him to change license for CC0. I hope it helps and answers your question. --Arthur Crbz (talk) 09:52, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
@Arthur Crbz: I believe the {{PD-author}} template was used. If this is no longer acceptable, then perhaps that is a discussion about 86724 files and should be held elsewhere. The author did not simply use the incorrect tag on flickr. Did you read the author’s release? --NessieVL (talk) 15:22, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
@NessieVL: {{PD-Author}} is a valid license template if used by the author himself. Otherwise, the uploader needs to provide an evidence that PD-Author (all its clauses) is indeed granted by the author. You failed to do so. And the author's declaration pointed out above is not 100% compatible with PD-Author, IMO (there is no fallback clause there). Ankry (talk) 16:49, 12 January 2020 (UTC)

 Oppose The tag on Flickr is the public Domain Mark, which is not a license, but only a statement of opinion, and which may be changed at any time. It is unacceptable here. The Commons File has {{PD-Author}}, which is good only if placed there by the author himself. Only the actual photographer could use that template to upload a file that is PDM on Flickr. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 20:15, 12 January 2020 (UTC)

PD-author is used when an author has declared their works public domain elsewhere. If it's the author themselves placing such a tag on a file, they would use PD-self. Carl Lindberg (talk) 20:20, 12 January 2020 (UTC)

 Not done: See multiple explanations above. The Flickr uploader needs to change the license for CC0 (or any other free license) so file can be undeleted. --Arthur Crbz (talk) 10:45, 13 January 2020 (UTC)

File:Herman Heijenbroek - jj Beijnes - werkplaats Haarlem- 1938.jpg

Second try, because the URAA thing delayed my response and I forgot all about it. This file was an illustration of a published work and the work was not made to illustrate the book, which itself is a history book. See earlier request in January.

Earlier undeletion request is Commons:Undeletion requests/Archive/2019-01. Jane023 (talk) 11:30, 30 December 2019 (UTC)

 Oppose I'm not sure I understand your comment here, or why it is relevant. I understand that the work was independent of the book, but included in it. Is that correct?

My point is that URAA is irrelevant here, as the work was previously published in an exhibition before this book was created and therefore copyright for Dutch artists apply as the work was created and exhibited in the Netherlands. Jane023 (talk) 11:41, 31 December 2019 (UTC)

Unless you can show that the book was published in the USA without notice or, if required, without renewal, I see no reason to reopen this discussion. The artist was Dutch and died in 1948, so his work is still under copyright in the USA. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 13:29, 30 December 2019 (UTC)

No, copyright for the Netherlands applies here and all later publiscations of the work (in the US or otherwise) are just faithful reproductions of a PD artwork. Jane023 (talk) 11:42, 31 December 2019 (UTC)

 Support as I did the earlier request. My opinion on URAA hasn't changed. Abzeronow (talk) 17:27, 30 December 2019 (UTC)

 Question Abzeronow, at the previous UnDR, you wrote nothing except  Support. Here, you give no reason why the URAA should not apply. As I see it, the work was under copyright until 2008, well past the URAA date. You may not like the URAA -- I certainly don't -- but it is the law and it is Commons policy to enforce it when it is clearly applicable, as it is here. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 21:03, 30 December 2019 (UTC)

Sorry if I wasn't clear, but URAA does not apply here as this work was already on show before 1924. Jane023 (talk) 17:14, 31 December 2019 (UTC)
Well, this is the book that was published in 1938; @Jane023: any evidence that the painting was created before 1924? Ankry (talk) 17:33, 31 December 2019 (UTC)
We are told that this was created for the 100th anniversary of the subject factory in 1938. The URAA restores copyright to all works that did not comply originally with US copyright law. Therefore, the only way this work avoids the URAA is if it was published with notice -- either in the 1938 book or in an exhibition where copying was allowed -- and, if necessary, the copyright was renewed. If that is the case, it must be proven. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 17:42, 31 December 2019 (UTC)
You are told that the book was created for that reason, but Heijenbrock travelled all over Europe making pastels and paintings of men at work for his museum of safety. This is one from that collection. Jane023 (talk) 18:46, 31 December 2019 (UTC)
When was the painting created? If we think it was published before 1925, it should be OK. For the URAA, the guidance (and policy) is that we should delete only when we basically know the URAA restored it, not that it was simply possible. When it comes to only was-it-published-or-not questions, I believe we should lean keep, unless we have some concrete publication info. If something was not created until later, then obviously we know it can't be PD. But if it was reasonably likely to be published more than 95 years ago, then the restored copyright would also now have expired in the U.S. The policy is that a careful URAA evaluation be done and delete only on significant doubt -- I think it's clear in this case it was not PD in the source country on the URAA date. After that though, there would have to be a significant doubt that it remained unpublished until the 1938 book. If we have no evidence it was even created before 1925 then there would be no way to keep -- it has to be created to be published, so stuff created 1925 or later would still be under U.S. copyright for sure. But if we know it was created before 1925, then I think we should also have some concrete evidence or indication that it remained unpublished to raise things to the significant doubt level. Most works were created to be sold/published/etc. Carl Lindberg (talk) 19:48, 31 December 2019 (UTC)
Well it just seems silly to me to even try to apply URAA to Dutch works if the work was never published in the US or by US publishers. That said, there is a public domain tag for all 2D works by Dutch artists if they died over 70 years ago, and that is what applies here. As to the actual creation date of the original work, it was made during the period that the artist was touring factories before WWI and before he started his museum, because by that time he was compiling a collection of work-safety devices and practises (based on his earlier tours and on-the-job accidents he witnessed). Jane023 (talk) 07:31, 1 January 2020 (UTC)
@Jane023: URAA is the law that just applies to works that were not published in US. And that is how copyright through Berne Convention works: applying local law to foreign works. It is irrelevant whether you find it silly or not; it is real. And note, that in Mexico, and even in Spain Herman Heijenbrock's works are still copyrighted. Unless we drop the requirement to follow US copyright law in Wikimedia Commons rules, we cannot ignore it. Ankry (talk) 12:39, 1 January 2020 (UTC)
Be that as it may, this work is not copyrighted, regardless of URAA. Discussing the copyright of the book is not the issue - it's the artwork which counts here. Jane023 (talk) 12:54, 1 January 2020 (UTC)
A country's laws apply within its own borders. The length of copyright differs between countries -- in some countries it expired decades ago. Many works which have expired in the Netherlands are still copyrighted longer in Spain (80pma). The URAA only applies in the U.S., but those are the laws Wikimedia is directly subject to, and that is part of the policy here. The Diary of Anne Frank is likewise now public domain in the Netherlands, but still copyrighted in the U.S. for similar reasons. For works published before 1978, the U.S. uses a term based on publication, not the author's life. The 95 years from publication is roughly equivalent to 70pma -- some works will last longer in the U.S. (works made later in life), while others last longer in Europe (those done early in life). We also delete pre-1925 works from European authors who died less than 70 years ago, even though they are perfectly copyright-free in the U.S., for similar policy reasons. The U.S. term does seem unfairly long for anonymous works, true, which is almost always longer than everyone else's (which used to be balanced by copyright notice/renewal requirements but no longer). It's understandably frustrating to have to wait for one impossibly long copyright term to expire only to find there's another even longer one, but that is the law (combined with our policy).
However, if these works were published before the book, then yes the book's publication date is immaterial. When was the painting created, again? There is a copyright tag for Dutch works yes, but works need a tag for both the Dutch status *and* the U.S. status. We have to show how the painting is PD in the US, where the death date of the author usually does not matter. Carl Lindberg (talk) 05:46, 2 January 2020 (UTC)
I am aware that a country's laws apply within its borders, even in the EU. What is frustrating is having this online conversation take so long to convey the basic idea, which is the copyright status of this particular painting in relation to the catalogs that printed copies of it. The painting was created in the period prior to WWI. WWI started in 1914. Jane023 (talk) 08:38, 2 January 2020 (UTC)
*There* we go, thanks. Multiple folks above asked when the painting was created, with no real answer -- I'm guessing most thought that 1938 was the date of publication (as that is stated on the original DR from 2011). The similar question was asked in the previous undeletion request, though less directly -- we also need to find out how it was PD based on U.S. rules as well, and no evidence was provided. If it was created before WWI, then  Support as it also qualifying for {{PD-US-expired}}. Technically the latter is based on publication not creation, but to me, barring some specific evidence of it remaining unpublished for a time, I have no problem assuming it was published no longer after creation thus qualifying for that status per U.S. law. That would mean it was too old to have been restored by the URAA in the first place, and we were keeping it deleted until the Dutch copyright ran out in 2019. However, works by this author created 1925 or later would definitely still have U.S. copyright, so we can't keep those. The question all along was whether this was a pre-1925 work or not. Carl Lindberg (talk) 15:07, 2 January 2020 (UTC)
Not sure what you mean, since I have been operating under the assumption we put that puppy to bed with this discussion: Commons:Deletion requests/Post-1923 works by Leo Gestel Jane023 (talk) 12:36, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
Well, maybe, this DR should be reopened as our understanding of URAA and WMF position to URAA seems to be better now than in 2014. There were more contradicting DRs at that time. However I do not intend to do so nor I think that we should refer to it here. This is another case, and if the community decided to take a decision that is against rules, it does not automatically change the rules. Ankry (talk) 00:22, 10 January 2020 (UTC)
This is not a undeletion request due to a technically incorrect DR. The original DR was correct at the time as the artist had not been dead yet for 70 years. That is the only thing that has changed. Jane023 (talk) 12:04, 13 January 2020 (UTC)

I will take one last try at this. I think we agree on the following -- the painting was made in the Netherlands in 1902. It was in private hands very recently. The studio which made it held a showing around 1902. It does not appear in any book that has been mentioned here.

From those facts, I think we can agree that it is unlikely that the painting was ever owned by a museum -- museums rarely sell works they own to private collectors. Therefore, unless it was part of the studio's gallery showing around 1902, it probably has not been seen in public between the time it was painted and recently. It has not been proven beyond a significant doubt that the painting was part of the 1902 showing, so we cannot keep it because it is probably still under copyright. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 15:10, 13 January 2020 (UTC)

Your conclusions are surprising. The painting (as far as I know) is still in the collection of the museum it was originally in from circa 1914 onwards, which is currently part of the collection of the Museum Helmond, where the rest of the (large, and not just paintings!!) collection was transferred back in the 1980s. It may possibly be on show, but has certainly been "published" before this publication. Not sure where you got the info that the painting was recently in private hands (am starting to wonder what the heck is in that file description now that incriminates it so much!). The image is a photo taken from an illustration used in a retrospective published by a defunct company of the Netherlands as a historic image of its own building that no longer existed when the publication itself was published. Jane023 (talk) 10:17, 14 January 2020 (UTC)
@Jameslwoodward: Was your response meant for this work, or a different UDR here? The comments above were that it appeared in a 1938 book and was nowhere near new at the time -- seems virtually certain this was published long before 1925 and as such has not had US copyright in a long time. Carl Lindberg (talk) 07:08, 15 January 2020 (UTC)

Igor MininTemplate:13 january 2020 The photographer was my brother and made a photo as a private person. What permission in this case do you means? It is from our family photos collection photography. It is very strange to take permission for a photo from a family collection from a family member. Rgds Igor — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mwkmin (talk • contribs) 12:45, 13 January 2020 (UTC)

 Oppose First, when you uploaded the image, you claimed that it was your own work -- that is, that you were the photographer. Now you claim that your brother was the photographer. Which are we to believe -- or was the photographer some third party? Making incorrect claims of authorship is a serious violation of Commons rules -- if you do it again, you may be blocked from editing here.

Second, assuming that your brother was, in fact, the photographer, then only he can license the free use of the image. In order for the image to be restored, he must send a free license using OTRS. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 15:23, 13 January 2020 (UTC)

File:Canadian Army Primary Badge.png

The reason I have uploaded the Canadian Army Primary Badge is because the one you have posted in Wikipedia is no longer considered the primary badge of the Canadian Army. This has been changed in 2013 and now considered a past Primary badge. The one I uploaded is now considered the Primary AND secondary badge for the Canadian army and the reason I know this is because I am the graphic designer for the Canadian Army. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Joanna Gajdicar (talk • contribs) 14:19, 13 January 2020 (UTC)

 Oppose As a general rule, Canadian Government works are copyrighted for fifty years after publication. There are exceptions which are released under the Open Government License, but that must be proven and, in any event, the CC-BY-SA you used here is not applicable.

File:Adam Kościuk.pdf

Барон Adam Kościuk, прославился в битве при Журавно, за что был жалован, коронным гетманом Яном III Собеским, богатыми земельными угодьями в Брест-Литовске. Данный род очевидно что, является одной из ветвей рода Костюшко (польск. Kościuszko). Фамилия скорее всего изменилась уже на территории Беларуси, где в основном обитал данный род, и после принятия потомками, православия. Судя по дальнейшей трансформации фамилии, (Józef Kościuk), стал именоваться как Иосиф Костюк. К сожалению, в виду агрессивной политики в Российской Империи по отношении к польскому дворянству, данных об этом роде практически не осталось, известно лишь что, данный потомок, доблестного рода, за участие в ноябрьском и январском восстаниях, был в 40-е гг. XIX в., вначале выслан в Таврическую губернию, а оттуда, уже в конце 60-х гг. XIX в., за смуту среди татар, вместе со своим сыном Yakub Costiuc, и внуками: Zaharia Costiuc, и Agapii Costiuc, был выслан в глубь Бессарабской губернии. Можно предположить, что, на них и прервался данный род, поскольку, информация о нем отсутствует. Герб рода, держат львы символизирующие верное служение рода, короне и королю, щит герба разделен на четыре равные части, на которых изображен на красном поле золотой зубр, символ доблести, трудолюбия и упорства в делах, на рогах зубра восьмиконечная звезда, символизирующая милость Божьей Матери Девы Марии над родом, на втором поле синего цвета, цвета Божьей Матери Девы Марии, золотые снопы пшеницы, что указывает на владение рода землями и занятие выращиванием хлеба. Внизу овальное поле зеленного цвета, символизирующее владение землями, которые находятся под покровительством Божьей Матери Девы Марии. Над щитом корона, как знак преданности и верности рода, королю и короне. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stanisław Sokalski (talk • contribs) 21:22, 14 January 2020 (UTC)

File:Amphastar Pharmaceuticals Inc. Logo.svg

Description This is a logo owned by Amphastar Pharmaceuticals Inc. for Amphastar. Further details: Logo of Amphastar

Source The logo is from the www.amphastar.com website. Taken from Amphastar website and converted to Vector graphics image. Original image can be found here http://www.amphastar.com/images/logo_amp.jpg?crc=174826049

Article Amphastar Pharmaceuticals Inc. (Currently in Sandbox testing mode)

Portion used The entire logo is used to convey the meaning intended and avoid tarnishing or misrepresenting the intended image.

Low resolution? The logo is of a size and resolution sufficient to maintain the quality intended by the company or organization, without being unnecessarily high resolution.

Purpose of use: The image is used to identify the organization Amphastar, a subject of public interest. The significance of the logo is to help the reader identify the organization, assure the readers that they have reached the right article containing critical commentary about the organization, and illustrate the organization's intended branding message in a way that words alone could not convey.

Replaceable? Because it is a non-free logo, there is almost certainly no free representation. Any substitute that is not a derivative work would fail to convey the meaning intended, would tarnish or misrepresent its image, or would fail its purpose of identification or commentary.

File:Google Maps Path.png

Hi

This is a snapshot of google maps. Before uploading this image, I checked google maps attribution guideline which can be found here:

https://www.google.com/permissions/geoguidelines/attr-guide/

It says that if you keep the google logo and "maps data 2020" on the image, you are allowed to use it everywhere.

So I think there is no violation here.

 Oppose First, it is not at all clear that the file is in scope. We do not keep images of people who are not notable. The subject has no independant Google hits and no WP article.
Second, "I have permission from them to upload this file" is irrelevant. The subject rarely has the right to freely license an image. That right is almost always held by the photographer or his heirs.
If you want this image restored, you will have to prove that the subject is notable. That may be impossible. You will also have to prove, using OTRS, that you have a written license from the photographer that gives you the right not merely to upload the image to Commons, but to freely license it for use by anyone anywhere for any purpose. .     Jim . . .

Thanks Ww2censor (talk) 12:03, 20 January 2020 (UTC)

@Ww2censor: Undeleted. But they may be out of scope. Any usage rationale can be deduced from the ticket? Ankry (talk) 13:17, 20 January 2020 (UTC)
Ankry: all appear to be copies of magazine pages, so I've asked to see original camera images, which would be better quality than these anyway. He does appear to be a professional photographer but there might not even be an article for them. I'll get back when they reply. Ww2censor (talk) 14:13, 20 January 2020 (UTC)

Hmm. The first page has three copyrights -- the photograph, the drawing, and the magazine page. Licenses of created work in magazines almost always are for that use only and usually don't give the magazine the right to freely license works they print. Therefore I doubt that one OTRS ticket will get us where we need to be. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 22:19, 20 January 2020 (UTC)

Well, but we should rely on OTRS agents to verify this. Non-OTRS users are not allowed to know who is contacting OTRS and OTRS agents are not allowed to reveal any information that can lead to releasing their identity. So we should not even know whether the permission is from the photographer, or from the representative of their employer who has acquired copyright to the photo.

Pi.1415926535 simply delete using as justification "redundant and/or OOS from mass upload", this is not a deletion criteria, and he did not pass trough a discussion and delete some files that I uploaded, so far I identified:

Not a criteria, not the proper way to delete a file. -- Rodrigo Tetsuo Argenton m 15:37, 12 January 2020 (UTC)

So no only one sysop using administrative tools the to impose his personal views about me, but two of them, I see... -- Rodrigo Tetsuo Argenton m 22:04, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
@Rodrigo.Argenton: First, this is an opinion, not a decission. Second, as the deletion seems to be out of process, undeletion still needs arguments why it should be done. Third, if you disagree with an admin decision, you can always ask another admin to review this decission. Fourth, refusal to act is not use of administrative tools; admins are volunteers and may refuse to act in any case. And fifth, COM:AGF is still a rule, which you seem not to follow. And because of this other volunteers (eg. admins) may feel uncomfortable to support your requests. Think of this.
Finally, I also  Oppose as no reason provided why the images should be on Commons and I agree with Jim that poorly described / poorly categorized images are useless and so out of COM:SCOPE. Ankry (talk) 22:42, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
Ankry,
I know both of them, they have personal issues with me, but this are not the point, so I'll not talk about it.
If there is a wrong usage of administrative tool, the movement shouldn't be reverted, simple. As any other volunteer.
Is the paper of the community decide if this should be deleted or not, and sysops should execute the decision; that's your paper.
Also, all of the images are under the scope, they are not great pictures, but nothing there make they out of scope.
A cityscape of San Francisco, a detailed build of the same cityscape...
If you want to know why they are without description and categories Commons:500px licensing data, I just assumed a decision of the community.
-- Rodrigo Tetsuo Argenton m 04:18, 13 January 2020 (UTC)
The first two photos are too dark. If and only if commons has other photos of the subjects then I think it's ok to delete them.
The third one's composition is a bit strange, but I dont think it should be speedily deleted.
These photos probably all depict somewhere in San Francisco. I think File:The Gate To San Francisco (212622583).jpeg and File:Skyscrapers 2 (212622483).jpeg can be kept and put into Category:Unidentified locations in San Francisco.--Roy17 (talk) 21:42, 13 January 2020 (UTC)
  •  Support As I believe that they are potentially useful for an educational purpose. Also  Strong support on procedural grounds, as even if they could have been deleted, they should not have been speedily deleted. Finally, the third one actually shows not only the buildings, but also the electrical wires, which I assume are used by trams, and that composition makes me wonder how to even fathom a reason for deletion of that file. ℺ Gone Postal (〠 ✉ • ✍ ⏿) 00:20, 15 January 2020 (UTC)

Seriously what's the argument to delete this photo, it illustrate a street at California, houses of the place...

Almost none of the recent deletions are under the normal procedure: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Log?type=delete&user=Pi.1415926535&page=&wpdate=&tagfilter=

I can not see all the photos to type down one by one why he should not delete they, are there is thousands of pictures deleted without the proper procedure, using or "Redundant and/or OOS from mass upload" or "uselessly blurry" as justification, and not a decision by the community. There is a clear problem and sysops should take an action.

  • 207718075 A good photo of a building at San Francisco, and showing at reflex another building under construction
  • 207718063 A good photo of a building at San Francisco, and showing at reflex another building

File:Anne Baaths.jpg

I request undeletion or possible deletion in the near future because the original photographer, Tom Bergs from Belgium, gave the picture to us to use. In addition I asked him again, this morning the explicit use of the picture on Wikipedia. He did not object. Kind regards, Koen Ferket--Koen Ferket (talk) 14:48, 21 January 2020 (UTC) 21/01/2020

We need permission for anyone to use it for any purpose, not just Wikipedia -- would it be possible for the photographer to follow the instructions at COM:OTRS and send in a private email, confirming the license? The procedure may seem like a pain, but accounts here are essentially anonymous, and we prefer to be sure about the rights the copyright owner gives up, and they are aware of it. Particularly since the image has an explicit copyright notice on it, yet the license is attempting to give up any and all copyright -- would CC-BY or CC-BY-SA be more preferable licenses for them, and that sort of thing. Carl Lindberg (talk) 15:24, 21 January 2020 (UTC)

 Not done: Requires a free license from Tom Bergs via OTRS.

Various photos

These were the US Army and Marine Corps public domain photos I wish to have undeleted:

And these are the video game photos I have produced myself, based on the works of American game studios, under Fair Use law, that I wish to undelete:

Thank you!!! I'm sorry for wasting your time, I've just wished to undelete these for a very very long time. The former were even available for download from the same website, taken by the Army's own photographers rather than any press. The latter, were my own screenshots and partially edited screenshots, which are covered under fair use.

Once again, thank you so much if you read this at all! Smileyface. Mantr33r (talk) 17:07, 21 January 2020 (UTC)

Can you provide links to where you found the Army photos? Abzeronow (talk) 17:12, 21 January 2020 (UTC)

This is the original site, where I found "M67 Frag Grenade Cut-Away Model with Confidence Clip.jpg" and I can see how it looks but it's being used by the army press. The photo is probably not being sold commercially, it's available on the Army page etc. Mk 19 photo might be this one or idk. I can't seem to find the original, but I distinctly remember a soldier in the credits photographed the exercise and once more, the photo was easily downloadable from the website. It's really upsetting, I'm sorry but this is the best I have. I know it was "Air National Guard" or something like that on the defense.gov or something website.

Thank you so much, really. Mantr33r (talk) 17:27, 21 January 2020 (UTC)

File:M67 Frag Grenade Cut-Away Model with Confidence Clip.jpg should have had a DR. It's ambiguous whether the photo of "Jesse M. Glass" would be covered under {{PD-USGov-Military-Army}},  Weak support on undeletion. I lean  Support on File:National Guardsmen Practice Mk. 19 40mm Grenade Launcher.jpg since that sounds like it would be a public domain photo. Abzeronow (talk) 17:49, 21 January 2020 (UTC)

On the grenade thing, I think it would fit public domain. The US Army website is a free site, there was a full resolution link to the original and the photographer practically gave them his photo. The problem is probably with the credit being listed.... Sheesh idk. Thanks again!!! Mantr33r (talk) 18:02, 21 January 2020 (UTC)

  • I don't really understand why File:National Guardsmen Practice Mk. 19 40mm Grenade Launcher.jpg was deleted in the first place. The image is from here, and was correctly tagged as a work of the US government. The grenade photo is from here and it's status is more uncertain. It's credited to Jesse M. Glass with no rank or title, and Jesse M. Glass does not appear to have any content anywhere on DVIDS, which seriously calls into question whether it is an official DoD photo. As for the rest, Commons simply doesn't accept fair use. GMGtalk 20:52, 21 January 2020 (UTC)


  •  Oppose File:M67 Frag Grenade Cut-Away Model with Confidence Clip.jpg The credit given in the caption "(Photo Credit: Jesse M. Glass)" is not satisfactory. When the photographer is a member of the military, the credit always shows rank and branch. We have to assume that Jesse Glass is a civilian, perhaps working for the government, perhaps not.
  •  Support File:National Guardsmen Practice Mk. 19 40mm Grenade Launcher.jpg The photographer's name and rank are clearly shown "Photo by Master Sgt. Matt Hecht New Jersey National Guard".
  •  Oppose The game photos all infringe on the game's copyright and cannot kept kept on Commons without a free license from the game publisher via OTRS.

@Thuresson: You totally misunderstood.

Of course I can just write "Nantou County Government" and remove the link to the Chinese Wikipedia article, but it will be harder for non-Chinese people to understand what "Nantou County Government" is.

Except for paragraph IV, that looks fine -- it is very like a CC-BY. However, paragraph IV is not good:
IV After using the information and material provided by this authorization, one should not maliciously alter its related information. If edited and the reworked information does not match the original, the user is liable for civil and criminal legal responsibilities.
That is not a free license -- under a free license you could alter the flag -- put a big black X across it in protest, or whatever else you wanted. Therefore I remove part of my comment above and still oppose restoration. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 23:50, 2 December 2019 (UTC)
Paragraph IV looks like COM:NCR to me and is extremely similar to the Swastika example in the article demonstrating what is still considered as free content despite significant legal restrictions. --Wcam (talk) 00:02, 3 December 2019 (UTC)
I disagree. The German restriction on the use of the swastika is entirely independent of the copyright status of the work containing it. Similarly, restrictions on photography in museums are non-copyright restrictions, but (assuming the work is out of copyright) the museum has a cause of action only against the photographer and not against users of his work. However, this is a restriction on the use of the image that relies entirely on the fact that the grantor holds the copyright and permits its use only if it is never used in certain ways that would otherwise be entirely legal. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 16:26, 3 December 2019 (UTC)
I see it quite differently. The wording of Paragraph IV is more like "FYI if you use our work in a certain way you may face other legal consequences besides copyright issues" rather than "We as the copyright holder restrict the use of our work in a certain way", as what is permitted copyright-wise is already clearly defined in the previous paragraphs. --Wcam (talk) 17:25, 3 December 2019 (UTC)
No. The only way that the copyright holder could prevent the use of the image in a way prohibited by paragraph IV is by asserting its copyright. Someone who published an image of the flag defaced in some way could do so perfectly legally and without any consequences other than being in violation of the license. That makes this a restriction that is based on copyright. It amounts to an ND restriction.
For example, someone who had a bad experience there could take the image and write "I hate Nantou" across the flag and post it on their web page. That would be entirely legal in every respect except that it would violate paragraph IV and therefore would be a copyvio. In order for images to be kept on Commons, they must be free for such uses..     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 15:21, 4 December 2019 (UTC)
OK. Consider the wording of the Chinese text of the license (which I believe takes precedence over the English translation): "...使用者須自負民事、刑事上之法律責任", which translates to "...users must bear their own civil and criminal legal liabilities". Such language clearly implies that it is not this license that restricts malicious uses but other laws. All it says is that if you use the content in a malicious way, it is not a violation of the license per se, but the license does not exonerate you from other legal liabilities.

Nevertheless, whether {{GWOIA}} is a free license and whether we should abolish it needs a broader discussion. Here is an example of a related discussion in the past: Commons:Village_pump/Copyright/Archive/2018/05#Taiwan_Central_Weather_Bureau. --Wcam (talk) 20:30, 4 December 2019 (UTC)

Reason: is highly similar to figure 2 on https://ntrs.nasa.gov/archive/nasa/casi.ntrs.nasa.gov/19930023009.pdf down to the legend being in the same order.

File:USM Bel Abbès logo.png

File was deleted with rationale per nomination (I do not believe that User:DZwarrior1 is the author and copyright holder, and that the logo has been released under the stated license.) while in the deleted version user did not claim authorship nor anybody in the DR argued why the declared finally {{PD-textlogo}} may be invalid. @Jameslwoodward: pinging the deleting admin. Ankry (talk) 20:08, 28 November 2019 (UTC)

 Oppose I don't think the uploader was the original creator of the logo -- I think he simply copied one from a shirt. The logo may be under the threshold of originality, and therefore PD, but I don't think we have a good understanding of the ToO in Algeria, so we should assume that it is, in fact, copyrighted. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 23:18, 2 December 2019 (UTC)
There was no claim that the uploader was the author of the logo in the final deleted version. It was:
|source= https://www.usmba.dz/ and [https://www.facebook.com/%D8%A5%D8%AA%D8%AD%D8%A7%D8%AF-%D8%A8%D9%84%D8%B9%D8%A8%D8%A7%D8%B3-USM-Bel-Abb%C3%A8s-792145284309617/ @USM Bel Abbès]
|author= SSPA USM Bel Abbès
[...]
== {{int:license-header}} ==
{{PD-Textlogo}}

User clearly refrained from earlier declaration, so unsure while such claim is referred above. Ankry (talk) 16:56, 3 December 2019 (UTC)

I'm not going to close this, because I deleted it in the first place. It may or may not be above the ToO in Algeria. It would probably be OK in the USA, but not in the UK. We have no evidence of where it would fall in Algeria, and the evidence for France, which we might expect Algeria would follow, is thin. Therefore, I think we must use PRP and not restore it. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 15:35, 20 December 2019 (UTC)

@Ankry and Jameslwoodward: I'm very uneasy with this one. In particular, Commons:Deletion requests/File:USM Bel Abbès logo.png was badly conducted and we still have File:Usmba-logo-2.png which is the same logo (with a slightly different rendering) as well as an older version of the logo of this club: File:USMBA.svg (kept per Commons:Deletion requests/File:USMBA.svg). That said, I guess there is not enough information for attesting that this file is free to be used on Commons. With no objection in the coming days, I'll close it as not restored.

No. 2D works are OK only if they are works of artistic craftsmanship. "Graphic works", which include eg. paintings, drawings, maps and posters are not OK. Ankry (talk) 15:28, 15 January 2020 (UTC)
But you still not explain why others 2D works are allow to keep. Besides, according to COPYRIGHT ORDINANCE (Cap. 528), it seems it is OK to keep and not violate the copyright issue.

The copyright in such a work is not infringed by— (a)making a graphic work representing it; (b)making a photograph or film of it; or

--Wpcpey (talk) 23:50, 15 January 2020 (UTC)

Yes, exactly: you can make a drawing, painting, photograph or a film of a 3d sculpture or a work of artistic craftmanship located in public place. That is how FoP works in general. The sentence quoted by you says nothing about photographs of graphic works. Maybe other images were not deleted by mistake: feel free to discuss their copyright status in a DR or in COM:VPC. My opinion is based on what COM:FOP Hong Kong states. If you think that content of this page is misleading, discuss it in COM:VPC. Ankry (talk) 20:34, 16 January 2020 (UTC)

I found there have the difference of the translation between Chinese and English version, in Chinese version 平面美術作品 means 2D artwork in English, however, in English only use "graphic work" to represent. Therefore, the picture can keep. --Wpcpey (talk) 04:55, 17 January 2020 (UTC)

 Oppose "2D artwork" and "graphic work" are essentially synonymous. I can't think of anything that would be a graphic work and not be 2D artwork or vice versa. And, by the way, Google translates it as "Graphic art works". Any and all of the three perfectly describe the subject work..     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 15:53, 17 January 2020 (UTC)

This photo is from the personal archives of the subject.--Sn2126 (talk) 14:49, 22 January 2020 (UTC)

 Oppose First, there is no such file and none of your deleted contributions come close to the file name above.

Second, on several of your contributions, you have used the template "{{Own}}", which says that you were the actual photographer. That's clearly not correct. Making incorrect claims is a serious violation of Commons rules. If you continue doing it, you will be blocked from editing here.

Third, "from the personal archives of the subject" means nothing with respect to copyright. Owning a paper or digital copy of a photograph does not give the owner any right to freely license the image. That right is held by the photographer or their heir. In cases like this, since these all appear to be recent images, the only way your uploads can be kept on Commons is if the actual photographer or their heir sends a free license using OTRS.

Lastly, you have had seven uploads deleted and six more are listed at Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Sn2126. If you continue to upload files without the necessary permission from the actual copyright holder, you will be blocked from editing here. .     Jim . . .

@TenderKhan7321:
  • It is irrelevant who you are in real world as we cannot verify this
  • Permission "to use" does not satisfy Wikimedia Commons licensing requirements; we need a free license, see COM:L
  • Providing false information is against Wikimedia rules; claiming to be the photo author exceeds the permission "to use", and is illegal if you are not.
  • Per our policies, for already published images, in order to restore the photo, the actual copyright holder should provide a free license following COM:OTRS procedure or the uploader should provide an evidence that the photo was published under a free license by the photographer basing on public records.

Deleted pictures of Musa al-Musawi

Hi these following pictures got deleted

The pictures got deleted because they were "Derivative works" I scanned these pictures from his book "the miserable revolution printed in 1995". I don't think these pictures should get deleted since the author himself put them in his book to verify his story and prove he is the person he claiming he is.

I have been working a long time on Dr Musa al-Musawis article, reading his book and researching and I think it's unfair for someone to delete these pictures when they are relevant to his article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by AmirsamanZare (talk • contribs) 12:01, 23 January 2020 (UTC)

File:This is a Florida driver's license.jpg

My image was posted on wiki April 11, 2019.

It was removed today (1/23/20) due to "copyright violations". However the site provided clearly shows that the image was taken from wiki as this was posted AFTER (July 8, 2019) I added MY image to wiki (again April, 11, 2019) - https://www.maketecheasier(dot)com/us-government-drivers-license-photos-in-facial-recognition-searches/

I re-uploaded the image today to make it more appealing by removing the background imagery. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Emavam (talk • contribs) 19:02, 23 January 2020 (UTC)

@World's Lamest Critic and Túrelio: iiseems that the maketecheasier(dot)com was rather a copyright violation, not the Commons one. Any comment? Ankry (talk) 19:57, 23 January 2020 (UTC)
Sorry, I just chose the first Google result since the license image appears on many sites. In this case it seems like the site I chose had used Emavam's original derivative image with the background. Here's one example of the original license image from 2018 and another from 2015. I don't know where the image originated, but I am certain it was not Emavam's work. World's Lamest Critic (talk) 20:09, 23 January 2020 (UTC)

The driving license itself is {{PD-FLGov}}, IMO, so non-copyrightable. The copyright applies to the background photo.

It seems that the licensor wishes to add invalid restrictions to the license. Such restrictions makes the license itself invalid, as they are explicitely prohibited in the license text.

I've taken permission from the author of the file. The work done by the author is in the public domain and he is working on the IEEE standard. He is absolutely ok for me to use this file. So, there is no copyright violation in this case.

As mentioned in the previous undeletion requests, a lot of work in IEEE is in the public domain. In fact, the author puts a lot of such content in the public domain and he encourages people to use them as much as possible. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wise Droid (talk • contribs) 04:09, 25 January 2020 (UTC)
